Events

This 4-week series is a great opportunity for those interested in showing their dogs at the Broome County Fair. We encourage youth to attend all 4 sessions, since each week will build on the skills learned the week before.

Each week the hands-on training sessions, led by Kara Swartwood of the SusqueNango Kennel Club, will focus on a different skill set needed for dog show handling. Participants will need a show lead, training treats, and appropriate footwear to run in. Members should bring their own dog for this program.*

June 4th - Show Leads; Gaiting Patterns
June 11th - Grooming; Individual Exams
June 18th - What to Wear; Free Stacking
June 25th - Showing in 4-H; Putting It All Together
Location: Broome County Fairgrounds, Whitney Point, NY

Time: 5:30pm-7:30pm

Who: Broome County 4-H Members

*All dogs attending need to have the dog project paperwork submitted to the 4-H office, including a copy of a current rabies certificate.
