EPISODE TITLE: Episode 74: Dog Myths

ORIGINAL AIR DATE: 3/14/2007

SYNOPSIS: Well it's about time, right? Time to tackle a classic: is it possible to teach an old dog new tricks? In attempt to find an answer Adam and Jamie go head-to-head with a pair of untrained, middle-aged, Malamute Huskies. With the help of expert dog trainers they'll have one week to teach their canine companion five new tricks. Next Kari, Grant and Tory look into the myth: Beat The Guard Dog. You know the story — the cat burglar wants to sneak past the guard dog. He whips out a juicy steak and while the dog is chowing down, our sneaky thief makes off with the loot. Of course that's not the only method and our intrepid trio try them all. And finally to top our our canine special, in Foil the Bloodhound, the gang tests the old Hollywood tale: a fugitive is on the run and the police with their faithful comrade, the bloodhound, are on his trail. So what does our prey do to shake them off? Easy. Double back, run zig zags or take a detour along the creek for a while. Adam and Jamie put it all to the test to find out if you can really lose these four-legged nose machines that easily.



"In loving memory of Ronin the Bloodhound."
