A coursing lure has to do more than go fast. It has to corner clean, hold its line through every pulley and keep just ahead of a hound at full stretch — run after run, course after course. That's what these machines are engineered for.

Lure coursing is a chase across an open field. A white plastic lure on a line races around a course of pulleys — zig-zagging, doubling back, testing speed and agility the way real prey would. Dogs follow it by sight, flat-out. There are two ways to take part in AKC events:
Competitive. Hounds run in trios — each in a pink, yellow or blue blanket — over a course of , and judges score every run.
Up to 50 points per judge.
Non-competitive and pass/fail. Any dog — purebred or mixed — runs alone and just has to complete the course, running not walking, inside the time limit.
Pick a course and drag the time — see the average speed, and whether it beats the CAT time limit.
Only for trials. AKC lure coursing trials are for sighthound breeds — Whippets, Greyhounds, Salukis, Borzoi, Afghans, Ridgebacks and more. Every other dog, including mixed breeds, can run the Coursing Ability Test and earn CA, CAA and CAX titles.
A white plastic lure on a line, held slightly above the ground. A lure machine drives the line around pulleys staked across the field, so the lure turns and changes direction like live prey. A machine that corners cleanly and holds a steady speed is what makes a fair, safe course — that's our job.
Sighthounds usually need very little — the chase is instinct. Early socialisation with other dogs and basic obedience help, especially for running in trios. For other breeds, a few sessions on a home course build drive, fitness and confidence on the turns.
Contact a local AKC coursing club or search AKC events online. Many clubs run Coursing Ability Tests alongside trials, so it's an easy first outing for any dog.

Every Renegade loop machine runs a continuous lure around field pulleys. What changes is how far, how many turns and how long it keeps going. Pick a machine to see the course it can run.

Lay out your course on a field drawn to scale. It's checked against the published specs of every Renegade machine, so you can see what fits, what doesn't and why — with the pulleys and the price.
It's a guide from the published figures, not a site survey. Ground, fencing, line height and your dogs all matter, so we'll confirm the system when we quote. Prices in AUD, before freight.

Clubs need a system that lays out a full championship course and runs it all day. Owners and trainers need a course they can set up at home and run every week.
The LS-600 ALPHA and LS-1200 APEX lay out full trial and CAT courses — long straights, tight turns, up to 20 pulleys — and keep running from the first trio to the last.
The LS-200 DELTA and LS-400 BETA bring a real coursing layout to the backyard, paddock or training field — so turns, follow and fitness get practised every week, not just on trial day.
A coursing lure has to change direction at speed without slack, stalls or surges — every turn, every run. Here's what that looks like on a real field.
