Good day today with more people learning how to set out a course and also how to set the bike up to run a lure around the course.
There was really good progress with people learning how to operate and set the bike up with good throttle control from very one by the end of the day.
I think everyone realized today, it is a real battle of wits between you and the dog running the course and sometimes the dog out wits you. But having said that, good progress was made by all the new Lure operators.

Looks like the weather is going to be great for the training afternoon on Sunday. If people who are coming to learn how it all works could get there around 12 so we can start at 12.30 that would be great.
see you there.

The training day will be on the 28th of this month starting at 12.30pm.
The afternoon will cover how to lay out and set up a course and how to operate the bike for those who have ridden a motorcycle.
Those attending can bring their dog's, but the dogs will not be allowed near the bike, so you will need someone to look after them while you are around the bike or you can put them in the dog park.
The dogs will get a run at the end of the day by the trainees who have mastered the operation of the bike.
It will be an enjoyable relaxed afternoon so people can understand how those plastic bags the dogs love to chase go around the field.
see you there

Most of the videos I took on Sunday didn't come out, smudge on the screen. So here is Jerrys, the Springer Spaniels run again, but I have slowed part of the run down to show the tremendous stretch Jerry gets while chasing those plastic bags.

After all that rain we finally got to have a lure course meeting and what a great day it was today at Wally Tate park. There will be a lot of happy dogs tonight.
First of congratulations to all the winners of the invitational events today
The Hope Island Trophy won by Misty the Italian Greyhound
Fun is a Terrier trophy won by Henry the smooth coat Fox Terrier
Shannett Trophy won by Jerry the English Springer Spaniel
Rouge et Noir cup won by Indy the Whippet.
Senthound Trophy won by Halley the Beagle
Misty the Italian Greyhound owned by J. Van Leeuwen is the first Italian Greyhound to win the Hope Island trophy . It was great watching Misty run flat out over the 600m, well done Misty.
What about Indy the Whippet winning the Rouge et Noir cup, for a Whippet that wouldn't chase not so long ago, just look at Indy now.
Thank you to Sabine, Rosine and Mike who judged the invitational event also special thanks to Andrew who operated the bike all day to run the lure, doing a great job of it.
There were people who did a beginner run for their dog and then went on to do a full run and were very surprised just how good their dog chased and how much the dog enjoyed the chase. The beginner runs are a great place to start.
Also thanks to the Beagle club for running the barbecue today.
So another very successful day of lure coursing at Wally Tate Park.
