Throwback to Sep. 2014, when Sweety High TV headed to the set of the Disney Channel hit Dog With a Blog to catch up with the cast before Season 3.
The new season premiered on Sep. 26, 2014, and it turned out to be the show’s last. 12 years later, our set visit is a fun time capsule.
The cast rolled out the welcome mat for Sweety High, and G Hannelius hosted a special edition of Sweety High TV. There were plenty of four-legged surprises along the way.
The cast kicked things off by sharing how much they love Sweety High. Several joked that they can’t start or end their day without checking in on the site.
Stan Takes the Spotlight
First up was Stan, the show’s furry star, who got a round of congratulations on his Emmy nomination. G even asked him to show off a few tricks for the camera.
The cast was then asked what Stan would say if he accepted an Emmy in “dog.” One imagined a heartfelt thank-you to the makers of bacon and kibble, while another had him proudly declare himself a golden god.
Season 3 in Three Words
Asked to sum up the new season in three words, the cast came back with a delightfully chaotic list. “French poodle,” “crazy shenanigans,” “mayhem,” “shocking,” “exciting,” “kooky” and “effervescent” all made the cut.
G even included “shocking” in her list twice. The second one, of course, should be written in all capital letters for extra drama.
Inside the Family Room
When it came to favorite spots on set, the family room won out because that’s where the uproarious comedy happens. From a burrito cannon to a big Halloween party, it’s the home of the show’s wildest gags.
Another favorite place is the living room couch, the one spot where the dog is actually allowed to get comfy. One cast member joked that the set is also the only place they can sneak in a workout, pull-ups included, since there’s no time for the gym.
Secrets From the Set
The cast also spilled a few behind-the-scenes secrets. A spinning fixture that used to be a popular toy between takes was off-limits that season.
The biggest reveal came next. The park set is built in the same space as the school commons, complete with lockers and stairs, and as one cast member pointed out, all of it is fake.

Pet Blogs and Fandom Names
Since Stan’s blog is all about family, the cast was asked what they would name a blog for their own pets. Answers included a playful mess-and-a-half title for a dog named Bonzo and a blog following the adventures of one cast member’s two dogs.
With Season 2 ending on Stan’s secret getting out, the group also brainstormed fandom names for his growing fan base. Suggestions included Stan’s fans, Stay-inators, bloggers, stand-ups, stand-ins and even the Stanislavski.
Blake Michael even held out hope for “Vlog-inator,” long after the conversation had moved on. It was a fitting end to a lighthearted visit.
A Playful Sign-Off
Everyone on set sounded thrilled for the premiere, and the energy was contagious. Beth Littleford, Regan Burns and Blake closed the segment by joking about the spelling of “Sweety High” with a Y.
It was the perfect goofy finish for a set visit full of heart and plenty of mayhem.
Revisit the Series
All three seasons of Dog With a Blog arrived on Disney+ in the US in 2021, so the whole family saga is easy to binge again. Pair it with this throwback and you may find yourself quoting Stan for days.
