I don't know who I liked better the Bull Dog or the little rescue dog, the judge was holding. Really I like them all and it's just fun to see dogs interact. It's up against ' are you smarter than a 5th grader' so I don't know how it will do.

So how many of you think the right pair got voted off?

I didn't like Brandi (with Beacon) right off the bat, when she said she didn't like people touching her dog, that she was going to have a real problem. I mean really, you're around a bunch of dog lovers, you think they're not gonna want to touch your dog??? If I was around a bunch of dog lovers and they didn't want to touch my dog I would probably feel offended. I thought there was going to be a problem with the giant schnauzer, when he jumped up and started eating off the table and then he snapped at the jack russel. I thought okay here's a lady who can't control her dog, but he got better. I also didn't like the lady that kept telling her border collie to shut up either. I really like the pom with the red mohawk, he's too cute and the maltese is beautiful. The lady with the tatoo of her dog on her inner ankle is kinda out there, but she does a wonderful job of training her dog. Love the older man from Flint, TX, yes I do hope his dog is okay next week. I think the younger guy with the boxer is nice. I love Tillman the skateboarding bulldog!!

I do think the guy that won the first competition is going to be a great competitor, he may be the one to beat.

I think the show has potential. I did not like Brandy & Beacon and thought she deserved to go home. The guy that went home was just too hyper and I think it stressed his dog, like Victoria said.

Loved watching the dog tricks. And some of the dogs were really doing a good job. The poor guy from NY that had to stay all night with his dog in the dog house. That was the pitts but at least everyone pitched in and tried to make it better for him. I thought that was nice. That bulldog and the skate board was really good. I would have watched him for the biggest part of the night. And the little hula dancers were great. Can't wait for next week now.

I missed the first half of the show darn it! It was ok....I felt bad when they were being judged but some of the owners need to go home and let their dog stay! LOL

The one who was sent home was one of my top two - that one and the one telling her dog to shut up....they should have sent 2 home!

Izzy Princess - you are so right...the bull dog's owner does look like his dog- I said that to my hubby last night!

Love your Avitar FL TINK!!

Cant wait til next weeks show! Hopefully I see all of it!

I know! Now I can't wait for next week to find out if that dog is ok! My first instinct is that she got sprayed by a skunk or something. Her face looked wet when they showed her. Poor thing.

I don't know who I'm rooting for yet - that border collie looks really smart. I think the bulldog is super cute with his skateboard trick but I'm afraid it will get old real fast if that's all he can do.

Yorkiedaze · 07-11-2008, 12:07 PM

I loved that little Boston. Too bad it's owner was a bit too hyper on the show and scared his dog because that little guy would be a great contender. I'm not too crazy about how the BC barks all the time. It's just too early to really have an opinion yet, but all the dogs are doing a super job!!

crb · 07-31-2008, 11:29 AM

has this show turned into more about the owners instead???

I think someone here mentioned this before, but so far all dogs have been eliminated due to their owner not the dog themselves. Last night poor Tillman was booted off because his owner picked the wrong picture to submit, he hadn't done anything wrong. Last week, Elvis was booted off because his owner didn't let him off leash during the competition, yes Elvis had problems and probably needed to go but that is not the reason the judges said they were letting him go. And the week before that Kenji was voted off because they didn't like the way Elan treated him. I do think Kenji needed to go because he was uncontrollable sometimes, the very first day he jumped up on the table and jumped up and snapped at Elvis.

Now next week, they are doing some cheesy thing with dancing again. I keep watching it because I love seeing the dogs but this is not turning out to be what I thought it was going to be and will probably give up on it.

I guess the idea was for them to submit their best photo of their dog doing whatever they picked out of the bag - in his case it was "lazy" or whatever and the photo didn't really depict that. However, I do agree with you about this show. They kind of put the owners in a situation where they have to come up with something. How do you make a gentle dog snarl? I wouldn't have used the band on Kalina or Matty but then I would have lost anyway because without some sort of aid neither one of them could look fierce if their lives depended upon it. That was definately the hardest challenge.

yorkiesmiles · 07-31-2008, 11:52 AM

I just saw the last half hr or so. And I have missed at least one week, but Cynthia, I think you are exactly right.

This could have been so much better. I think the judges are bad, the format is bad, I don't agree with sending someone home -- this show could have been about working with your dog, creating relations - more teaching. It could have been a lot of things

I so agree with this, and I'm don't think it offers the average dog owner any help in training their dog, although it does give lots of examples of what not to do. The whole show is just one huge gimmick, but it does have it's moments and I do really love some of the contestants' relationships with their dogs.

I do feel kind of sorry for the one girl who seems to have a crush on someone who has a crush on someone else.

MyFairLacy · 07-31-2008, 02:35 PM

I REFUSE to watch this stupid show anymore...HATE the judges, especially Wendy Diamond and her bitchy attitude, it's all FAKE, and it's just a stupid show overall. I'm a member of a maltese forum and some of the members know Andrew's owner personally. They said the show is all FAKE. It's all staged and nothing real about it. Each dog/owner has two trainers, they are told what to do, told what to say, and they even casted it and staged it to look like there could be a love interest. The show is pathetic

Bring back GROOMER HAS IT!!

mscat · 07-31-2008, 04:10 PM

I did not know anything about this show.... But, I really liked groomer Has It. I cried when Artist won

I guess this new show is not all that good. Can't wait until the next season of Groomer has it

luckylady · 07-31-2008, 04:21 PM
