General

 * No dab links. Great work!
 * No dead links. Great work!

Infobox

 * Is there a possible non-free image to add?
 * Not sure one would be able to meet WP:NFCC; nothing concrete enough to be illustrated by one frame is mentioned in secondary sources and the major plot points (dogs, old man, dogs again) are readily imaginable through words alone. There is a free image breaking up the text already. GRAPPLE   X  03:42, 22 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Add "running time"
 * Done. GRAPPLE   X  03:42, 22 July 2012 (UTC)
 * References for "Guest stars"?
 * Don't have a secondary source for it but the episode itself credits them, serving as its own source (though it need not be specifically cited as it's needlessly circular to cite the subject of its own article).  GRAPPLE   X  03:42, 22 July 2012 (UTC)

Lede

 * Unlink United States per WP:OVERLINK (Television in the United States would be same)
 * Removed. GRAPPLE   X  03:42, 22 July 2012 (UTC)
 * An episode can't really "premiered" how about "originally aired, first aired, etc."
 * Addressed below. GRAPPLE   X  03:42, 22 July 2012 (UTC)
 * "When offender profiler Frank Black (Lance Henriksen) investigates several killings by a pack of savage dogs, he discovers a strange old man who teaches him more than he ever knew about the Millennium Group." Perhaps "The show centers on X. In this episode, offender profiler Frank Black (Lance Henriksen) investigates several killings by a pack of savage dogs, he discovers a strange old man who teaches him more than he ever knew about the Millennium Group
 * Done. GRAPPLE   X  03:42, 22 July 2012 (UTC)
 * critics → television critics
 * Added. GRAPPLE   X  03:42, 22 July 2012 (UTC)

Plot

 * Link Los Angeles
 * Done. GRAPPLE   X  03:42, 22 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Unlink pickup truck per WP:OVERLINK
 * Left that one in, it might be a common enough term in some countries but between the engvar differences and the scarcity of the actual vehicle in many places (Europe mostly uses vans for the same purpose and pickups are rare) I think a link here is useful as an explanatory aid. GRAPPLE   X  03:42, 22 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Link Seattle
 * Done. GRAPPLE   X  03:42, 22 July 2012 (UTC)

Production

 * "The episode was Coulter's first work on the series" how about: "The episode was Coulter's first credit in the series"
 * Done. GRAPPLE   X  03:42, 22 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Unlink casting director per WP:OVERLINK
 * Done. GRAPPLE   X  03:42, 22 July 2012 (UTC)

Broadcast and reception

 * "first broadcast" → originally aired" per the above
 * Done, for whatever difference it makes. 03:42, 22 July 2012 (UTC)
 * "The episode earned a Nielsen rating of 6.5 during its original broadcast, meaning that 6.5 percent of households in the United States viewed the episode. This represented approximately 6.37 million households, and left the episode the sixty-ninth most-viewed broadcast that week". Rewrite: "The episode's initial broadcast was viewed by approximately 6.37 million households, making it the sixty-ninth most-viewed episode that week. "Beware of the Dog" earned a Nielsen rating of 6.5, with a X share, meaning that roughly 6.5 percent of all television-equipped households, and X percent of households watching television, were tuned in to the episode". X should be the episode's Nielsen share
 * Mentioned below, have no information on share to add. GRAPPLE   X  03:42, 22 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Try to add UK airing
 * Again, no source for this. GRAPPLE   X  03:42, 22 July 2012 (UTC)
 * critics → television critics
 * Done. GRAPPLE   X  03:42, 22 July 2012 (UTC)
 * "rated the episode a B+", how about: "gave the episode a "B+"
 * Done. GRAPPLE   X  03:42, 22 July 2012 (UTC)
 * The A.V. Club's Zack Handlen rated the episode a B+, finding it "endearingly batshit". should be ref after, although its below
 * Duplicated the ref after the quote. GRAPPLE   X  03:42, 22 July 2012 (UTC)
 * There are way to many uses of the word "rated" perhaps something else for some
 * One instance changed per above; another changed to "awarded". GRAPPLE   X  03:42, 22 July 2012 (UTC)
