This could be interesting, especially if we learn something.

A cat using a toilet? I need George to come to my house and give some lessons! The show will probably be a big hit.

the word extreme always worries me. who could be so lazy as to have their dog bring them a beer. this is ridicules. if a person is handicapped there are many more things more important to teach your dog to get for you then alcohol

I agree... and I personally don't like reality shows? There is nothing real in having a camera in your face 24/7? I would love to see how they train service dogs though.... I saw one who opened drawers - fetched socks and shoes and even took the socks off the person? My dog steals socks - but then runs around with them?

I think a lot of the animals love doing tricks. I have seen some, though, where the animals are trembling...especially the ones where they are high up in the air performing a stunt. I don't like see anything where an animal looks afraid.

I agree. Just because an animal can be taught or made to do something doesn't mean it is something they are comfortable doing or that they should be doing.

I agree. I think most dogs really like to learn new things. Just don't put their safety in jeopardy. I would like to see them teach a dog to do agility - from beginning to end. (I'm too lazy to try it.)

Great point. I have been teaching my dogs basic commands and now some beginning agility. I will be watching to see if I can pick up some pointers and maybe some new ideas, but if my dog seems fearful it is time to back off and either take things slower or move on to another idea.
