Doggy Fun Zone uses a pulley system to pull a lure through a course with jumps, tires, chutes, tunnels and even an A-Frame. Dogs with no formal Agility training run it to chase the lure. You first walk the dog through the course and then see whether or not it will chase the lure. Once you're comfortable that the dog knows the course and will chase, then it's off to the races.

Are there safety concerns? Yes, there's the wire the lure is being pulled on and the pulleys themselves but the dogs seem to be able to figure it out pretty well and when Rowdy ran it several years ago, he avoided any issues with the pulley's on the A-Frame by simply hurdling it . Moxie's move was second best: one leap to the top of the frame and then one huge leap to try to land on the lure. For us, the chance to see whether this situation would freak her out or be fun for her was worth it. She LOVED it!!!!
