@elbrant The first time I took Ibis lure coursing: I let go, and she ran straight to the lunch stand! It was in the opposite direction of the field.
I don't think she could figure out why a dog would run after an empty bag, when everyone knows, they're much more interesting when heavy!
Harness question
-
I have a beautiful B mix - he is 40 pounds and seems to be able to back out of just about any harness I have tried. I got him a Ruff Wear harness, and although he can't back out, the rear strap placement is a problem - it is very close to his privates and sometimes "catches" there. So - can anyone recommend a good harness that can't be backed out of with a back strap that sits nearer to his front? I looked at the Puppia harnesses, but I am not sure that they run large enough for him. Thanks in advance for any help!!!!!

We use this one for both our B's, maybe it's available in the US: http://www.animalking.nl/Nylon-Hondentuig-Mokka-Hamilton
It's by the German manufacturer Wolters.
We attach the leash on the chest, which makes them walk a lot more relaxed.
You can attach the other side of the leash on the back, giving you even more control. -
The link above looks very much like the ones that come from www.Whoadogwhoa.com
I know people that have used these on Basenjis and swear by them. The leash is attached on the chest….
I do not use these, but I have seen them on Basenjis and know people that do use them...
