Does anyone else like the show Lucky Dog with trainer Brandon McMillan?  I stumbled on it by chance a few times and have been impressed with his methods and attitude.  He rescues individual dogs from shelters, trains them and adopts them into a family, helping the dog and family adjust and integrate.  It's on CBS Saturday morning. 

Brandon was raised in a circus family. This tells his story:

His insight, understanding and rapport with the animals is great to see.  I'm going to recommend it for my 8 yrs. old grand daughter who will be soon getting  her first puppy.  After having seen some of the discussions on this forum about other TV trainers, I find this refreshing.
