Catching Your Dog

This one is important to know and understand and warranted it’s own stand-alone tip. DON’T try to catch, or grab your dog as they go by you at the finish! I see too many people trying to grab their dog as they run past them at near full speed, in an attempt to keep them off the bags. It's counter-productive and potentially quite dangerous for the dog and handler. I will gladly replace the bags if your dog is a “bag-eater”, as opposed to seeing the lengths some people go to in order to keep their dogs off them! In fact, I’d prefer the handler to encourage the dog to get the Lure. If you ever expect to move on to CAT or other Lure Coursing opportunities, a recall will likely be of little to no help on the course, whereas strong prey drive will. If your dog just gave you everything it had trying to “get the bunny”, resulting in getting from the start line to the finish as quick as it could, let it have its prize! Get the Bunny! (But don't let them shred them.) Next up...
