RACING INFORMATION


Interested in giving it a try?

If you and your dog want to try Lure Coursing, here is what you need to do:

* On one of the Race Days listed below come along to Wally Tate Park before racing starts.

* Introduce yourself to any of our members and explain that it is your first time. Or come to the Race Secretary's shelter and ask what you should do.

* Alternatively: Phone the Race Secretary for more information or to enter your dog.

* Allow your dog to try a Practice or Puppy Run. (Puppies must be at least 6 months old).

* All meetings start at 9:30am, unless otherwise posted. Assistance in the setting up and packing of equipment is much appreciated.


WHAT TO BRING!

* Some money if you wish to enter or make a purchase.
* Your dog on a strong fixed collar or harness. Some dogs get very excited when they see the lure.
* A good lead (not extendible) that you can easily hold onto if your dog pulls.(There is a 25-point penalty for all dogs off leash).
* A bowl for water and some shade for you and your dog if it is hot. A chair can be useful.
* A crate or something secure to leave your dog tied to for when you need to leave it.
* Poop bags.
* As there are ants on the ground maybe some spray if you are leaving your dog tied on the ground.
* Food and drink for you. We do have hot and cold drinks for sale and there is a BBQ lunch available at a reasonable cost, otherwise B.Y.O.
* A good sense of humour and an open mind.
