Hunting is the sighthound's natural drive. Running and coursing should be fun for the dogs.
That is why animal protection is the top priority for us sighthound friends.

The natural hunting instinct of the sighthound should be satisfied and the best possible utilization of the dogs should be achieved.
Originally, the greyhound's game consisted of rabbits, deer, wolves, coyotes, and gazelles. Hunting live game is prohibited by law in Germany, so coursing is a good alternative to racing. In contrast to greyhound racing, coursing simulates the natural behavior of game animals. It hits hook after hook and the chasing dog has to be awake and fit to be able to follow the "hare". This means that he not only has to be physically fast, but also to think quickly and calculate possible escape routes in order to catch the game. That means a positive effort. The senses are challenged and your dog is happy about this task. As a reward, the dog should be allowed to grab the prey at the end.
The "bunny" is a dummy. The movement counts as flight and is the trigger to pursue the prey.
In cooperation with the WRV Düsseldorf we offer appointments for training.
There are not very many training opportunities for this sport.
We are pleased to offer the friends of greyhound sports a training opportunity.
The distance is currently about 400 m.
