Step into the world of canine companionship with “Intro to Canines Series,” a specialized class tailored for 4-H youth and their four-legged friends. This program blends essential obedience training with the Canine Good Citizen (CGC) certification, offering a comprehensive approach to building a strong, respectful relationship between youths and their dogs.

Class Goals:

  1. Obedience Training: Develop foundational skills that ensure your dog responds reliably. Key commands include Sit, Stay, Come, Down, and Heel. Training focuses on positive reinforcement techniques to create a respectful and responsive canine partner.

    • Greeting a Stranger
    • Sitting Calmly for Petting
    • Proper Appearance and Grooming
    • Loose Leash Walking
    • Navigating Crowded Areas
    • Commands to Sit and Stay
