On April 22 the board invites you to attend our public meeting! Dr. Rog, of Lakewood Animal Hospital, will be joining us to speak about a number of training topics and all the fun that Spring brings to pets and their owners! Just as the the "boys of summer" are warming up for the season ahead, so must dog owners prep pooches for warm weather. The Dr. will answer some important questions. When is it too early for “pee wee” puppies to play with other dogs? Why are vaccines, proper ID, and leashes important “equipment”? Is “physical conditioning” a good idea to get in shape for increased exercise? Why are hound hydration and nutrition important? What about summer grooming?

The meeting will begin at 6:00pm at the Lakewood Public Library Auditorium located at 15425 Detroit Avenue, Lakewood, Ohio 44107. Please arrive early to insure parking and seating. The auditorium is on the Lower Level. After Dr. Rog speaks, the board will hold a meeting to discuss developments at the park, upcoming events and answer questions and hear comments. We look forward to seeing old friends and meeting new friends as well. If you have a friend you would like to join, membership applications will be on hand at this meeting. The agenda can be found here.
