00:00Hi!
00:00Hi!
00:01How are you?
00:02Pandora!
00:03Pandora!
00:04What you need to do is get control of Pandora.
00:07If dogs go wild, they are absolutely nuts.
00:12Is the dog around?
00:15I can't control them.
00:17Come on now, big boy.
00:18Nathan thinks he can read.
00:19Surely he can.
00:20He can't.
00:21He's a dog.
00:22Of course he can.
00:22And get up.
00:23Oh, here we go.
00:24No, get down.
00:25To no good.
00:26It's not with me now, is it?
00:27I'm honoured.
00:28Or down.
00:29Oh, no.
00:31And dirty.
00:32He loves a big, large crap.
00:36Oh, Tank likes to rub his boy pups.
00:39What is going on with you, Tank?
00:41When pups, I wonder what we're going to learn today.
00:44Need to be schooled.
00:46Three, two, one.
00:47That's it.
00:48Fantastic.
00:49Look at that.
00:50Or if your pooch.
00:52He's dropped one.
00:53He's got a whiff.
00:53Has a personal problem.
00:55Some dogs have bacterias that are gas-producing.
00:59Just in case.
01:01One man.
01:02Hey, look at that.
01:04Will give it his all.
01:06Jack!
01:06Oi!
01:07Leave it.
01:08And get answers.
01:09I think I might know what's going on.
01:11And it's not what you think.
01:12To any doggy dilemma.
01:15Yeah, that's next level, innit?
01:20This week.
01:21Heavenly Father, we thank you for the pets that share our lives.
01:24A furry fallen angel.
01:26As for you, for my dog, he's being the loudest.
01:29Interrupts the word of God.
01:31I really struggled to hear what was being said.
01:34For the word of dog.
01:36Not a good thing to be going home from church.
01:39Then we're deafened by garky.
01:41Can't help feeling they're not going to want to come back too soon.
01:43A fiddling Frenchie.
01:46You've got a rather embarrassing problem, aren't you?
01:48Well, I don't.
01:49Needs expert help.
01:51I've got a few videos.
01:53Okay.
01:53Yeah, right.
01:54There's a dog on the other side.
01:56And a dangerous game.
01:58Get behind this back.
01:58Of hide and seek.
02:00We're taking cover, are we?
02:02Ruins.
02:03A retirement.
02:05I wanted to share everything with him.
02:07I think we can't do that.
02:08It's so sad.
02:18First stop, Graham's travelled to the capital.
02:21I'm in South London today.
02:23Catford, to be precise.
02:25There's a joke there, isn't there?
02:26Coming to see a dog in Catford, but I'm not going to go there
02:28because that would be cheesy.
02:30And I'm never cheesy, am I?
02:32But the problem I've got to see strikes right at the heart of this community.
02:40Hey, it's good to see you again.
02:42Aww.
02:43He's had a calling.
02:44This must be the queue for the service, then.
02:46Hello, are you all right?
02:48To St John the Baptist Church.
02:50Hi, Graham, good to see you.
02:51Morning, Rob. Nice to meet you. Hello.
02:53I won't give you a treat.
02:54No, thank you very much.
02:55That's a lot on dogs.
02:56Come and join us.
02:57Where Reverend Peter is leading...
03:00It's always nice to not be the only one in church with a dog collar on.
03:03...one of his pet blessing services.
03:06Heavenly Father, we thank you for the pets that share our lives.
03:09We pray for the dogs, we bless the dogs with holy water,
03:12and we remind ourselves that pets are a gift from God.
03:16It's an opportunity for reaching out to the wider community.
03:18Sometimes it's the first time people have set foot into the church.
03:22And we pray, Lord, that you may enable us.
03:24But instead of encouraging newcomers to join his flock...
03:30I'll do my best to be heard over Lila.
03:32...six-year-old Frenchie Lila...
03:39...leaves congregants praying for an exodus.
03:43As for usual, my dog is being the loudest.
03:47So I have to yell to be heard over her.
03:50Lila?
03:52Okay.
