00:00Hey!
00:01Hi!
00:01Oh, Pandora!
00:03Pandora!
00:04Pandora!
00:04What you need to do is get control of Pandora.
00:07If dogs go wild...
00:11They are absolutely nuts.
00:13Is the dog around?
00:16I can't control them.
00:17Come on now, big boy.
00:18Nathan thinks he can read.
00:20Sure he can.
00:21He can't.
00:22He's a dog.
00:22Yes, he can.
00:23And get up.
00:24Oh, here we go.
00:25No, get down.
00:26To no good.
00:27Oh, it's me now, is it?
00:28I'm honoured.
00:29Or down.
00:30Oh, no.
00:31And dirty.
00:32He loves a big, large crap.
00:35Oh.
00:37Tank 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.
00:49Fantastic.
00:50Look at that.
00:51Or if your pooch...
00:53He's dropped one.
00:53He got a whiff.
00:54...has a personal problem.
00:56Some dogs have bacterias that are gas-producing.
01:00Just in case.
01:01One man...
01:02Hey, look at that.
01:04...will give it his all.
01:06Jack!
01:07Oi!
01:08Leave it.
01:09...and get answers...
01:10I think I might know what's going on.
01:12And it's not what you think.
01:13...to any doggy dilemma.
01:15Yeah, that's next level, innit?
01:20Jack!
01:20This week...
01:21Jack!
01:22...a master food thief...
01:24Jack!
01:25Oh, he's off the sausage.
01:26...pillaging picnics and wrecking reputations.
01:29Come on.
01:30It's not the biggest town, is it?
01:31Yeah, we're a bit notorious around these parts.
01:34...a border collie bully...
01:35Daddy!
01:37Poor daddy!
01:38He made contact, nipped me and he's broken the skin.
01:41...holding one man hostage.
01:44I think he wants to be the boss.
01:47Morning, everybody.
01:48Welcome back.
01:49...and at Graham's Puppy School...
01:51Today's all about teaching the puppies how to walk properly on Lee.
01:54...the pupils are tearing up the rule book.
01:57OK.
01:59We might want some red carpet adjustment in a minute.
02:02There we go.
02:05Graham's first case this week brings him to north-west Essex
02:09and the Dickensian streets of Saffron Walden.
02:12See, the nice thing about my job is I'm all round the country
02:15and I get to visit places like Saffron Walden.
02:17Lovely little place.
02:18I've just grabbed a bit of on-the-hoof breakfast.
02:22I'm running a wee bit late, so I'm going to have to crack on.
02:24I'll have that later.
02:25Well, I'm here to see a lady who's got a dog called Jack.
02:28He's a Labrador.
02:29Have a guess what the problem is.
02:31He's a bit obsessed with food.
02:33Quite how extreme it is, I'm not sure yet.
02:36Katie's a palliative care nurse
02:37and Jack is her four-year-old Labrador.
02:40Morning. Hello.
02:41Oh, hi. Katie, yes?
02:42And a wannabe bin thief.
02:44Jack, oh, he's after food in the bin.
02:47I thought he was going to try and get in that bin.
02:49Yeah, no, he would if he could.
02:51Who's also partial to pickpocketing.
02:53Have you got some food in there, Graham?
02:55I have.
02:56I tell you what, there's nothing wrong with his nose, is there?
02:59He's just so driven by food.
03:01Right.
03:02Walking around parks like this is a bit of a nightmare.
03:05Because off lead...
03:07Good boy.
03:07Jack turns into a right ripper.
03:10Jack! Jack, no!
03:12Oh, my goodness, I'm so sorry.
03:14And this greedy gobbler's not done.
03:16Picnic!
03:17Jack!
03:17When Jack's on the rampage...
03:19Jack!
03:20No picnic is safe.
03:22Oh!
03:23Jack, come here.
03:24Come here.
03:25I'm really sorry, guys.
03:26It's OK.
03:27Sorry about that.
03:28I'm ever so sorry.
03:29There's no stopping this artful dodger.
03:32No.
03:33Jack!
03:35Oh, he's off the sausage.
03:37Jack!
03:38How many sausages?
03:39Come on.
03:41Come on, you'll make yourself ill.
03:43Come on.
03:44I'm sorry.
03:45What?
03:46Well, I don't know about him, but I've burnt some calories off today.
03:49Crikey!
03:49Is this every time?
03:51Yeah.
03:51It's an absolute nightmare.
03:53I mean, we've just ruined three people's picnics.
03:55Yeah?
03:56I can't get over how fast he is.
03:57Yeah.
03:58I mean, it's like, as soon as he smells or sees food...
04:02Yeah.
04:02..he just recall goes out of the window.
04:04And I just have no control over him and it's mortifying.
04:10It's not the biggest town, is it?
04:11People must kind of know you and Jack, do they?
04:14Yeah.
04:15We're a bit notorious around these parts, yeah.
04:20In public, Jack's behaviour has made Katie a pariah.
04:24Hi!
04:24Hi, guys!
04:25But that doesn't mean he's any better in private.
04:28Hi, nice to meet you.
04:29Hi, nice to meet you.
04:30Hi, nice to meet you.
04:30Hello, kids, are you all right?
04:31Yeah.
04:32Hey, Sammy, kids.
04:33Good boy, and sit.
04:34Good boy.
04:35Oh, he listens to you.
04:36Yeah, sometimes.
04:37Because there's no food around.
04:38There's no food on the table at the moment.
04:41Maybe not on the table, but Graham's forgotten something.
04:45Hi, Sammy!
04:46Oh, hang on!
04:47Oh, f***!
04:48Oh, my God!
04:50Well, that's a good start!
04:52It's not a good start, is it?
04:54He's very cheeky.
04:55Cheeky?
04:56He just can't stop.
04:57I had two sausage rolls in there.
04:59Yeah, this is the thing.
04:59That goes beyond cheeky.
