"Showmance" and Baring Teeth

Poor Elvis, can't a Terrier just be a Terrier! Every other dog gets props for being exactly what they are; Border Collie = herding, Bulldog = brutish. But Elvis gets chastised for causing trouble. Look up Terrier. It says Terrier = trouble! You have to love this dog! Elvis was finally accepted by the other dogs (if not their owners),and was allowed to play off leash with those who would have it.
I like this show because it shows how quickly any dog can learn any trick. The owners are not given long to work on the new tricks, so it proves that short intense training does wonders. Dogs only like to work for short periods (though some breeds will literally work till they drop, ie. Dalmatians), but they will do it often.
The Reward Challenge was very hard. The owners/dogs were split into teams of two and dogs were tied to knotted ropes. The owners had to lure the dogs through the ropes to untangle them! Wow, my dog would have just chewed his way out!
Presley, the 18 month old Boxer is just phenomenal. I am willing to bet we see him in the movies when this is over! Travis (Presley's owner) and Laura (Preston the Pom's owner) are the 'shomance'. They are both single and the dogs like each other, so what the heck?
The Elimination Challenge was an agility course. They were split into two teams and had to do both individual and team parts on the course. I was really impressed by both teams. Elvis had the most difficulty, but he appears to be the least trained.
The judges chose David/Elvis, Laurie/Andrew and Ron/Tillman for the bottom three contestants. Elvis had his troubles and Laurie was quick to throw him to the judges stating that he had bitten a couple of the other dogs. Laurie made Andrews trick easier on their part of the course winding up in the bottom. And Ron was not the boss of Tillman (that's Elvis' job!) so they landed there too.
In the end it was time for David to take Elvis home. A terrier takes a strong willed owner. At the door David gave the obligatory, "Elvis has left the building!"
