City Dog Training is offering a free clinic to teach your dog to come when called, Sunday afternoon, May 2, from 1:00 to 2:00 p.m. at Leathers Park on Walnut Street between Pearl Street and Medford Street. Dogs that are leashed (no retractable leads, please) licensed and who enjoy the company of other dogs are welcome.

In canine obedience training the ability to call your dog and get an immediate response at all times is known as "recall". At City Dog Training's recall clinics, dog owners learn to play the "Get it!" Game with their pets to teach them to in a fun and positive way to come when called.

This will be the fourth free Recall clinic offered by City Dog Training. The clinics are co-sponsored by the Somerville Dog Owner Group and the Somerville Recreation and Youth Department.

Please check citydogtraining.com for cancellation information in case of inclement weather.
