00:00Hi!
00:01Hi!
00:02How are you?
00:03Pandora!
00:04Pandora!
00:05What you need to do is get control of Pandora.
00:07If dogs go wild...
00:10They are absolutely nuts.
00:13Is the dog around?
00:15I can't control them.
00:17Come on now, big boy.
00:18Nathan thinks he can read.
00:20Surely he can.
00:21He can't.
00:22He's a dog.
00:23Of course he can.
00:24And get up.
00:25Oh, here we go.
00:26No, get down.
00:27To no good.
00:28It's always me now, is it?
00:29Or down.
00:30Oh, no.
00:31And dirty.
00:32He loves a big, large crap.
00:35Oh, Tank likes to rub his boy part.
00:40What is going on with you, Tank?
00:42When Pops...
00:43I wonder what we're going to learn today.
00:45...need to be schooled.
00:46Three, two, one, and sit.
00:48Fantastic.
00:49Look at that.
00:50Or if your pooch...
00:52He's dropped one.
00:53He got a whiff.
00:54...has a personal problem.
00:56Some dogs have bacterias that are gas-producing.
00:59Just in case.
01:01One man...
01:02Hey, look at that!
01:04...will give it his all.
01:06Gak!
01:07Oi!
01:08Leave it.
01:09...and get answers...
01:10I think I might know what's going on, and it's not what you think.
01:13...to any doggy dilemma.
01:15Yeah, that's next level, isn't it?
01:17This week, two brothers at war...
01:24We're lucky we've got a big enough house to cut it into two.
01:30...ruining a retirement.
01:32It's as though we're growing apart.
01:34I feel quite lonely at times.
01:37They're putting an awful lot of faith in me.
01:39A randy pop...
01:40Oh, get down.
01:41...gets the cold shoulder.
01:43We're not having that, right? Off you go.
01:44Game over.
01:45And Graham learns the tricks of the trade...
01:48That's spaghetti!
01:49...when it comes to nail clipping.
01:51I can see where this is going.
01:57Retirement for many means being able to enjoy the simpler things in life.
02:01Max, check the tire pressures, mate.
02:03Perhaps that's tinkering with our favourite toys.
02:06I tell you what, make yourself useful.
02:08Get us a spanner, would you?
02:10He's a bit rubbish for the mechanics, mate, but he's good company.
02:13Ah, Graham's not ready to put his feet up yet.
02:16Come on.
02:17But the couple he's going to meet were very much looking forward to their golden years together.
02:23Well, I'm in Wiltshire today and I'm on my way to see two dogs and their humans.
02:29And they've asked me to meet at their caravan.
02:31To be honest, I've never really been the touring caravan type.
02:35But, you know, whatever floats your boat, a lot of people love it, don't they?
02:39Fair enough.
02:40Olly.
02:41Olly.
02:42Des and Anne would love to embrace their retirement dream...
02:45Good boy.
02:46..of travelling in their pride and joy.
02:48It's quite an investment.
02:49It's a top-of-the-range caravan.
02:51Everything is just a home from home.
02:53The plan was to take the van and the dogs and have a month in Scotland.
03:00But a serious brotherly beef is stopping them.
03:05Zach and Olly are at war.
03:08If I thought we were going away, I'd be not sleeping.
03:16Because I'd be so worried about it.
03:18I mean, look at them, I don't want them like that.
03:27It's a big investment sitting there not doing anything for us.
03:32Ah, this must be it.
03:35Morning.
03:38Morning.
03:39You all right? Hello.
03:40Nice to meet you.
03:41Anne, isn't it?
03:42It is, it is.
03:43Shall I come in?
03:44Come in.
03:45You've got a minute, Eminy.
03:49It's a fun shouting match, isn't it?
03:51Calm down.
03:52Olly.
03:53What does the future hold for the caravan?
03:54We've actually got it up for sale.
03:55Oh, have you?
03:56We thought if we're not going to use it, we ought to sell it.
03:57It's a reluctant sale.
03:58And the hope is, if you've got a magic wand...
03:59Ha!
04:00I'll see if I've got one in the car.
04:02If we could fix it, we could pee away in the caravan and it won't be for sale.
04:05Well, there's no magic wand, but there might be a method if we can find one.
04:08But I've got to unravel what's going on.
04:10Well, cracking up is like walking into World War Three.
04:11Both dogs barking their heads off, bearing their teeth, snarling at each other.
04:12And it seems relentless.
04:13So they're in trouble.
04:14They're in trouble.
04:15And the hope is, if you've got a magic wand...
04:16I'll see if I've got one in the car.
04:17If we could fix it, we could pee away in the caravan and it won't be for sale.
04:21Well, there's no magic wand.
04:22But there might be a method if we can find one.
04:25But I've got to unravel what's going on.
04:27Well, cracking up, it's like walking into World War Three.
04:32Both dogs barking their heads off, baring their teeth, snarling at each other.
04:37And it seems relentless.
04:38So the retirement dream, the caravan, is up for sale.
04:42Unless I can fix the dog problem.
04:46They've put an awful lot of faith in me.
04:51It's not just caravanning the couple can't carry on.
04:55They can't enjoy their beautiful garden together either.
04:59We've had to split the garden into two.
05:01There's no way that they would stay in the same garden.
05:04This side over here is where...
05:07Zach, during the day, has got access to.
