This Project Record Book has been created specifically for 4-H members enrolled in the 4-H dog project. This is an optional activity and not meant to be a chore, instead, a way to help you learn about your project and help you stay motivated and goal centered: • Set goals for the project year and beyond; • Keep track of your accomplishments; • Provide a place to keep important records on your dog. You may choose to keep this in an electronic file or print each year’s activity and place it in a three-ring binder.
