4-H and Youth Classes

The Greater Dog is proud to support 4-H and youth programs throughout the state.  Our instructors volunteer with the Washington County 4-H Dog Project and we offer discounted Sport/Enrichment classes to all 4-H Dog Project members!  Below are some activities that are hosted at our facility.
Leash League 4-H Club

Our club has members of all ages, ranging from clover buds (2nd grade and younger) to youth who will soon be graduating from the program. Our members participate in a variety of projects, including but not limited to dog, poultry, rabbit, llama, goat, fine arts, fashion review, and performing arts.

Every other month, we alternate between formal and "informal" meetings. In our "informal" meetings, we participate in philanthropies and fun activities. In the past, we have helped with therapy dog testing, learned about wildlife at nature centers, watched movies, played 4-H Jeopardy, and spectated dog shows. We encourage interested youth to come in and spectate our meetings to see if we are the right fit!

We meet on the first Sunday of every month at The Greater Dog in Stillwater, from 4:00 PM - 5:30 PM.