05:10This side of the garden is where, during the day, Ollie's got access to.
05:15Anne's done it out quite nice.
05:17And Anne will be here with Ollie and I'll be at the other side with Zach.
05:23It's not ideal to have two dogs that we can't share together and share our time together.
05:29It's completely split.
05:31And we kind of say, cheerio, you're in your half of the garden, I'm in mine.
05:39The constant crossfire is wearing the couple down.
05:44Living separately, it's as though we're growing apart.
05:48Wait a minute. This way.
05:50We just get so used to doing things on our own now.
05:54And then the more it goes on, the more apart we are.
05:58I feel quite lonely at times.
06:07To see how divided Des and Anne's lives have become, Graham's joining them on the home front.
06:13Right, Graham, I'm just going to open these blinds and then you'll see what we have to cope with.
06:18All right.
06:19Ah, I know.
06:20Blimey, all right.
06:21It's started already.
06:29As you can see, you can't live like this.
06:31So we've had to divide the house into two.
06:34Right.
06:35And that's how it stays really.
06:36There's the Ollie zone and the Zach zone.
06:38Yeah.
06:39The brothers' feud is non-stop.
06:41It just goes on and on then, does it?
06:43Yeah, it would go on and on.
06:44Graham's keen to understand the impact.
06:49Well, you're going to live in separate lives, are you?
06:52Yeah.
06:53Des and I spend a lot of time separated.
06:56The house being separated, the garden.
06:58We used to all sit out in the garden together.
07:00We don't do anything like that now.
07:03You do start growing apart because you just get so used to being on your own
07:07and doing things on your own.
07:09I do want us all to be together and be one big happy family again.
07:14It's pretty extreme.
07:16It is.
07:18We are at the end of our tether on what to do.
07:20Yeah.
07:21We don't know what to do with them.
07:22Yeah.
07:26As the war rages inside, there is one moment of the day when the boys call a truce.
07:32And what about walking the dogs, then?
07:36I mean, presumably you're going separate ways, do you?
07:38No, that's the bizarre thing.
07:40As soon as Ollie is aware that we're going to go for a walk,
07:43they'll come together, no problem at all.
07:45Well, I'll tell you what, without further ado, can I see this?
07:47Yeah.
07:48Can we go out for a walk?
07:50With Zach and Ollie at a ceasefire out and about...
07:54Ah.
07:56Perhaps they don't hate each other after all.
07:58Graham needs to know what triggered this turf war.
08:0118 months ago, we noticed that Ollie would take himself off to bed
08:06earlier and earlier.
08:08So we took him to the vet.
08:10They found that he'd got copper storage disease.
08:13This rare genetic and potentially life-threatening condition
08:17causes inflammation of the liver and cell damage
08:21due to an excess of copper.
08:23And after surgery, Ollie spent weeks recovering in the kitchen.
08:27Ollie's kind of got used to that area, I suppose.
08:30Yeah.
08:31Started to defend it, is that fair to say?
08:33True.
08:34Yeah, that's very true.
08:35So since then, that's when they've both been separated?
08:37Yes, exactly.
08:38And they've not been back together since?
08:39Exactly.
08:40OK, that does sound significant, doesn't it?
08:42Yeah.
08:43Yeah.
08:44I think it's a bit harsh to say that Des and Anna got it all wrong,
08:48but the fundamental mistake I think they made was
08:51when they created a temporary separation for Ollie to recover,
08:55that became permanent.
08:58The longer these dogs have had their own territory
09:01and fought over it,
09:02the harder it becomes to reverse your way out of that.
09:07So I think it is a difficult problem.
09:09And I don't think we're going to fix this like a magic wand job in a day,
09:12but we sure as heck can get everybody on the right track, I hope.
09:16Coming up, Graham needs to call time...
09:18Stop!
09:19No!
09:20..on a lusty lab.
09:21Stop!
09:22It's getting dangerous because he nearly pushed me down the stairs
09:24with the baby not long ago.
09:26Oh!
09:27He nails it with some helpful hacks.
09:30We want these close to the dog's nails.
09:33Yeah.
09:34And then we're just going to do the sensation.
09:37There you go.
09:38Come on!
09:39Can he broker a peace deal
09:43and revive a retirement dream?
09:46Hold on and do nothing.
09:56Graham's in Wiltshire,
09:58where taking on brothers at war, Ollie and Zach,
10:01is only half the battle.
10:04And we kind of say, cheerio,
10:06you're in your part of the garden, I'm in mine.
10:09Not only are Des and Anne's retirement plans down the drain...
10:12The future for the caravan, we've actually got it up for sale.
10:15..their relationship is also suffering.
10:19We just get so used to doing things on our own now.
10:22Oi! Oi! Oi!
10:23It's as though we're growing apart.
10:25I feel quite lonely at times.
10:31Graham believes Ollie's recovery from his operation sparked the conflict.
10:36You put him in the kitchen and he's gone,
10:38right, I associate this place with safety, recovery.
10:42So he's defended that place.
10:44But I think the longer that they've got their own territory,
10:47the harder it becomes.
10:50But he hopes by bringing the brothers together,
10:52little by little, they will learn to bury the hatchet.
10:56If we put them together for a minute or two,
10:58nothing happens, great, separate them.
11:00Yeah, that makes sense.
11:01So the memory you leave them with was,
11:03oh, I saw him and nothing bad happened.
