Bunny school

Even the best-dressed dogs need training. Looks will only get a dog so far; then it’s good manners that count. Canine obedience classes build confidence, improve communication, and help dogs learn to be better canine good citizens of their communities. K-9 Search One canine obedience classes begin at 9 a.m. on Saturday, March 14, at the Holly Springs Fire Department. Proceeds from the class benefit independent search and rescue canine teams that work cooperatively to serve the Marshall County area. For more information contact Judy Otto at 662-252-1004.
