When schooling pups on the lure, how far infront of the dog do you think the lure should be? personally I think about 3 to 4 yards. Because if the lure is right under the pups nose, It could result in injuring the young dog. This happened to us today :rant:

personally id say about 10 to 12 yards as i think it makes the pups stretch more just my opinion

 

[sharon whincop]

Even with adult dogs the lure should be atleast 10yds. Hope your pup is ok.

Have to say,i agree with Fletch on this one,about 4 or 5 yds keeps them keen,and you dont realy want pups,stretching to their limits till they're ready,as this can also injure them.Again of course,its according to their age. ,,,Billy...

IMO if the lure was only 4 to 5 yards in front the dog wud be stuttering to catch it as if it was going to stop. I agree with sharon on this one even for adults 10 yards in front. i wud personally rather have it too far in front rather than too near JMO
