Sit. Heel. Beg. We have probably used these commands on our dogs for ages to get them to obey us. There is more to a command than 'heel' and training is a must.  Teaching a dog to 'heel' is different than teaching a dog to walk on a leash. Most people don't know that the 'heel' command should only be used short term like walking by people or awaiting a passing car.

Wyoming Service Dogs is hosting 3 FREE sessions to help make life easier on your dog and you!

The talks are about an hour long and start at 6 p.m. in the Sunflower Room at the Laramie County Library in Cheyenne. Again, these talks are FREE but you should leave your dog at home. The following meetings are for people only. 

  • Jan 5: "Come Rover Come" is set up to help you grab your dogs attention, especially when distractions like people and traffic are present.
  • Jan 12: "Grumpy Growlers" is geared to help you help your dog when they are distracted by other dogs and people.
  • Jan 26: "Impulse Control" will give you ideas on how to take your dogs hyperactivity and turn it into something constructive.

For more information, please call 307-634-3561 for any and all events at the library.
