i am a first time trainer and i use marums my self and i find it to be a nice track my dogs are runing 20 25 there and 7 13 first split over 345 so i am happy with them as they both were giveaways so i am still learning the ropes of the trade and taking it day by day. i now have to do some box work with one as she is sittin in the box and missed the start at the melton picinc meeting by 4 lengths. so anyway i do suggest if u ahve heard story about marums go adn see for ur self as i heard storys my self but i find it to be a nice soft track and there is veiwing box so your dog can watch other sogs go around it a nice place to trail.
