Obedience and Training Clubs

A well-trained obedient dog makes a happy dog and owner. Dogs do not figure out basic obedience on their own - they need to be trained. Training your dog does not finish at basic obedience learned at puppy pre-school.  Dog obedience classes can lead into agility work and competitions and provide hours of fun dogs and owners alike.

Springfield District Veterinary Clinic recommends the following Training Clubs:

•      Happy Hounds at Springfield Lakes

  Run by SDVC Veterinary Nurse and Animal Behaviourist Susan O'Hare who uses positive re-inforcement. Offers a range of training from puppies to adults, home-visits and specific behavioural issues.
