Scent work with live rats provides safe and fulfilling enrichment for dogs of all breeds and ages, while enhancing the bond between dog and handler. Join us for a unique opportunity for your dog to fulfill those biological hunting instincts in a way that's fun and safe for all involved (including the rats)!

We offer both small group classes and private lessons. See below for details and pricing for each training format.
Training Policies: Registration & Equipment
All levels are welcome in small group classes -- our themed lessons are adapted for each dog's (and handler's) individual learning journey. Max 4-5 dogs per 75-minute class.
Rat Hunt Class ($25 per dog) - Students may choose to focus on just Barn Hunt, just Urban Ratting, or train for both sports.
The suggested numbers of dogs below are based on playing just one sport at the lower levels. If your dogs are competing at more advanced levels OR if you want to practice both sports, please consider booking additional time.
Single Handler
Shared Between Two Handlers* - each handler billed proportionately and pays separately through their own account
*Note: To book shared lessons, please email info@citysniffers.org with all handler names & emails and your agreed time slot, and we'll set it up for you and email an invoice with online payment link. Please first make sure all handlers have created their accounts in the booking software and added all dogs who will be attending.