03:53This is dog, isn't it?
03:55Oh, the naughtiest dog in church is the Revs.
03:59Apologies for the noise, especially Lila all the way through.
04:03Calm down. It's okay.
04:06Next service isn't her favourite thing.
04:18It's not a good thing to be going home from church.
04:21Then we're deafened by barking.
04:23I can't help feeling they're not going to want to come back too soon.
04:25And obviously that reflects a bit on me as well, which is why it's embarrassing.
04:31I really struggled to hear what was being said.
04:37I could hear the vicar's lips moving.
04:39But I couldn't hear much because he was sat right behind his doll.
04:48And Lila also reigns shame...
04:51Hi, Peter.
04:52Hello. You all right?
04:53...down on her holy father when parishioners visit his rectory.
04:58Can I come in?
04:59You can. Just keep your fingers to yourself. Will do.
05:02You can have a variety of visitors during the day to arrange things like funerals, baptisms.
05:08Coming round to meet Peter can be quite nerve-wracking.
05:11It would be much nicer if you weren't met with a welcome like that.
05:16If somebody's coming and they're upset, the last thing they want to be is barked out by a loud dog.
05:21After an ear-splitting service, to understand why Lila has no space in her heart for potential parishioners...
05:31Mind your fingers, Graham. Mind your fingers.
05:33Oh, right. OK.
05:34Graham wants to meet the rest of her holy household.
05:39Anne-Marie. Anne-Marie. Peter.
05:42Quinn. Quinn. Luke. Luke.
05:45All right, great.
05:45Tell me about the pet blessings.
05:48You know, what was the thinking behind that?
05:49Most of the people who are there today don't come on a Sunday, so...
05:52Oh, well, there you go.
05:53...that's a good chance for them to experience church.
05:55Yeah, there's only one little fly in the ointment and it's...
05:59Bleh.
05:59It's her, innit?
06:00Yes, it is a bit off-putting.
06:02She wasn't very pleased to see me at the door, was she?
06:04Afraid not, no.
06:05She does welcome guests, I'm afraid.
06:07We had a couple last week who came to see me about a funeral and I had to reassure them
06:12there was no way the dog was going to get to them and, you know, don't panic.
06:15So it's a problem in the church, there's a problem when you're back here at home as well, then?
06:18Yes.
06:19I mean, she is nervous.
06:20We're our third owners.
06:23The first owner wasn't particularly kind to her, to say the least.
06:25Oh, right.
06:26A first owner used her for backyard breeding.
06:29Oh.
06:30So no real sort of love and affection or any of that.
06:35So rescue your dog, very much.
06:36Yeah.
06:37And is there anything that you do that makes it better, do you think?
06:40Putting her upside down.
06:42You grab her and you tip her upside down and then she's just like...
06:45Right.
06:47There's a very good reason why Delilah is acting the way she is.
06:51She is nervous and scared and that's because her first owners were breeders
06:56who just had her as a breeding machine.
06:58And she had a really good reason to be scared of anybody she didn't know.
07:03And also a congregation of people.
07:04I mean, group of strangers to her.
07:07Terrifying.
07:08Shut up.
07:09Delilah.
07:10No.
07:11You're helping me.
07:13Coming up.
07:14No.
07:15A retirement.
07:16I broke my hand and I broke ribs.
07:19Stuck in the trenches.
07:21It's so sad.
07:21I don't get to enjoy it with my best friend.
07:24An awkward habit.
07:26I was just wondering if you had any advice on...
07:29He's doing it now.
07:31And can Graham...
07:32Just about to praise her and she starts again.
07:34Yeah.
07:35Yeah.
07:36I feel your pain.
07:37Bring peace to the parish.
07:39Well, I think this is going to take a while.
07:48In South London at St John the Baptist Church...
07:51Heavenly Father, we thank you for the pets that share our lives.
07:55Reverend Peter testifies...
07:59As for usual, my dog is being the loudest.
08:01Trespasses against his rescue dog, Lila...
08:04A first owner used her for backyard breeding.
