At the end of my leash

While playing the ultimate couch potatoe and being far to lazy to search for the remote, a show came on Life Network called "At the end of my leash". Has anyone else seen this?

Premise of the show is a family with a supposed out of control dog. Trainer comes in, yells and belittles .... the humans! I was very happy to see a show that places blame on the people who let the dog get to the point where the family (or one family member) wants to get rid of the dog. He just installed survillance cameras in the house and noticed that they wife was attempting to breed their dog. The trainer just flipped out.

He says at the start that his goal is to 'educate dogs and train people'.

Interesting show.

I don't have Life (), but that sounds like an entertaining show.

I saw some one that show when I was on my break at work. (Don't have TV myself). It looks pretty good. I like how he followed up every week or two. It really was all about training the people! It kind of reminded me of a more positive training method spin off of "the dog whisperer". I can say I like this "At the end of my leash" guy way more, but thats just my opinion.

I saw half of a show and agree with Scott_B - didn't like the guy. Didn't help that in the episode I saw he asked the people to attach the dogs' leashes - with dogs attached - to hooks on the wall to keep them in place over night. There is not a chance I would ever leave my dog susceptible to strangulation like that.
