Luratics!

What is Luratics? (pronounced LOO-ra-ticks) Luratics is a K9 all-breed lure coursing club where dogs get to chase a “bunny” attached to a string in a fenced grassy field. The “bunny” is either a plastic bag or a pelt lure, a toy, or something similar - no real rabbits are used!!

What is lure coursing? Lure coursing is a fun dog chase sport that all dogs can participate in - from 6 months to 14 years (depending on health) - coursing is the epitome of fun things to do for dogs. We're very conscientious about the safety of the dogs and always put their safety first. Puppies under 1 year run a modified course to protect their soft growth plates, and seniors are also run in a little different manner.

 The safety of the dogs is our first priority and if Pat sees any issue either before or during a run, she'll stop it to see what's wrong. We'd rather have you disappointed that she pulls your dog off the field than have any kind of injury happen or one that goes unnoticed.

Almost all dogs will run after the “bunny”; they get to run as fast as they can in a safe environment and they get to catch it at the end. On the Big Field, each dog gets 3 runs; runs are approximately 1,000 feet. On the Micro Runs the course is about 500 feet and because we limit the number of dogs that can attend, each dog gets as many runs as they want (or that is safe). Lure Coursing is a safe and fun activity that everyone enjoys!

Pat Bennett started Luratics in 2005 and we are now in our 21st year of running dogs. Dogs that run the lure fulfill their biological imperative to hunt, working their minds and their bodies. Coursing is the ultimate activity and fosters calm and positive behavior. Come out and join us and you'll become a lure coursing fanatic (Luratic) too!