11:05Oh, good.
11:06And then maybe we build it up two minutes.
11:08Maybe then it's three.
11:09Let's start at the house and the garden,
11:12because at least we've got a little bit of room around us there
11:15to see how we get on.
11:19And if things...
11:20Dogs are lovely and calm, that's great.
11:21..get too heated...
11:23If they do kick off, we're not going to separate them.
11:26We'll bring them outside and take them for a walk,
11:29and I'm hoping that might calm them down.
11:32Graham's banking on them being able to tolerate...
11:35Come on, Saks!
11:36..a minute together.
11:38Come on!
11:39Come on!
11:40..but...
11:41..they can't even get past the threshold.
11:46All right, we'll have to go for a walk again.
11:50..without it kicking off.
11:52Come on, Oli.
11:53Come on, Oli.
11:54Come on, Oli.
11:55Come on, Oli.
11:56Come on, Oli.
11:57Come on.
11:58Come on.
11:59Good boy, Oli.
12:00Good boy.
12:01They've calmed down now.
12:02Yeah, let's try again.
12:03Let's just give it a minute and see what we got.
12:05All right, we'll go for a walk again.
12:06You can go first, Dan.
12:07And then you can join us.
12:08All right.
12:09Come on!
12:10Come on, Oli.
12:11Come on!
12:12Come on!
12:13Come on, Oli.
12:14Come on!
12:15Come on, Oli.
12:16Good boy.
12:17Good boy, Oli.
12:18Good boy.
12:19They've calmed down now.
12:20Yeah, let's try again.
12:22Let's just give it a minute and see what we got.
12:24All right, we'll go for a walk again.
12:27You can go first, Dan.
12:29Can you go first, Dan?
12:33And then you can join us.
12:34All right.
12:35On you go.
12:38Right.
12:39Well, we got further.
12:42With the brothers calling the shots by barking...
12:45They're bargaining on, the other dog gets taken away,
12:48or I get taken away, that's what they want, all right?
12:50It's time to switch things up.
12:52So we're going to sit there and be very calm.
12:56So the good boy and the stroke,
12:58we're reserved for when they're quiet.
13:00Now, they're not going to be quiet for long.
13:01You might just get two or three seconds
13:03while they're taking a breath, really.
13:05But the principal there is,
13:06look, you're getting praise when you're quiet.
13:10Graham's plan is clear.
13:13Let's just wait for a second, see what happens.
13:18Hold on and do nothing.
13:19Stand your ground.
13:21If he stops again for a second,
13:23you tell him, good boy.
13:25Good boy, Zach.
13:27Good boy.
13:28And offer praise in moments of peace.
13:30Good boy.
13:31Good boy, Zach.
13:32Good boy, Zach.
13:33Good boy, Olly.
13:34Good boy.
13:35Good boy.
13:36Good boy.
13:37Right.
13:38Wait.
13:39All right.
13:40It's a painstaking process.
13:44But eventually...
13:46Good boy, Zach.
13:48Good boy.
13:49Slowly, slowly, but surely.
13:51Good boy.
13:52Oh, he sat down as well.
13:54He's gone from starey eyes and fighting stance
13:57to sitting back and soft, you know.
14:00Good boy.
14:01Good boy.
14:02Having laid the foundations for a lasting peace agreement...
14:05Hey, this is different.
14:07Good boy.
14:09Good boy.
14:10Very good.
14:11What do you reckon at?
14:12I think it's very good.
14:15It's good, isn't it?
14:16Yeah.
14:17Reconciliation...
14:18Oh, I'm pleased with this.
14:19...could be a real possibility.
14:22Well, I can see it now that there is a hope
14:25we will actually get a life back
14:27and a life with our dogs.
14:28We'll be able to go away
14:30and do all the things that we wanted to do.
14:33But for the couple to really start enjoying retirement again...
14:39Calm down.
14:40...Graham will need to return
14:42to take on the bitter caravan conflict.
14:50Graham's next job takes him north to Derby
14:53to meet a labradoodle who's quite the handful.
14:56So a labradoodle is, I won't be surprised to hear,
14:59a cross between a labrado and a poodle.
15:01Now, people have been crossing those two breeds for many years,
15:04but they've really picked up popularity
15:06in the last couple of decades, really.
15:09Since the 80s, they've been used as service dogs
15:12because you've got the intelligence of a poodle,
15:15the appetite of a labrado,
15:17which is quite useful for a dog trainer,
15:19and also they're quite good for people who may have allergies.
15:24So that's why we see quite a few around, I think, these days.
15:36Morning.
15:37Oh, hello.
15:38Hello. Are you OK?
15:39Nice to meet you. Are you all right?
15:40I know. Come on in.
15:41Hello. You're Rupert, aren't you? You're lively.
15:43Come on, in you go. Hello.
15:44Oh, blimey.
15:47Hiya. Nice to meet you.
15:48Hi, I'm Martin. Nice to meet you.
15:49Martin, Graham.
15:50Who's this then? Hello.
15:51This is Freddie.
15:52Hello, Freddie.
15:53And who's this?
15:54This is Alfie.
15:55And you, yes, Rupert.
15:57This is Rupert.
15:58He's a lovely lad compared to some other dogs I see.
16:01He's amazing.
16:02He's the best family dog that you could wish for.
16:05He's fantastic, isn't he, with the kids?
16:06Yeah.
