K9 Fun Zone Barn Hunt Part 2

I have always thought that in indoor dog park was a great idea. Little did I know there is such a such a place and of course it is in Seattle!

What I love about K9 Fun Zone Inside Dog Park is that you can privately rent the space for 30 minutes or 55 minutes and bring your dogs to play. This is great for shy or reactive dogs who don't feel comfortable at outdoor dog parks but would still like the chance to play on agility equipment or just have a large area to fetch a ball or toy. And Lindy the owner is wonderful. She supervises and during the Barn Hunt she was working with our crew which was great! Here is info on Lindy!

From Fins to Paws, Dolphins to Dogs

Lindy Langum is the owner and co-founder of K9 Fun Zone, LLC. Originally from South Dakota, she moved to Northern Colorado where she earned a BS in Biological Science with a focus in animal behavior and is Certified in Canine Studies. She has applied the science behind behavior modification through the training of marine animals such as fish, turtles, sea lions and dolphins. Now living in Seattle with her princess pit bull Houdini and partner Rochford, she loves helping owners exercise, train, and entertain their furry companions.

“I focus on reward-based training and behavior modification techniques that can be applied and used to train any animal, even fish! I treat each dog and owner(s) as individuals so we can use their strengths and motivations to help them learn appropriate behaviors. Training your dog results in a peaceful household and a strengthened bond between you and your canine, as you learn to interact and clearly communicate with your companion."

In true Skip fashion he found a ball and was a happy camper.


Lindy is getting the barn hunt ready for the first contender and Skip makes sure Ball is not going anywhere.

Here is a little video showing Rat being introduced to Sierra.
