i have read your post a couple of times and find some of your techniques very interesting and if you don't mind would like to ask you some questions to hopefully learn some more about them. in australia the few trainers i know all bring there dogs up in rectangular enclosures. is the only reason you use circular enclosures to teach them how to handle bends or do you also have some other reasons as to using circular enclosures instead of rectangular ones? also do the trees serve only for shade for your dogs or do they also serve another purpose? lastly are you located in australia or overseas?
again thank you very much for your post, you've got me very intrigued with your methods.
kindest regards,

Hi ,
Sorry i did send the last post twice !!!
I did lear about Greyhound in New Zealand but my vet and couples of trainers over there gave me some clue .
Circular pen ! The pups should never running stop , turn 180 deg and run again like in square pen , the best pups will hurt there shoulders and will stay lame at the racing age , if they don't brake down before .
The trees help the pups to watching in front and taking turn , turning out in group show them top run many dogs together .
You just need to turn them out in this kind of pen and trow them a rabbit skin once a month to inprint there scent memory and competition spirit .
You don't have to drag a lot . more risk to get hurt in drag .
I'm in Canada now , i'm a fan of Aussie line , i have 9 pups ready to go race in USA , I got invitation by a very good track there to trials my pups .

Cheers !
