Dog Lovers Days’ Lure Course |
|
| How do you satisfy your dog’s high-energy inner instincts? Lure Coursing may be the perfect answer! It’s an exciting way for him to do what comes naturally, but in a safe, controlled environment. Dogs chase a mechanized lure around a course that simulates the unpredictability of chasing live prey. Zig-zagging across an open arena is simply heaven for these dogs! At the same time, it helps improve their focus, agility and sportsmanship.
There is a Fee of $10.00 per dog to run the course. |
