Lure Chasing

What is Lure Chasing All About? Try your paw at lure chasing- the most fun your dog can have with a plastic bag! Lure chasing is a fast-pased chase sport. Dogs run after a "bunny" lure (a white or blue plastic bag) that is attached to a line and operated on a pulley system. They run in an open field and run as fast or slow as they want. This sport was developed for sight hounds, but many dogs love the thrill of the chase. If your dog loves to chase things, they will LOVE lure chasing! And even if you think they won't, you might be very suprised when your dog goes nuts for the lure! Exactly how does it work The simple answer is that we take a loop of string,stretch it out over a field on pulleys,attach a motor to make it move,and tie a plastic bag to the line. Start the motor and you have "Caffeine for Dogs". There are no special skills or training required to start your dog in lure chasing, but your dog must be in good physical condition because this is a demanding sport. Even though we emphasize Fun, we emphasize safety even more. Therefore, we will inspect dogs before they can run and if we think it is not safe for the dog to run, they won't run. We ask that you warm up your dog before running and cool the dog down after. This can be a simple five minute walk on leash before and after.
