Training enclosures are very important in exercising, starting our hounds, and for their own enrichment.
They are safe from the risk of roads, railroads, and other hazards.

I have participated in enclosures since 1988. They also provide opportunities for people who don't own land, or access is difficult to participate.
The existing facilities are well managed, however the very restrictive limits has cause us to lose them.
Not allowing for the transfer of licenses.
Despite the huge capital costs there are still people who want to build new facilities.
Also our existing enclosures are not widely distributed in the province. Houndsman are now going to Ohio, Michigan , Quebec and New York to have puppies trained. Doesn't make sense.
I would really appreciate the opportunity to train my hounds closer to home.
There is a vacant enclosure about 8 kilometers from my house. The owner died. I know have to travel 145 kilometers to run in another.
