🐀🎉 WOW!

What a FUN Happy Ratters League!

We had over 20 dog and handler teams join us for our Happy Ratters League, and we had a ton of FUN!

So many teams earned Standard titles, Game titles, and even Versatility titles! 🏆 We LOVE having fun with our dogs and celebrating all of their accomplishments!

Happy Ratters gives dogs an opportunity to use their incredible sense of smell, follow their natural hunting instincts, solve problems, build confidence, and solve puzzles. It's wonderful mental and physical enrichment, and a great way for dogs and their humans to learn and have fun together!

A HUGE thank you to everyone who came out to play, helped make our league so much FUN, and supported our growing Happy Ratter community! These events truly take a village, and we couldn't do it without you!

Want to join the FUN?

Whether you're brand NEW to Rat Sports or already an experienced Rat Hunter, we'd LOVE to have you come play with us!
We offer single-session workshop style group classes and private training to help you get started or level up your hunting skills!

Puppy Classes are back in October! 🐾🍂

Have a new puppy? This is such an important time to get started with training, socialization and all those puppy life skills!

Our Puppy Single Sessions are designed to help puppies get off to a great start while helping you build communication, connection and skills you can use every day.

We’ll work on:

🐾 Connection games
🐾 Hand targeting
🐾 Sit & down
🐾 Coming when called
🐾 Leash foundations
🐾 Positive socialization

And, of course, we’ll make plenty of time for puppy FUN, exploration and learning through positive reinforcement!

Why start puppy class early?

The American Veterinary Society of Animal Behavior (AVSAB) considers the first three months of a puppy’s life the most important period for socialization and recommends that puppies have safe, positive socialization opportunities before they are fully vaccinated.

Puppy class gives us an opportunity to introduce new people, puppies, surfaces, sounds, handling and experiences in a thoughtfully managed environment while helping puppies learn that new things can be safe and FUN!

Puppy Single Sessions

Location: imPETus Animal Training - 2200 E. Pama Lane
Format: Single Session Puppy Class - $55
Wednesday, October 7 - 6:00 PM

🍂 Sniffing into Fall! Does your dog LOVE to sniff? Give them something FUN to do with that nose!

The weather is perfect and it’s a great time to try a scent sport with your dog. Whether your dog is brand new or already loves searching, we have lots of ways to get them sniffing:

🐀 Happy Ratters
🐀 Urban Rat Hunt / NASDA
🌾 Barn Hunt
🐾 Nose Work
👣 Mantrailing

These activities give dogs a chance to use their natural abilities, solve problems, build confidence, and have FUN with their humans. It provides enrichment, shared learning and those with a competitive streak can go on to competition too!

Not sure which one your dog would love? Tell us a little about your dog in the comments or DM us and we’ll help you find a place to start!
