SARA FRANSON writes: [T]he DRILL TEAM from what I could gather, are the Airedales and their owners/handlers all in one ring doing basic obedience. There were two lines on opposite sides. The announcer would give the step and the owners/handlers would tell the dog to stay, for example, and then the owners/handlers would walk away or around in a circle . . . they had some dogs go in circles, some jump over people lying down, some would call their dogs and tell them to go into a down in the middle of the recall . . . all of this was done to music. It was quite entertaining the highlight of the show for ME! The DRILL TEAM
