Lucky Dog

I've watched this series for years and found every story line heartwarming. The training results were amazing. I would suggest more emphasis on house breaking would be valuable to many current and future owners.

Each episode follows the same story line. I'd like to see the show get more creative, possibly to include potty training, grooming, food recommendations, etc.

I just watched the episode with Choo Choo and was very disappointed to see that the new owners shaved all Choo Choo's hair off. Unless there is a problem in the fur or skin, it's not normally recommended to shave the fur...it's there for a reason! Hopefully it was not done for minimizing dog hair in the home!!!

Brandon is credible, the new couple is not! Brandon is an amazing dog trainer. He trains all dogs, not just little fuzzy dogs. His skills work for the dogs he is rescuing as well as transferring to the audience training needs. He does not discriminate against big dogs, the new show seems like it does. The new version of the show does not even remotely compare to the realistic training that brandon does with his dogs. The families of course, are all happy with their pups which is great but the skills that Brandon teaches to the dogs, the owners, and the audience give you the complete package. I can count on one hand how many times I have watched the new version of the show. When Brandon was on the show, I would set it to record and never miss an episode. Please bring Branon back!

From "Homeless to a Home" is the hope of this show. To take a rejected dog from the streets and try to gain their trust and obedience seems a daunting task but with lots of love and patience almost anything is possible. Brandon McMillan has 5 days to get the dog ready for a new life. Starting with just trying to gain the love of the dog to getting it to be vulnerable, teaching the dog it doesn't need to hide like it used to, taking it to be around other people, animals and especially children. And finally for the biggest test of all. Will the dog accept the new family. Will the new family accept the new dog. It has to be a good fit. Dogs like people have their own personalities and you can't manipulate them. Success is never guaranteed but no matter what the outcome it touches the heart. In my opinion there is only one requirement for loving this show. You must love dogs.

Use to watch every week, but since Brandon left I watched one episode with new couple and stopped watching. It's not the same without him.
