Happy Ratters
Unleash Your Inner Scent Hound!
Happy Ratters Fun Vermin Hunting for Dogs, is a rat sport set in an “urban” setting, They offer a variety of games where dog/owner will work together to search for rats in tubes, hidden in a variety of areas such as clean “trash,” living areas, gardens, mazes, etc. to identify which tube has a live rat in it (as opposed to Bedding/Litter or an Empty Tube).
The Happy Ratter’s Philosophy is for the dog and owner to have a fun, positive, successful experience while enhancing the bond between dog and owner, while placing a high priority on safety!
They offer a titling program that allows all dogs to compete toward different level titles.
You will have the ability to book ‘try it’s’ and/or then enter a trial!
