Instructors (Obedience and Agility) SAODC instructors are all volunteers, giving their time twice and even three times a week, because they feel they have gained so much from this club, or from dog obedience generally, that they want to give back something of value to the community in this way.    All have undertaken a course of training to make them eligible for the title of Instructor, and are all experienced dog handlers, many of whom have had great success in competition.      The Club has developed a defined syllabus for the five grades of Obedience training. All our instructors follow this syllabus. We hope you and your dog will complete this syllabus with us.
