Lotse

Ich denke, es ist jemand, der beim Hunderennen vor der Meute faehrt und mit einem Koeder motiviert.

Bin mir aber nicht sicher, ob das der Fachbegriff ist.

The official duties of a leadout include but are not limited to accepting the dogs from the owners for weigh-in, getting the dogs inspected by the paddock judge, then storing the dogs in individual containers until their assigned race was due. During the race the leadout removes the dog from it\'s container, weighs the dog, then prepares the dog for racing, placing the appropriate blanket and muzzle on it. The dog is then walked out to the starting box, placed in it, then, when the race is over, the lead-out catches the dog and returns it to the owner. This process is repeated until all the dogs are raced.
