​ Chase Ability  Program  Page

We tried Lure Coursing
or in our case for being a different breed other than a sight hound it is called
​CAP - Chase Ability Program

Just like a horse has an English or a Western Bridle or Saddles,
our dogs have ​different collars for different Events as well.

Trials #1 & #2

Our second weekend of CAP Trials was again with the first day raining LOL. Everyone was in good spirits because we are all out having a good time with our dogs!  Fraser River Heritage Park is a wonderful venue with a
quaint but delicious restaurant the Blackberry Kitchen. 
​ Lots of history in this beautiful Park.
Thank you Jen of Jena Photography, Mission, B.C. for these great photos! 
​ I love how the rain sparkles in these photos! 

A huge thank you to all that have helped capture our attempts on film! 
She needs that little bit more of the lure going in front of her
​ to set her focus on it!

 Thanksgiving Monday Turkey Trot
October 9th, 2017

Shimmer and I just finished 6 Rally Obedience Trials in three consecutive days
the day before in Chilliwack, B.C. however not wanting to miss out 
on a much needed practice we signed up for the fourth day
of the Thanksgiving weekend to attend the Turkey Trot! Thank you to all the volunteers that organize and manage these practices!​
​♥
So neat to have these photos to remember these wonderful times
​with our best little buddies!  ​♥
​Thank you to Pauline Ng for these great photos!  
A shame she slide on her side but once I redirect her
​she is off again ... for a bit anyways.

Trial #2

Another early morning up and at it, Shimmer and I head out to be greeted by a clearer day with no rain.  For our second Trial with only one practice of 300 yards, Shimmer gave it a good go. I had heard someone else say something about a dip so not sure if that is what changed "the course" for Shimmer or the fact the lure zipped a sharp turn or the other factor she had ventured far enough
​from her person which does keep some dogs from completing
the course as I was soon to find out. ;)
​ Needless to say we enjoyed the
weekend just the same. 
♥
​NOTE: Competitors are strongly advised to have previously attended racing practices with their dogs in order to have familiarized their dogs with the starting, lure chasing and catching procedures.

​Trail #1

​Up early which I can not say bright and early as for the darkness, out the door 
we go on a wet rainy day.  The rain was a wondrous welcoming not only for the drought and fire risks but also for the betterment of the course for the dogs.  Always something positive  :) 
 This new event sports a wonderful group of people all offering newbies
​ great help and tips!  Thank you to everyone there!

Practice

It had been a hard 3 weeks since I'd let my beautiful Shiraz go ... 
I decided I needed to get out with the others and had seen something about
Lure Coursing.  There was a practice just 8 minutes away so off I went with Shimmer!  Knowing nothing about this new event we did our first run at half the length of a course for a dog of Shimmers size. She ran the full 300 yards for her first attempt.  Off home we went and entered our first CAP Trial!!!
