This program is open to all youth interested in dog obedience and grooming and handling.
A Dog Program Orientation will be held on Monday, March 31st at 6:30 P.M. at CCE Orange County Office located at 18 Seward Avenue in Middletown, NY. Attendance is mandatory for all participants and a parent/guardian. Please DO NOT bring your dogs to the orientation.
These classes are designed as a youth development experience for children, not as a place just to get your dog trained. Dogs need to be controlled by the youth.
The training classes will be held on Mondays at Cornell Cooperative Extension’s Education Center & 4-H Park located at 300 Finchville Turnpike in Otisville, beginning April 7th from 6:30-8:30 pm.
Youth must be 8 years old by 9/30/24 and not reached their 19th birthday prior to 1/1/25 and working with a dog of at least 6 months of age to participate. Dogs must be vaccinated for rabies. All dogs must be friendly and safely managed on a leash by youth. A copy of the dog’s vaccination records MUST be brought to the orientation with them.
