00:00Hey!
00:02Hiya! Pandora! Pandora!
00:04What you need to do is get control of Pandora.
00:07If dogs go wild...
00:10They are absolutely nuts.
00:13Is a dog around?
00:16I can't control them.
00:17Come on now big boy. Nathan thinks he can read.
00:20Surely he can?
00:21He can't, he's a dog.
00:22Of course he can.
00:23And get up.
00:24Oh, here we go.
00:25No, get down!
00:26To no good!
00:27It's not as me now, is it? ...I'm honored.
00:29or down and dirty.
00:32He loves a big, large crap.
00:36Tank likes to rub his boy part.
00:40What is going on with you, Tank?
00:41When Pops, I wonder what we're going to learn today, need to be schooled.
00:46Three, two, one, sit.
00:48Fantastic, look at that.
00:51Or if your pooch has a personal problem.
00:56Some dogs have bacterias that are gas-producing.
00:59Just in case.
01:01One man will give it his all and get answers to any doggy dilemma.
01:14Yeah, that's next level, isn't it?
01:22This week, a cockapoo's dirty obsession is turning an entire community's stomach.
01:33It is the most gross thing that I've ever seen.
01:37Back at Graham's puppy school, a new student disrupts class.
01:42Oh dear.
01:43He's like, blimey, okay, first day at school.
01:47And could this be the most destructive dog ever?
01:50He's got me.
01:51Crikey.
01:52I mean, he's next level, that dog.
01:53I don't remember walking into a house and seeing it quite like that.
01:57Thousands of pounds of stuff that he's destroyed.
02:00But who's really to blame for the carnage?
02:03Is grandad tough or soft?
02:04Soft.
02:05Graham's at home, fueling up for a full-on week ahead.
02:15Bacon.
02:16You can't beat it, can you?
02:17I'm a man of simple taste, really, but I know when to stop.
02:21But I'm going to go see a dog who will eat and eat and eat.
02:24So I'm going to make sure I've eaten this bacon bloody before I get anywhere near him.
02:29Or it'll be gone.
02:31Over in Bexley, South East London, beauty therapist Trish, Cockapoo Huey, and his mum Lucy...
02:39Come on.
02:40You little poopinator.
02:41...are desperate for Graham's help.
02:44I'm really excited to meet Graham today.
02:47Hopefully he can help me with this situation.
02:50Graham needn't have worried about that bacon sarnie.
02:54What's he doing?
02:56Oh, no.
02:58Ten-month-old Huey is after a much dirtier breakfast.
03:04Straight out of her backside as well.
03:07Huey, stop.
03:08Stop.
03:09Dirty boy.
03:10Stop.
03:11Morning.
03:12You must be Trish.
03:13Yes, I am.
03:14Nice to meet you.
03:15Yeah.
03:16Yeah.
03:17Ew.
03:18That's not very nice.
03:19No.
03:20Don't you feed him?
03:21I definitely feed him.
03:22But he just prefers dog sausage, doesn't he?
03:25Yeah.
03:26Yeah.
03:27He seems to be taking the poo in Cockapoo very literally.
03:32Huey.
03:33Huey's favourite snack in the whole wide world is definitely a big, large crap.
03:39Huey.
03:40Stop it.
03:41The smellier and the more fresh it is, the better.
03:44So fresh.
03:45Huey, stop.
03:46He doesn't wait for it to hit the ground.
03:48He will try to eat it directly as it's coming out of their bums.
03:54Oh my God.
03:55Huey.
03:56Huey.
03:57He'd probably eat as much as he can, like it would literally be a poo buffet.
04:02Huey, stop.
04:03And he's not picky.
04:04Is he eating more poo?
04:06Are you?
04:07Other dog walkers, they must be thinking it's really disgusting.
04:11No.
04:12No.
04:13Huey.
04:14It makes me feel completely sick.
04:16I know.
04:17No.
04:18Not the sort of thing you want to be seeing, especially not first thing in the morning.
04:23Huey.
04:24No matter how fast Trish is.
04:25Stop it.
04:26Huey still pops up in the right place for a whiffy Mr. Whippy.
04:30Huey has got a detector for when dogs are laying down their poo.
04:36It's like he can hear it coming down the intestines.
04:39Must be like when you hear the ice cream fan coming and it's all like, do, do, do, do,
04:44do, do, do, do.
04:45Huey.
04:46Huey.
04:47Huey.
04:48He can hear that coming from the dog's arse, basically.
04:52Stop it.
04:53I don't know if it's a behavioural issue or if it's something more serious like a deficiency
04:59that he has.
05:00So it would be good to get to the bottom of it, no pun intended.
05:05To stop Huey's horrid habit, naughty boy, Graham needs to know what's causing it.
05:12Why do you think he does it?
05:13I have no idea.
05:15I wish I knew.
05:16Okay.
05:17I wish I knew, I'll be honest.
05:18Yeah.
05:19It's not as rare as you think to see a dog eat poo.
05:21Yeah.
05:22But it's really rare to see a dog do what your dog's doing.
05:25I know.
05:26You know, stripped from the source.
05:28Oh, God, he's doing it again.
05:31Huey!
05:33Ugh.
05:34Dirty dog.
05:36Do you worry about, you know, what could be in that poo?
05:39Definitely.
05:40There have been times I've had to take Huey to the vets, um, not long ago, actually, and
05:45the vets said that he had colitis and that it was likely the cause was from eating so much
05:52poo.
05:53So that's inflammation of the colon.
05:55This is one of those cases that's kind of funny on the surface and you have a bit of
05:59a, oh, no giggle about it.
