During a Test the dog runs the course once without any dogs. Because safety is of the utmost importance, the C.A.T. takes in consideration the individual dog pursuing qualification and therefore has two different course length accommodate the type and size of the entrant. In either case, dogs will chase a lure made of plastic strips. Dogs Less Than 12 Tall & Flat Faced Dogs.
