Did anyone else watch? I loved it. The dog eliminated because the owner messed up was so cute.

I was hoping for real reality. I don't like all the cutesy stuff. Not say I won't watch again, but -- thumbs down.

I watched it and i liked it! I don't think the cutesy dogs will go far, and there were quite a few that were just well trained and kewl dogs. I'm nervous for the older gentlemen and their dogs, but I like them both the best!

I enjoyed the show. What I don't like is dogs in clothes, but I'll ignore that to see what the dogs can do.

I liked the show. I didn't think the outdoor dog house was so bad. I thought it was sad when the dog that lost looked back at the others as he was walked away. All the dogs were good. I can't say the same for all the people.

Good show. The losing dog looked familiar. He also looked like his human friend.

I agreed with the judges 3 choices but not because of the dogs -- because of the humans. Did anyone see what was wrong with Star in the previews? I could not see what was going on. ETA: My cat did not appreciate all of the barking. lol

We had a few good giggles, and will watch again. The editors show a sense of humour with their placement of "dog reactions" to their humans' behaviour/comments.LOL Rosie, we missed what they were saying about Star, too.

Once, when my blood sugar went way low, my dog, Gideon seemed to know it was happening before hand. So I was very interested in hearing Star's story of saving her owner's wife. I hope nothing is wrong next week. Seemed like her owner was looking for her.

My daughter and I died laughing at the drama of the elimination when the guy slumped over like the air had been knocked out of him. I thought it was cute.

I enjoyed watching it too. Everything else has been done in 'reality TV', time to let the dogs in on it.

I enjoyed the show. The doggie musical chairs cracked me up. Such smart dogs to learn so quickly.

AH, if my Sadie were only still alive. She used to speak English, not because I tought her, but because I was such a negligent owner, she had to get my attention, so she taught herself. Now that was better than the skills I saw yesterday. My current dog, not so bright, but then she spent most of her life, since 10 months old, in a shelter, so had no training or good behavior lessons. I loved it when the border collie was late to jumping up to the "chair" and juped to an occupied one and sat down before the dog that was already there. Perhaps they should not have allowed border collies, they are way to easy to handle - the barking problem one had was probably because the owner shouted at her and she thought that was what was wanted. It was nice how the people helped the guy in the dog house to have furniture, and food, et al.

I can't watch shows like this, sadly. My dog barks and leaps at the TV whenever he sees land mammals -- even cartoon ones. We have tried to break him of this habit for ... oh, his whole life ... to no avail.

Yankee, have you ever watched the Dog Whisperer; or Victoria's show It's Me or The Dog? Both of them have very unique viewpoints and great cures for the tv attacking dog.

I thoroughly enjoyed the show. Especially loved the bulldog and Izzy was darling. Hope it doesn't come on at the same time as BB!!

Yes, I have, Karuuna. And while it "works" at that moment and in that moment, if in the next half hour he sees another animal, it's the same thing. Right now all I have to do is point my finger at him, and he will quiet down, but it's the initial burst of loud barking and charging the TV that is v jarring.

Lakecat, I would feel the same way you do. I am so sorry you lost your dog. I couldn't read "Chicken Soup for the Dog Lover's Soul until I got my new dog. She is not new any more, lol. She is 10 years old.

((( Lakecat ))) I'm using it as therapy since Buddy died. We still have two other pups to watch with too - a JRT and a beagle.

Oh, Karuuna, almost my favorite two breeds. I'm extremely partial to beagles. I was an only human child. I had a brother beagle during my childhood (my age 7 - 19). He was the sweetest. (Uno and my beagle shared the same birthday -- May 5, but 51 years apart.) Some years later I had a border terrier. Sorta like a JRT -- another English breed. She was sweet too.