06:01But once you've got over that, you realise that actually this is quite serious.
06:06So Lucy's mum, Huey's the son of, how come you ended up with the two of them?
06:11Lucy, when she was given birth, we found out that she actually had ten puppies inside and,
06:17unfortunately, two of the puppies were stuck in the birth canal.
06:21Huey was the only survivor.
06:22Oh, wow.
06:23Out of all ten?
06:24Yeah, out of the whole ten.
06:26Lucy was so unwell after the birth, Trish had to step in.
06:30When he was a baby and he was born, I had to hand rear him and he would just love to
06:36have skin connection.
06:37It was almost like having a real baby.
06:41Sole survivor Huey and Trish became inseparable.
06:47I love Lucy, but the bond is even stronger with Huey, which is why I really don't want
06:53to have to think about rehoming him.
06:57How do you feel about this for the next 15 years?
07:00I need to be able to find a solution to deal with this because it's just disgusting.
07:06I love him, but this has got to stop.
07:09But there's a serious worry.
07:11Graham's concerned Huey's dirty addiction isn't behavioral, but medical.
07:17Because this is so unusual, I just wonder whether there might be something else going
07:21on here, so I really want to take a bit of advice.
07:24Huey!
07:25Doing what he's doing is putting him in danger, real danger.
07:28If she lost this dog, ten out of ten puppies, can you imagine how that would be?
07:35Coming up, Graham's search for answers takes a turn.
07:39So a lot of cockapoos were this kind of popular.
07:41Fifty percent of my intake is a cockapoo or something poo.
07:45Which could derail any hopes for fixing it.
07:48Okay, so we've got our first set of results.
07:51Back at Graham's puppy school, a juvenile delinquent.
07:55Super distracted, eh?
07:57Yeah, he's just not interested.
07:59Is vying for class clown.
08:01You know when you said you wanted an energetic dog?
08:03And a Labrador with an appetite for destruction.
08:07We used to have a nice rug down here, dining room table.
08:10Is leaving a granddad isolated.
08:13We used to have family social gatherings here in the garden.
08:16It's not like that now, which affects my dad massively.
08:26What's he doing?
08:27Graham's in Bexley, South East London.
08:30Oh, no.
08:32Where Pooey Huey's horrid hunger for piping hot.
08:36Ugh.
08:37Huey, stop.
08:38Doggy do's.
08:40The smellier and the more fresh it is, the better.
08:42Is stressing out Trish.
08:44Oh, God, he's doing it again.
08:46Huey, stop.
08:47And leaving fellow dog walkers horrified.
08:50Not the sort of thing you want to be seeing.
08:52Especially not first thing in the morning.
08:54Stop, stop, stop.
08:56It's really important we knock this problem on the head
08:58because Patricia's extremely embarrassing.
09:00And I'm also thinking, sooner or later,
09:02he's going to pick on the one dog that really, really doesn't like it.
09:06Graham fears it's more than bad behaviour.
09:09Huey, stop.
09:11And a medical issue could derail any training.
09:14Because this is so unusual, I just want to take some advice
09:17from a vet that I know, I've worked with before.
09:20Dr. Charlotte Gray is a veterinary surgeon
09:23with a focus on clinical nutrition.
09:26Charlotte, this is Trish.
09:28Hiya.
09:29And Huey.
09:31So what reasons are there for a dog eating poo?
09:33There are a few.
09:35Some dogs learn it because as puppies,
09:37their mum will eat the poo to keep the nest clean.
09:40And actually there are some puppies who will start doing that
09:43and just never really stop.
09:45Huey was an only pup.
09:47And all that extra fuss from his furry mum
09:50may have shaped his horrid habit.
09:52But there could be a genetic quirk at play too.
09:56He is a cockapoo.
09:57Based on my client base in the nutrition clinic,
10:00that always makes me a little bit suspicious that maybe there's a reason that started it off.
10:05So a lot of cockapoos were this kind of problem.
10:07Yeah, a disproportionate number of cockapoos that have got odd food behaviours.
10:11And 50% of my intake is a cockapoo or a something poo
10:15who actually have an illness that's causing them some discomfort or some nausea.
10:20Which sounds back to front, given that you'd think if they felt sick
10:24that eating poo would be the last thing on your mind.
10:26It's never worked for me.
10:27No.
10:28That's never been my favourite hand in the cure.
10:30With cockapoos prone to tummy troubles,
10:33Huey may be eating poo because he's uncomfortable.
10:36So it'd be nice if we could have a look at him, I think,
10:38have a feel of his tummy.
10:39Come on in, baby.
10:40Sorry, Huey, you're not the smallest cockapoo, are you?
10:42No, he's not, is he?
10:43Hello.
10:44How are you?
10:45Oh, great.
10:46Don't lick me face.
10:48Good boy.
10:49Well done.
10:50First, a once-over to check for soreness.
10:53He's not tense at all.
10:55He doesn't seem too worried.
10:57With no obvious signs of pain, a blood test could show if anything's off.
11:02Almost done.
11:04Okay, well done.
11:07So that's Huey's blood.
11:09The only test we've got left to do is the poo test.
11:12Collect some poo in one of these poo pots.
11:15That will tell us whether there's inflammation high up his gut.
11:17The poo test will take a few weeks, but with a lab on site,
11:21his bloods can be checked straight away.
11:24Okay.
11:25So we've got our first set of results.
11:27And so far, it's good news.
11:29He's not got any signs of anemia, he's got no signs of infection.
11:32So, overall, this is normal.