16:07So, if he's the perfect family dog, what's your problem?
16:10The problem, apparently, is when I leave the house.
16:13Oh, really?
16:14It turns into a completely different dog.
16:16Yeah, really?
16:17Yeah.
16:18Really?
16:19Yeah.
16:20Yeah.
16:21Is that for what?
16:22Yeah.
16:23From the moment his master's back is turned...
16:25See you later, kids.
16:26See you later, Bob.
16:27Bye.
16:29Rupert has one thing on his mind.
16:32A leg over with the lady of the house.
16:36Rupert, get down.
16:39Rupert.
16:40No.
16:41Get down.
16:42And he won't take no for an answer.
16:45Rupert.
16:46That's enough.
16:47Get down.
16:49Get down.
16:50Down.
16:51No.
16:53And then if he hears, like, any cars,
16:55he'll look as if and go over and see if it's Martin coming home.
16:59He is so sneaky.
17:01This loved-up Labradoodle wants time alone with Bobby.
17:05Get down!
17:07All day.
17:08Down.
17:09Every day.
17:10No, down.
17:11In the kitchen.
17:12Rupert!
17:13In the bedroom.
17:17Rupert!
17:18On the couch.
17:20Stop it!
17:24No!
17:26In fact...
17:27Rupert, get down!
17:28Get down!
17:30Everywhere.
17:31Rupert!
17:32Rupert!
17:33Get off!
17:34Rupert, no!
17:35The other morning, between half past six and half past nine, I'd counted to 34 times.
17:49Rupert, get down!
17:50Get down!
17:51And with a toddler and baby to look after...
17:53Down!
17:54Enough!
17:55...her loved-up puppy is pushing Bobby to the brink.
17:59We need Graham's help now because if it doesn't get sorted out, someone's going to end up really hurt.
18:05Rupert, get down!
18:07I just want to be able to show him the love and attention he deserves without him showing me too much love and attention.
18:15Get down!
18:19I've got to see this, haven't I?
18:20Yeah.
18:21I'm going to have to ask you to leave your own house unless I can see the problem.
18:24Yeah.
18:25Do you mind?
18:26No, no.
18:28Right.
18:29What are you going to do?
18:30Can't wait for the show to begin.
18:31Bye!
18:34There you go.
18:35Get down!
18:36Blimey, all right.
18:37Get down!
18:38It's hard enough when I'm on my own, but obviously when I've got children as well...
18:42Yeah.
18:43Let me just get him...
18:44Yeah, sure.
18:45Get him out.
18:46Oh, blimey.
18:47Rupert, get down!
18:48That's the last thing you need, isn't it?
18:49Get down!
18:50Get down!
18:51No!
18:52Just be careful, Freddie.
18:53Don't we?
18:54Stop!
18:55No, Rupert, get down!
18:57Get down!
18:58No!
18:59Is it particularly in this room that he does it?
19:01He'll do it anywhere.
19:02I was just going to make Freddie a drink, so if you want to come in and see if we'll do it in the kitchen.
19:05Yeah?
19:06Yeah, sure.
19:07Come on, trouble.
19:11Good boy.
19:12Are you going there?
19:13Good boy.
19:14Oh, here we go.
19:16No, get down!
19:17Get down!
19:18Rupert.
19:19I'm impressed.
19:20Oh, he's at it here.
19:21No!
19:22Down!
19:23He's a big lad as well, isn't he?
19:24Yeah, he'd be, like, that's what I mean, he would push me over.
19:27The amount of times he'd knocked me back.
19:29It's getting dangerous because he nearly pushed me down the stairs with the baby not long ago.
19:33Oh!
19:34With the baby in your arm.
19:35Ow!
19:36And he's just...
19:37He literally doesn't say no for an answer, does he?
19:39No!
19:40Stop!
19:41No!
19:42No!
19:43No!
19:44No!
19:45That hurts!
19:46Stop!
19:47No!
19:48Stop!
19:49No!
19:50No!
19:51No!
19:52No!
19:53No!
19:54Rupert!
19:55Stop!
19:56I've seen quite a few dogs that get over-amorous, shall we say.
20:01Get down!
20:02But this is the worst case like this that I've seen, because he's powerful and because it's
20:10an onslaught.
20:11Rupert, get down!
20:12Ow!
20:13It's clearly affecting Bobby's mental health, but I'm also worried that it's dangerous.
20:17It's got to stop.
20:18You must be absolutely frazzled.
20:20Why don't you go grab a seat?
20:21I'll make us a cup of tea, shall I?
20:23Oh, that's lovely.
20:25And we'll get Martin back, we'll have a chat.
20:26Oh, thank you.
20:32How's it affecting you, Martin, when you're at work?
20:34I'm just waiting for the text or phone call off Bobby to say, the dog's doing this, the
20:40dog's doing that, and then it puts more pressure on me.
20:42I'm just thinking, I'm going to have to tell my boss I'm just going home just to stand
20:46there so the dog don't hunt my missus.
20:49I'm being cheated on by a labradoodle.
20:55Yeah, there is that, yeah.
20:57It's a busy household, this.
20:58So you've got a three-year-old dog going on four.
21:01Yeah.
21:02Seven months old.
21:03Yeah.
21:04You've got a dog that's one year old.
21:05Yeah.
21:06That was an interesting time to get a dog.
21:07Was there a reason for that?
