At the End of My Leash

Is your dog tearing your family apart? Do you fight over four-legged issues such as who gets to sleep on the bed, who runs after the runaway, and who cleans up, picks up, and puts up with Fido? Are these dog-fights threatening your relationship? Are you at the end of your leash?

White Iron Pictures (Bugs and Blooms, Open Homes) and Purple Dog Media, producers of the new national television series, At the End of My Leash, are looking for Calgary-area families who desperately need help bringing man's best friend out of the dog house and back into a warm and loving home.

With his unique training and counselling skills, life coach and innovative dog trainer Brad Pattison will stop the fur from flying—with your family—and with Fido! If your family is in an out-and-out dog fight over dog issues and you are willing to let Brad and a camera crew in to help you fix your problems, email endofmyleash@shaw.ca with a photo and your story or fill out a questionnaire at www.endofmyleash.com. Thank you!

Do you have a princess in your life? You know, a friend or family member who thinks the world revolves around her? A girl who can’t leave the house unless she’s in $300 jeans and matching manicure?

Slice Network’s new program Princess is on the hunt for those demanding divas. Our host, Gail Vaz-Oxlade, is about to blast her tough-love tactics onto a whole new generation of women. Watch as Gail sets these girls straight when it comes to career, money, and relationships and thrusts them into the life they’ve always dreaded: their own!

Contact us by email at casting@franticfilms.com

So nominate the pampered prima donna in your life and see if she can earn some respect in the real world. Your princess’s envious lifestyle is about to get the dose of reality it’s always needed.

Newlywed, Nearly Dead

Conflicting expectations, annoying habits, cooking and cleaning disputes. Did you really think life after the wedding would be like this? Proper Television and Slice TV are looking for newlywed couples to show us what the first few years of marriage are really like. This will be a fun-filled take on ironing out the real-life kinks of early married life.

Marriage is a major transition full of tangles and twists to work out. What should be the happiest times of your life can end up being the most trying: a new home, new family, new life. Whose furniture has to go and whose stays? Who gets all the cooking and cleaning dumped on them? Who over-spends and who penny-pinches? Whose in-laws just never go home? Who is basing the house hunt on proximity to the pub?

If you:
- are married less than three years;
- fancy a chance to air your grievances; and,
- want us to steer you in the direction of wedded bliss with some savvy solutions...

Please email your story of newlywed life, along with a wedding photo, to newlywed@propertelevision.com or phone 416-598-2755. Thank you!