08:07So, no real sort of love and affection.
08:10Have made her so nervous around strangers...
08:13People are not joining his flock.
08:16Can't help feeling they're not going to want to come back too soon.
08:19And her unholy din also makes...
08:22Hi, Peter. Hello.
08:23A visit to his rectory, hellish.
08:26Somebody's coming and they're upset.
08:28The last thing they want to be is barked out by a loud dog.
08:32And it's an amen from Graham.
08:36I think her background explains the problem you've got.
08:39All she knows is strangers and bad news.
08:42The only question, I suppose, is like,
08:44alright, is there anything you're doing that might be making it worse?
08:46Well, you've got this method of like,
08:48well, we put her upside down and it is the feeling of being cuddled,
08:51so she feels that that's very rewarding, right?
08:53But what about the timing of that?
08:55She's like, if I feel uncomfortable, I can bark
08:58and I might get a little cuddle and I like being cuddled,
09:01so I'll do more barking when I'm uncomfortable.
09:04Aha. That makes sense? Yeah.
09:05Addicted to the cuddles.
09:06Yeah, kind of, I think. Yeah.
09:08But there was a moment when I heard you say to Lila...
09:12Lila?
09:13Good girl.
09:15That's all it was.
09:16And she went, oh, sorry, Dad.
09:18But it might just need a nudge now and again.
09:21You know, er, Lila?
09:22Makes sense.
09:25Lila is anxious, really nervous.
09:27She doesn't like strangers, sees them as dangerous, I suppose.
09:30And we've got to get her over that.
09:32We've got to get her used to understanding that,
09:34actually, people are fine.
09:35How do we do that bit by bit?
09:37I don't want to drop her in the deep end
09:38by trying to do some training with a full congregation of people in there.
09:42Let's introduce them bit by bit, one at a time.
09:44To teach Lila that only when she lets parishioners into her life...
09:49Yay!
09:50Good girl.
09:52..will she receive the love she craves,
09:55Graham's brought her to church.
09:57So here's my plan.
09:58I've got a whole lot of your congregation around the corner.
10:01They're going to come over.
10:02We'll say hello, chat to them.
10:03If she's barking, then we can deploy her quick, you know, Lila.
10:07If that nudge is enough for her to go, yeah, OK, sorry,
10:10then she gets a little cuddle from one or both of you.
10:13The most important thing is rewarding good behaviour.
10:17And, in this case, Perez beats a dog.
10:19Oh.
10:19Nice.
10:20Nice.
10:21I've been dying to say that all day.
10:23Shall we...?
10:23You've got it out of your system now.
10:25Yeah, I have.
10:26Have you forgiven me?
10:28Just.
10:28Well, only because it's my job.
10:30Yeah.
10:33Good.
10:34Once she's calmed down, seems OK with the person,
10:37we'll let them in the church.
10:38And then, next person, next person, and then she joins
10:41and away you go.
10:44Can we have our first visitor, please?
10:46But if Peter and Anne-Marie...
10:49Hello, you're nice.
10:50Ooh, we're full of excited.
10:50..don't follow Graham's commandment...
10:53There you go. Lila.
10:54OK.
10:55..to withhold their warm embrace...
10:57Hello?
10:58No.
10:58Lila!
10:59No.
11:00Yeah.
11:01Careful.
11:02Because you'll be cuddling up for being naughty if you...
11:05Yeah.
11:05..yeah.
11:07Instead of accepting new worshippers...
11:10You've got to be patient.
11:12..she'll continue...
11:13Lila.
11:14..to drive them away.
11:16Lila.
11:17Well, I think this is going to take a while.
11:19I mean, she is really persistent.
11:21Lila.
11:21I think we just have to wait it out.
11:23We've got to keep the faith, really.
11:24Lila.
11:27Good girl.
11:29Just about to praise her...
11:31..and she starts again.
11:32Yeah.
11:33Yeah.
11:33Yeah.
11:33I feel you a pain.
11:34Lyla.
