4-H program teaches young 4-H kids about dog care

Beth Einck and her dog Flags visited the De Sale Clover Club

Several kids in kindergarten through 3rd grade are participating in a "Dig Into the Dog Project." 

The program is part of the De Sales Clover Kids After-School Club and Clover Kids integrated into 4-H Community Clubs.  Clover Kids learned about dog health, dog safety, dog agility and dog breeds from Beth Einck and her dog Flags.  They made Origami Dogs, read the book "Just Dog", engaged in a musical tune and concluded the program with running an agility course.

De Sales Clover Kids Club members include Claire Becker, Paxton Brincks, Gabby Cline, Rachel Johnson, Jena Peters, Kennedi Vagts, Gracie Walz, Amber Witt, Tyler Fels, Isabella Goltz, Annie Hageman, Parker Kuennen, Landon Livingood, Jayden Timp, Jaden Brincks, Eli Higgins, Kelsey Higgins, Adeline Kipp, Hanna Vagts, Allison Hageman, Aiden Rothmeyer, Kelsey Timp, Karissa Wenthold, Ava Witt, Odessa Oyloe, Raymond Lienan, Earland Lienan and Gracyn Humpal.
