The following announcement was made regarding the course renewal: "The decisive factor is the combination of your dog and the owner! The course is a series of fear and temptation. Can you reach the goal safely?!! With a combination of a dog and an owner, if you clear 9 attractions, you will completely conquer! The stage has moved from land to water, and the attractions have been upgraded in SUPER DOG. Is it the dog that pulls the leg? Or is it the owner?"

Kinniku Banzuke cancelation

Doggy Maze (SUPER DOG VI)
The sixth rendition of SUPER DOG appeared on Sports Casino in 2007. For the first time, the owner and dog were completely separated the whole time.

Change in format
Aside from owners and dogs running separately, the pairs whom cleared together would go onto face a second stage. The second stage would be the exact same course, except the owner would not have to complete their section. Instead, the dog owner would be calling out from a tower near the goal line of the course, trying to get the dog to complete its pathway. In a time trial system with the other groups who cleared the first stage, the fastest pair would ultimately win.

Course

 * The human would have to navigate a series of unstable floating beams and platforms to the finish, all the while calling out for the dog to follow along and complete the maze on the opposite side.
 * The dog would have to complete a pathway that included a slalom area and a much larger version of "The Maze" from IntelliDog. Inside the maze, it was filled with various small distractions such as the "Desire trap," returning from previous SUPER DOG versions.
 * Time Limit: 120 seconds

Dog Adventure (SUPER DOG VII)
The most recent SUPER DOG rendition was broadcasted on Taiiku no Jikan in 2008. This version was named "Dog Adventure", and returned to the format of both owner and dog challenging the course together.

② ^Panic Maze パニックメイズ
