LURE CHASING
A fun game for dog
Does your dog love to chase? Would you like to give your dog more exercise by way of a fun game? Run Dog Run Lure Chasing is what you and your dog have been looking for.
What is Lure Chasing? Lure Chasing is a sport for dogs that involves chasing a mechanically operated lure. Some people call it lure coursing, or lure chasing. In lure chasing, dogs chase an artificial prey across a field following a pattern meant to simulate chasing live prey. The "prey" is usually a plastic bag or piece of artificial fur. Run Dog Run uses plastic lures without an scent applied. A scent is for tracking an unseen prey, and lure chasing is for chasing a prey the dogs can see through movement.
Lure chasing has numerous advantages for dogs. Dogs tend to be in better condition, plus they love the exercise since they are doing something that comes naturally. Almost every dog has the instinct to chase something. What are your typical exercise options for dogs? You can take your dog for walks, if you have the time to spare and ability to go with your dogs. You can go to a neighborhood dog park, but what if your dog isn’t very social around other dogs, or just slowly wanders around not getting quality exercise? Lure chasing is a great option for individual dogs to do something they love. Another important benefit is the mental stimulation dogs receive. When dogs receive adequate physical and mental stimulation, they are healthier, happier, well balanced, show less anxiety issues, and become less destructive.
Run Dog Run Lure Chasing is open to dogs of any breed and age. We do recommend dogs be older than 1 year of age because of the potential for injuring their growing joints. We offer this for the fun and exercise of all dogs. We use a continuous loop system to allow the “prey” to reverse direction and travel at speeds suited to match your dog’s running speed and agility. All dogs should have proper vaccinations, identification tags, and be able to return to owners on command too, as well as be on a leash while not running.
