What’s the Story?

Reviewed by Andrea Graham

Hosted by Jay Stutz, GOOD DOG U brings canine obedience class into your living room. Stutz is a professional canine trainer who helps families guide their dogs into becoming charming, well-behaved companions. In each episode, Stutz visits a family whose dog is having behavioral problems -- such as chewing, digging, aggression, and begging. Demonstrating gentle techniques that assert human dominance over the family pet with a strong-yet-loving hand, Stutz works wonders in turning the naughty doggie into man's best friend.

Is It Any Good?

All in all, Good Dog U is a great series for families who are thinking about adding a dog to their household. Young viewers will learn that raising a dog is a serious-yet-rewarding responsibility that requires daily attention and care, and dog-lovers of all ages will pick up interesting pet care and training tips. Kids will particularly enjoy the show's puppy feature, which showcases dog owners who bring in their adorable puppies to learn the basics of dog obedience.