11:35Am I okay to carry on with some training?
11:37Yes.
11:38Well, so far, so reassuring, I think.
11:40Yeah.
11:41Thank you very much.
11:42My pleasure.
11:43Hopefully we get him sorted out.
11:44Yeah.
11:45All right.
11:46Well, crack on.
11:47With the results to come back, the blood tests point to Huey's poo passion
11:51as a learned behaviour, not a medical one.
11:54Well, I'm glad we've got the go-ahead to do the training, which is great.
11:57Except, I don't know how I'm going to do it.
12:00Huey!
12:01No!
12:02I mean, think about it.
12:04Dog training is all about repetition,
12:06and I'm going to have to get Huey to step away from the poo repeatedly,
12:09which means I'm going to have to get a load of dogs to sort of poo on command.
12:13Otherwise, we're going to be there all day.
12:15Graham's ready to get his hands dirty,
12:18but cracking Huey's filthy fixation will take more than a whiff of inspiration.
12:24In the meantime, he's back in Bicester in Oxfordshire,
12:29where he's recently opened his new puppy school.
12:32I started my journey as a professional dog trainer,
12:35doing dog and particularly puppy classes,
12:38and then I kind of moved away from that,
12:40and I've been going around the country helping people with badly behaved dogs.
12:44Quite nice to work with puppies again.
12:47He's brought together a class of new puppy owners
12:50to guide them through the key training milestones.
12:53Good girl!
12:54I wonder what we're going to learn today!
12:56From around 12 weeks old, puppies need clear, focused lessons
13:01to shape good behaviour.
13:03Graham knows only too well
13:08without that early guidance
13:11these cuties can grow into his usual clientele.
13:14No, Kevin!
13:17Ow!
13:18The last lesson was all about socialisation.
13:21When things start to go a little bit iffy, don't look nervous.
13:24By around 12 weeks, fully vaccinated pups can finally get out and explore,
13:29helping them get used to the sights, sounds and smells around them.
13:34Good boy, Tony!
13:36Good boy!
13:37Good boy!
13:38Let's get a motorbike, son!
13:39Yeah.
13:40Well, today's milestone is something that's as fundamental for dogs
13:44as, well, like the ABCs, one, two, threes for little humans,
13:48so it's really important that they get this.
13:50Returning are rescue Winnie,
13:53family dog Sydney,
13:55breakup pup Boo,
13:57and farm dog Mr. Todd,
14:00and introducing new student Loki.
14:03Are you all excited?
14:05Lorraine, come on through.
14:07So, nice to meet you.
14:09Hello.
14:10So, so, Loki, he's a Wiesler, isn't he?
14:13He is, yeah.
14:14Hungarian Wiesler.
14:15Grab a seat, by the way.
14:17Yeah.
14:18Oh, dear.
14:19Oh, hello.
14:20Looks like Winnie needs more socialisation training.
14:23Oh, dear.
14:24He's like, blimey, okay, first day at school.
14:27Yeah.
14:28Winnie.
14:29Come here.
14:30Well, welcome to our little merry band.
14:32How old is he?
14:33He's 15 weeks.
14:3415 weeks.
14:35He's a big lad for 15 weeks, isn't he, eh?
14:37Yeah.
14:38Recently retired child protection officer Lorraine
14:41isn't putting her feet up just yet.
14:43My plans with Loki are to go on adventures.
14:47He's a breed that loves to run and explore,
14:51and so I'm hoping that we can go off and do that
14:54when he's a little bit bigger.
14:55It's not going to be a quiet retirement at all.
14:58It's going to be an exciting one.
15:00You made a good choice there, then.
15:02Oh, yeah.
15:03They're definitely energetic.
15:04I'll give you that.
15:05I know.
15:06Today, we're moving on a bit.
15:08There's a really essential set of skills that I want to teach you,
15:11and these are all about building a bond,
15:14teaching the dogs how to respond to your cues.
15:17Basically, we're going to tell them to do something
15:19and teach them how to do it.
15:20Vocal cues or commands are a big early lesson.
15:24The first are sit and stay, which aren't just good manners.
15:29They're about safety, keeping pups out of trouble.
15:32Hello, Mr. Todd.
15:33When it comes to teaching sit, Graham has a tip.
15:38Actions speak louder than words.
15:41So he's not sitting.
15:43First, Graham gets Mr. Todd's attention with a treat,
15:46then raises it up.
15:48We move it over his head.
15:50And he naturally sits down.
15:52Good.
15:53There you go.
15:54Now, can anybody tell me what I'm not doing?
15:57You didn't say the word sit.
15:59Bang on.
16:00Why would I not be saying sit?
16:01We are doing sit training, after all.
16:03Because he doesn't know what it means.
16:05He doesn't know what it means.
16:06You're absolutely right, Lorraine.
16:07First, we get him doing the action, playing a game.
16:09Oh, right.
16:10I touch my bum on the ground.
16:12You give me one of those treats.
16:14Then and only then do we start to say sit.
16:17We do say actions speak louder than words,
16:20and we're human.
16:21We're pretty good at words.
16:22Puppies aren't so good.
16:24That's why I always teach action first,
16:27and then tell them the word.
16:29So by prompting the action,
16:31Graham then adds the keyword.
16:35Sit.
16:36And by repeating...
16:38Sit.
16:39He connects the word to the action.
16:41Good.
16:42After just a few attempts...
16:44Sit.
16:45He's got it.
16:46Good boy.
16:47And that's a general principle you're going to see in all doctrine.
16:51You show them what you mean,
16:52and then you label it.
