The 4‑H dog project is fun and fulfilling. Training a dog is a lifelong skill! The 4 on the Floor dog 4‑H club for youth ages 9–18 will resume on Monday, Jan. 5, 2026 at the Sandhills Global Event Center – 4‑H office located in South Hall. Meetings will be held every other Monday at 6:15 p.m. and last about an hour. Summer schedule (after May) to be determined. 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, as well as 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.
For more information or to RSVP, contact club leader John Croghan at 402-957-3651 by Dec. 25.
