DOG OBEDIENCEJoin us in one of our many dog obedience classes. Instructor Jennifer Schneider owns Pick of the Litter Dog Training, and is a certified Pet Dog Trainer. For more information visit pickofthelitterdogtraining.com.

All classes held at the Kent Memorial Park Building.

BASIC MANNERS We know that you are tired of your dog pulling on the leash, running off instead of coming to you, and jumping up on everyone. We have a plan to help you. Enroll in our results based, pain free, introductory dog training class, and your dog will learn to sit and stay, walk nicely on leash, come when you call, and lie down and relax. You will be shown how to use these behaviors in real life situations, with and without treats. Your dog will learn to socialize with other dogs calmly and sit to say hello to people. You will receive custom-ized solutions to help with the behavior problems you are having at home. The result will be a well trained dog that listens consistently, even when distracted by other things. For dogs 5 months of age and older.

PUPPY KINDERGARTEN Puppies are like sponges - they soak up everything around them and learn new things quickly. Take advantage of this time by getting your puppy into puppy class right away. Your puppy will play off leash with other puppies, get to meet lots of new people, explore safe agility equipment, and learn age appropriate obedience skills, such as sit, come, and walking without pulling. You will receive customized solutions to the problems you are having at home, such as nipping, potty training, jumping up, and chewing. For puppies 8 weeks to 5 months old (up to 6 months for small breed puppies).

Kent Parks works to remove barriers so that all residents have an equal opportunity to enjoy the benefits of parks and recreation including:

• Individuals of all Ages and Genders • Individuals with Physical Disabilities • Members of Multicultural/Racial/Ethnic

Communities

• Individuals with Cognitive Disabilities

• Members of the LGBTQ Communities

• Members of Refugee/Immigrant Communities

• Individuals with Economic Challenges

WHY PARKS?

Most pet licenses cost $30…a lot less than a $125 fine. Fees for pet licensing do a lot of good:

Got a pet? Better get a license or face fines. It’s the law.

• Fund animal cruelty investigations and provide resources to address complaints about vicious animals.

• Treat injured and sick animals and find homes for them.

• Provide care for over 1,900 animals impounded each year at the Kent Animal Shelter.

• Roaming pets can get injured, but if they’re wearing license tags, they have a much better chance of being treated and reunited with you.

How can I engage my kids in a safe and fun outdoor summer activity?

Where can I experience Nature’s raw power without leaving town?

How can I stretch my yearly grocery budget?

performances in some of Kent’s most beautiful parks – for FREE! Visit KentArts.com or call 253-856-5050.

July 31 - Shaggy SweetThree members of this pop/rock band are from Kent. They are best friends, all performing together since they were in high school. They perform a mix of popular cover songs and originals.

August 7 - StonesyStonesy truly loves and lovingly recreates the music that is a soundtrack for not just a generation, but multiple generations. No wigs, no false British accents, just pure rock and roll, the way the Stones intended!

August 14 - Folsom PrismThis Tacoma-based, high-energy, Johnny Cash tribute band features an impressive line-up of artists with the passion to bring The Man in Black, for the moment, back to life.

August 21 - Petty DifferencesTimeless covers of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers tunes, as well as some songs from his friends in Fleetwood Mac. Petty Differences creates a one-of-a-kind euphoric sing-along experience.

August 28 - The Swingin’ Sixties OrchestraThis nine-piece “big band” plays the cool, swingin’ tunes of the sixties. Frank Sinatra, Bobby Darin, Dean Martin, Tom Jones, Ella Fitzgerald, Nancy Wilson, and more are all done with style and superb musicianship.

THURSDAYS AT THE LAKE July 11 - August 15 7:00 – 8:30 p.m.Lake Meridian Park, 14800 SE 272nd Street, Kent

July 11 - TBD

July 18 - Birch Pereira & the Gin JointsBorn out of a love of the early years of swing, Americana and rock ‘n ‘roll, Birch Pereira & the Gin Joints transport audiences to the time of speakeasies, honky-tonks and roadhouses.

July 25 - Aaron CrawfordThis Seattle-based Aaron Crawford is forging a new path: Paying respects to the roots, instrumentation, and song-writing of traditional country and blending those flavors with the Seattle grunge sound. Crawford approaches his music with a blue-collar mentality, writing, recording, and building a grassroots audience in the oft overlooked country scene of the great Northwest.

August 1 - Stacy Jones Band The Stacy Jones Band captivates audiences with high-energy rocking Blues. Stacy displays a vocal richness beyond her years and tops it off with harmonica, keyboards, and acoustic guitar. She is continually nominated for “Best of the Blues” awards, and won the 2018 “Best Band” award from the Washington Blues Society.

August 8 - Sundae + Mr. Goessl This vintage inspired show blends blues, swing, country, and latin sounds. Performing hits from the roaring 20’s to modern classics and originals this husband and wife duo is a little band with a big band sound. Mr. Goessl’s mesmerizing finger-style guitar dazzles and inspires while Sundae’s sultry vocal interpretations drip with charm and nostalgia.

August 15 - Mile TwelveThis fresh, hard-driving young band beautifully walks the line between original and traditional bluegrass. Fast gaining recognition for their strong instrumentals and beautiful harmonies, they move easily among bluegrass classics, original material, and interpretations of pop music classics.