05:01No-one's going hungry, though.
05:03Oh, here we go.
05:04Food arriving.
05:05Unless Jack gets it first.
05:08Jack.
05:09No.
05:09Which he does.
05:10Again.
05:11Oh, watch him.
05:12Jack, Jack, no.
05:13Oh, he got a chip.
05:13And again.
05:15No, Jack.
05:17And again.
05:18Whoa, whoa, whoa.
05:18No!
05:19No!
05:20Oh, Jack.
05:21No.
05:22Jack never takes no for an answer.
05:25Oh, blimey.
05:26Once he started, he doesn't stop, does he?
05:28Jack.
05:29Jack.
05:30See, he does know I'm a pushover.
05:32He does.
05:34Jack!
05:34Oh!
05:36Bang goes the rat.
05:37I suppose I shouldn't be surprised, but what I am surprised about is how fast he is and
05:42how relentless he is.
05:44Jack's appetite is truly relentless.
05:46In the park.
05:48Jack!
05:49Oh!
05:49Oh!
05:49At home.
05:50He's not home!
05:52No!
05:52And at the table.
05:53Oh, watch him.
05:54Jack.
05:54And Graham wants to know where it all began.
05:57So, how did he come into your life?
05:59Jack.
06:00So, I got Jack just shy of five years ago now.
06:05Dad hadn't long died.
06:07Oh.
06:08And I remember I really liked the fact that he wanted to be by my side all of the time.
06:13We'd sit together while I would eat and invariably I'd give him the odd tit bit.
06:17It sounds to me like you've been on a sliding scale from like, I feed him bits.
06:23Yeah.
06:23To, he asks for bits and I give them to him.
06:26And then finally, well, he just grabs whatever he wants whenever he wants.
06:28Yeah.
06:29Exactly that.
06:30So, this has been getting worse for five years.
06:32Yes.
06:33But it's certainly been getting worse the last, I'd say, 18 months, two years.
06:37Right.
06:38Jack's behaviour is spiralling.
06:40Jack!
06:40And Graham's worried it could go from embarrassing to dangerous.
06:45Jack!
06:45What if he eats the wrong thing?
06:47You know, something that's poisonous to dogs.
06:49Or worse still, he goes to snatch some food off somebody.
06:53He catches them, causes a bit of an injury.
06:56Well, I don't need to tell you how that story ends.
07:00Coming up...
07:01We need to stop his thought process.
07:05Can Graham put an end to Jack's picnic pilfering?
07:09Jack!
07:09Stop!
07:10In Scotland, Graham meets a bully boy border collie.
07:14Every time I come over, he'll run at my dad and push him with his two potters.
07:18Whose family is facing an impossible decision.
07:21We could try and read home on what the clock is ticking.
07:25At Graham's training school...
07:27Leave. Leave.
07:28Come on.
07:29The pups are unleashed.
07:30She doesn't want to leave.
07:32On lead training...
07:33We ready for this.
07:38Oh, no.
07:39Oh, Jack!
07:39In Essex...
07:40Jack!
07:41Jack the Labrador...
07:42No!
07:42I'm so sorry.
07:43...is a shameless food thief.
07:45Jack!
07:46His smash-and-grab tactics...
07:48Jack!
07:48...are leaving Katie red-faced...
07:51I'm ever so sorry.
07:52...and Jack's boulder by the bite.
07:54Jack!
07:55Oh, bang goes the rat.
07:57I'm really sorry.
07:58For Graham, this isn't just about food.
08:01It's about the thrill of the steal.
08:04So if you could speak to him, you'd go, Jack, why do you steal food?
08:07He's like, is it not obvious?
08:09Because I get to eat stuff and I get Mum to chase me around.
08:12It's just fantastic.
08:14He doesn't respect me, does he?
08:15No, not really.
08:17No.
08:18My mission is getting this dog to look at you and go, respect is due.
08:22OK.
08:23So I need to channel my assertiveness?
08:25Yeah.
08:26Graham reckons Jack's playing games and he's in charge.
08:30Jack!
08:31Jack, no!
08:32Off lead, it's about the chase.
08:34Jack!
08:35Oh!
08:36At the table...
08:37Oh, watch him.
08:37...chaos pays.
08:38Oh, he got a chip.
08:39First up, Graham's ending the chase game and giving Jack a better one to play.
08:45Before he was running a muck because he got food and he got a game out of it.
08:49Yeah.
08:49And it was all on his terms.
08:50So I think if we turn that on his head and we say to him,
08:53if you come to us when we call you, you get a game, but also there's some food in there.
09:00So there's bits of tree in there.
09:03All right.
09:04And there we go, there's one.
09:05And if he rolls it round long enough, it'll fall out.
09:09So on our terms, he comes back, he's rewarded by food and play.
09:14OK.
09:14On a long lead, first Graham plans to bed in the game without food distractions.
09:20So now he's wandering off, look.
09:22Jack!
09:22Jack!
09:23Hey!
09:24Good boy!
09:25What's that?
09:26There you go!
09:27Great fun, right?
09:29So he's getting the game out of it.
09:31Good boy!
09:32And there's treats inside and he knows it.
09:34This only works if Jack chooses Graham's game over his own.
09:39Right.
09:39OK.
09:39Game over.
09:40In a minute, the game starts again.
09:42On our terms, not on his.
09:44Yeah.
09:45Graham is introducing a game on command.
09:48If I give you that, Katie.
09:49Yep.
09:50All right.
09:50I'll do the line, which makes life a bit easier.
09:53OK.
09:53Good boy!
09:54So Jack and game on, yeah?
09:55Yeah.
09:56So Jack, game on, but nice and bright and happy.
09:58OK.
09:59And without other food around.
10:01Good boy!
10:02Game on!
10:03Fantastic.
10:04Jack is playing along.
10:06There you go.
10:07There's a treat here somewhere.
