Mythbusters

Everyone has heard the old saying, Can you teach and old dog new tricks, right? Well the mythbusters decided to check this myth out. They got two, age nine, huskies (A very difficult dog to train) and Adam and Jamie each took one dog and a real dog trainer and worked for one week to train them to do five tricks sitting, heeling, staying, lying down, and shaking hands. Turns out you could teach old dogs new tricks. Meanwhile Grant, Kari, and Tory wanted to see if you can beat a guard dog. They set up fencing and put a safe in the middle of the fenced in area and they tested five different ways to keep the dog from attacking the first way was distracting it with a steak, it distracted the german shepard for a minute or two but once it turned around and saw the intruder it attacked. Next up acting submissive, and the third was acting aggressive both tested negative. The scent of wolf urine that made the dog hesitate for a second but then attacked. Using the urine of a female dog in heat it was put on a cloth and dragged outside of the fencing by the teamates the guard dog couldn't keep its mind off of it even after looking directly at the intruder so that was confirmed. The final dog myth can you out smart a bloodhound they tested zig-zagging, running through water, covering them and the floor with pepper, cleaning and changing clothes, covering in cologne or coffee, and running in an urban enviorment, those dogs are extremley smart and couldn't get fooled no matter how hard they tried each myth was busted. This show is so interesting it's entertaining and it's educational some episodes are more closley impacted on someones life than others. I say that because some do have alot to do with saftey and everyday things people do so it's kinda cool that well known myths that people say are being tested.
