Five Tips for Success in 4-H

1) Get rid of your food bowl. Your dog gets all meals through training or in food toys like the "Kibble Nibble" or "Tug a Jug."

2) Practice every day. Short training sessions are important (2-3 minutes at a time, or less!).

3) Be Prepared. Know what you have to do for your level of competition. Know the rules.

4) Go to meetings and practices. Work hard and be attentive in class. Ask questions and help each other.

5) Each session, work on only one skill. It is very important to practice one thing lots of time to make the changes happen in your dog's brain. A few repetitions is not sufficient.

Obedience is great!
