The comments by one of the judges, Victoria I think, show me that Galaxy has absolutely no chance to win no matter how well he does because the judge does not approve of his training methods. Unless, I have missed something, I have never seen anything even remotely harsh. Dog and owner seem to love and respect each other. I find this criticism way out of line particularly for a judge (not to mention how disrespectful it is to trainers using any method other than Victoria's). Fortunately, it probably will not be an issue as all the remaining contestants seem to have wonderful relationships with their dogs and are doing very well. I think her heart is in the right place, but she may need to sharpen her people skills a bit.

Wendy should not be a judge next year? Oops....it was Victoria that was off-base, not Wendy. Wendy was right-on telling Victoria to "get over herself." Like so many other British judges on American TV shows, Victoria can be extremely rude, hurtful and inconsiderate in her remarks. I like her on her own show (It's Me or the Dog), but I do not think she has any place judging a competition with as much objective content as this.

I do think Wendy's comments on the previous week's "art projects" were also offensively hurtful in some cases, so let's agree that they both should think before they speak.

[quote]First of all, I want to bow down to al lthe dogs who were able to dig!! I know that my dog don't know how to dig and he wouldnt stand in a box and dig, he would of started to listen for my voice and walk around looking for another way to get me out. So, I don't blaim bella scarlet for not digging but I want to say, I can't believe how agressive she has been

Max does not dig either he would probaly try other ways to find me



In the leg up, I felt like it was wrong of those people to get mad at Travis for not saying what the leg up was about. He promised Bill he wouldn't and when you make a promise you have to keep it. I never herd him say or promise anyone that he would tell them about the leg up. Them people prob. figured that if they helped him in training, he would help them in the leg up. Your not suppose to "do" and expect to get in return. Anyway, I thought it was nice that they got a phone call home .
I agree they earned the leg up fair and square the leg up was theirs not everyones they don't have to tell them when they earn it do or would they want to tell anyone either.







During the challange, I was impressed how well Leroy did. It is all in the blood line though. I had a feeling that Presley would do that but gotta give him credit because toward the end he did go back to see the puppies. I felt bad for Star having to do that, but I think maybe he didn't wanna be a quiter and not even try to complete the challange which could of got him sent home. So even though he pushed Star, and the dog almost bit, he still did it within the time.

I was also impressed on how well Leroy did ,those puppies loved and were interested in following leroy. I was dissopointed with star and Bill but yet I understand.







What the heck, the judges fighting over galxey's owners methods. What childness. I really hope that Wendy isn't a judge next season. Dispite how she turned it around and started being nice, she still has to learn to think before she speaks.

I do have to agree they each have their good and bad but i personaly have not often agreed with anything Wendy said and find she can be rude





I was glad Bella was sent home. She clearly wasn't wanting to be there anymore and I was honestly, sick of her crying over every little thing. I think Bella was just a tired pup who wanted to be home in her own terratory away from all the other dogs and having to do challanges.

I was glad too I just felt it was time for her to go home because they were not haveing much fun anymore they were both stressed and just couldn't handle it anymore. it did not make Beth Joy a bad trainer or Bella Starlet a mean dog i just think it was enough for both of them and they should go home and have a good time

"Galaxy has absolutely no chance to win no matter how well he does because the judge does not approve of his training methods. Unless, I have missed something, I have never seen anything even remotely harsh."

I don't think Victoria was commenting on JD, I think she was reacting to Wendy's comment that "Move over Cesar Milan" or something to that effect. I imagine mention of Cesar is a little touchy for her.

Glad Bella Starlet went. Beth's meltdowns were stressing the poor little dog so much that she was getting aggressive.
