Dog Project Information Night

Are you currently enrolled in the Dog Project or interested in learning more about it? Join us for an Introduction to the Dog workshop and learn some ways to work with your dog over the holiday break.

This workshop will be held on Monday, December 13 at 6:00 p.m. at the McKee Building at The Ranch.

This workshop is relevant for all dog project members but would be most useful to members in their 1st–3rd years in the project and those considering joining the dog project. You don’t need to be currently enrolled in 4-H to attend—come join us to learn more!

A lot is changing in the Larimer County 4-H Dog project this year and we are excited to share more about that at this workshop.

At these workshops, we will review the dog project, important dates, expectations for members and parents, and so much more! We’ll also learn about how to communicate and work with your dog to prepare you for success in the coming year.No dogs should be brought to these initial workshops. We will begin inviting you to bring your dogs in January. Feel free to bring a photo of your dog to share though!