16:53You give it a name.
16:55That's your cue.
16:56Off you go.
16:57Can the class copy Graham's success?
17:00Sit.
17:01Mr. Todd...
17:02Sit.
17:03Is first to understand.
17:05Sit.
17:06Soon rescue pup Winnie.
17:08Sit.
17:09Little Boo.
17:10Look at that.
17:11And finally Sydney.
17:12Sit.
17:13All master the vocal cue.
17:15Sit.
17:16But new boy Loki...
17:17Move your hand up, Lorraine.
17:18Doesn't seem interested in studying.
17:21Super distracted, eh?
17:22Yeah.
17:23He's just not interested.
17:24No.
17:25He just wants to play.
17:27So if you get your treat...
17:28So...
17:29Hey, hey, hey.
17:30What's this?
17:31Up and above.
17:32But not to a jumping point.
17:33Boom.
17:34There you go.
17:35Does that make sense?
17:36Yeah.
17:37Yeah.
17:38You're luring him into position.
17:39Have your treat ready and I'll give you a chance.
17:41For Loki, Lorraine's treats are no match to playing with another pup.
17:46You know when you said you wanted an energetic dog, right?
17:49Half the work in puppy training is getting and keeping their attention.
17:54And Loki is younger than the others.
17:56Lorraine is having a bit of a hard time.
17:58But the worst thing she can do right now is give up.
18:02And Graham's come prepared.
18:04Right.
18:05Let's try something different.
18:06A much tastier treat.
18:08Oh, you like that, don't you?
18:09Sit.
18:10Instantly gets Loki's attention.
18:12Great.
18:13With Loki back on task, it's time for the pup's first oral exam.
18:18Right.
18:19Let's see if we can get all the dogs to sit at the same time if I cue you.
18:23So if we get them all standing up.
18:25Three.
18:27Two.
18:29One.
18:31Sit.
18:32Good boy.
18:33Fantastic.
18:34Look at that.
18:35It's a great start.
18:36How are we feeling about it?
18:37Happy?
18:38Good.
18:39So the next lesson is going to be stay.
18:41But here's the catch.
18:42I want you to get your dogs to stay without ever saying the word stay.
18:48coming up, Graham's giving the pups the silent treatment.
18:56He's got me.
18:57He meets a Labrador ransacking a retiree's home.
19:00We've always had birthdays and different events here.
19:04Since I've had Ziggy, we haven't been able to do that.
19:07And will Pooey Huey...
19:08Are you ready?
19:09...kick his filthy fix.
19:11Now, go on, call him.
19:12Huey!
19:20Graham Hall's new puppy school is up and running.
19:23And today he's teaching his four-legged pupils...
19:25Sit.
19:26...queues or commands.
19:28Good boy.
19:29So far, they've learnt sit.
19:31Three, two, one, sit.
19:33Sit.
19:34Good boy.
19:35Fantastic.
19:36Look at that.
19:37Graham's next lesson is stay.
19:39There are lots of times when we might want a dog to stay or wait, just hang fire basically.
19:44We might be crossing the road, we might be about to go through again.
19:47When it comes to stay, Graham's tip, silence is golden.
19:54And to demonstrate...
19:55Would you take a seat for a second, please?
19:57Certainly.
19:58Thank you very much.
19:59Good.
20:00But sometimes we need our dogs to sit or lie down for a period of time.
20:04Normally we think of that as maybe stay or even wait.
20:08And I do that without saying either of those two words.
20:11Is he still sat there?
20:12He is, yeah?
20:13Sure is.
20:14He is, yeah.
20:15Why is that there?
20:18I was told to.
20:20Did anybody say stay?
20:22No.
20:23Point being, why don't we teach dogs that sit means sit and keep sitting?
20:29Wouldn't that be simpler?
20:30Yeah.
20:31You can join the group now, Colin.
20:32Thank you very much for helping out there.
20:34Making a dog sit and stay has two challenges.
20:37Time and distance.
20:39How far you can move away from the dog before they give chase.
20:43First, Graham's tackling time.
20:46Hello, boo.
20:47Come with me.
20:48There you go.
20:49Come on, then.
20:50Hello.
20:51You know how to do sit, don't you?
20:53Sit.
20:54Good.
20:55There you go.
20:56Sit.
20:57Ah, no.
20:59Good.
21:00Good.
21:01So she's beginning to learn, when he says sit and I sit, maybe there's a gap in time.
21:07Sit.
21:08Now, Graham extends the time he makes her sit before giving the treat.
21:13Maybe it's a second or two before I actually get it.
21:16Sit.
21:17Good.
21:18Clever girl.
21:19I wasn't counting.
21:20What was that, five seconds?
21:22And before long, Boo's patiently sitting for 20 seconds.
21:27How many times did I say stay?
21:29None.
21:30No times.
21:31Don't need it, do you?
21:32Sit and keep sitting is what we're teaching them, yeah?
21:35Distance is the next challenge, and Graham needs a new volunteer.
21:40Now, to start with, good boy.
21:43I'll take a step back.
21:44Step back in.
21:45Good boy.
21:46There's no point going ten feet backwards, because he ain't got the hang of that, yeah?
21:51There you go.
21:52Good boy.
21:53Sit.
21:54For the pups, the game is easy.
21:57Sit.
21:58Don't move, and the treat will come to you.
22:01Good.
22:02Couple of little steps, yeah?
22:03Good boy.
22:04That's all right.
22:05We dropped it.
22:06Sit.
22:07Good.
22:08Good.
22:09Clever boy.
22:10And then we build it up from there.
