Did anyone watch this show last week? It's on again tonight. It's basically a reality/gameshow for dogs and their owners. Kinda corny and no bull breeds were repped, but I couldn't help getting into it. It's silly fun (although I worry about the stress factor for the dogs, but they all seem somewhat savvy), and I like the fact that the panel judges don't tolerate anything but positive training/handling (one of the judges is Animal Planet's Victoria Stillwell and she reprimanded someone who pushed their dog into a sit; To paraphrase, she said, "I don't want to see anyone manhandling their dogs!")

I honestly thought I saw a pit bull on one of the commercials/previews. That is really disappointing that there aren't any bully breeds. I don't watch much tv, but if I can maybe I will try to watch tonight.

I normally teach classes on Thursday night so will mostly miss it, but just so happens last week and tonight I don't have class, so I'll get to check it out.

This is the one Wallce got rejected from, I think.
It's way stupid. I'm hooked.

I saw most of it. I don't get home until after 8 from the shelter and I keep forgetting to tivo it. The Giant Schnauzer went home. His mom was so aggravating in how she was trying to train her. I think she was making an attempt to copy Victoria Stillwell without any positive reinforcement. I'm sure Bella Starlet or the mini schnauzer will be the next to go but after that I like most of the people and how they interact with their dogs. The older guy with Star (the brittany) are so endearing.
Funny how I can remember the dogs names but not the people!!

I felt so bad for the Giant in the first episode. That woman was so shrill and just mean! Dog was totally stressed out by her.
I like the old guy and Star, too! Endearing is a good word!

Has anyone been watching? I forgot all about this, and watched it again last night. I think this show is SO cute and fun and funny, although I worry that sometimes the dogs get too stressed. Last night's ep. with the positive vs aversive training argument was great. And the challenge with the Golden puppies was just too adorable!
