Re: Lure Coursing
Here is their website. If you find out more places LET ME KNOW!!!!! Belle wants to chase a bag around a field!

They do have an "All Hounds Day" and if you know someone with a hound you can come play too. I need to meet someone with a hound OR I could put longer ears on Belle.

Re: Lure Coursing
I'd also love to find a place close to Ann Arbor that does terrier racing. They sometimes have it at the Earthdog practice we go to, but it's over an hour's drive away from us ;-(

I bet with a small motor, car battery, some plastic pulleys and a little cable I could come up with something... Yeah, like I need another project. Rockysmom, why don't you stop me from thinking out loud?
Couldn't you just spend about $100 and get a quick radio controlled car?

I actually know the owner in a previous life (ok my days with horses) she does email me...sometimes. I will post if I hear anything.

Any chance you could convince her to build a set of Earthdog tunnels, too? ;-)

Belle has no interest in that. She is OBSESSIVE about "lures". When we were at Mutt Strutt, they had a generator for power, and someone had probably dropped a bag they had in their pocket for poo. Belle saw the bag and heard the generator and went NUTS!!!! At one of our agility trials recently we were set up not too far from the ring. Some one had set a bag of necessary stuff just outside the ring, in front of where we were crated. Belle saw the bag and started throwing a fit. I was worried she would not focus in the ring (she was fine). This dog, why can't she be that obsessive with dock jumping She does get that way when she first walks into an agility venue. She sees the course and goes FREAKIN NUTS. In her defense though, she has gotten REALLY excited a couple times when she has seen the pool and dock. I would like it if when she gets like that I could get her on the dock right at that moment! It has not worked out and by the time we can get to the dock her moment has passed. She really can be a lab!

Kel BELIEVE me that is what Art has been trying to figure out! We tried her "chase it"...that didn't work. I will say she pretty much only jumps (when she jumps) for her bumper.