22:12And within just a few minutes...
22:16Good boy.
22:17He certainly fell backwards.
22:19Good boy.
22:20There you go.
22:21Go on, then.
22:22That'll do.
22:23Can the group get their pups to sit and stay without saying a word?
22:29Just to add a bit of spice to it, that's the finish line.
22:33If you can get as far as this finish line, even for a second or two, fantastic.
22:37All right, team.
22:38Best of luck.
22:39Three, two, one.
22:40Off you go.
22:41To pass the test, each pup must sit and stay until their human returns from the finish line.
22:48Sit.
22:49Robert and Winnie take an early lead.
22:52You're nearly there.
22:53Keep going.
22:54Another step.
22:55Well done, Rob.
22:56You've nailed it.
22:57Good.
22:58Go back and feed your dog.
23:00Fantastic.
23:01Good girl.
23:02Oh.
23:03One down, four to go.
23:05That's it.
23:06What's the team game going on here with Mary and Colin?
23:08Tony.
23:09Very good.
23:10While Loki and Mr. Todd distract each other, Ruby, with Sidney, is almost over the line.
23:17You're there, girl.
23:18On you go.
23:19That's it.
23:20Well done.
23:21But Sidney's enthusiasm gets the better of him.
23:22Oh, no.
23:23Do you know what?
23:24Because your dog broke the sit at the last minute.
23:26Try again.
23:27You had it, Ruby.
23:28Tony.
23:29Good.
23:30Nice.
23:31Good boy.
23:32Oh.
23:33Good boy.
23:34Okay.
23:35All right.
23:36Well done.
23:37Good boy.
23:38Well done, Ruby.
23:39Right.
23:40Off you go.
23:41Super.
23:42Keep going.
23:43Keep going.
23:44You nailed it.
23:45Well done.
23:46You finished.
23:47Brilliant.
23:48Super.
23:49While Lorraine struggles with Loki, Colin's steaming ahead with Mr. Todd.
23:50That's it.
23:51You're getting there, Colin.
23:52One more step.
23:53Right, mate.
23:54And Charlotte and little Boo.
23:57All right, Charlotte.
23:58You're nearly there.
23:59Are taking things easy.
24:01Oh, very good.
24:02All right.
24:03I'm all right with that.
24:04Leaving just new pup Loki and Lorraine.
24:09Loki.
24:10Here.
24:11Here.
24:12I think Loki's struggling because it's a new environment, lots of new friends that he wants
24:18to interact with.
24:20I don't seem to exist when they're there.
24:23If Loki's ever to become Lorraine's travelling buddy, he needs to learn to listen.
24:28Sit.
24:34Oh, lovely.
24:35And after ten long minutes.
24:36Well done, Lorraine.
24:37That's better.
24:38He's finally got it.
24:40Good boy.
24:41It's a good boy.
24:42Well done.
24:43Good boy.
24:44Well, I think give yourselves a round of applause, everybody.
24:46I think you did really well there.
24:48Fantastic.
24:49Good.
24:50All right.
24:51They're all got their own abilities.
24:53You know, some dogs it was easier than others.
24:55For Loki, it's his first day at puppy school.
24:57You know, I think he's done amazingly well.
24:59It's his first time interacting with so many dogs and playing with them.
25:03And then the learning.
25:04Yeah.
25:05Really enjoyed it.
25:06Loved it.
25:07And yeah, just so worth it.
25:10Next time, more milestones.
25:11But in the meantime, do go away and practice.
25:14Obviously, the hard work starts when you leave here.
25:17And send me those little videos.
25:18I'd love to see how you're getting on.
25:20Graham believes puppy training, getting those crucial boundaries in early, is what sets up a well-behaved dog.
25:27And his next case, just down the road in Oxford, shows exactly what happens when there are no boundaries.
25:40Well, hello.
25:41Hi.
25:42Hi.
25:43Nice to meet you.
25:44Yeah, Lauren.
25:45And?
25:46Zachary.
25:47Zachary.
25:48Hello, Zachary.
25:49Come on in.
25:50Come into the kennel.
25:51Lauren's called Graham to help her dad, Richard.
25:52But maybe the police might have been more appropriate.
25:55Looks like the place has been ransacked.
25:57Graham.
25:58Nice to meet you.
25:59Nice to meet you.
26:00Richard, yeah?
26:01Yeah, that's right.
26:02Nice to meet you, Richard.
26:03And the culprit?
26:04Courtred Pored.
26:05Is that Ziggy, is it?
26:06Yes, you can see what we're up.
26:07Hello, Ziggy.
26:08Hello.
26:09Oh, blimey.
26:10I see.
26:11So he destroys soft furnishings, does he?
26:13He does.
26:14Anything he can get his teeth round.
26:15He's a bit bare, isn't he?
26:16Yeah.
26:17It is, literally.
26:18Yeah.
26:19It's a kennel.
26:20It's his kennel.
26:21Since arriving, 20-month-old Ziggy has systematically destroyed everything in recently retired engineer
26:28Richard's house.
26:29He's got me.
26:30I've not known anybody that's had a dog that's destroyed things like Ziggy does.
26:35Right.
26:36Let go.
26:37If there is something within reach, he will grab it.
26:39And while you're taking that off him, right, he could be taking the handkerchief out of
26:44your pocket.
26:46Oh, Ziggy.
26:48We would be talking thousands of pounds of stuff that he's destroyed.
26:52Richard's not exaggerating.
26:54This used to be his best settee.
26:57He slowly demolished that over like an 18-month period.
27:01It's a little bit uncomfortable.
