Ballo, Bella, Clio, Kola, Luna and Pilot are the stars of this video from the free Recall Clinic with City Dog Training on Sunday afternoon, May 2, at the Ed Leathers Community Park.

In canine obedience training the ability to call your dog and get an immediate response at all times is known as "recall". A reliable recall could save your dog's life and, as demonstrated here, helps to protect other people, including small children.

Every six weeks or so, City Dog Training has been offering free instruction to teach dog owners how to train their dogs to come when called in parks around the City including Nunziato Field, Perry Park and Powder House Park. The clinics are co-sponsored by the City of Somerville and the Somerville Youth and Recreation Commission.
