How many times have you seen your dog bolting outside, running as fast as he can after a squirrel or a windswept plastic bag or paper cup? He’s going after his “prey,” of course, and he’s doing exactly what sighthounds are supposed to do. They’re born and bred to chase their prey! Their natural inclination to hunt by sight, not smell, is literally in their DNA.

Flirt poles are inspired by the dog sport of lure coursing. A competitive sport for sighthound breeds, lure coursing, is where dogs chase a mechanically-operated lure of up to 1,000 yards. Flirt poles bring lure-coursing mainstream right into your backyard. Dogs of any size or breed can play with this fun toy at home.
