Hunter's comment

Ok, take it from your doggo's perspective. For hundreds of years his breed was likely bred with a specific human aiding purpose in mind, hunting, tracking, herding ect. Now he's got to wait at home for you to get home for walkies... no wonder he's got so much energy!

I think this device is so damn cool, it's like an on the go agility course for your dog (or a group of dogs). There's a pully and "leur" system that drags a flag around the ground. If your dog has that "all rodents must die" prey drive they're going to LOVE this. The best part is it fits in any size back yard or you can bring it to the park and configure it in any shape you want.

What I didn't know is that this type of activity is actually also done on a competitive level!

"Lure coursing is a competitive sport for sighthounds and is also a sport where dogs of all breeds can participate to earn titles. With the American Sighthound Field Association (ASFA), competition is limited to a list of specific sighthound breeds. The AKC and UKC also offer competitive lure coursing for sighthounds, as well as “ability” and “straight dash” style coursing that is open to all breeds. In fact, SwiftPaws lure coursing equipment ran the very first AKC sanctioned FAST CAT event in Florida."-source
