Dog Project: Members care for and train their dog.
The objectives of the project are for members to:
-Acquire knowledge concerning the responsibilities of dog owner-ship.
-Learn basic dog care and management practices including feeding, care, handling, grooming, and fitting.
-Train the dog to obey and heel, establish basic obedience commands and thus become a more enjoyable member of the family.
-When a member has learned to train a dog in basic obedience, they may take such projects as “Raising a Dog,” “Dog and Litter,” “Retriever and Hunter, or “Stock Dog.”
The dog project provides the opportunity for urban boys and girls to have a live animal.