10:08The truth is, as much fun as that is, it's never going to be quite the same as somebody's
10:14picnic.
10:15Right?
10:16Cue the temptation.
10:18A plate of really tasty chicken.
10:21So I think before we call, game on, we need to stop his thought process.
10:27OK.
10:28So it's stop and then we go, Jack, game on.
10:31OK.
10:32For this to stick, human food must be completely off limits, no matter what.
10:38We wander and then stop again.
10:40There we go.
10:42Jack!
10:43Stop!
10:44So we don't need to carry on shouting.
10:47But when he turns away...
10:49It's just like, oh, yeah, but, yeah, but, but, stop.
10:53Good boy!
10:55Good boy!
10:55Game on!
10:56Jack discovers a new food game.
10:58And this one's allowed.
11:00With the rules locked in...
11:02Go on, mate.
11:02...Katy steps up as team captain.
11:05First, she puts human food offside...
11:08Stop!
11:09Then she makes the treat ball the only way to score.
11:13Wait for it.
11:14Now, come on.
11:14Good boy, Jack!
11:15Come on!
11:17Jack!
11:17Good boy!
11:19Good boy!
11:19Come on!
11:20Good boy!
11:21Graham's game is starting to pay off.
11:23Now for the ultimate test.
11:25Let's try this with a picnic.
11:27OK.
11:29Jack!
11:29Around picnics, Jack's game is at its most frantic.
11:33Jack!
11:34Smash.
11:35Grab.
11:35Chase.
11:36Jack!
11:38Let's head on towards the picnic, then.
11:42Good boy.
11:43Right, off he goes.
11:44If we stop.
11:45The challenge is on.
11:46Now can Katie convince him that her game is more fun?
11:52Stop!
11:53That's it.
11:53Jack!
11:54Yes!
11:54Game on!
11:54Good boy!
11:55Good boy!
11:56Game on.
11:57Team Katie scores.
11:59Good!
12:00What do you think?
12:01I'm bamboozled by all of you.
12:03You're like, I can't believe this.
12:06Yeah, it doesn't compute.
12:07But can she win the match on her own?
12:10Off you go.
12:11OK.
12:12Come on then, Jack.
12:13Good lad, Jack.
12:14Good boy.
12:14Good boy.
12:16There you go.
12:18Stop.
12:20Good boy!
12:22Yay!
12:22Good boy!
12:25Good boy!
12:26Good boy!
12:27He's ignoring it.
12:28He is.
12:29It's amazing, isn't it?
12:29Now he's ignoring a picnic.
12:30With consistent training, Graham believes the long lead will soon be redundant.
12:36Stop.
12:36Good boy!
12:37Good boy!
12:38I can't quite believe that that happened the way it happened.
12:41I imagined that he was just going to be charging into the picnic like this morning.
12:45Yeah.
12:45I didn't expect Graham to have worked such quick progress in Jack.
12:49Good boy!
12:50Good boy!
12:51Graham's training is going to change ultimately everything about my life.
12:56But Jack the Ripper's games aren't over yet.
12:59Oh, watch him.
13:00At the table there's no chase, just jumping, pestering and demanding attention.
13:05Jack!
13:06And that needs a very different kind of training.
13:09So, I've got something else in mind.
13:11I'll come back another time.
13:16Graham's next case is a hefty seven hour drive to Scotland, hugging the rugged coastline
13:23of South Ayrshire.
13:26Well, you take the low road, I'll take the high road and I'll be in Scotland for you.
13:30Well, I already am.
13:31I'm here.
13:33You know, I've never seen so many wind turbines in my life.
13:36Talk about renewable energy, there's no shortage of wind here.
13:41But it's not just the wind whipping things up.
13:45Two and a half year old Locky the Border Collie is stirring up a storm of his own.
13:52Quantity Surveyor Gordon is effectively being held hostage by his own dog.
14:00Standing up, moving, leaving the room or even catching his eye,
14:05Locky turns into a barking, shoving, bitey bully.
14:10I don't know why he bullies me, because I'm the one that takes him walks most of the time.
14:15I'm the one that generally feeds him.
14:18I feel I've got the short straw.
14:20Gordon must stay frozen stiff.
14:23So wife Helen has to pick up the slack.
14:26When we sit down for dinner, Locky will approach Gordon and he jumps up on him.
14:33All the time he would just bark.
14:37Gordon traditionally has always cleared the table and when the plates start to clink together,
14:45Locky's on the attack again.
14:48When I leave to go out to work, go shopping, go out on my bike, he takes exception to that.
14:59On one occasion when I was leaving, I was down the side of the house and I heard the sound
15:04of breaking glass and he'd actually smashed the window pane.
15:08And even outside, Gordon can't escape without a nasty nip.
15:15Daddy, poor daddy.
15:17He made contact, nipped me and he's broken the skin slightly.
15:21Why Locky's got beef with Gordon is a mystery.
15:25But Helen fears the worst.
15:28He sees Gordon as the boss of the house and he's not happy with that.
15:34It's dominance.
15:35He wants to be in control of what happens in this house.
15:40And with retirement looming, the couple have even questioned Locky's future.
15:45We could give up now.
15:47That's one solution.
15:48Give up.
15:49Try and rehome him or whatever the clock is ticking.
15:53And we need to do something now.
15:56So can Graham figure out why Locky has Gordon in his sights?
16:01Hello.
16:02Delighted to meet you, Graham.
16:04Helen.
16:04Nice to meet you too.
16:05Come on in and get some breakfast.
16:06Breakfast.
16:07Lovely.
16:08Hello, Locky.
16:09Hello.
16:10Well, my first impression of Locky was a friendly dog.
16:13Hi.
16:14Until Gordon stood up from the table and then you see a completely different side of him.
16:20So he's barking at you all the time then?
16:22Yes.
16:23Whenever somebody comes in the house.