27:03I find it very stressful because you can't rest and relax for one minute.
27:09No wonder.
27:10There's nowhere left to relax.
27:12It's preventing me from having a peaceful time.
27:17It's preventing people visiting, particularly my grandchildren.
27:22Proud granddad of three, Richard's house used to be the hub of family celebrations.
27:29We've always had birthdays, Christmases and different events here with all the family coming
27:35over and enjoying time here.
27:37But unfortunately, since I've had Ziggy, we haven't been able to do that.
27:42And if grandson Zach does visit, playtime's under lock and key.
27:47This is a toy cupboard and also where Zach can sit and do some colouring or painting.
27:54We can't get it out because the dog's just potentially going to come in and take something.
28:00The rest of the family think I'm mad because they think I should be able to control him a
28:06bit better.
28:07The table is on top of there.
28:09I did notice there was a table on your sofa.
28:11Yeah, it's upside down because it stops him actually making a hole in the settee.
28:16And I've saved the cushions.
28:18How are you?
28:19They're upstairs.
28:20So anything that can be moved, I've moved.
28:23Do you know, if you played the game of who would live in a house like this, you would,
28:27I reckon, you would say, oh, that's a student dig, isn't it?
28:30We used to have a nice rug down here, a great big rug.
28:33We had a dining room table.
28:35So, yeah, it's very bare, isn't it?
28:38You definitely wouldn't think a retired gentleman enjoying his time,
28:42surrounded by all the things that you collect over a lifetime.
28:45He's brought it back here.
28:47He's starting to rip that up, you know.
28:49Go on, then, how do you get it off?
28:50You see if you can catch him, Zach.
28:51All right, Zach's your man.
28:53Oh, he's fast.
28:54Yes.
28:56Right.
28:57Oh, I see.
28:58Now, let go, Ziggy.
29:01Ah, no.
29:03He's like, I've got it, I'm not letting that go.
29:06He's not letting that go, is he?
29:07Now, what's the solution?
29:08Well, the solution that I've found is not to leave anything out.
29:11Right.
29:12Because why did it?
29:13Richard's fix to Ziggy's destructive behaviour...
29:16He will eventually give up on it.
29:18...has been to simply ignore it.
29:20There.
29:21Ah, well done.
29:23It's not just Grandad's house that's wrecked.
29:26His garden looks like no man's land.
29:28Oh, blimey.
29:29Have you had many unexploded bombs around here?
29:31Ziggy's impact has been genuinely devastating.
29:35Zach and his grandad are really close,
29:37and it is so nice that they have such a bond,
29:40that they're unable to interact the same way as they did.
29:44We used to have family social gatherings here in the garden,
29:46and everyone would come here, this was the hub.
29:49It's not like that now.
29:50No.
29:51You know, we don't have social gatherings here,
29:53which affects my dad massively.
29:56What's your take on the way he treats the dog?
29:59My dad's very soft-natured.
30:01He's not one to raise his voice.
30:03Right.
30:04So I think the dog kind of takes advantage of him a bit.
30:07Yeah.
30:08This is not a dog who was born to be the bossiest dog in the world.
30:12Far from it.
30:13And yet, he's getting away with murder.
30:15Lauren, you were telling me you've got a couple of ideas yourself
30:18of where things might be going wrong.
30:20Do you want to tell your dad?
30:21I think that you're a lovely person.
30:23You're very soft, though.
30:25And I don't think there's much authority there when it comes to Ziggy.
30:28That's probably right.
30:30Mm.
30:31So, for example, when Lauren was young,
30:32if Lauren stepped out of line and did something naughty,
30:34what happened?
30:35Did she get told off?
30:36Well, she got told off.
30:38Who by?
30:40Probably her...
30:41Probably my mother.
30:43Her mother.
30:44Her mum.
30:45Not by you.
30:47And thereby, Isaac hangs the rug, right?
30:51He's not getting sold off in any way.
30:53So, I think we need to tell him no.
30:56Yeah, I'm quite prepared to...
30:57And be consistent with him.
30:58...to do that.
30:59Yeah, and because...
31:00It's reached that point where, you know, it's make or break.
31:04Is Grandad tough or soft?
31:06Soft.
31:08Out of the mouths of babes.
31:10Graham believes Richard's lack of authority and inconsistent approach...
31:15Oh, Ziggy!
31:16...has allowed Ziggy to run riot.
31:19Graham's probably hit the nail on the head with what he suggested,
31:23with being a bit firmer with Ziggy.
31:26As Richard's been burying his head by locking his house down instead of his dog,
31:31Graham wants to put that right.
31:33So, the aim today, really, is we'll get to the end of the day
31:36and we'll put the room back together.
31:37That'd be nice, wouldn't it?
31:38It would be.
31:39It's a real treat.
31:40Starting with some of Ziggy's favourite chewables.
31:44A pair of shoes.
31:46A cushion.
31:47We'll stick that there.
31:49Ooh, and a blanket.
31:51How about that?
31:53So, I'm going to teach Ziggy how to leave it, basically.
31:57I'm going to walk him past a couple of items that he's not allowed to have
32:00and when he steps away, we're going to say, leave it.
32:03We're going to guide him away from each of those items.
32:05So, if I take that lead...
32:07Thanks, Lauren.
32:08Come on then, mate.
32:09Graham's house rules are easy to follow.
32:11Let's go over here.
32:12As soon as Ziggy shows interest in something he shouldn't...
32:15Leave it.
32:16..a clear, no-nonsense warning...
32:18Can't, Zig.
32:19What's this?
