4-H Dog Project

2026 Dog Project Meeting Times and Information

Initial training sessions begin: Wednesday, May 20th & 27th from 6:30-7:30 p.m. at Renzoni’s training building (N5991 Settlement Drive, Medford). Bring proof of vaccinations, treats, something to hold the treats (fanny pack), dog, leash, potty baggies. These lessons will be based on what the members attending want to work on most. These sessions are optional, but you and your dog need the training time in order to be successful at the Fair. Doing the least amounts results in the least amount of success. Taylor County 4-H Dog Project requires attendance of 6 sessions with the dog/handler intending to show the dog at the Fair.

Training Sessions at the Fairgrounds Swine/Sheep building at 5:45 p.m. start on June 10th and end on July 15th (Wednesday evenings.). Help with equipment set up and take down is always welcomed and part of the dog project. Agility from 6-6:30 p.m., Obedience from 6:40-7:00 p.m., and Showmanship from 7-7:15 p.m.
