Synopsis

After his girlfriend Yuuko breaks up with him, Miyu Samura's luck is at an all-time low. But one day several months later, she reappears and gives Miyu a toy poodle she supposedly cannot take care of. Miyu's knowledge of dogs is nonexistent, and the puppy's rowdiness leaves him in danger of being evicted from his own home.

When Miyu decides to take the puppy on a walk, he has a chance encounter with professional dog trainer Shinichirou Niwa and Niwa's well-behaved standard poodle Ourson. In just a matter of minutes, Niwa not only corrects the attitude of Miyu's dog, but also gives Miyu himself stern advice on how to treat his pet properly. Amazed by Niwa's techniques, Miyu decides to quit his job in order to become the trainer's assistant; however, Niwa is not as skillful in dealing with humans as he is with their canine companions. Even so, Miyu refuses to give up on Niwa and his failing business.

UNDERRATED UNDERRATED UNDERRATED. I think it's very clear since all reviewers before me said the same thing. Certainly this anime deserves higher rating than 6.90. This anime has it all except one thing, great animation. It's not the best, but not the worst. I'd say decent. This is not action anime, so I don't really care much about that part. What I care is story and character. And this anime delivers. Relatable characters, heartwarming stories, great moral messages, very educational especially if you have or want to have a pet. Or even if you don't. The humans in this anime has their own stories and ...

Highly recommended anime to anyone that has owned a dog, or is thinking of becoming a dog-owner.

It has accurate information on canine psychology, canine physical health, grooming, and of course, both basic and advanced training methods. Walking audiences through these methods with step by step instruction! The story and plot moves forward with realistic scenarios that many dogs and their owners have experienced.

The characters are well rounded, in the sense that their personalities and emotional depths are properly explored and we come to understand each of the main cast. At times, their sense of canine justice may have been overly exaggerated, but audiences ...

Mixed Feelings
Preliminary (18/20 eps)
Dog Signal isn't standing out to me for it's animation, novel story, or other shiny merits. however as still-novice dog owners we can't stop watching this cheesy and compelling series.
-> i won't re-watch but we won't Drop it. inexperienced dog owners like me should at least pet their doggy while watching a few episodes!

Dog Signal is not so much a guidebook as it is a thoughtful training buddy exploring what new dog owners will generally confront and can learn from. as an anime it ranks 5-6 for me. The dialogue and characters are trope-y, caricature-y, and very anime-y. but when they ...