16:25Say again, sorry.
16:26Whenever somebody comes in the house.
16:28Funny, because he didn't bark at me.
16:30No, no, it's me.
16:31It's always you.
16:31It's always me.
16:33Why?
16:34Why?
16:34Don't know.
16:35I'll go get some milk.
16:36Righto.
16:38Oh!
16:39Oh!
16:39Blimey, diggles again.
16:41Looks like he went to bite him then.
16:44What did he go for you again?
16:45Yes.
16:46Well, it was all hell let loose.
16:47I mean, he's jumping up, he's barking.
16:49I saw him try and nip Gordon a couple of times.
16:53I'll make some more.
16:54Enjoy.
16:58This is why it's very difficult to have friends.
17:03And it's all aimed at Gordon isn't it?
17:05It seems to me there are triggers for his bad behaviour.
17:09Gordon getting up from a sitting position.
17:13Really?
17:14If I am around is a trigger.
17:17If you're around?
17:18If I'm around.
17:20I'll go and get some more coffee.
17:22Just a little, thank you.
17:24OK.
17:25I'll just top this up.
17:26Oh, he's going to go again.
17:30Blimey, he went to nip him then.
17:32I mean, I'm surprised you're clearly not.
17:34This is normal, is it?
17:35This, Graham, has become our life.
17:38So I'm looking at Locky doing what he's doing,
17:40and I'm thinking, blimey, as you do.
17:42But me being me, I'm like, why?
17:44Why is he doing this?
17:46And to add to the mystery,
17:48it's not just movement that sets Locky off.
17:51Oh, no, Ayla's about to arrive.
17:53Oh, you'll get a reaction now, Graham.
17:55Hello, I don't want to be cheating.
17:57Visitors, especially daughter Ayla,
18:00push him over the edge.
18:02What?
18:03He thought about biting you again, didn't he?
18:05Yeah, he did.
18:06Yeah.
18:08Yes, every time, Graham.
18:10So how do you cope with this?
18:11What do you do?
18:11I just retreat upstairs out the way.
18:14It's beginning to dawn on me
18:15what, for Gordon, life is like with Locky.
18:18I mean, he keeps saying,
18:19it makes me feel uncomfortable,
18:21and I'm like, mate, you're not kidding.
18:23Any time someone visits,
18:27Locky's barking and lunging
18:29force Gordon out of the room
18:30and upstairs into hiding.
18:35Blimey.
18:36The pattern is very clearly,
18:39Gordon's the problem.
18:41He really is bearing the brunt
18:43of all of this aggressive-like behaviour.
18:46As I watched Graham sitting and watching,
18:49it actually went through my head,
18:51what is Graham making of this?
18:54A few ladies would like to leave for a moment.
18:56Yep.
18:56Right, let's just...
18:57I'd love to see what happens when you're not here.
18:58Is that all right?
18:59Yes, absolutely.
19:00Give us a few minutes, yeah?
19:01Absolutely.
19:03With Helen and Ayla out of the house,
19:05Locky immediately switches off.
19:07You can see there's Jekyll and Hyde.
19:11So often when you've got a dog
19:12who targets one person,
19:15it's because that person's done something bad to the dog
19:18and the dog's never forgiven them.
19:20So why do you think he does it?
19:22He maybe thinks I'm a threat to Helen and Ayla.
19:25I don't know.
19:26There's no reason he would have it in for you.
19:28No, no, I haven't...
19:29He hasn't seen me be violent to anybody.
19:32I'm sure.
19:32I think I'm a pretty good judge of character.
19:34You seem like a very nice, patient, kind person.
19:39Let's get Helen and Ayla back and we'll have a chat
19:41because I think I might know what's going on
19:44and it's not what you think.
19:45OK, I'll be interested to hear that, yeah,
19:47because we've been trying to work it out
19:49and we haven't a clue.
19:51Coming up, the real reason Lachie's been bullying Gordon...
19:55So why would he be so bothered about a person leaving?
19:57..is a jaw-dropper.
19:59It all makes sense.
20:01What Graham told us, it was quite a surprise.
20:05Yes, uh-huh.
20:05At puppy school, it's lead training.
20:08It's a legal requirement.
20:09We've really got to get this one right.
20:11Where Graham's got his hands full.
20:13Hey, that's my red carpet, that is.
20:16And he's back with food thief Jack.
20:18Ah.
20:20It's almost like I'm seeing what I've created.
20:23But can years of bad habits be undone?
20:26It's my own fault, isn't it?
20:29Kind of, yeah.
20:32Um...
20:34In South Ayrshire, Graham's facing a full-blown border collie mystery.
20:39What did he go for you again?
20:41Yes.
20:41Lachie's turned on one man in particular.
20:45Larry.
20:46Gordon can't move freely in his own home,
20:48and any attempt to leave ends badly.
20:53He made contact, nipped me, and he's broken the skin slightly.
20:58Helen and Gordon believe Lachie's bullying behaviour is a bid for power.
21:02But Graham thinks they've got it completely wrong.
21:06Hmm.
21:07Why just Gordon?
21:08There's a trigger, and it's not quite what you think.
21:11It's to do with movement.
21:12It happens every time you're leaving, or he thinks you're about to move and leave.
21:17So why would he be so bothered about a person leaving?
21:20Well, it's the one in the flock that's straggling, isn't it?
21:23I think he sees you as the lamb.
21:25He's a farm-bred dog.
21:27Mm-hm.
21:27That was a big clue, you know.
21:29He's like, somehow I've got to keep this flock together.
21:32I don't think he thinks he's a bully.
21:33He just thinks he's doing his job.
21:35Yeah.
21:36Stopping me from escaping the house.
21:37Mm-hm.
21:38Well, it all makes sense.
21:39It's all about a game, yeah.
21:41There you go.
21:42I've been racking my brains, really.
21:45I didn't expect what Graham told us.