21:08We found out we was pregnant, didn't we?
21:10Obviously, we were so excited.
21:13Well, unfortunately, it just wasn't successful.
21:16So, for me, Rupert was that baby that we'd lost.
21:21Yeah, yeah, yeah.
21:22And he was like an anchor, maybe.
21:24Yeah, yeah, yeah.
21:25Like, he was just something that I could focus on.
21:29I feel like I owe a lot to Rupert because he got me over a massive time in my life that was really hard.
21:41I was curious to hear why you would choose to get a puppy when, you know, you've got one young son and another baby on the way.
21:48But I wasn't prepared for the answer, really.
21:51They lost a baby.
21:53And I suppose about the time when she thought the baby should be due, she got a puppy.
21:59And that puppy became the baby.
22:01He was a great emotional support.
22:03And then at six months, his six months old, everything changed.
22:08Alfie was born and he became a real nuisance.
22:12He made life unbearable.
22:15And I think that explains an awful lot.
22:19Coming up, can Graham rescue a retirement dream?
22:24Des has got the caravan up for sale.
22:26From a pair of battling brothers.
22:29Sooner or later it'll give in.
22:31It's time to trim those talons.
22:34We want to be able to slide this card underneath the nails.
22:38Rupert, get down.
22:39And can he rein in Randy Rupert?
22:42One day he's jumped up and done that.
22:44Probably didn't know why he was doing it.
22:45And it's like, oh, that worked.
22:47Yeah.
22:48Without him getting the hump.
22:50He's going to learn to grow up a little bit.
22:53Game over.
22:58Graham's in Derby where lusty Labradoodle Rupert...
23:02No.
23:03..has been trying to get his leg over with the lady of the house, Bobby.
23:07Get down.
23:08All day.
23:09Rupert.
23:10Every day.
23:11Rupert, get down.
23:13Leaving her totally exhausted.
23:16Down.
23:20Rupert only started acting up after baby Alfie was born.
23:24And Graham reckons it's not rumpy-pumpy this Randy boy craves.
23:29It's Bobby's undivided attention.
23:31In some ways this is the worst case of that kind of behaviour I think I've ever seen.
23:37The reason it's so intense, I think it is the circumstances of when you got him.
23:42You're at home all the time because you're on maternity.
23:44A little puppy Rupert's got 100% of you almost 100% of the time.
23:48Yeah.
23:49Yep.
23:50And that went on until he was about six months old.
23:53Yeah.
23:54Which is when Alfie was born, right?
23:55Yeah.
23:56The whole thing changed for him and he went from getting all that attention to not a lot.
24:01And the one way he found to get attention, one day he jumped up and done that.
24:04Probably didn't know why he was doing it.
24:06And it's like, oh, that worked.
24:08Yeah.
24:09I've got you.
24:10The problem I've got is that what you're doing is making it slightly worse.
24:13Some of the time you're just so frustrated with him you end up shouting at him.
24:17So he starts to go into a different place and he gets worse and worse.
24:20Yeah.
24:21So I think we've got to wean him off it.
24:23He's got to learn to grow up a little bit.
24:25Graham wants Rupert to learn that he can be with Mum but only on certain terms.
24:31He's got to learn to share nicely.
24:33He cannot have all of Mum's attention all the time.
24:36Yeah.
24:37Rupert, get down.
24:38Until now, Bobby's reaction to Rupert's relentless humping.
24:42Get down.
24:43Has been inconsistent.
24:44Rupert!
24:45Shouting.
24:46Get down.
24:47Laughing.
24:48I can't even not laugh.
24:50Or waiting it out.
24:52Graham wants Bobby to step in fast.
24:55Rupert, get down.
24:56And make it clear.
24:57Rupert, get down.
24:58That it's game over on the leg over.
25:01Get down.
25:03So as soon as Rupert starts to jump up, we're going to lead him outside.
25:08And we're going to throw a command in there as well.
25:10Right?
25:11Game over.
25:12He'll start to associate game over with, I've blown it.
25:15We're going to put him out in the garden momentarily.
25:17He'll calm down.
25:18We'll bring him back in again.
25:19If he's a good boy, we can tell him he's a good boy.
25:22Give him that attention that he craves and give him a treat.
25:25But how will Rupert react to some tough love?
25:29Oh.
25:30We're not having that.
25:31Right?
25:32Off you go.
25:33Game over.
25:34That's it.
25:35Lead him out best you can.
25:36Come on.
25:37Out.
25:38That's it.
25:39Shut the door.
25:46He's calmed down now.
25:47So I'll let him back in.
25:48Go on then.
25:49Try again.
25:50Straight at him.
25:51Game over.
25:52Well done.
25:53Out.
25:54Out.
25:55Great.
25:56He's processing right now.
25:57Yeah.
25:58Something has changed.
25:59Right, I'll let him back in.
26:00Come on, young man.
26:01Try again.
26:02Oh, good boy.
26:03Yeah, hello.
26:04Now that might have been a fluke or not, but he came straight up to you and went, no, maybe
26:10not.
26:11Yeah.
26:12Good boy.
26:13Good boy.
26:14With Rupert cutting out his risque behaviour...
26:15Good boy.
26:16Oh, look at that.
26:17He gets the attention he really craves.
26:18Oh, that's worth a treat.
26:19Good boy.
26:20Good boy.
