Shelton Dog Park Update

Hello everyone,  Just a few updates on happenings at the Shelton Dog Park.

• The Pug Party has resumed and meets each Saturday from 11 a.m. to 12 p.m. in the small dog park.  Pugs and other pug-size dogs are welcome to come along and socialize - and to bring their human companions, who can do the same!
• The next Learn to Speak Dog Workshop will be held Sunday, August 28th at 2 p.m. in the large dog park.  Come along for this great workshop, facilitated by certified animal trainer Peg Demaine, of Training for the Polite Pooch.  Peg will help you to understand what your dog is saying with his body language and vocalizations.
• The Friends of Shelton Dog Park have an information table at the Concerts on the Huntington Green each Wednesday at 7:00 p.m.  Bring your family (human and canine) along to meet us and to listen to some great music!  The Friends is offering face painting for the kids, as well!
• The next Work Party will be held Saturday, August 20th from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m.  Volunteers are needed to help us maintain and improve the park.  At this work party, we will be spreading mulch, gardening, cleaning and improving the memorial bricks and more.   Tools needed to make this work party a success include:  rakes, shovels and a wheelbarrow.
• The next Friends meeting will be held on Thursday, August 18th at 7:00 p.m. at the Shelton Rec Center.  Please join us as we discuss current and future plans.
