Ohio 4-H Teen Dog Experience
2008 Date and Location will be Announced Soon! Check the website!
 From the responsibility to complete our project and our
discussions (while eating animal crackers and stale dog treats...) we
had the idea to create a camp where 4-H youth could bring their
dogs to learn more hands-on skills, the latest information on many
dog-related subjects, and to help 4-H'ers get the most out of their
dog experience. Also we wanted to improve how members could
be helping others in their clubs to have a great experience too. We
realized that it would turn into a much bigger project than was
intended by the assignment, and our parents were skeptical. The
idea however, drew interest from some of the other 4-H'ers in
attendance, and we realized it very well could be possible. If you
are an Ohio 4-H dog member and interested please look through
our site and the information provided. Please contact us with any
questions or comments.
