For all the hype it got I was expecting a lot more!

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

I base this review on the first story from the first episode, so there is the caveat that the series may have gone in a different direction after this. The episode presented a dramatic and interesting story solving the problem of an aggressive dog. Giving the show 3 stars isn't about the entertainment factor. My concerns are:
1. There was very little explanation of what the family was doing wrong that led to such severe behavioral problems. What went wrong with the three trainers that couldn't solve the problem? Nothing.
2. The only solution presented was a trip to Cesar's million dollar dog paradise ranch. This made for good drama (Cesar rides in to the rescue!) but there is a need to better balance storytelling with education. How do owners whose dogs can't go to the magic ranch deal with problems?
