What’s New: SuperFetch series

Network: Animal Planet

Pet trainer and YouTube sensation Zak George shows how to teach any pet how to perform any trick in the new Animal Planet series SuperFetch. Filmed in South Florida and in the Boston metro area, SUPERFETCH follows Zak as he teaches pet parents tricks in a step by step process–from finding the TV remote to picking up the dinner dishes to learning how to bowl.

Zak’s training philosophy is that the process must be enjoyable for the animal as well as enrich the bond between people and their pets. By finding out what “currency” motivates a pet such as food or play, how the pet and their parent communicate and what the animal’s aptitude is for learning new skills, Zak designs a custom plan that will get each pet/parent pair to the finish line.

On the show, Zak assigns pet parents homework. At the end of several weeks, after three visits from Zak and intensive at- home training, the duo is put to the test to see if they can pull off the big trick.

In Their Words: “Working with people and their pets is a true passion of mine, and I believe that animals are capable of learning anything we take the time to teach them,” says host Zak George. “My goal in SUPERFETCH is not only to entertain but to help pet parents on the show and watching at home learn more about their relationship with their furry family members while picking up some useful training tips along the way.”

When: Premiers on Animal Planet Saturday, October 3, at 8 PM (ET/PT).
