What is Barn Hunt?

https://www.barnhunt.com/faq.html

Get signed up for an intro to the sport. Starts at 6pm.

In Barn Hunt, dogs locate rats (safely enclosed in aerated tubes) hidden in a straw/hay bale maze. It’s a timed event with 3 different dog height divisions. Teams can get titles, placements, and championships.

It always baffles me when we pull into a parking lot to walk dogs andthe parking lot is very nearly empty but someone pulls in right next to us. I mean, like, we-can-barely-open-the-car-door right next to us.
Why.
I mean, whyyyyyyyy.
