4-H dog programs teach youth how to properly care for and train their dogs. They have the opportunity to try new sports with their canine teammate like obedience and agility or show off their knowledge participating in Dog Skillathon.
Pet projects help 4-Hers learn responsibility in taking care of a cat, dog, fish, gerbil, hamster, guinea pig or other animal. Pet programs make animal science available to everyone.
Rabbits and Cavies are family friendly and are great programs for youth from any background to participate in. 4-Hers will learn the importance of record keeping, talking to the public about their animals, and genetics and animal behavior.
