How to Select Your K9 System

How to Select Your K9 System

At Renegade, we don't just sell machines; we engineer solutions. We've designed two distinct product lines (LS-Series and DS-Series) to solve the two primary challenges in K9 training and sports.

This guide will help you determine the perfect system for your application.

Step 1: The First Question: Loop or Drag?

Before looking at any model, you must first identify your primary need.

A) Do you need a CONTINUOUS LOOP system?

Use Case: You run Fast CAT events, lure coursing, or complex, multi-turn courses in a fenced field. You need the lure to run in a full circuit.
Your Solution is the: LS-SERIES (Loop Systems)
Go to Step 2.

B) Do you need a STRAIGHT-LINE DRAG system?

Use Case: You are focused on straight-line "uptake" runs. This is ideal for K9 unit drive-building (using tugs), recall training, high-speed conditioning, or straight-track racing.
Your Solution is the: DS-SERIES (Drag Systems)
Go to Step 3.

Step 2: Choosing Your LS-SERIES (Loop System)

You've chosen a Loop System. Now, let's find the right model based on your professional needs.

Ask yourself: "What is my primary use?"

A) "I am a basic trainer, breeder, or individual that wants to have fun with my pet dog."

Your Need: You run 1-2 dogs at a time, on smaller courses, for basic training or conditioning.
Our Recommendation: LS-200 DELTA
Why: It's your gateway to professional loop training. It has the same 75 KPH speed and 500m remote as our pro models, with a 1-hour runtime that's perfect for individual sessions.

B) "I am a professional trainer running up to 10 dogs a session, or a greyhound trainer with a small team.

Your Need: You need a reliable, step-up machine that can handle multiple sessions without a break.
Our Recommendation: LS-400 BETA
Why: It has 4x the runtime (4 hours) of the DELTA and can handle more complex, 6-pulley courses up to 400m. It's the perfect tool for a professional offering paid training.

C) "I am a commercial operator, a Fast CAT club, or a large event host, or a greyhound trainer with a large team."

Your Need: Your #1 priority is all-day endurance and reliability. A dead machine costs you money and credibility.
Our Recommendation: LS-600 ALPHA
Why: This is your Commercial Workhorse. Its massive 10-hour runtime and 2-Year Commercial Warranty are purpose-built for non-stop, all-day club events.

D) "I need the absolute best. Fastest speeds, biggest courses."

Your Need: You host major, competitive lure coursing events, or you're training elite canine athletes (like Whippets or Greyhounds) on massive fields.
Our Recommendation: LS-1200 APEX
Why: It's the flagship. With a 125 KPH top speed and 1200m course capability, it is the most powerful, no-compromise loop machine you can buy.

Step 3: Choosing Your DS-SERIES (Drag System)

You've chosen a Drag System. Now, let's find the right model based on power, speed, and lure weight.

Ask yourself: "What is my primary training goal?"

A) "My goal is basic K9 drive-building, fitness, and recall."

Your Need: A reliable, fast, professional tool for a great price.
Our Recommendation: DS-75 K9 SPRINT
Why: It is a true professional tool, not a toy. It hits 75 KPH, has a 1KG lure capacity, and includes the 500m pro remote. It's the perfect solution for most K9 trainers.

B) "My goal is elite conditioning or K9 unit work with heavy tugs."

Your Need: You need more speed, more power, and the ability to pull a heavy lure without strain.
Our Recommendation: DS-100 (High-Speed K9)
Why: This is the specialist's choice. It hits 100 KPH and has a 2KG lure capacity, making it ideal for professional K9 units or greyhound trainers who use heavier lures for conditioning. It also has a 4-hour runtime.

C) "My goal is to train elite, high-speed athletes, no compromises."

Your Need: You require the fastest, most powerful machine on the market.
Our Recommendation: DS-150 PREDATOR
Why: It's the fastest drag machine in the world. With a 150 KPH top speed, 3KG lure capacity, and 12-hour runtime, it's the definitive tool for elite-level conditioning and a "no-compromise" solution.
