Ha ha - actually, funny story - you know the videos Tori has of Cosmo's spin when she is going after the helper? That is what Rah turned into when lure coursing!!! I used a Mendota lead on Rah for coursing, it was as gentle I could be on him.

They wouldn't let anyone course with anything hanging off their dogs - no collars with tags, no bandanas, nothing that hangs that could possibly get stuck on the lure or the line.

And like Julie said, Aus/Out/Drop it definitely doesn't work on the line. Rah got to take home a bunch of ugly ripped up bags - I think it would depend on what type of coursing you are doing. JUlie knows more about what types there are (oval, straight, and all the turns, etc) - Rah's courses had a bunch of turns, and the problems were is that despite his size, Rah can turn really tightly and he was able to catch the lures on all the turns when he accelerated out of them faster than they expected.
