Dunn County 4-H Volunteer

Deciding to show the farm dog in 3rd grade, was the spark which started a life-long love of dogs for Sandy Miller. For nearly 40 years, Sandy has provided leadership to the Dunn County 4-H Dog Project. She has developed this project into a multidimensional experience
which encourages leadership in the young participants and their dogs.

Under her leadership the traditional Obedience and Showmanship Training expanded to include Rally, Agility, and Puppy Manners classes. Statewide she has offered a variety of trainings on the care of your dog and the world of dog sports. Over 1,300 youth have participated in the Dunn County 4-H Dog Project, but she doesn’t let county borders limit her. Her commitment to serving her community drives her to never miss an opportunity to teach and have fun. Sandy brings in many outside resources to enrich the program with new viewpoints, techniques and knowledge by actively participating in a variety of events herself, including Freestyle Dance and Scent Work.

Sandy is a well-recognized and respected Judge at 4-H Dog Shows throughout Wisconsin, and held an active role in the State 4-H Dog Project Committee for over 30 years. Sandy served as Show Chairman when Dunn County hosted the State 4-H Dog Show.
She loves to see the youth grow in their confidence and knowledge – and then they begin to take on leadership roles themselves. Sandy shows the value of adult youth partnerships in all her work with 4-H.
