"The 4-H dog program breeds more than obedient dogs, it builds youth. While 4-H members learn to better control and train their dog, they are also building self-confidence, independence, and mastery. Opportunities within the 4-H Dog Program include Obedience, Showmanship, and Agility Trials." - Box Elder County 4-H Dog Club Paws for Applause
