We encourage all of our Puppy Pre-School graduates to continue their education by enrolling in South Arundel's Dog Obedience Classes.  This series of six one hour-long classes is taught by Margaret Dowsett, a dog obedience instructor with over three decades of experience. Each series of classes includes positive, reward-based methods to improve your dog's every day behavior and prepare for advanced training. With a maximum of eight dogs per class, individual attention is assured.

Class sessions are held throughout the year at the Mayo Community Hall on six consecutive Wednesday evenings.  Participating pets must be at least 16 weeks of age and be current on Rabies, Distemper and Bordetella vaccinations.  Class size is limited - contact us to enroll your pet today!