11:41By keeping the faith, Reverend Peter's proved...
11:45Good girl.
11:47That's good girl.
11:48That's good girl.
11:48Good girl.
11:50Good things come to those that...
11:52Good girl.
11:52Good girl.
11:53Mary and Ile.
11:53Good girl.
11:56Oh, everybody still loves me then, of course we do.
12:00I think you could go into the church now please, thank you, there we go, down you go again.
12:08But has Lila, can we have our next person please, seen enough of the light, good girl,
12:14to accept all creatures, there we go, oh, there's a person with us, oh, that was a good
12:20start, oh, that's really good, right, would you like to go inside the church please, what
12:28started to happen is she's ignoring the people, nice to see you, good girl Lila, and pay more
12:34attention to mum and dad, and I'm fine with that, earning cuddles, good, lovely, and even
12:40treats, that's lovely, oh, that was very good, for heavenly welcomes, not a peep, yeah, will
12:49her conversion, maybe the pennies drop, sustain, what if we had two people and two dogs all
12:55at once, when worshippers arrive, two by two, okay, come on over, put it to the test, because
13:01that happens doesn't it, yeah, they don't all come one by one are they, no, that's it, I
13:07didn't even notice you, hello, were you all right, oh, that's a lovely look, you're looking
13:11a bit nervous plus, this is nice, this is how it's meant to be, oh, happy days.
13:19Lila might be greeting strangers at the church door, very good, but her greatest sins are
13:26committed inside it, where she drowns out the word of God, apologies for the noise, especially
13:33Lila all the way through, to bring lasting peace, Graham will need to pull off a miracle,
13:46Graham's devoted his career, see what we've got here there, to fixing our furry friends,
13:53oh, that's puzzling, but he gets inundated with queries not just about their behaviour,
14:01I get a lot of questions from people about dogs well-being, that isn't strictly to do with
14:05training, so he wants to help all dogs, good boy Sidney, be as happy and healthy as possible,
14:11hello buddy, to do it, just going to zoom in, he's gathered a team of professionals,
14:18working in veterinary medicine, good results, grooming, good girl princess, and pet nutrition,
14:25this is a probiotic powder, we can introduce this and actually get his gut starting to reset,
14:32well I've been getting quite a few enquiries this week, from people with itchy dogs, and there's
14:37one here, from a lady called Millie, she's in Manchester, and she's got a Frenchie, with
14:42what I think is an itchy problem, but it's a bit different this one,
14:47hi Graham, I'm Millie, and this is Tank, and Tank likes to touch and rub his private area,
14:55and I'm not really sure what to do about it, so I was just wondering if you had any advice
14:59on,
15:00he's doing it now, how you could help, really, darling, I really just need to do this,
15:09awkward, all right, I see your problem, is he itchy, what else is going on?
15:18For an irresistible doggy itch, a vet check is recommended, and Graham's heading to Oldham
15:24to consult one, who will investigate why Tank tackles his tackle,
15:30what's interesting is that Frenchies to some extent need to use their paws to clean down there,
15:36and, you know, it can cause a certain amount of embarrassment with people who are on looking,
15:42because, you know, you wouldn't understand that, would you?
15:46But before he introduces vet May to Tank,
15:50Morning, hi, it's Millie, yeah?
15:51Hi, yes, hi, okay.
15:53He wants to find out...
15:54You've got a rather embarrassing problem, are you?
15:56Well, I don't know.
15:57...how this Frenchie's fiddling affects Millie.
16:02So, in what sort of situations does he do it then?
16:04I'm a stay-at-home dog mum on the internet.
16:07You're a what?
16:07Stay-at-home dog mum on the internet.
16:09So, we do social media, so we vlog our day-to-day life.
16:14Oh, I see.
16:15It does get views.
16:16Every time I post a video of him doing it, it will go viral,
16:18but I also don't want to be known and don't want him to be known as the pornographic dog.
16:25As well as a vet, May Yin...
16:27Oh, I know, you're so brave.
16:30...is a pet health vlogger.
16:31Have you got Tank and Millie?
