Eight dogs and their handlers side by side all moving in a line towards you. The line stops and all the dogs sit at the same time. Then one by one each dog in it's turn lays down. After the last dog has lain down the first two stand up, then the next two, then the next two, then the last two. The handlers leave their dogs on a stand stay and go stand behind them. The handlers wave. The dogs bow.

That's what we do.

Why???????
Because we can. Because we have done the training that makes our dogs full participatory members of not only our families, but welcome member of the general public. We can take our dogs with full confidence to any place that dogs are welcome, and we do. Parks,  public events, schools, nursing homes and hospitals. You name it and we'll be there.

 We are not super hero trainers. Our dogs are not extra smart (PLEASE don't tell them I said that!!!!!!) We're just folks like every one else who love our dogs. The difference is that because of obedience training our dogs are able to fully participate in all of our life activities. The bonding that we have with our dogs goes well beyond any of our expectations and we would love to have others experience the same joy that we do. More importantly we would love for their dogs to experience the joy of going....to the park, to the lake, to anywhere their love human is going.

  The main purpose of the Arizona Great Dane Drill Team has never been about the Danes. It has been, and always will be, about educating  the public about the benefits of obedience training. If only one person who sees us perform enrolls their dog in an obedience class or goes to the library and checks out a book on basic training then we have succeeded in our goal.