26:21Oh, this is very good.
26:22Yeah.
26:23Yeah.
26:24Good boy.
26:25Good boy.
26:26With Rupert cutting out his risque behaviour...
26:29Good boy.
26:30Oh, look at that.
26:31..he gets the attention he really craves.
26:34Oh, that's worth a treat.
26:35Good boy.
26:36Good boy.
26:37Oh, this is very good.
26:42Yeah.
26:43Good boy.
26:44Now, last time, by now, he was jumping all over you, wasn't he?
26:47Yeah.
26:48So he's got to be thinking, I'm running out of options.
26:51Rupert may be getting the message...
26:54Down.
26:55..but his amorous antics reach a climax...
26:58Get down!
27:00..when Bobby's seeing to the kids...
27:01Get down!
27:06I don't want to involve a baby just yet,
27:08but I do want to up the ante.
27:10Wait there, I've got something for you.
27:16There you go.
27:17The last thing you needed was another baby right now, but...
27:22Oh, no.
27:26My thinking is, well, we could practise, couldn't we?
27:28Right, OK.
27:29Well, we don't have a name for the baby yet.
27:31Tim.
27:32Tiny Tim.
27:33That was quick.
27:34All right, if you want to pick Tim up,
27:36and let's see how we go.
27:38Come on, Tim.
27:39That's it.
27:40There you go, Tiny Tim.
27:42Oh, he's interesting, look.
27:45Oh, that's nice.
27:47Good boy.
27:48Good boy.
27:49There you go.
27:50Oh, that's nice.
27:51I'm rocking like he's a real baby.
27:54I know!
27:59Good boy!
28:01Good boy.
28:02Good boy.
28:03Bobby's attention may be divided...
28:07He's going to lie down.
28:09..but for once, Randy Rupert's taking a back seat.
28:12Amazing.
28:16How will he cope...
28:18There you go, Tim.
28:20That's nice.
28:21Good boy.
28:22That's nice.
28:23..when Tiny Tim gets Bobby's undivided attention.
28:27Well, he's interested, but he's not being naughty.
28:33Now what's he going to do?
28:34All right.
28:36Pay me attention.
28:37OK.
28:40Rupert.
28:42OK.
28:45Yeah, look, he is trying to go, look, me, me, me,
28:47not this new one.
28:48It's a bit much.
28:50As soon as things get hot under the collar...
28:53Do you know what?
28:55He's getting nippy again, isn't he?
28:56Game over.
28:57Well done.
28:58Out.
28:59That's it.
29:00You're blowing it.
29:01He gets the cold shoulder.
29:03Out.
29:04Good call, Bobby.
29:05Well done.
29:07Let's bring him back in, then.
29:09But has Rupert learnt his lesson?
29:12Good boy.
29:16Good.
29:17Right, so if you go back to it now, let's see what he does.
29:20That's it.
29:21Good boy.
29:24Good boy.
29:25Good boy.
29:26Well, that's good.
29:27That's good.
29:30Oh.
29:31So you were very clear there.
29:32It's like, no, your body language basically said,
29:34not now, I'm busy.
29:35Yeah.
29:36And he's gone, all right, Mum.
29:38Good boy.
29:39Good boy.
29:43Good boy.
29:45The progress is massive.
29:47It's so good.
29:48Like, normally he wouldn't just lie here, he'd be pawing me, biting me.
29:53So, it's amazing to see him like this.
29:56Rupert may be learning how to behave around tiny Tim.
30:00Hello.
30:01Hello, Freddie.
30:02Are you OK?
30:03Hello.
30:05But how will he react when Dad drops off the real kids?
30:08Good boy.
30:09Good boy.
30:10Very good.
30:11Hello, mate.
30:12You're back.
30:13Hey.
30:14Got it.
30:15Right.
30:16Freddie and Alfie.
30:17That's it.
30:19There you go.
30:21Hey, well, this is amazing, isn't it?
30:26Amazing.
30:27Really good.
30:30Super calm.
30:32It's good, isn't it?
30:34Lovely.
30:35What do you think, Fred?
30:36Good.
30:37Good.
30:38There you are.
30:39The ultimate accolade.
30:40Fred says it's good.
30:42Now this once amorous attention seeker has learnt being laid back is the best way to Mum's heart.
30:50It's just so nice to be able to sit on the floor with both the kids and not be attached.
30:56Yes.
30:57Yeah.
30:58And he's just wandered off without bothering you.
31:01I can't believe it.
31:02It's amazing.
31:03Yeah?
31:04Yeah.
31:05Honestly, it's going to be life-changing.
31:08Thank you so much.
31:09Honestly, it's been amazing.
31:10You're welcome.
31:12Rupert was the dog that she got when she should have been having a baby and it didn't happen.
31:19And he became such an immense comfort to her through those terrible grief-stricken days.
31:25And now I'm hoping that because of this training, finally, she's got her Rupert back.
31:30Oh, the training today's been amazing.
31:32To be able to get my life back with the children when Martin's not here, I think it's just going
31:38to make the world of difference to the family.
31:42Leaving another happy family, Graham can move on to his other mission, keeping the nation's
31:48dogs in tip-top condition.
31:50And here's one from a lady called Keira.
31:52Hi, Graham.
31:53Bluebell really hates having her nails cut and I wondered if you had any tips and tricks
31:57on making that experience that little bit easier for her.
