4-H Dog Clinic registration open!

The 4-H Dog Clinic will be June 16, 2012 from 10 AM to 2 PM. It will feature a local and well respected dog trainer, Deb Kreider, who will teach participants about grooming and handling, introduction to rally obedience, and tips for making the dog show a great experience. Fellow 4-Hers who attended March Dog madness will talk about dog first aid and tracking.  You will make a first aid pack for your dog to take home and with you on future adventures!

Please bring a buckle collar (like a belt buckle), a 6 foot leash, a water bowl, treats for your dog (cheese, hot dog suggested), and excrement bags.

We are accepting donations of old used dog toys and stuffed animals to give to the Adirondack Wildlife and Refuge Center for their rescued wolves, coyotes, and other animals.

Registration is due June 13, 2012. To register, please call the office (561-7450) or email Alexa.
