Welcome to the Metropolitan Dog Obedience Club!

Come along to Marchant Park, Corner of Gympie & Murphy Road, Chermside, Queensland and have fun training your dog to be a civilized and enjoyable member of your family and neighbourhood. We have trained volunteer instructors who will be able to help you with all of your problems. Contrary to popular belief, you do not need to have a pedigreed dog to compete in Obedience competitions and we recommend basic obedience for all Canine Companions.

Start Times

 Trialling Class- 7pm-7.45pm

Advanced Puppy Class- 8pm- 8.45pm

Class 1, 2 and 3- 8pm-8.45pm

 

Obedience & Advanced Puppy Intakes - 2012

If joining our ADVANCED PUPPY CLASS please read the information available under About the Club for these sessions. REMEMBER to bring along your puppy on the first night.  Puppy class intake is the first Monday of each month.


If joining our GENERAL OBEDIENCE CLASSES please read the information available under About the Club for these sessions. REMEMBER to leave your dog at home on the first night. New members will not be given a start date until they have attended our First Nighters information session.
Intake night for new members is every Monday night. Once all fees have been paid, you will receive your start date.

It's Raining Is Training On?
Normally training sessions and intakes are not cancelled due to rain. Marchant Park does not seem to get the same weather you may experience at home. In fact some members call the park a Weather Vortex as it can be raining across the road but be fine on the grounds. If it has been raining consistently all day or for the past few days training will be cancelled. While your instructors recommend training in all weather conditions, Warehouse Cricket Association must consider the upkeep of the grounds and a soggy paddock is very easy to damage. In drizzly weather you may need to wear your wet weather gear and remember to bring a towel to rub down your canine companion at the end of the night. Training will continue as normal. The exceptions to these rules are Puppy Class and First Night Information sessions as these are under cover.

If you want to know if general obedience training sessions have been cancelled call the club on 07 3359 9901. Where possible, cancellations will be posted in the Club Updates section, above.

Metropolitan Dog Obedience Club would like to thank our Patron, Councillor Fiona King, for her support in 2011 and her continued support in 2012.
