Bonus Post for Dog Project 4-Her's: How To Train Your Dragon...I Mean, Dog!

4/1/2020

0 Comments

 
Project Discipline: Dog
​Ages: Ages 9 and up (may also need supervision depending on dog and child)

Difficulty level: Medium
Supplies: your dog, leash, treats, logs for tracking feeding and/or training
This post is for our 4-H members who have been in the dog project, or for those who are interested in learning more about it!  

Our Kodiak 4-H Dog Project Leaders would like to challenge you:

Our experience has been that dogs respect the “dog feeder” greatly.  Taking that into account, we'd like you to do a week of dog feeding and watering. Find a way to record what you've done, have a parent sign off, and at the end of the week, snap a picture and send it to kodiak4h@gmail.com.  To really make an impression on your dog, and develop a bond with your dog, we'd encourage you to continue this role even after the first week. 

​Use the log on the right or make your own!

Picture
Let's say you're already the "dog feeder" in your house and/or you'd like to focus more on training. Sounds like you're ready to practice some more advanced Obedience challenges.  Check out the choices below.  Create a log for your training sessions, and show us that you've completed 15 minutes of training at least 3x per week.  Submit your log (with parent signoff) each week to kodiak4h@gmail.com

Beginner Challenges

Long Sit
Long Down
Recall

Intermediate:

For those of you who are a bit more advanced, try these:

Heeling
Figure 8

Advanced: Ready to Rally!

What is Rally?  Rally (also referred to as Rally-O or Rally Obedience) is a sport in which the dog and handler complete a course that has been designed by the rally judge. The judge tells the handler to begin, and the dog and handler proceed at their own pace through a course of designated stations (10 - 20, depending on the level). Each of these stations has a sign providing instructions regarding the next skill that is to be performed.  Try this course at home!
