Reality Shows Going To The Dogs

With the television landscape littered with one reality show after another, we’ve got two more with dogs coming out. We already had Animal Planet’s “Pet Star” but that was for any pet. Next month on CBS the first specifically for dogs is called “Greatest American Dog” where 12 dogs & their owners compete for $250,000 for the title. This one sees how well the owners can train their dogs. The premise is the same as practically all competition based reality shows - compete, judges comment, viewers vote, elimination. Watch video of all 12 contestants here…

The other reality show about to go into production is out to find the “Baddest Dog In America.” This one centers around a British female animal psychologist who will perform the bad dog intervention, coming in to the owners homes, diagnosing the bad behavior – of the pet and its owners – then dispensing advice. Sound like a British “Dog Whisperer” to me. Look for it on your cable channel.
