Basenji Training
  • Can you believe it? We're actually going to have a practice in MI! lol Just got the word today that practice is on next weekend. Details below. Anyone in the area who's interested in getting into lure coursing, or just wants to let their dog get some exercise, come check it out! I left off Meg's contact info, so if anyone wants to get ahold of her, contact me privately and I'll send it to you. I am hoping to be there for the first couple hours, we'll see how flexible work is. So I can help folks learn the ropes and what to do.

    Hope to see a few of you there!


    MGA (Michigan Gazehound Association) is offering lure coursing practice-not sure if we will have an ASFA judge present for pre-certs
    April 26, 2009 Sunday starting at around 10 am we will have practice in Stockbridge MI-
    We will be offering lure coursing practice for any breed/mix canine- with a course laid out for about 550 yards–if you have a young/new dog we can do shorter distances.

    Normally the clubs have practices after the Saturday trials. Unfortunately none of the clubs in our area have separate practice days. You might also think about going to some of the lira meets for straight run practices. The schedule is at lgra.org

    This coming weekend there is LGRA and NOTRA in Orange County. My mom has the information. I think there is also some racing in December in Orange County. Don't know what the show schedule looks like or if these conflict with any. I do know this time of year is the racing season in So Cal since the parks are available.

    Yay glad to see some more local interest! As far as training, there is a group called SONG (Sighthounds of North Georgia) that does informal practices once a month or so depending on man power & weather. These practices are a great way to introduce a new dog to the lure. However, for most dogs its an instinctual thing & they don't need much training. Lola & Callie both caught on to it their first time. I just let them both watch other dogs doing it first, then let them go & they did their thing. Website for SONG: http://www.nghounds.info/index_files/Page430.htm It doesn't get updated frequently, but go to the lure coursing practice tab, scroll to the bottom & there are instructions to get on the e-mail list for upcoming practices. Hope to see you lure coursing soon!
