Obedience
Members teach their dogs basic obedience skills to help them
become better canine citizens. Their dogs learn to obey commands such as Heel, Sit,
Stay, Down, and Come. These commands are combined and built on as the 4-H member and
dog advance to higher levels.
Showmanship
In showmanship, it is the member who is judged and not the dog.
Points are earned for grooming, basic dog knowledge, and the relationship between
the 4-Her and their dog.
County Fair
The Shelby County Fair 4-H Dog Show is where the member and dog
are put to the test. This is the competition our club works toward all year.
Other Activities
The Paw Prints 4-H Club also contributes time to other activities
such as 4-H Dog Show Fun Matches, Fundraisers, and Community Service.
