Luring in Australia?

Basenji Training
  • Hi All,

    Once my pup is old enough id love to introduce her to lure coursing, however ive had a little bit of trouble finding any clubs that do that in my hometown Townsville.

    I was wondering if anyone knew of any aus clubs that could point me in the right directions

    Thanks :)

  • Okay, this is not about luring. When you mentioned Townsville I just sighed. It's a dream of mine to visit that area of Queensland.

  • lol :) Are you going to visit Queensland one day? Townsville isnt too bad. Although we usually get called "Brownsvile" in the summer months as well the grass isnt very green LOL

  • The next big trip I want to do is Queensland - the coast from Brisbane travelling north. Our last big trip was the Cook Islands and south Pacific. A lovely trip. But I didn't see any ****atoos on that trip (we own two ****atoos) so I still need to get to Australia.

  • Thinking outside the square.
    I see there are Grayhound races in your town.
    Maybe get in touch and see if they have a training facility you could access.
    Or a trainer may have a track at home you could use.

    Plan B, start a group:eek:

    he he he… ahh you can have all the ****atoos you want when you visit - take them home with you :P i have one that drives me NUTS (he/she is a wild one).... At ungodly hours he sits high in a tree and skreaches his lungs out... it echos around the bedroom he is that loud. I would surely love to shoot him (lol) for disturbing my sleep :P but they are lovely animals otherwise :)

    yeah i got in contact with one of the local agility/dog sports group (TOADs). They dont run lure coursing and confirmed there wasnt a coursing group in Townsville. However, never thought of contacting the grayhound group so thats worth following up. Thanks for the idea :)

    @Mia: I tried an online seach for lure coursing in Orlando but nothing. The closest one is about an hour away, actually ASFA only cites 3 in the whole state of Florida! If anyone can give me advice on how to find a club and get my puppy running that would be great. Thanks If they are not listed with ASFA or not AKC ( and I check AKC site and looks like only one club in AKC does coursing in FLA, Sunshine State Coursing Club of Central Florida) most likely you will not find one any closer. You might try NOTRA (oval track and see if any in FLA) but usually the same clubs that course do NOTRA. Also you might contact the club in Fla and ask them..

    @ZenGrrrl: Hi Pat … I've never done lure coursing before, but would like to try it out with my B-boy. We're in Los Angeles; any recommendations on the closest coursing location(s)? ~ Lori ~ If you check ASFA (www.asfa.org) and AKC (www.akc.org) you can find were trial are being held… also Lisa might chime in here and give you a PM to her Mom that lives in So. Cal and courses quite a lot.
