Animal Planet's Zak George and His New Show 'SuperFetch'

Ever wish your dog could help out more around the house? Take out the trash? Find the remote control? Well, with Zak George and his new Animal Planet show "SuperFetch" (premiering Saturday, Oct. 3rd at 8 p.m. ET) you can learn how to teach your dog all this and much, much more.

Zak believes he can show anyone how to teach their pet to perform just about any trick -- the key is making sure your pet wants to do it. On "SuperFetch", Zak will introduce pets and their parents to a simple, step-by-step method of teaching their four legged family members new and unbelievable stunts that will amaze onlookers and strengthen the human/canine bond. In the end, the owners gets one chance to show off their dog's new trick for all of America to see!

Paw Nation had the opportunity to meet Zak and his amazing dog Venus in Central Park for a little sit down and bark time.

What's the craziest trick you've ever taught a dog?
Teaching a dog to ride a tandem bicycle. Also, teaching a dog to make the bed was different.

So, let's get down and dirty. Was there ever a trick you couldn't teach a dog?
(Laughing) Wow, well all tricks aren't cut out for all dogs. Teaching my own dog to twirl around on my feet -- she just wasn't into it, and that's a good point. You can't make a dog do something that he or she doesn't want to do. If you fail to make them want to do something, that's okay too. You can always find something that they do want to do.

What's the number one mistake that people make when trying to teach their dog a trick?
Not communicating with their dog; trying to imply a method rather than trying to communicate.

Tell me about your show, what can viewers expect to see?
"SuperFetch" is so far ahead of any dog training show that you've ever seen. We're not redundant, we're not repeating textbook information and we're hoping to start a revolution in the way that people are teaching their dogs. Also, every other dog training show is so focused on fixing a dog that has issues, but the vast majority of the world accepts their dogs as they are. We're not teaching your dog not to jump on people, we're teaching your dog to jump super high. Taking their energy and converting it to positive and fun tricks. They are actually teaching us. The illusion is that we are teaching our dogs, the reality is that they are teaching us.

So how do viewers get their dogs on your show?
That's the easiest trick of all! Just go to the Animal Planet website.