32:00Well, that's a good question.
32:02Well, I can think of a couple of things.
32:04I'm working with nervous dogs all the time.
32:06But any groomer worth their salt is going to have a few tips and tricks that I probably
32:10haven't even thought of.
32:11So, I feel a visit coming on.
32:15Graham's taking Keira and Bluebell to meet award-winning groomer, Verity Hardcastle.
32:21I love grooming so much because it's that immediate gratification.
32:26You build up this lovely relationship with the dog.
32:29You make them look beautiful.
32:31The dogs know it.
32:33When they come out of that groomers, they have a certain strut in their set.
32:37Hiya.
32:38Hello.
32:39Hello.
32:40Keira, Verity.
32:41Hi, Keira.
32:42Lovely to meet you.
32:43And Bluebell.
32:44Hi, Bluebell.
32:45You're adorable.
32:46So, we've got a problem with Bluebell.
32:48Okay.
32:49Bluebell does not like having her nails cut or anyone going anywhere near her nails.
32:54First up, it's key to get any dog used to new objects, be that the sight, smell or sound.
33:01Do you think it's the sight of the nail clippers that would trigger the dog?
33:05I think partially the sight and the sound.
33:07I'm sure, Graham, you know about this, about having a pair of nail clippers and just having
33:12them around at home.
33:13If the dog acknowledges them, touches them, we're going to start rewarding the dog.
33:17Wait for the moment when she goes, hmm, actually, check it out.
33:21Ah, treat appears.
33:22Yeah.
33:23Yeah.
33:24Question for you, Verity.
33:25How often should we be trimming dogs' nails?
33:27Really depends on the age of the dog, how much activity they're doing, what kind of terrain
33:31they're walking on.
33:32Sometimes a bit of pavement pounding is great for their nails, just to...
33:35Because it grinds them down.
33:36Exactly.
33:37Yeah.
33:38Yeah.
33:39With years of experience under her belt, Verity's got a top trick for knowing when it's time
33:44for a trim.
33:45Actually, the best indicator is a credit card.
33:49Is it?
33:50Right.
33:51OK.
33:52We have a lovely bluebell stud, and we want to be able to slide this card underneath the
33:57nails when they're relaxed on the table.
34:00Ooh.
34:01I do think they need trimming a little bit.
34:03Before attempting to trim bluebells...
34:06OK, so I've brought some tools.
34:08Verity has a unique way of making her comfortable around the clippers.
34:13That's spaghetti.
34:14Yeah, it'll make sense.
34:15All right.
34:16OK.
34:17So once you can get the dog in a calm state, probably really helpful for you at home,
34:21is to have a helper, a feeder, at one end, who can be on point with the treats, right?
34:27Because it's a lot handling the dog and handling all this equipment and trying to feed it on
34:30cue, as Graeme said, like timing is key.
34:33So the reason for the spaghetti...
34:35Spaghetti, come on in.
34:36For a lot of dogs, it's the noise sensation.
34:39I'll let Graeme do the feeding.
34:40Oh!
34:41I can see where this is going.
34:43Yeah, I know.
34:44So we want these close to the dog's nails.
34:47Yeah.
34:48And then we're just going to do the sun section.
34:51There you go.
34:52So when the dog's calm, laid on your knee, just start getting them used to having this noise.
34:57The clippers cutting the spaghetti...
34:59Ooh!
35:00...mimics the sound of nails being trimmed.
35:03There you go.
35:04..and when Bluebell doesn't shy away from the noise...
35:07She loves this, doesn't she?
35:09..she's rewarded...
35:10Ooh, what's that?
35:11There you go.
35:12..with a treat.
35:13If I'm using these clippers to cut up bits of treat, I'm making an association with the
35:18sight of clippers and food being prepared.
35:22What do you like one of those?
35:23There you go.
35:24Look what I've got.
35:25She's like, I love those clippers.
35:27For anyone cutting nails, it's important to have the right equipment.
35:32Now this is a plier nail clipper, and you can get these in various different sizes depending
35:37on if you're dealing with a Rottie's nails or a Yorkshire Terrier's nails.
35:43Now Bluebell seems much more comfortable with the sight, sound and smell of the clippers.
35:48We'd better bite the bullet and have a go, hadn't we?
35:50How will she cope with getting her nails done?
35:54Come here.
35:55Oh, clever girl.
35:56Hey, what have we got here?
35:58Who's a clever girl?
35:59Hi, Blue.
36:00Did you?
36:01Yeah.
36:02Now she looked round and went, oh, that lady's got the clippers on the go.
36:04Never mind.
36:05Oh, that's good.
36:07What's she got there?
36:08Good girl.
36:09That's lovely.
36:11Good girl.
36:12Well done.
36:13What's this?
36:14She's been so good though.
36:15I have actually managed to trim three nails.
36:17I actually think it's really important to end on a high, because what we don't want
36:20to do is push her too far.
36:21Sure.
36:22I think she needs to have some homework done, getting her used to having her feet touched,
36:27and then feet touched, reward, feet touched, reward, two nail clippers near her, reward.
36:33It's been really helpful and I'm definitely going to want her to get here.
36:40Still to come, the pressure's on.
36:43We'll have to ride the storm.
36:45To end a bitter brotherly feud.
36:48Give him a minute.
36:49And rescue a retirement dream.
36:52Well, we knew it wouldn't last forever.
