NAME: Sparky
BREED: Pit Bull Mix
AGE: 3 years

ABOUT THE DOG:
One day Michael Broussard was working out in the backyard and noticed a box at the front of his house. Inside the box was Sparky, who quickly made herself at home and part of the family. But soon, Sparky behavior turned wild -- charging the fence at passersby, running from her owners and seemingly impossible to walk on a leash.

ABOUT THE OWNERS:
Michael and Jenn Broussard are both professionals in the entertainment industry. Both had dogs growing up and in addition to Sparky, they also own Daisy and Brisco.

BEHIND THE SCENES:
The Broussards' audition tape included footage taken from a "doggie cam." When the Dog Whisperer producers reviewed the tape, they were able to see Sparky's point of view as she ran around her yard.

NAME: Buster
BREED: Great Dane
AGE: 2 years

NAME: Jack
BREED: Boxer Mix
AGE: 5 years

NAME: Marley
BREED: Aussie Mix
AGE: 5 years

ABOUT THE DOGS:
Buster is a new client of groomer Lauren Warshaw. Owners Jay and Debbie Callin purchased Buster from a breeder as a puppy. Big and hard to control, Buster has no manners. Lauren has a very hard time cutting his nails and getting him into the tub.

Jack is a rescue that his owners Koceya and Jennifer Nsubuga adopted as a puppy. Jack is a known "humper," relentlessly humping Lauren, the owners' kids, and most visitors to the house. Jack is also terrified of the blow dryer and will even try to bite it.

Marley is also a rescue who was adopted by his owners Alex and Chris Gregg 3 1/2 years ago. He is a nervous dog, often biting at Lauren during his appointments. Marley is fearful about hands by his face or ears, and he despises bath time.

ABOUT THE GROOMER:
Lauren, an avid dog lover, left a very profitable sales career to pursue a dream of working with dogs. A few years ago, Lauren met someone at a dog expo who suggested mobile grooming. The following week, Lauren contacted the California School of Dog Grooming and scheduled her interview. By February of 2006, Lauren had completed the required coursework and graduated at the top of her class. She now runs the Club Doggie Grooming Salon, which services the desert cities near Palm Springs, California.

BEHIND THE SCENES:
The Mobile Groomer shoot was probably one of the most ambitious the Dog Whisperer crew has ever accomplished, with an early morning start, multiple shooting locations and a long drive back to Los Angeles.
