VA PAWS Lure-Coursing

With the generosity of Laura and Mark Cormier, VA PAWS held a lure-coursing event in Christiansburg. The Cormiers donated their time and equipment for this fun event. For a nominal fee, dogs would chase a lure ( a plastic bag tied to a string ) around a course of pulleys and string. The dogs and owners had a great time.

Lure coursing is an exciting activity that is traditionally done by sight hounds, but any dog that likes to chase moving objects will love it. Dogs run one at a time and chase a lure being pulled around a secure field by a string and pulley system. Seeing your dog charging around the field is a sight you won't forget!
