4 Barn Hunt General Briefing please review, especially if you are new to Barn Hunt! You must enter and exit the ring with the dog on collar/leash. You may not remove your collar/leash until you are in the ring and the gate is secured. You must replace your collar/leash before the gate opens for you to exit. Dogs must run without collar/leash. Toys/treats are never allowed in the ring. Do not throw your collar/leash on the ground. Hand your collar/leash to the Rat Wrangler or outside leash runner or you may fold your collar/leash and place it in your pocket as long as can fit entirely in your pocket with no portion of the collar/leash showing. Do not hand the judge the collar/leash or a rat tube. When releasing your dog, do not bowl, shove or drop your dog. On the course, don't body block or push your dog with your foot/leg/body. You must wait for the judge to release you verbally before you release your dog. Time starts when any part of you or your dog leaves the start box. Deliberate leadouts are not allowed. After the release of the dog, you may not touch your dog except as allowed in the Allowed Praise and Reward portion of the rules. You may not touch any tube prior to calling the rat. You must call the rat tube clearly and decisively and not form it as a question. Typically the preferred word is RAT. Allowing your dog to kick/pitch/maul any tube without either calling a rat or redirecting your dog may result in a stalling penalty. Being unable to control your dog either for tube removal or removal from the course may incur a Lack of Control penalty. You may not deliberately touch or step over any bale except during the Allowed Praise and Reward portion. If the Rat Wrangler is removing the tube, you must restrain (physically or verbally) your dog until the Rat Wrangler is safe. If you verbally redirect your dog from the tube and don t pick it up yourself, it will remain on the course. All dogs must be in the blind before a blind can start. You are responsible for getting to the blind. You may not go back to the blind after your run. You are expected to treat your dog, your fellow competitors, the trial committee, and the judge with respect. You can't have a phone or other communication device in the blind. You can't time yourself in any way in the ring. A copy of the rules is available at the Trial Secretary's table or at Take a deep breath, smile, and have fun!
