Dog Obedience Training First Meeting March 20

By Edith Koeller

March 12, 2004

There have been some questions asked about dog obedience training for persons and their dogs that are not enrolled in the 4-H Dog Obedience project. This year training will be available to everyone in the county, young and old alike that is interested in teaching his or her dog basic leading techniques and overall obedience. Training will follow guidelines in the 4-H Dog Obedience manual, but only 4-H members will be required to fill in the worksheets. The time it takes to train a dog is well worth the effort. A well-behaved dog is almost always a welcome dog anywhere.

A planning meeting will be held at the KA Hall in Sheridan Lake, Saturday, March 20, at 9:30 a.m., to discuss training sessions over the next 4 months. No dogs need to be brought to this first meeting. If there is enough interest from all parts of the county, these sessions will be held in all areas. Teaching a dog traveling manners and working in different locations away from home is a plus.

For additional information, or to express interest in this experience but not being able to attend this first meeting, please call Edith at 729-3568.
