G2 Barn Hunt is a dog training business led by Lorri Griffin, a premier barn hunt trainer with multiple championship titles including RATCHX101. She offers group and private barn hunt classes for dogs of all breeds and sizes, focusing on harnessing natural hunting instincts to find hidden rats in hay-filled environments. Lorri specializes in helping dogs of all temperaments—shy, timid, or high-energy—discover their drive to hunt, and she has successfully trained dogs from Chihuahuas to Golden Retrievers to earn top national rankings. She also breeds and supplies high-quality performance rats for trials and serves as a certified trial secretary using Secreterrier Software. Her facility in Morriston, Florida, is purpose-built for barn hunt training and competitions, offering a clean, safe, and supportive environment for both dogs and handlers.

Lorri’s unique advantage lies in her deep involvement in the sport beyond training: she is a certified rat wrangler, trial organizer, and award-winning professional with national recognition. Her students’ dogs have earned top honors including National Champions and #1 breed rankings, demonstrating her ability to bring out peak performance. She also offers seminars and workshops for those looking to deepen their skills in barn hunt.

G2 Barn Hunt is not just a training center—it’s a community hub for barn hunt enthusiasts, with a strong emphasis on fun, progress, and building strong handler-dog bonds.
