Dover's Demonstration Team
The club has a team of 12 enthusiastic and trained volunteers who visit nursing homes,
schools, and various community events including the Royal Adelaide Show.
Our aim is to promote responsible dog ownership and to help the public, especially children,
learn to approach dogs safely. The dogs & handlers demonstrate a variety of obedience skills
and may even perform some tricks. The team make-up and routine performed may vary,
