Well, my dog just does this on our daily walks. He's racked up a fair number of kills. There are just so many rats out there that he finds them in long grass or bushes as we walk past. Or inside trash cans, under cars etc.

Just on a leash he’s quick enough to catch a rat?

He's on a flexi-lead. He's a 90 lb doberman mix and he's more of an ambush hunter. That is, he smells them in their hiding spots, pounces and pulls them out. He doesn't shake them either. His mouth is big enough that he just crushes them with his jaws.
