Last week, we saw Greatest American Dog and Big Brother’s live eviction show trade time slots. Last Wednesday at 8pm, which is Greatest American Dog’s new timeslot, we saw the contenders brush up their dog-handling skills in the Dog Bone Challenge, which required the owners to instruct their pets on whether or not to pick up items such as steak, tofu and sticks. This challenge caused some contenders to realize that their pets aren’t as disciplined as they thought.

In this challenge, Tillman pushed through, painfully drooling over a piece of steak. However, this was not enough to earn them a spot in the Dog House. J.D. and English Border Collie Galaxy soon took Travis and Presley’s place in the house.

'Greatest American Dog' Series Premiere Review: Put This Puppy to Sleep

The premise of CBS' Greatest American Dog sounds more like the plot of a Christopher Guest mockumentary than a compelling reality show. Here's the setup: 12 people with strong personalities are thrown into a house along with their canines, where they're forced to put their pups through all sorts of wacky challenges. Each week, judges Wendy Diamond, Allan Reznik and Victoria Stillwell eliminate an owner/dog team, until the one duo left yapping is awarded $250,000.

Despite my misgivings about watching a series that's basically Big Brother: Shih-Tzu Edition, I tuned in to Greatest American Dog with an open mind. Read on to find out if CBS deserves a Best in Show trophy or a painful neutering for this reality experiment.
