Description: Rat Sports Practice Time, which is held in the Come Bye Barn, is your chance to practice with live rats. If you have questions during practice, or would like guidance, staff will be available to help, but this is not a “class.” For safety reasons, dogs and handlers should have basic proficiency/knowledge or competing at the beginner/open level before participating in Rat Sports Practice Time
