Fun and fast for all sizes.  Lure Coursing is letting your dog do what comes naturally - chase stuff.  The area is completely fenced and dogs who have never tried coursing are invited.  Your dog must be a minimum of one year of age, physically mature for their breed and you must have your veterinarian clear your dog for this sport.  Lure coursing is lots of fun but the dogs run hard so please check with your veterinarian.  Dogs will be run individually and the Hunt Master has final say on temperature, weather and turf cancellations, whether a dog may run and how many times a dog may run in a day.  Please call two hours before the start of coursing to determine temperature, weather and turf conditions.
