Education Program Offers

The City’s next six week Dog Obedience Training course will commence Saturday 20 February 2010. Please contact the City to place your name on the Waiting List for this course

Please Note: The course is only open to residents from the City of Sydney Council local government area and those residents of councils on the City’s border. The course is ongoing, running over six consecutive weeks and is open to dogs 5 months to ten years of age.

Pet ownership makes an enormous difference in people's lives, and parks where the public can gather with their pets draw people together, build community and break down isolation. The majority of pet owners are responsible, and these public education programs are an opportunity to learn more about companion animal ownership. The City is working to encourage responsible pet ownership and promote harmonious and equitable access to public parks for all residents.

Bookings

Places are limited. Contact the City of Sydney on 02 9265 9333 or by email at council@cityofsydney.nsw.gov.au to book in and secure your dog's place in the course.