21:48It was quite a surprise.
21:50Yes, uh-huh.
21:51I thought he thought I was the dominant one.
21:52But no, I'm the sheep that's escaping from the flock.
21:56We need him to understand that all this jumping at you,
22:00pouring out your barking, not allowed.
22:03So somebody has got to be the shepherd.
22:06Yeah.
22:07I don't think that person should be Gordon,
22:09because I've got a concern that if Gordon really stands up to him,
22:12somebody could get hurt.
22:14For the training, Graham wants Isla to take on the role of shepherdess.
22:19My thinking, oh, hello, come to join us, have you?
22:21No.
22:23Oi.
22:24Stand down.
22:25Good boy.
22:27Now, he's only being friendly right now,
22:29but he does a version of that to you when he says friendly.
22:32Ah.
22:33Stand down.
22:34And I'm walking into him.
22:35Good boy.
22:36The message there was really clear, wasn't it?
22:38As soon as he jumps up, the tone of voice and the look on the face says,
22:41I don't really approve.
22:42Mm-hm.
22:42And the body language moving forward is making him go backwards.
22:46As he backs off, good boy, and we give him a little tickle.
22:48To break Lockie's herding instinct when Gordon moves...
22:52Go on, you're going to stand up in a second.
22:54Graham wants Isla to get between them and tell Lockie to stand down.
22:59Stand up, please.
23:00Couple of steps.
23:02Oh, here we go.
23:03Right, Isla, you're on.
23:04Stand down.
23:06Step between.
23:07Stand down.
23:07Well done.
23:08Stand down.
23:09Wait for it.
23:09Wait for it.
23:10Stand down.
23:11Stand down.
23:12And step...
23:13Oh, he's walked off.
23:14Well done.
23:15It worked.
23:16Ha!
23:17Good.
23:18Lockie backed down, but Graham thinks Isla can do better.
23:22You were good, but the thing to guard against, he's like,
23:25stand down, stand down, stand down!
23:26Stand down!
23:27That's the road to ruin.
23:29Yeah.
23:29I think we'll do it again.
23:30Stand up.
23:31There we go.
23:32Right, Isla, you're on.
23:34Stand down.
23:35That's probably enough.
23:36Wait for it.
23:37OK, step.
23:38Stand down.
23:39Now he's walked off again.
23:41So that was a wee bit easier, yeah?
23:42Yeah.
23:43By stepping between Lockie and Gordon...
23:46Stand down.
23:46..the message is clear.
23:48Herding Dad isn't his job.
23:50Here we go, right.
23:51Stand down.
23:52And when he stops...
23:53Stand down.
23:53..he earns praise instead.
23:56Boy.
23:57We're getting there, Lock.
23:58We really are.
24:00I think, like, before we would just have been scared to do that.
24:03And I wouldn't advise doing it when he's super excited.
24:08Now, with Isla's intervention, Gordon can stand and move...
24:12Stand down.
24:13..without a bust-up.
24:15It's a vast difference from just a few hours ago,
24:18when even the slightest movement from Gordon
24:21sent Lockie into a frantic barking and shoving frenzy.
24:26So the important thing...
24:27Good boy.
24:28..is never to push your look.
24:30Never run before you can walk.
24:31No, no, that's the time.
24:32But this time I might get used to it at Gordon.
24:34It's a big ask.
24:36But Graham has a hunch.
24:38I think that the way that Lockie sees Gordon has completely changed.
24:41..and he's betting that Lockie won't react this time.
24:45Yeah, go on then, Gordon.
24:47Yeah.
24:48Good boy!
24:50Huh?
24:52Amazing!
24:53Great!
24:53It's a major breakthrough.
24:55Well, I'll tell you what, then.
24:57We'll follow him through.
24:58Cups of tea.
25:00Lockie used to see him as the vulnerable sheep
25:03that needed to be brought back into the fold,
25:04and now I think he's looking in a completely different way.
25:07He's like, I got this all wrong.
25:08You're the shepherd.
25:09With Lockie seeing Gordon differently,
25:12Graham's confident things are looking up for them all.
25:16Cheers, everybody!
25:17Cheers!
25:18Cheers!
25:18Hope you've enjoyed your day.
25:20That was a result, wasn't it?
25:21Indeed it was.
25:23Yes, I had a vast improvement.
25:24I mean, it really is life-changing.
25:26I can stay in the company of Helen and Isla when Isla comes in.
25:30You've helped us greatly.
25:32Ah, you're welcome.
25:32It's my pleasure.
25:33Love being in Scotland.
25:34The best of times.
25:35Well, Gordon put it there.
25:37You're welcome.
25:37We've enjoyed your company.
25:38Yeah, thank you.
25:39Ellen, all the best, darling.
25:40Thank you so much.
25:41You've been a star.
25:42Right.
25:43Bye, everybody.
25:45See you.
25:45Good to see you.
25:46Bye.
25:47It's a good thing Graham's fuelled up.
25:50He's got a big drive ahead of him.
25:54On the edge of the Cotswolds, a new day is dawning
25:57and Graham's getting ready to teach his third puppy school lesson.
26:01The first year of a puppy's life is absolutely crucial
26:04because that's when they do most of their growing and learning.
26:09Returning today, our farm dog, Mr Todd.
26:11Good boy.
26:12Whirlwind Hungarian Vichela Loki.
26:16Bouncy Labradoodle Sydney.
26:18Good boy.
26:19And rescue pup Winnie.
26:21We're all ready to see your friends, aren't we?
26:23Let's see what we're doing today.
26:25Good girl.
26:26Starting school at just three months old,
26:28these pups have already mastered socialisation and basic commands.
26:34Well, today's lesson, everybody, is lead walking.
26:37Oh, good.
26:38That's what we need.
26:39That's what we need.
26:39Really important because it builds a bond with your dog.
26:42It helps them to focus.
