Held in each year at the Tolland Agricultural Center, Tolland Connecticut, in early May. The UConn 4-H Dog Clinic is open to all registered 4-H Dog Project members 7 – 18 years of age and their registered 4-H project dog. Registered 4-H members from any state of New England may attend. Only one dog is allowed to attend per registered person; no dogs in season may attend. Youth members aged 12 and under MUST be accompanied either by a parent, guardian or leader/chaperone. If a number of youth are attending from one club, the club may provide one adult chaperone for every 4 youth ages 12 and under. All participants are expected to follow and adhere to the 4-H Code of Conduct, including participating in all activities and staying with your assigned groups throughout the day. The 4-H member is expected to control and handle their dog, at all times throughout the day. All dogs must be crate trained; crates must be brought to the event. Dogs that show aggression to other dogs or people or dogs that are uncontrollable will be asked to leave, and that person’s registration will be refunded. The event will be held outdoors; however, should there be inclement weather the event will take place in buildings on the Tolland Agricultural Center (TAC) grounds. Wear appropriate clothing for all weather possibilities.

Register early as sessions fill quickly. There is no guarantee on session assignment. Schedule subject to change. All participants, both youth and chaperones, must pay a non-refundable $15 each. Each youth MUST have a chaperone to supervise & support them. If a parent/guardian will not be accompanying a youth, the chaperone must have a 4-H Member Health Form in their possession signed by the youth’s parent/guardian. Due to the short lunch break, participants should bring a nut-free lunch.

Enrollment is limited to 35 participants and their dogs; early registration is encouraged.
