2020 Kansas 4-H Dog Judges' Certification, Recertification and Project Leader Training
The Kansas 4-H Dog Care and Training Action Team and Kansas 4-H Youth Development are sponsoring a dog judges’ certification, re-certification, and project training at the Riley County Fairgrounds in Manhattan, KS, January 24 - 26. This event prepares judges and volunteer 4-H leaders on the standards of 4-H showmanship, agility, obedience, and rally obedience. The format allows for training in specific or all four phases. Judges may certify or re-certify in all phases or in specific phases.
To be certified as Kansas 4-H Dog Show judges, participants must pass a written quiz and judging exercise for each discipline (showmanship, agility, obedience, rally obedience) in which they wish to certify. These tests will be given after each section. If it has been five years or longer since you were certified, we strongly encourage you to re-certify.
Registration will go live on this page December 13. The registration deadline is January 13, 2020. Refunds will not be given after January 14, 2020. Participants must be present at the end of each phase to take the appropriate test. Anyone leaving early will not receive credit for completing each specific phase and/or all phases.
