For Judges, Leaders, Parents, Youth and Extension Staff:
- Dogs are our tools to build great young people.
- Training is a journey.
- Empowers youth to reach their full potential.
- This is about EDUCATION and teaching young people.
- Youth + Dog = TEAM
- Dog Shows are an opportunity for youth to showcase what they’ve learned about training and working with their dog – but the show is not the only result. What the young person has learned about their project area is important such as animal biology and science, care, behavior, careers, etc.
- It is not just about going to competitions or shows, it’s about having a better trained and better-behaved pet.
