I think they all have to have a "Simon" on them patterning after AI. Posted September 01, 2008 |
i wish my dog could do all that stuff that they do i have a 2 year old samoyed husky and shes so happy go luck that i cant teach her anything she needs to calm down!
Posted August 21, 2008
I am HORRIFIED at these poor dogs being treated like this. I will never watch this show again after seeing one of the dogs strapped up to a ZIP LINE and sent "flying". The contestants are pushy with their dogs and the dogs become confused, which infuriates the contestants even more. Who are the sponsors for this show so I can boycott them and send letters?
Posted August 13, 2008
I myself enjoy the show .Yes i believe some of the judges are a little tuff but thats what judges are. I think they need to chill some.
I commend those still on and the ones off the show for the job they and there dogs are doing. I'd wish my dog could do the thing there dogs do. Good luck to all.

The show is amazing -- I've never seen so much emotion on a reality show. How do I sign up for the next series? My dog, Coton & I would love to be on the show. We are Canadian. Does that make a difference?
