Teach a Great Recall!

It will take approximately one year of regular, consistent training for most dogs to come when called at least 95% of the time. Does that sound like a lot of work? It is! But consider this: most dogs live ten or more years. If your dog comes when called for nine out of ten years, isn’t that worth it? Get off on the right paw with your recall training at this FREE workshop! You will learn simple, effective techniques and how to avoid common mistakes that can ruin your dog’s recall.

Join Behavior Specialist Mittsy Voiles of the Lake Mills Veterinary Clinic on Saturday, June 10th, as she offers half hour sessions from 10:00 am to 1:00 pm at the Jefferson County Dog Park. Come when you can and stay as long as you’d like to learn the right way to teach your dog to come when called.

Dogs must be people friendly, dog friendly, current on all vaccinations, and leashed with 4′ to 6′ non-retractable leash. A daily Dog Park permit or annual tag is required to bring your dog to the Jefferson County Dog Park. Registration forms are available at the park or online at http://www.jeffersoncountywi.gov/departments/departments_f-r/jefferson_county_dog_park.php.

The workshop is free to attend, but monetary donations or items from the shelter’s wish list would be greatly appreciated!

We’d love to know how many people are coming so we can plan accordingly. Please RSVP by phone at 920-674-2048, email at shelter@hsjc-wis.com, or click the “Going” button on the Facebook event page.

This is a free workshop sponsored by Pet Partners, a partnership between the Lake Mills Veterinary Clinic and the Humane Society of Jefferson County.