16:33Ah, me.
16:34Come on in.
16:35There's so much misinformation on the internet, on social media,
16:38so it is important to have more vets spreading the correct evidence-based advice
16:42to help our pet owners.
16:45This is Tank.
16:46He's got a bit of an embarrassing problem, May.
16:48Okay.
16:49So, essentially, Tank likes to fiddle and rub his boy parts.
16:55Okay.
16:56Now, my issue is, is he doing it for attention?
16:59Or has he got an infection?
17:02I've got a few videos.
17:04Oh, okay.
17:04Oh, yeah, right.
17:06Oh, bless him.
17:08The first thing to rule out...
17:11Check your paws.
17:12Good boy.
17:13..is infection.
17:15It can be normal for dogs to have a bit of discharge.
17:18So, just retract the sheaf.
17:20And in both male and female dogs...
17:23Good boy.
17:25Discoloured nasal, eye and genital discharge...
17:28So, the discharge is quite greenish.
17:31..can provide vital clues.
17:33If it's yellowish, milky colour, it can be normal, but this just gives off a little bit of...
17:38Green, that's not good, is it?
17:40This could be normal for him, but the only way to know is to send it off to the lab
17:46to see if it's an actual infection.
17:48I would also advise to start on a course of anti-inflammatories, waiting for the results to see if we
17:55need any antibiotics, basically.
17:57Okay.
17:58So, maybe he's not just an attention seeker?
18:01Difficult to say, because him messing with it can also lead to an infection.
18:06So, did the inflammation cause him to be scratching it, or did the scratching cause the inflammation, we don't know.
18:11Yeah, okay, right.
18:12But we do know we can treat it.
18:14Yes, we do know we can treat it.
18:16Thank you so much.
18:19Bye.
18:20Take care.
18:21Bye-bye now.
18:27While Millie waits for Tank's test results, Graham's heading 90 miles south for an out-of-hours appointment in Northampton.
18:37Well, it's early in the morning, a lot earlier than I normally come and see a client, but the people
18:42I'm off to see...
18:43They try and get their dog walk out the way before anybody's about,
18:48and it sounds like it's quite the military operation.
18:53When retired firefighter Pete and wife Debbie...
18:57It looks like he's going to war.
19:00...take deerhound Borzoi Cross Boris out...
19:03Leads are double-linked.
19:05..he's dressed for riot control.
19:08All looks pretty clear.
19:09But as soon as he sees another canine...
19:14It's the three-year-old...
19:16..who causes a public disturbance.
19:19No.
19:20He goes on his hindquarters.
19:22That is well over six feet.
19:26That's fighting to watch.
19:29Holding on to their 50-kilo combatant...
19:32Enough.
19:33..is a two-soldier job.
19:37I do the front lead now, don't I?
19:39Yeah, and I'm the anchor.
19:40Just give that extra weight if he does do something.
19:46Pete hoped to spend his retirement...
19:49This really is my happy place.
19:51..on his allotment with Boris.
19:53Oh, look at that.
19:54I just want to share it.
19:55But that's not in Boris's battle plan.
19:59Everyone looks forward to retiring.
20:01I wanted to share everything with him,
20:02and we can't do that.
20:03I can't bring him.
20:04It's just...
20:05It's so sad.
20:06So I don't get to enjoy it with my best friend.
20:12Morning.
20:13Hello.
20:14Well, this must be Boris, is it?
20:15Yes, this is Boris.
20:16You're friendly.
20:17You're going to be all right.
20:18Oh, hello.
20:18You're sweet.
20:19And yet he's tacked up like a war horse.
20:21Well, we're on the lookout all the time for...
20:24Ah, right.
20:24..on the dogs, because he reacts.
20:26But it's like Jekyll and Hyde.
20:29Nah.
20:29Go on, then.
20:30What was the dog?
20:37Wow.
20:38Yeah, OK.
20:40Slow down.
20:42Stop.
20:43Walking Boris to Pete's allotment...
20:44Dog to the left.
