Submitted News
LEWISTOWN University of Illinois Extension in Fulton County will offer a Dog Obedience School for both youth and adult owners and their dogs.
The sessions will begin June 2, 6:30 p.m. at the Fulton County Fairgrounds in Lewistown. The four sessions will be instructed by Danette Phelps, and will be held June 2, 9, 16, and 23. Masks are required for all participants and spectators present.
A registration fee ($25 for youth 8-18, $50 for adults) will cover the four weeks of training. To participate, you must register with the Extension Office in Lewistown by June 1.
Call 547-3711 to receive a registration form, or stop by their office in the Farm Bureau Building, at the junction of Routes 97 and 100, on the north edge of Lewistown. The form and information can also be found on the office website, https://extension.illinois.edu/sites/default/files/fulton dog obedience 2021.pdf
Group training is especially useful for dogs that otherwise have little contact with other dogs. dpa
A well-educated dog makes life much easier – no more tugging on the leash or snarling at other dogs. Dogs can also be stressed if they don’t have set boundaries and know what is expected of them.
That’s why many dog lovers choose to get professional training for their pets.
Generally, dog training school is about learning to understand your dog, interpreting its behaviour and reacting in an appropriate way by giving the right signals.
“It makes sense not to pick the first available school but to have a look around, ” says Melanie Schneider, trainer and owner of a dog training school in Herten, Germany.
