What is a Slow Dane?

The challenge is called the 'Slow' Dane challenge, a tongue in cheek title for Danes who don't tend to be at the top of the most intelligent dog lists but are still more than capable if the work is put in. Breed is never an excuse for why a Great Dane can't reach a good level of obedience.

The Slow Dane Challenge is also open to Non-Danes who compete in a separate competition but with the same command/trick. We ask dogs who operate at a high level of obedience to not enter this competition as it is for Owners new to obedience and/or dogs that aren't super smarty pants!
