The course is now ready to go.  Once again I had to draw in the string for you to see.  The line coming from the bottom is the return end.  It goes around the right hand pulley, around the motor's pulley and back out again.  The pulley on the left is a hold-down pulley that forces the line back down to ground level.  It's wide enough that even piece of fabric or fur can be used as a lure.  Some dogs don't react well to plastic, either because of the noise, or it's just not real enough.  The lure we are using here is a piece of black "fur" from the fabric store (although we recently switched to real rabbit fur).  We usually use white as it shows up better for us and for small dogs.  The other circle is yet another stuffed animal wanting to try out for the job of official lure.

Jack the Malamute gives the course a test run while MacEnzie waits for her turn.  Notice that both dogs couldn't care less about the stuffed penguin that's still managed to stay on the course.  You can just see the line, and lure (now changed to white) in front of Jack.