26:44But let's be honest, it's a safety thing as well.
26:46And there's lots of places in the UK where it's a legal requirement.
26:49So we've really got to get this one right.
26:52All right.
26:53Follow me, everybody.
26:54We'll make a start.
26:55Lead training is a key milestone.
26:58If a puppy can't walk calmly past other dogs or big distractions,
27:04they're a problem waiting to pull you over.
27:07Keep up, Graham!
27:08Put it in.
27:10Or cause a scene.
27:11Ow!
27:12Sorry.
27:13And Graham has two key elements to teach today.
27:16First lesson, keep your lead loose.
27:19It doesn't really matter what the length of the lead is.
27:21Where you hold it is the important thing.
27:23Ideally, what I'd describe as a J-shaped lead.
27:25So I'm expecting to see it drop down very slightly and go up to you.
27:28Yeah?
27:29If it's too tight, your dog pulls all the time.
27:31So it means that you can hold the dog with one hand and you can relax.
27:36I feel more secure with two hands on his lead.
27:39Yeah.
27:39You feel more secure with two hands, but it's a bit of an illusion.
27:42Ready?
27:43Ready?
27:43Catherine may use two hands, but holding on for dear life isn't calming her puppy.
27:50How do you feel that went?
27:52Terrible, as usual.
27:54Catherine and Pete want Sydney to be the perfect pal for Ruby and Daphne.
27:58But walks are already causing concern.
28:01When we walk Sydney, he'll see another dog and he's like...
28:04And he'll try to jump across the road.
28:06That's it.
28:06And be like...
28:07Yeah.
28:08And if Daphne's holding the lead, she's nine, she is strong,
28:12but I think Sydney will be bigger and stronger than her.
28:15Yeah, he's strong already, isn't he?
28:16For Sydney, this is the moment lead control needs to click.
28:21So Graham has set up a cat walk, or in this case, a dog walk, to show how.
28:28Shall I have a go?
28:29Shall we do Sydney?
28:31Come on then.
28:33Good boy.
28:34That's all right.
28:35Good.
28:36OK.
28:37Come on.
28:38So he's still as bouncy as he was with you, but he's on a shorter lead, which isn't tight,
28:43so he's only got so many options as to how much mischief he can get up to.
28:47But...
28:48No.
28:49..in Sydney's case...
28:50No.
28:51..he's ripping up the rule book.
28:53No.
28:54Oh.
28:55We might want some red carpet adjustment in a minute.
28:58He's got a bit in his mouth.
29:00He's got a new toy there, but a red carpet.
29:02He does have everything he wants to pick up.
29:05If Sydney pulls, he gets a gentle warning.
29:09No.
29:10No.
29:11And walking nicely gets praise.
29:14Oh, good boy, Sydney.
29:15And after a few turns with a loose lead, Sydney's strutting.
29:19Clever boy.
29:21This is better.
29:22Like an old craft.
29:25That was very good, I thought.
29:27Now with a loose lead, can Catherine strut her stuff?
29:32Come on.
29:33Let's go.
29:34Good boy.
29:34Come on.
29:35Straight off, there's an issue.
29:37Come on.
29:38That's it.
29:38Drop your arm, Catherine.
29:39There you go.
29:40Good boy.
29:40Good boy.
29:41That's it.
29:41But as she loosens up...
29:43Oh, that's it.
29:44..she shows it's all about confidence.
29:46Keep moving.
29:47That's it.
29:47That's it.
29:48Good boy.
29:49Come on.
29:50Better.
29:51Good boy.
29:52There you are.
29:52There you go.
29:53Good boy.
29:54You can do it.
29:54It might seem counterintuitive, but as Lorraine releases the tension on the lead with Loki...
30:00That's it.
30:01Good boy.
30:02...Rob encourages Winnie...
30:03Oh, very good.
30:04Good girl.
30:05...and Mary praises Mr Todd...
30:07Good boy.
30:08...Graham's methods are paying off.
30:11That was really good.
30:12We've got you moving quite nicely now, but there are times when, well, of course you've
30:16got to stop.
30:16Graham's second lesson is all about teaching your pup to fall in step with you.
30:22Now, for me, you don't need to say anything.
30:25I would love to get the dogs to just see what we're doing and stop automatically when we stop.
30:30But in order to do that, they've got to pay attention to where the legs are.
30:33So, let me demonstrate with one of the dogs.
30:36This lesson is especially important for rescue pup Winnie.
30:41We know nothing of a background apart from she was found by dog warden on the side of the road
30:47in London.
30:49For Winnie, walks can be overwhelming.
30:53She's just absolutely petrified of traffic, which I think takes her back to when she was just abandoned.
31:02She just gets stressed.
31:04When a dog learns to move and stop with you, it builds trust.
31:08And Winnie needs that more than most.
31:11So, if I take a couple of steps and I stop, she'll probably overshoot.
31:16So, overshot, right?
31:18So, all I've done is I've caught her on the harness and just brought her to a stop.
31:22Right?
31:22Come on.
31:25Not quite.
31:26So, I've stopped her again.
31:27But what's going to happen is when she stops for herself...
31:29Good girl.
31:30Come on.
31:33No, not yet.
31:34So, I'll stop her again.
31:35I've got to turn around.
31:36Come on.
31:36By mirroring Graham's movement, Winnie gets praise.
31:41Yay!
31:41Good girl.
31:42And now stops on cue.
31:46Yay!
31:47Good girl.
31:48Super.
31:49Right, go on then.
31:49You can go back to your mum and dad now.
31:51Oh, hello, dad.
31:53Very good.
31:54Right.
31:55Now it's over to Winnie's mum, Karen.
31:58Right.
31:59Ready when you are.
32:01That's it.
32:01Yeah.
32:02When you're going to go, go.
32:04And stop.
32:07Oh, nearly.
32:08OK.
32:09Stop.
32:11Good girl.
