What Parents Need to Know
About Turbo Dogs
Parents need to know that this CGI animated series incorporates lessons about friendship, self-confidence, teamwork, and perseverance in its fun-filled stories. Kids will relate to the issues that arise in the canine characters' lives (helping a friend who's feeling blue, for instance) and may pick up some tips from the endearing pups on navigating their own relationships with others. Although one character often breaks rules to better his chances of winning, his underhanded methods are always foiled in the end, and the sticky situations remind kids that cheating really doesn't pay off.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about good sportsmanship. How do the Turbo Dogs react to winning a race? Do they gloat over their victory or accept congratulations respectfully? How do they act when they lose? Are there any characters who aren't good sports? Have you ever known someone who didn't play fair? How does it change your enjoyment of the game? How important is winning to you? How do you define being a winner?

what a creative show, it is really wonderful for all ages!
When I first saw this show on television, I was quite impressed on how well made it was, and the lessons you learn. * Don't be lazy when your team relies on you. Struts learned this from Clutch #7. * Don't take advantage of your team, ever. Struts #5 - was the one who learned about this the hard way. * Even you when you get older in age, you can still be quite special, with a little no how. Dash #1 learned about this from his grandmother. * Movie stars are actors, not people who do their own skits in movies. Doubles do the actual stunts. Dash #1 - was the one who learned about this on his own. So, whenever you make a mistake, try to do what is right, and dont ignore a problem when one exist. Talk about with your friends or family. You'll feel a lot better if you do. Just a thought: They should have these Turbo Dogs wear something other than their racing suits all the time, like basic clothes, or even be themselves - dogs, when not racing. It makes more sense - doesn't it?! And remember, you're human from the inside out. Thank you for your time, Brian Johnson jhnsn20@hotmail.com)
