Dogs

Who is always waiting for you with a friendly greeting when you come home? Who sits quietly with you while you do homework? Your friend, your companion… your dog. Your friend that will play fetch with you for hours on end or offer you comfort and quiet companionship when you need it. Your friend who gives you so much while asking very little in return.

Would you like to better understand what your dog may need? Maybe teach him better manors or new tricks? 4-H is the place to help you do just that! Our 4-H dog program helps members teach their dogs obedience, learn how to handle your dog on a leash or with other dogs. Does your dog love to run and jump? Teach them to run an agility course. Don’t forget the science stuff, learn what makes your dog tick and how to better care for him. Our 4-H dog program can do that and more!
