My dog, Stevie and I met Abby while looking for barn hunt lessons. Previous to meeting Abby we had done a few introductions to ratting but Stevie didn’t see zero value in finding the rat so she became distracted quickly when searching. 

Abby showed my dog, Stevie how fun it is to actually search for the rat and once Stevie learned how fun the search was Barn Hunt quickly become one of her favorite sports. Thanks to Abby’s creative and playful ways of teaching Stevie and I recently earned our RATM title. In under a year of competing Stevie has earned her RATN, RATO, RATS, RATM and CZ8S titles, all 1st and 2nd place runs. 

I can’t thank Abby enough for adding another fun sport to our lives and taking the time to get to know my dog as an individual so that the training worked for her.
