Another option for Dog Care and Training
members is to participate in the Kansas 4-H Standard of Excellence
Achievement Level Recognition Program. The purpose of this program is to
create knowledgeable dog owners and members in dog care, safety,
management and training skills.
In
order to receive this recognition, a member must complete leadership
activities, pass written knowledge tests and receive a blue or purple
ribbon under two certified 4-H judges in various levels of Showmanship,
Obedience or Agility (to prove their training and showing skills).
Dog Care and Training members without dogs
may wish to participate in quiz bowls, dog conferences and other
activities not requiring dog ownership. These members may participate in
the achievement recognition by completing leadership activities and
passing the knowledge test.
