    Alert to every deranged impulse of his clients, Mr. Silver brings his lessons home with vigor and wit.

    Watching this show feels like walking around Manhattan, and you don't have to be a dog person to think that's fun.

    Dogs in the City is perfect summer fluff for city dog owners.

    Dogs is a perfectly pleasant show based on the perfectly reasonable proposition that dogs are people, too.

  1. i love Justin and his dogs. i wish Justin would get in contact with me to help us with our dog. he is so gentile and respectful of the animals, you can really see a love of animals in him. i work for a pet store nation wide chain and i recommend his show to everyone. Expand
  2. I like the main person in this show and all of the problems that are encountered by dog owners, particularly in a big city. These are problems that many people have and the show will be tremendously useful to them and helpful to those of us who already have dogs even though they may not have problems (yet). I enjoy the show very much. Collapse
  3. Justin Silver's credentials may be a tad iffy but he seems quite good at training the owners, and after all it's they who cause 90% of the dogs' behaviors. Expand
  4. Justin is trying a little too hard to be different from the Dog Whisperer. He's **** and arrogant without the goods to back it up. From the three episodes I've watched, I felt like it was mostly a day-in-the-life of big-city folks and their dogs. I think he deserves another season to get more confident and secure and improve on connecting better with his clients. Expand
