Pursue a positive community image by the promotion of all facets of the function and activities of the club. Magpies Mackay and District Obedience Club (MMADOC) is a non-profit organisation dedicated to promoting responsible dog ownership. If you have a puppy or dog you wish to train, then come and join us on Monday evenings at our grounds at the Magpies Sporting Club, Glenella Road, Glenella. You
r membership with the club includes a social membership at Magpies Sporting Club and regular updates to keep you up with what is happening in the club. Our instructors all work on a voluntary basis and have trained dogs. Individual problems can be discussed with your instructor or one of our senior instructors before or after classes. Your instructor may not have all of the answers, but collectively, the instructor team has many of the answers. Your instructor will show you how to train your dog. It is not their role to teach your dog, as you would not then have the skills to handle or control your pet away from your instructor. It is important to remember that first, your dog learns to learn from you, and the respect and rapport develops as your training expertise improves! This is when dog training gets exciting because you can then teach your dog almost anything. It is our wish for you to be a happy and proud dog owner made possible with obedience training and support you to train kindly but firmly and consistently
