One thing about Barn Hunt, especially once you get to the senior level the climbs are a lot higher, and I think he is getting a bit arthritic as he doesn't always want to climb up so high to find the rats. Sometimes I can tell they are up there though from how he acts on the ground, lol. I am right now training him to find deer sheds, and we will look for those on our property this winter.
We did barn hunt, too. No video. It was fun! Linus really got into it. Not quite like the Cairn Terrier (OMG!) but he had fun and di well. He snaps at the rat, much like he snaps at spiders in the house. He also tries to pick up the tube and gets a little rough with it out of frustration that he can't pick it up.
