'Supernanny' Meets 'Dog Whisperer'

Naughty dogs of America beware - the makers of "Supernanny" want to throw you a bone. "It's Me or the Dog" is a new reality show in development for an unspecified network. Producers are currently casting the pilot, seeking confused canines and their owners to participate in a doggy boot camp. Interested parties can call (877) 44-DOGGY.

The show will be based on the production company's UK format, which sics dog-dominatrix Victoria Stilwell (the snarky British judge from "Greatest American Dog", pictured above) on doggy delinquents near and far. It is believed that Stilwell will star on the US version, too, but officials at production company Ricochet did not return calls yesterday.

TV shows that claim an ability to change bad behavior, dogs and children are a hot commodity these days. While Ricochet's biggest claim to fame so far is "Supernanny" the bad dog shows are becoming increasingly popular. Currently, National Geographic Channel's "Dog Whisperer" with Cesar Millan is the most popular.
