Reality TV Goes to the Dogs

The latest thing in reality TV is Animal Planets’ extreme dog training program.  The working title for the show is “Fetch me a beer.”  Which of course is one of the tricks that a dog is being trained to perform. Zak George, the famous YouTube dog trainer, has been working with a film crew preparing the new Animal Planet show.  Some of the tricks he has been teaching the dogs are amazing, such as riding a bike.  Others are quirky, such as helping a human get a date.  But you can be sure they will all be surprising.

George boasts that teaching the dogs is easy, it is the people who are more challenging – “There’s nothing we can’t attempt to teach a dog,” he says.

Expect the show to premiere in October.
