Club Details
About
The Magpies Mackay and District Obedience Club (MMADOC) is a non-profit organisation dedicated to promoting responsible dog ownership.
Your membership with the club includes a social membership at Magpies Sporting Complex.
Our instructors all work on a voluntary basis and have trained dogs to at least the advanced class. 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.
We teach YOU to train YOUR dog. 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. Then you can truly say that you have ‘mastered’ your dog!
Members learn how to achieve an obedient dog which will heel beside them, come when called and stay when told. Training activities are available to suit all dogs of all ages and include OBEDIENCE, AGILITY, JUMPERS, RALLYO and TRACKING.
The Magpies Mackay and District Obedience Club is an affiliated club of Dogs Queensland (CCCQ). For more information on Dogs Queensland, you can visit their website. A full listing of Obedience Clubs affiliated with Dogs Queensland is also available from their website.
