The 4 On the Floor dog 4-H club for youth ages 9–18 will start on Monday, Jan. 4, 2021 at the Lancaster Event Center Fairgrounds – 4-H office located by Pavilion 3. Meetings will be held every Monday at 6:30 p.m. and last about an hour. Summer schedule (after May) to be determined.
The 4-H dog project is fun and fulfilling. Training a dog is a lifelong skill! Youth should be able to maintain general control of their dog and their dog should not show aggressive behaviors before joining this club. A training collar (also known as a choke chain) will be required and a 6-foot leather leash. All dogs must have updated vaccination records and a copy must be provided to the club leader.
The club will focus on obedience through May with a formal graduation ceremony at that time. In the summer months, obedience will be reinforced and reviewed with the addition of showmanship to prepare 4-H’ers for the Lancaster County Super Fair and potentially State Fair. If you are interested in joining this club, for more information or to RSVP, contact club leader John Croghan at 402-957-3651 by Dec. 25.
