4-H Dog Project

Project Information:

Members must be enrolled in this project by January 1, 2026.

Learn how to train and show your dog. Activities include: Obedience, Rally, Showmanship, and Agility. The Kenosha County 4-H Dog Project is open to all 4-H members who are in the 4th grade or above and either own or have access to a dog. All dogs enrolled in the project must be at least six months of age by the time training begins in May.

Monthly Meetings: First-year members must attend three of the four monthly meetings in order to participate in the dog project. All other members must attend at least two of the four monthly meetings. These meetings are held January through April, and members do not bring their dogs to these meetings.

Weekly Training: We train every Tuesday from early May until the week before the fair in August. Members may not miss more than 3 training sessions, and all missed sessions must be made up with a leader or junior leader upon leader approval.

Vaccinations: 4-H guidelines require each dog in the project have proof of vaccinations and heartworm preventative. Each member will receive a current list of required vaccinations. This to ensure the safety of all members and their dogs. If your dog is unable to receive any of the vaccinations, we require a letter from the veterinarian. All dogs must have a copy of their current rabies certificate on file with the 4-H Dog Project. This is a state requirement.

Donations: Each member is required to obtain a minimum donation of $30.00. We encourage all donations to be turned in by the March meeting.
