There are a number of coursing sports available to dogs, many of which can earn your dog titles, and nearly all dogs will run, but how to get started? HELD AT THE BIG FIELD EVENTS, the purpose of this Intro beginner’s class is to provide a quick introduction to coursing and to teach you, the handler, the beginning basics. The Intro classes are used as a jump-starter and held on the same day as our regular big events. It will give you and your dog a chance to get your feet wet BEFORE your dog runs the big course. This class will provide you with a quick overview of:
After the basics, we'll do some micro runs to get your dog started. The course is about 500 feet - just right to get your dog started and acclimated to this fun sport. Each dog will be able to run multiple times. Upon completion you’ll be able to sign up sign up for sessions reserved for "experienced" coursers! (This course is not suitable for large sighthounds like Greyhounds or Borzoi or other super-fast breeds - it's just too short for those long-distance runners!)
Each class has strictly limited attendance, is about 30 minutes, and is held during our regular field events. Pricing is $25 per dog per class.