32:12Good girl.
32:12She's learning not to move until you move.
32:15Yeah.
32:16Try again.
32:17Off she goes.
32:18Stop.
32:20There we are.
32:20Good girl.
32:24Good girl.
32:25How's it feel at your end?
32:26Feels good.
32:27Yeah.
32:27Doesn't feel like much pull on it.
32:29Yeah.
32:30And for the rest of the pups, this stop-start training is also going to lead to more controlled
32:35and safer walks.
32:37And stop.
32:39Yeah, lovely.
32:40Good boy.
32:40Yeah.
32:41Good boy.
32:42Well, we've all got dogs who you can start and stop now without dragging you all over
32:46the path.
32:46So, all we need to do now is add in some real-life distractions.
32:51It's all very well to be able to walk your dog in a straight line, but out in the real
32:56world, there's all manner of distractions to pull your pooch off course.
33:01So, it's test time.
33:04Footballs, picnics, and a new friend, Rudy, stand in the way.
33:07Well, this will be interesting.
33:09Can all four pups make it round?
33:11If you can walk your dogs past this lot without being unduly pulled everywhere, I think we've
33:15had a good day.
33:16To pass the test, the pups must walk past every distraction calmly, lose control, and
33:23it's back to the start.
33:25All right, Lorraine.
33:26Off you go.
33:27Loki.
33:27Give it your best.
33:28First to make an attempt is Loki.
33:30Come on.
33:31That's it.
33:32Keep going.
33:32Who's a live wire.
33:34Loki.
33:34Oh, it's the ball.
33:35I'm interested.
33:36This way.
33:36This way.
33:36This way.
33:40Good boy.
33:41Come on.
33:42Loki.
33:43Not bothered about Rudy at all.
33:46That's it.
33:46He's interested in the ball, isn't he?
33:48So, it's back to square one.
33:50Right.
33:50Off you go.
33:52The distractions for Loki, they had a big impact on him focusing and him listening.
33:58In fact, Loki's lost it.
34:01All right.
34:02Got overexcited.
34:04All right.
34:04Bring him back.
34:05We'll give him a rest.
34:05We'll go again in a bit.
34:06It was really hard to get his focus.
34:08As Loki takes a moment to cool down, next up is Mary and farm dog Mr. Todd.
34:15Good boy.
34:16Unlike Loki, Mr. Todd doesn't seem too distracted.
34:20Keep going.
34:21Good boy.
34:21Broody dog.
34:22Good boy.
34:23Oh, that was nice.
34:24Good.
34:25Said hello, moved on.
34:26Good boy.
34:27Fantastic.
34:28Well done.
34:28Next up, bouncy Sydney, who's made remarkable progress since this morning.
34:34Good boy.
34:35Blimey.
34:37Catherine, you're going to be getting phone calls from people asking if you can handle
34:40their dogs at Christmas.
34:41I'll be there.
34:42That was fantastic, wasn't it?
34:44Winnie is braving it next.
34:46That's it, Winnie.
34:47Off you go.
34:48Good girl, Winnie.
34:50Good girl, Winnie.
34:50And after a little hesitation with big boy Rudy.
34:53Go on.
34:54She was just trying to hide around Karen.
34:56Makes it through on her second attempt.
34:59Good girl.
35:01Well done.
35:01OK, Lorraine.
35:02The only pup not to have made it around is Loki, who's had a little time out.
35:08That's it.
35:10Well, that's nice.
35:11After a few failed attempts.
35:14Sit.
35:15Good boy.
35:17Lorraine's gained back control.
35:19That's the picnic.
35:20Very good.
35:20Oh, what we doing, Mum?
35:21Finally, they've made it round without a flip out.
35:25Well done.
35:26That was hard thought, but you got there.
35:29Fantastic.
35:30You've come a long way in one day.
35:32If you keep practising this, where will you be in three or four weeks when we meet again?
35:36Good.
35:37Well done, everybody.
35:39I'm hoping that with some of the tools that I've learnt today, that his lead walking will
35:44improve.
35:45Come on.
35:46We just need to continue with what we've been taught.
35:49Yeah.
35:49Because it works, because we've seen the progression.
35:53Sit.
35:53Come on, then.
35:53Good boy.
35:56Coming up, Graham's back in Essex.
35:59Right.
35:59Here we are.
36:00In a pub.
36:0125 people.
36:02For a face-off to end.
36:03We're going to have to be on our A game now.
36:05Jack's outrageous table manners.
36:08We might have to just go through this.
36:14Graham's nearly off the clock, but there's one last stop in Essex with Jack.
36:18Jack!
36:20Jack!
36:20A Labrador.
36:21Jack!
36:22With an appetite for chaos.
36:24Oh, no.
36:25Jack!
36:25Mugging kids for cakes.
36:27Jack!
36:27Pilfering picnics.
36:29And flat-out ram-raiding tables for food.
36:32No!
36:33Last time, Graham stopped him playing with human food by giving him a new game with new rules.
36:39Stop.
36:40Good boy!
36:42Now he's back to focus on Jack's table manners.
36:45Jack.
36:45Which have brought Katie's social life to a standstill.
36:49Jack!
36:50Oh!
36:50Oh!
36:52For sure, last time we saw Graham, he worked magic, but within a closed environment,
37:00lots of people, easy access to food.
37:03I'm just not sure how it's going to go.
37:05So Katie's brought back up her friend's son, Ted.
37:09Hiya.
37:09Hi again, Graham.
37:11I thought I'd treat us to a bite to eat.
37:13It's quite swanky in here.
37:15Okay.
37:15It's a place where you might need table manners.
37:17I need to teach Jack that jumping up on the table trying to steal food is clearly not
37:22acceptable.
37:23Right.
37:24Here we are.
37:25In a pub.
37:25How are you feeling?
37:27Yeah.
37:28A little bit nervous.
