Learn how to help 4-H youth train their dog in obedience, rally, showmanship and agility - building skills to participate in the 4-H Dog Show.
This is for youth leaders of high school age and adult leaders who train others in local programs - not for youth or parents who want to experience more of the Minnesota 4-H Dog Project.
