GREENVILLE — The Greenville Area Dog Club will offer their obedience classes starting Jan. 5, 2021. Through the years, more classes have been added to meeting the growing interest in dog training, plus many people like the variety of classes available. The classes will be at the Dog Club training facility located at 940 Front Street in Greenville.

The classes being offered will include: Puppy (12 weeks to 6 months), and beginner obedience. For those who have completed the beginner class and wish to continue with their training, refresher obedience classes will be available. Rally obedience classes will be offered to those who have completed beginner or have some past training in classes.