37:29When he was last here, Graham clocked something important.
37:32Jack!
37:33Jack isn't just after food.
37:36It's all a game for attention.
37:38But the irony, of course, is that on the rare occasions he is good like this, when
37:42you're in company with food, he gets ignored.
37:44Graham is setting up a new game, no means no.
37:48From now on, jumping, barking and pestering gets zero attention or treats.
37:54When he backs down, we need to let him know that that was a great decision.
37:58So we're going to tell him he's a good boy and we can give him a treat.
38:01Now, no if he's jumping up.
38:04Good boy when he's sitting on down.
38:06Graham's starting with just dog treats on the table.
38:09No.
38:10So, we have to move him off, Jack, now.
38:13If need be, we can physically move him off.
38:15I don't mean anything nasty.
38:16No.
38:16That's it, yeah.
38:18No.
38:20Good boy.
38:21In a second.
38:22Yeah.
38:23If he keeps it up, we'll give him a little treat.
38:25OK.
38:25The rule is clear, jumping up gets nothing.
38:29No.
38:30Better.
38:31No.
38:32That's it.
38:33Good boy.
38:34Backing off and staying quiet, that's what gets rewarded.
38:38No.
38:39That's it.
38:40Sit.
38:41OK.
38:42Good boy.
38:42Good boy.
38:43There you go.
38:44Good boy.
38:45Jack needs to figure out.
38:47Ah, no.
38:48No means.
38:49No.
38:50And anything other than sitting quietly.
38:53No.
38:54No.
38:55Earns nothing.
38:57Ah.
38:59We might have to just go through this.
39:02It's a bit awkward, but it's worth it in the long run.
39:06It's like, no, I will just snatch the food.
39:08I will have it whenever I want.
39:09You know?
39:09Very rude.
39:10I want what I want and I want it now.
39:13That's exactly what he said.
39:14Yeah.
39:15It's almost like I'm seeing what I've created.
39:19Yeah.
39:20It's my own fault, isn't it?
39:22Kind of, yeah.
39:23Will Jack ever figure out.
39:25No.
39:26Bad behaviour.
39:29Won't get him treats or attention.
39:32We're effectively overcoming five years of programming.
39:35.
39:36But after a few noisy minutes.
39:40So that's good.
39:41Good boy.
39:41You didn't tell him to lie down.
39:42No.
39:42He did it anyway.
39:43It seems the penny has dropped.
39:46Good boy.
39:46Shall we give him another treat?
39:47Okay.
39:47Good boy, Jack.
39:49Now the longer he's quiet.
39:51So three, two, one.
39:53Good boy.
39:54The more rewards he gets.
39:56Good boy.
39:56So we could carry on chatting.
39:57Let's see what happens now.
39:58With calm behaviour scoring doggy treats.
40:02So we're up to 40 seconds now.
40:04So maybe give him another treat now, look.
40:06So.
40:07Good boy.
40:08Good lad.
40:09Being quiet is finally paying off.
40:13You do have to just work through that storm.
40:16Yes.
40:17And then he gets the good stuff through the side.
40:19Two minutes of him being silent is crazy.
40:23The next rule of table manners is no human food ever.
40:28Oh, look at that lot.
40:29Lovely.
40:30Lovely.
40:32We have to be on our A game now.
40:34He can still earn dog treats, but only by following the rules.
40:38Operation Jack.
40:39Assault on food.
40:41No.
40:44Sit.
40:46Good boy.
40:48Good boy.
40:48Down.
40:49Super.
40:50Good boy.
40:51Dog treat.
40:53That's part of his scheme foiled.
40:56It is, isn't it?
40:57Good boy.
40:58And soon clever Jack.
41:00There we go.
41:01Lovely.
41:02There we go.
41:03Thanks, Graham.
41:04Yeah.
41:04Good boy.
41:05Is learning how to score treats.
41:08Good boy.
41:08That was a good choice.
41:09There you go.
41:10That was a good choice.
41:10Good decision, mate.
41:11Very good.
41:12Eating out with Jack used to be an all-out assault.
41:16Bango's a wrap.
41:17But by standing her ground and rewarding calm, quiet behaviour.
41:21Good boy.
41:23Good boy.
41:23The battle is finally over.
41:25I can't quite believe it.
41:27Good, innit?
41:28I feel like you've swapped my dog without me realising.
41:31So what do you put the change down to?
41:32I haven't given in where I would have done previously.
41:38Yep.
41:38So the first sign of bad behaviour, oh I just wanted to shut him up so I would feed him.
41:44So I guess in a way I was rewarding bad behaviour.
41:47Absolutely.
41:48Graham's really helped me recognise where I've gone wrong previously.
41:54What Graham has done for Jack and I, I mean it sounds a bit dramatic but really life changing.
42:00You see a behaviour as bad as Jack's and you think, why is he doing what's he doing?
42:05How is he getting rewarded for it?
42:07How can I prevent that?
42:08And how can I put a better behaviour in instead that he gets rewarded for?
42:12And that really is all I did.
42:18In Ayrshire, Lockie's bullying behaviour is a thing of the past.
42:22Hi Graham, it's only a week since you were here and already we have a different dog in the house.
42:30Honestly I think this is like going to change our lives and we just can't make it enough.
42:33Puppy's school is paying off too.
42:36Daphne's lead training is keeping Sydney under control.
42:40Winnie's stop start is building confidence.
42:42And Loki's staying focused.
42:45Good boy!
42:47And in Essex Jack's food thieving days are finally numbered.
42:52He's still got his eyes on the food but he is pretty chill, pretty calm and I'm able to eat
42:59my supper in peace.
43:00So thank you so much.
43:02If you think your badly behaved dog could do with Graham's help, then why not get in touch?

43:15Ziggy, no!
43:44You want to be a little expert!
43:45Get ready for this of the way!
43:45We will be happy to see you.
43:45Even I like you.
