4-H’ers can participate in the 4-H Dog Program at the county, state, and national level. At the county level, 4-H’ers can join a 4-H Dog Club. The activities in these clubs vary from club to club, but often consist of training in the three major disciplines (agility, showmanship, and obedience), therapy dog work, and other dog-related activities. Additionally, many counties have county dog shows where 4-Hers and their dogs can show off their skills and practice for the State Fair Dog Show. Please contact the 4-H Extension Agent in your county for more information on dog clubs and dog shows in your area. If there’s not a club in your area, start your own! Contact the state dog program coordinator for more information.
The two major state dog program events are Dog Camp, held in May every year, and the State 4-H Dog Show, held in August. Please click on the links below for more information. At the national level, 4-H’ers can complete the dog project books, available at www.n4hccs.org/dog.