36:53.
36:54Before Graham can kick off his dog training boots for the week, he still has a bitter battle
37:07to face.
37:08Right, I better crack on.
37:10Between warring brothers, Zach and Ollie, owners Dez and Anne hope the dogs would complete
37:16their retirement dreams, but the brother's bad blood is forcing everyone to live separate
37:23lives.
37:24Living separately, it's as though we're growing apart.
37:28I feel quite lonely at times.
37:31Last time, Graham brought the warring parties together for peace talks in the garden.
37:37Oh, he's lonely, but surely.
37:39Oh, he sat down as well.
37:41Good boy.
37:42This time, he has a much greater challenge.
37:46I haven't coped with it emotionally.
37:49I've had tears.
37:51In the most hotly contested territory, the caravan.
37:58Morning.
37:59Morning.
38:00Nice to see you again.
38:01Morning, Graham.
38:02This bitter feud has raged on for 18 months.
38:06I'm not exactly sure how it's going to go.
38:08So any peaceful progress made today will be a victory.
38:12If we go in and they kick off straight away, we're going to have to do similar to last time
38:17and just ride that storm.
38:18OK.
38:19I want them to get to a point where they finally blow out, then we can praise them,
38:22we can give them a little tickle on the head, you know.
38:25Graham wants to build on the work they did on home soil.
38:29Good boy.
38:30Bringing the brothers together for short periods.
38:33Good boy, Zach.
38:34Good boy, Zach.
38:35Good boy.
38:36Good boy.
38:37Praising any moments of peace.
38:39Come on, Nick.
38:40But will the close quarters of the caravan prove too much?
38:45All right, we'll have to ride the storm then.
38:52Good boy.
38:53Good boy, Ollie.
38:58Good boy, Zach.
39:11Yeah.
39:12He's a good boy.
39:13Yeah.
39:14He's a good boy.
39:15Good boy, Ollie.
39:16Good boy.
39:17Good boy.
39:18OK, all right.
39:22After a brief armistice, peace talks break down.
39:26Well, we knew it wouldn't last forever, but that was good.
39:30And it's time to retreat to neutral territory.
39:35So, same plan as the house at the moment.
39:37Let them sort of blow out a little bit,
39:39tell them how clever they are, and then reset outside.
39:42Well, I felt more confident in there.
39:48I wasn't so het up. Right.
39:50Like I was in the house and garden initially, it was all new to us,
39:54but I feel it's getting better, and I certainly felt better.
39:59It is getting better, slowly.
40:01So I think we should try again.
40:03After a circuit breaker outside,
40:06Graham wants to see if they can increase their time together...
40:10That's it.
40:11..inside.
40:12Good boy.
40:22Give him a minute.
40:26Good boy.
40:28Oh, that's good.
40:34They're coming down quicker, aren't they?
40:36Yeah, they are.
40:39Good.
40:39Good boy.
40:40Yes, Dan.
40:41Good boy.
40:42Good boy.
40:44Good cat.
40:45Good boy.
40:46I think he really does want to stop,
40:48but he won't let us out of.
40:50All right.
40:51Graham believes the more time Zach and Ollie spend together...
40:55Sooner, Ollie, to give in.
40:57..the more they'll forget their feud.
41:00Good boy, Ollie, to give in the caravan.
41:01Good boy.
41:01Ordinarily, you'd have given up by now, wouldn't you?
41:04Good boy, absolutely.
41:05Yeah.
41:10Good boy.
41:11And Ollie's sat down.
41:12He's sitting down, yeah.
41:13Good boy.
41:14Good boy.
41:15Good boy.
41:18Good boy.
41:19Good boy.
41:20Do you know what?
41:21We should call it quits at that, I reckon.
41:23Good boy, Ollie.
41:26When I first saw the dogs in the caravan,
41:29there's absolutely no doubt in my mind
41:31that was two brothers at war.
41:33But it's getting better.
41:35Almost more importantly than that,
41:37Ann and Des know what to do now.
41:38They've got a method.
41:39They've got something to work on.
41:41He's a good boy.
41:42With the brothers now working towards a ceasefire,
41:46there's hope this once war-torn family
41:49can all live together in harmony.
41:52Good boy, darling.
41:54It was absolutely good.
41:58Good.
42:00I feel much more confident now.
42:03Yeah.
42:04I don't know where we would be
42:06if Graham hadn't have come out to us.
42:09I really don't.
42:10As long as we carry on working
42:12and get it a bit better for Ollie as well,
42:14then there's no real reason to sell the caravan.
42:17We can keep it.
42:18Hallelujah.
42:18We are going to keep it.
42:20Well, hopefully we've got your retirement dream
42:22back on track, haven't we?
42:23Well, thank you very much.
42:25Pleasure meeting you both.
42:26Very much so.
42:27Thank you so much for everything.
42:30Come on, boys.
42:30Bye-bye.
42:31Come on, then.
42:39Zach and Ollie are becoming brothers-in-arms at home.
42:43Good boys.
42:45But Ollie's ill health means caravan trips are currently on hold.
42:50Bluebell is looking forward to her next manicure,
42:53and Rupert is far less randy.
42:56Rupert is literally like a different dog.
42:58He doesn't jump up me.
42:59It has changed all of our life as a family.
43:02If you think your badly behaved dog could do with Graham's help,
43:05then why not get in touch?