32:21Leave it.
32:22..praise for backing away...
32:24Oh, good boy.
32:26That's very good, yes.
32:27..and a reward with something he can play with.
32:30Come on, here's your reward.
32:32How about that?
32:33Ooh, you like that, don't you?
32:34Looks like he's a chuggy toy.
32:36Yay!
32:37The message to Ziggy couldn't be simpler.
32:40These items?
32:41No.
32:42Those items?
32:43Your dog toys?
32:44Yes.
32:45Ziggy's listening to Graham.
32:46Leave it.
32:48Good boy!
32:50There you go.
32:51All right.
32:52Clever boy.
32:54Yeah.
32:55Much better than a cushion.
32:57But it'll only work if Richard can earn the same respect.
33:01So, you've seen what I've done.
33:03I'm gonna hand you the lead.
33:04I'm gonna perch on here.
33:06I'm worried about Richard, actually.
33:07I'm gonna teach Richard how to do the right kind of discipline.
33:11How to set boundaries, rules, you know.
33:13All right, then.
33:14Let's see what we got.
33:15So, you know the score.
33:16Ziggy's never listened to his dad.
33:19Leave it.
33:20So, don't quite let him out.
33:22Leave it.
33:23But with a bit more grit behind him.
33:25Leave it.
33:26Good boy.
33:27Good tone of voice, that, actually.
33:29Leave it.
33:30That's it.
33:31Good boy.
33:32Ziggy's finally paying attention.
33:34That's a good boy.
33:35Good boy.
33:36Good boy.
33:37Good boy.
33:38Oh, he's sad.
33:39Yeah, that's good.
33:40Good boy.
33:41Hey, Richard really surprised me there.
33:42He's got the right tone of voice for this.
33:44Leave it.
33:45Fair play.
33:46I didn't know he had it in him.
33:47But can he be consistent with it?
33:49Well, you're doing ever so well, so I thought, well, I won't just bring one thing.
33:52Not quite, Lawrence Llewellyn Bowen.
33:55We'll throw some cushions around.
33:57There you go.
34:01Leave it.
34:02Leave it.
34:03Good boy.
34:05That's more like it.
34:06Oh, look at that.
34:07More furnishing, more temptation.
34:10That's it.
34:11There.
34:12There you go.
34:13But Richard's found his dad voice.
34:14Leave it.
34:15Good boy.
34:16Good boy.
34:17Well done.
34:18And Ziggy's listening.
34:20Leave it.
34:23Leave it.
34:24Well done.
34:25Good boy.
34:26Perfect.
34:27Preferring his toys to the furniture for once.
34:30Oh.
34:31Hey, it's the biggest rope in the world.
34:33Are you enjoying the luxurious upholstery?
34:35It feels very odd to be sitting on the sofa with him just there.
34:40Yeah.
34:41Well, I think we've got the whole room back together.
34:43It's all, it's all here, isn't it?
34:45Since he was a pup, Ziggy's been free to play by his own rules, ripping the house apart.
34:51Oh, Ziggy.
34:52Well, a little bit nervous, but we'll go for it.
34:56Yeah, let's.
34:57Can he be trusted off lead?
34:59Let's go for it.
35:00Or will he go on the tear up?
35:02Good boy.
35:03Good lad.
35:04Maybe he's time to leave.
35:05I've got no words.
35:06But the fact that you've managed to get all this lot back out and he's not bothered.
35:09Yeah.
35:10It's great, isn't it?
35:11Is that nice, Zach, having a cuddle?
35:12It's good.
35:13It's good.
35:14It's good.
35:15I think Graham's training today has been very useful.
35:16He's given us some good tips moving forward.
35:17It's nice that everything's out and Ziggy's not destroying anything.
35:33I think that you can play with Grandad again, can't you?
35:36Yeah.
35:37You'll be able to play with Grandad without Ziggy bothering you.
35:39Yeah.
35:40Well, it's been a pleasure meeting you, Rich.
35:42Thanks, Sarah.
35:43You're welcome.
35:44I'm going to leave you in peace.
35:45Thank you very much, Graham.
35:46Yeah.
35:47Bye-bye.
35:48Coming up.
35:49You ready?
35:50Graham's back on the case of a cockapooie huey.
35:53Urgh.
35:54Oh, my God.
35:56And his stomach-churning habit of munching every mutt's muck.
36:00That's Frank the Bulldog.
36:01Can we see Frank's party trick, please?
36:04Oh.
36:09Graham's almost done for the week, but he's back in Bexley, South East London, with cockapoo Huey.
36:18No.
36:19Urgh.
36:20Who loves to chow down...
36:23Huey!
36:24Stop.
36:25...on fresh doggy-doo.
36:27Oh, my God.
36:28He will try to eat it directly as it's coming out of their bums.
36:34A filthy habit that's turning Trish's stomach and everyone else's.
36:39Huey!
36:40Stop it!
36:41Not the sort of thing you want to be seeing, especially not first thing in the morning.
36:44With behaviour this unusual, Graham wanted a medical check before tackling the training.
36:49Ew, don't lick me face.
36:51With the all clear from the vet, it seemed Huey's faecal fascination went right back to puppyhood,
36:57as the lone survivor of a litter of ten.
37:00Some dogs learn it because, as puppies, their mum will eat the poo to keep the nest clean.
37:05Is he eating more poo?
37:06Graham's got the green light to train Huey, and he reckons the key is recall,
37:11getting him to turn his back on pooping pups.
37:14Now, for training, I've got a problem because, theoretically, I would need a whole line of dogs
37:18who just, like, poo on command one after the other after the other,
37:21and I don't think that's going to happen.
