🐾 BARN HUNT MYTH #1 🐾

❌ “Barn Hunt is only for terriers.”

This is probably the most common myth I hear—and it’s simply not true!

While Barn Hunt was inspired by the traditional work of terriers, today’s sport is open to dogs of all breeds, shapes, sizes, and backgrounds.

In fact, one of my favourite things about Barn Hunt is seeing the variety of dogs that get involved. From tiny dogs to giant breeds, working dogs to companion dogs, pedigrees to crossbreeds—dogs of all kinds can enjoy searching, problem-solving, and using their incredible noses.

The most important thing isn’t your dog’s breed. It’s whether they enjoy sniffing, exploring, and having fun.

If you’ve ever thought, “My dog isn’t the right type for Barn Hunt,” this is your reminder that you don’t need a terrier to get started.. You might just be surprised by what your dog can do. 🐾

What breed is your dog? Let us know in the comments!

🐾 BARN HUNT MYTH-BUSTING WEEK 🐾

Over the years, I’ve heard all sorts of reasons why people think Barn Hunt isn’t for them or their dog…

The truth is, many of these concerns are based on myths that stop people from discovering a sport their dogs could absolutely love.

So this week, I’ll be tackling one common Barn Hunt myth each day and sharing what I’ve learned from working with dogs of all breeds, ages, and personalities.

If you’ve ever been curious about Barn Hunt but weren’t sure whether it was right for you and your dog, keep an eye on the page this week—you might be surprised!

And who knows… this could be the sign you’ve been waiting for to give it a go. 🐀 🐾❤️

🐾 Intermediate Barn Hunt Workshop 🐾

What a fantastic day with our Intermediate Barn Hunt group!

Most of these teams have attended before, and it has been wonderful to see how much their skills, confidence, and teamwork continue to develop. The progress everyone is making is truly impressive, and each workshop builds on the last.

A special welcome to Kathy and Bella, who joined the group for the first time. You both did amazingly well, and the improvement between each run was incredible to watch. What a fantastic achievement!

We also had some exciting discussions about planning a fun Barn Hunt UK trial in September. Further details will be shared soon, so keep an eye out for updates.

Thank you to everyone for your enthusiasm, support, and willingness to keep challenging yourselves and your dogs. It was a real success, and we thoroughly enjoyed spending the day with you all.

And while you’re looking through the photos, see if you can spot our newest (and youngest!) spectator… a future Barn Hunt champion in the making! 😊🐾

We can’t wait to see what you achieve next! 🐀🐾

A huge thank you to everyone who attended our Beginners Barn Hunt Workshop on Saturday!

We had a fantastic day, and all of the dogs did an amazing job. It was wonderful to see so many enthusiastic handlers and dogs giving Barn Hunt a go, building confidence, and having fun together.

We’ve uploaded all of the photos to our WhatsApp group, but if you’d like any individual photos sent directly to you, please feel free to get in touch.

Thank you again for joining us, Kev and I really loved seeing you all and we hope to see you and your dogs at a future workshop soon!

I’ll update everyone tomorrow with the current Barn Hunt availability for future workshops. In the meantime, enjoy these photos from the day! 🐾

📸🐾 Dakota’s Barn Hunt Update 🐾📸

Hi everyone!

I’m still waiting patiently for the photos from my Barn Hunt adventure before I can share all the fun with you! 🐀🐶

I had a great time sniffing, searching, and showing off my hunting skills, and I can’t wait to show you what I got up to. As soon as the photos arrive, they’ll be posted here for everyone to see.

Until then, I’ll just keep practicing my best “waiting patiently” face… although treats do make the wait easier! 😄

Stay tuned for photos coming soon!

🐾 Dakota ❤️
