Volunteer 4-H Leaders provide training classes for 4-H members and their dogs. Both purebred and mixed breed dogs are welcome.
Participation in the 4-H Dog Project gives members the opportunity to train their dogs, as well as gain confidence by achieving their goals and learn about good sportsmanship.
4-H members will develop essential dog project skills such as selecting a dog; investigating breeds; appreciating dogs’ places and roles in society; practicing grooming, showing and training; caring for dogs; and exploring dog-related careers and activities. Some of the training will not only prepare members and their dogs for 4-H competition, they will also be ready to earn some of the American Kennel Club’s nationally recognized awards and titles.
***Training is positive based using a clicker and reward***
Youths must sign up through Shasta County 4H to be a part of this group.
