Project 7 – 4-H Dog Curriculum
The 4-H Program has created its own curriculum for its 4-H dog program. While each of the three levels has its own guidebook, this Pathfinder can be used in conjunction with the curriculum.
The learning objectives of each level and their corresponding Pathfinder area are listed below:
Level 1: Wags and Wiggles
“Youth learn basic skills for dog care and training. Activities include knowing breeds, selecting a dog, knowing the parts of a dog, keeping a dog healthy and groomed, training and much more.”
Pathfinder Areas – Breeds / Choosing / Nutrition (specifically the anatomy page) / Care / Training
Level 2: Canine Connection
“Youth explore more about dog health, nutrition, and care, genetic problems, population control, showmanship, training, ethics and budgeting.
Pathfinder Areas – Nutrition / Care / Training / Cost
Level 3: Leading the Pack
“Experienced youth investigate responsible breeding, diseases, caring for geriatric dogs, training, service dogs, dog roles and careers related to dogs. This guide provides youth with numerous leadership opportunities.”
