Watching this show feels like walking around Manhattan, and you don't have to be a dog person to think that's fun. Read full review

Dogs is a perfectly pleasant show based on the perfectly reasonable proposition that dogs are people, too. Read full review

Fans of Animal Planet's "It's Me or the Dog" or National Geographic's "Dog Whisperer with Cesar Millan" will recognize this summer series about New Yorkers and the canines that own them for the copycat it is, but who cares? Read full review

Watched both of the shows and loved the pace and wit of the show. Great choice in dogs, trainer and owners!! Was already a fan of Beefy who also surfs by the way. Brilliant to use him for the first show.

Just love this show. Love his attitude, insight, and is obvious affection towards the dogs.
I have read other books and watched other shows, and in the short time this show was on
I learned much more then all the other venues combined. So looking forward to the next season.

Justin Silver's credentials may be a tad iffy but he seems quite good at training the owners, and after all it's they who cause 90% of the dogs' behaviors.

Justin is trying a little too hard to be different from the Dog Whisperer. He's **** and arrogant without the goods to back it up.

Here's my critique of the show: http://dubuquedogtrainer.hubpages.com/hub/Dogs-In-The-City-A-Critique-of-the-First-Episode

I have sufficient reason to believe that Justin Silver is an imposter, not a real dog trainer. If he is a real dog trainer, his knowledge and skills are amateurish at best.
