Well its basically a mini circle track with only about depending on size 30ft of running rail and a single starting box and is pushed around by hand it is used to educate young pups and also to refresh some race dogs hope that helps :)

i have used one that had an arm on it like the finish on lures, thought it was great for the dogs, you could pull it to a dead stop or shake it about with no chance of hurting the dogs, the only way to go imo.
