SATURDAY’S COURSE TIPS FOR HANDLERS 1. Chickahominy Riverfront Park (CRP) is not securely fenced. It is strongly recommended that prior to running your dog, you have a good “recall” control over your dog, as the dogs will be off leash.

2. Handlers should wear comfortable, sturdy shoes (no sandals or flip flops, please!) and be physically able to hold and release their dogs, as well as catch them.

3. Handlers may carry toys or treats on their persons to assist with retrieving their dog at the completion of their run

SUNDAY’S COURSE 4. Dogs will be brought to the start line on leash and released only upon a verbal signal (“Tally-Ho!”) from the Huntmaster. Dogs may be released by hand, folded leash or using a traditional lure coursing slip lead.

5. The Huntmaster will instruct the handler to “Retrieve your dog” upon completion of the run. The handler is expected to promptly secure the dog and leave the field with the dog on leash.

6. Handlers are advised to warm up their dogs prior to their run and walk them for about 10 minutes afterwards.

7. Lure coursing is a physically demanding sport so please make sure your dog is in good shape. If you are not sure, make an appointment with a

veterinarian to get an opinion.

8. Any person, upon reasonable complaint, may be asked to leave the grounds Field and Equipment Information: A battery-powered, continuous loop of the test by the Field Committee and may be disciplined by the AKC. machine will be used.