37:23So, I'm going to have to get a bit creative.
37:27And true to form...
37:29Good boy.
37:30Graham's found a dog who does a number two on cue.
37:34There.
37:35That's Frank the Bulldog.
37:37Oh, my gosh.
37:40Can we see Frank's party trick, please?
37:42Oh!
37:46Oh, my gosh.
37:48It's a Frankfurter.
37:50Oh, Huey's going to love this.
37:53He is, isn't he?
37:54Maybe not quite as much as poo, but the theory is,
37:57if Trish can recall Huey from a juicy sausage, chances are she can pull him off a dog one too.
38:03We're going to put him on a long line so he can't actually get to the Frankfurter,
38:07although he's going to be really quite close to it and wanting it.
38:10When he comes back to us, he gets a treat.
38:13If he can do that, he should also step away from the delicious poo.
38:18And the whole thing relies on one key principle.
38:21We've got to be more exciting than poo.
38:24First, Trish needs to choose a clear recall command to stick to.
38:28All right.
38:29Normally what I say to get him back is, look what I got.
38:32Oh, well, you can do that if you want.
38:33Yeah.
38:34Can we have one Frankfurter, please?
38:36Boom.
38:37There we go.
38:38Right, come on, Huey.
38:39Let's check it out.
38:40For this to work, Trish must be more exciting...
38:43Here we go.
38:44...than the potential poo.
38:46...and be clear with her commands.
38:48No.
38:49That's it.
38:50Huey!
38:51Look!
38:52Look what I got!
38:53Oh, he's got it.
38:54He's got it.
38:55And he got it.
38:56Because while you went, Huey!
38:58Oh!
38:59Not to worry.
39:00Trish gets a bit flustered and she's forgetting what to say.
39:03Trish has got to get it right.
39:05You've got to be a wee bit more decisive.
39:07Also, you went, Huey!
39:08And he's like, yeah, and?
39:10Yeah.
39:11Look!
39:12Right, which is good.
39:13And then you didn't do the next bit.
39:14Look what I got.
39:15So you went...
39:16Yeah.
39:17That's not the magic words, is it?
39:18We might have our workers out now because he's had one.
39:20Trish needs to up her game and make herself clear.
39:23Poo is off the menu.
39:25Huey!
39:26No!
39:27Look!
39:28Look what I got!
39:29Perfect.
39:30Well done.
39:31Really good.
39:32Good boy!
39:33That's better.
39:34Let's go again.
39:35Right.
39:36Close enough.
39:37No!
39:38Huey!
39:39Look!
39:40Huey, look!
39:41There you go.
39:42Look what I got!
39:43Whee!
39:44Well done!
39:45So, when you get your words right, it works every time.
39:48And when Trish finds her confidence...
39:50Look!
39:51Look what I got!
39:52Yeah!
39:53Good boy!
39:54I think he's going back on purpose.
39:57Along with excitement and treats...
39:59No!
40:00Look!
40:01Look what I got!
40:02Yay!
40:03Good boy!
40:04It works!
40:05Time...
40:06Look!
40:07Look what I got!
40:08...after time.
40:09Yay!
40:10Hey!
40:11Hey!
40:12Clever boy.
40:13I think we've done quite well with Frank and the Frankfurters.
40:14Okay.
40:15What if we go find a real dog now, doing a real poo, and put this to the test?
40:20I'm actually really excited to see if this is going to work.
40:23Tempting Huey away from a Frankfurter is one thing...
40:27Huey!
40:28...but usually getting a sniff of the real stuff...
40:31Huey!
40:32...turns this mutt into a heat-seeking poopinator.
40:35Stop it!
40:36Now they need a real-life pooping pooch.
40:43Which isn't as easy as you'd think.
40:48There's never a pooing dog when you want one, is there?
40:51There will be soon, surely.
40:53The big question is, can you call him away when there's a real pooing dog?
40:57I'm going to give it a go.
40:59Oh, here we go.
41:02Here's one.
41:04Oh, hello.
41:05If Trish is going to pry Huey off that Labrador's bum, she needs to be razor sharp.
41:11The moment the lab goes to squat, he locks on.
41:15False alarm.
41:16It's a wee.
41:17But moments later...
41:19Oh, here we go.
41:20Here we go.
41:21Oh, oh!
41:22Oh!
41:23Right.
41:24Are you ready?
41:26Right.
41:27Now, go on.
41:28Call him.
41:29Huey!
41:30No!
41:31Look!
41:32Look what I got!
41:33Yay!
41:34Well done!
41:35Yeah!
41:36I'm really shocked.
41:37Yeah.
41:38So am I.
41:39You got the words out right.
41:41It's proven Huey will ditch the poo if Trish nails what to do.
41:47Honestly, he's never done that.
41:49He's never turned down fresh poo like that.
41:52It's all about consistency.
41:53Yeah.
41:54I really wasn't expecting any of that to work.
41:57So I'm really pleased.
41:59Huey!
42:00No!
42:01Look!
42:02Look what I got!
42:03So Huey, who was the only puppy out of 10 to survive, has a happy future ahead of him
42:08now.
42:09And if he should happen to give her a bit of a lick and a kiss in future, well, it's no
42:13worse than the average dog now, is it?
42:15No!
42:16No!
42:17No!
42:18No!
42:19No!
42:20No!
42:21No!
42:22No!
42:23It might seem to be working.
42:24We've managed to keep the house looking more of a home and Zac is able to play while Ziggy
42:28just relaxes.
