Puppies and Kids are always fun to watch

These are certainly more than puppies and certainly more than kids and I commend all these young people for getting involved in 4H. Thanks to Charman Alm for passing along this information.

Lakeland Scruffy Puppies 4-H Club: 2010 – 2011 Summary

It has been a fun year to be a member of Scruffy Puppies! The year started off with a focus on agility training as we worked outside with our dogs in a riding arena. Our dogs learned how to go through tunnels, up and over A-frames, and how to polebend. As the weather grew colder we changed to indoor meetings and began our fundraiser selling “Cookie Crumbles” products. We learned the difference between showing our dog in a Showmanship class verses an Obedience class. While making homemade dog cookies, we were taught about nutrition. Members competed in 4-H’s mandatory communication event with a variety of interesting speeches and one presentation.

Cesar Millan (the Dog Whisperer

During the past year, our club also went on three outings. We enjoyed a wonderful informative tour of the Bonnyville Vet Clinic thanks to Dr. Benoit and his beautiful dog Maggie. We all visited the seniors at Extendicare and introduced our dogs and had them show their tricks. We went to the Cesar Millan (dog whisperer) Concert in Edmonton.

Club members would like to thank Georgena Graham and Lindsay Graham for all their work with the club again this year.  We invite everyone to come watch us and meet our dogs at the club’s year end Achievement Day Show on Saturday, May 7, 2011. Beginning at 10 am there will be classes in Obedience, Showmanship, Agility and more! We will be at the Ardmore School parking lot in Ardmore.
