Rat or Treat Happy Ratters Trial

City Sniffers Rat Hunt Club, a division of City Sniffers Dog Sports Training, will host a 3-day Happy Ratters trial on October 24-26, 2025, at our facility in downtown Springfield, Illinois. Join us for second Howl-o-ween themed trial: we'll celebrate with a costume contest, special treats for dogs & handlers and more!

Lots of opportunity for titles/move-ups with four Standard runs offered, as well as a variety of our favorite games. This is a very welcoming competition venue for beginners, AND you can always treat or play with your dog at the rat!

Special awards on tap: Perfect Sniff Day, Fastest Hunt, Sloth Award ("Phew - just in time!), Judge's Choice, Bridge & Burrow Bonus (most B&Bs performed in one run)