20:45OK, seen it.
20:46To the left.
20:47..has become a dangerous game...
20:49Dog in front.
20:49Good boy.
20:50..of hide-and-seek.
20:51We can get behind this van.
20:53And just stay...
20:54We're taking cover, are we?
20:55Yeah.
20:56Just stay here.
20:56He won't see her.
20:57Hopefully.
20:58Wait till she comes past.
21:00Yeah.
21:02So we have the enemy under observation.
21:04Yeah.
21:08Come on.
21:09I think we're safe to go now.
21:10Yeah.
21:11Advance.
21:12Good boy.
21:13Wow.
21:13Good boy.
21:14Good boy.
21:14That's it.
21:15Stay there.
21:16Keep going.
21:17Well, we can't, because the dog's up there.
21:18Well, go on, then.
21:19We'd better cross the road, I suppose, don't we?
21:20Yeah.
21:20Come on, then.
21:20All right.
21:21Come on.
21:21Come on.
21:21Let's go.
21:22Good boy.
21:23Good boy.
21:24Pete used to walk Boris solo.
21:26Good boy.
21:27I was walking him on my own.
21:29Until then, I did.
21:30But a serious skirmish forced a doubling of the guard.
21:34We saw a little puppy across the road.
21:37He then, when he pulled me like Superman, one inch off the ground, right across the pavement,
21:42right across the road, and onto their drive.
21:44Blimey.
21:44Yeah.
21:45I broke my hand, and I've broken ribs, and bashed my head.
21:51Blimey.
21:51Yeah.
21:52It wasn't good.
21:52I was come back with blood, didn't I?
21:54Yeah, you did.
21:55And you haven't walked him on your own since?
21:56No.
21:59We've been out for about an hour, and we haven't got to the allotment yet, is it?
22:03No.
22:03It's over there.
22:04Just across the road.
22:05Blimey.
22:06And we're there.
22:06If you weren't walking him, it would have taken 30 seconds to walk to there, wouldn't
22:09it?
22:10Exactly.
22:12Dog coming.
22:14Good boy.
22:15No.
22:27Come on.
22:28Come on, Boris.
22:28Off you go.
22:29All right.
22:29Come on, Boris.
22:30Mr Angry.
22:31God.
22:32Right.
22:33Hang on.
22:34That's it.
22:34Good boy.
22:34There you go.
22:35To try and broker a ceasefire.
22:37This is for me onions and shallots.
22:40Oh, yeah.
22:40They'll go in the end of the week.
22:42Graham needs to understand.
22:44And that small one's going to be garlic.
22:46Why Boris went to war.
22:49So what was going on in your life when you got him?
22:52Well, I was coming up to retirement.
22:54Ah, yeah.
22:55I was a firefighter for 15 years and then went into working with the NHS.
23:02Oh, did you?
23:02Yeah.
23:02Oh, interesting.
23:03Debbie works and she's going to be working for the next few years.
23:06Right.
23:07So I wanted my own dog, my friend, to come with me always.
23:11Yeah.
23:11So that was the dream.
23:12He was brilliant.
23:13And it was the dream come true.
23:16It was working so well.
23:18And then something changed, did it?
23:20Something changed with me.
23:21Unfortunately, I became very ill, found out that I've got a bowel disease.
23:25Oh, dear.
23:25Well, I was very unwell.
23:27I was in bed for a long time.
23:28Right.
23:28And then he'd forever smell in my breath.
23:31OK.
23:32First thing in the morning, wasn't it?
23:33Yeah, first thing in the morning.
23:34So you think the smell in the breath is obviously significant.
23:36He could smell something different going on inside.
23:39And then what happened when you got out and about with him again?
23:42That was it.
23:43Suddenly he was reactive and he'd never been reactive.
23:46I really believe that he's protecting me.
23:49I think he's decided that I've got to protect my dad because he's not well.
23:56You've got to feel for Peter, haven't you?
23:58I mean, a whole lifetime given over to public service.
24:01And then he retires and thinks, oh, well, you know, I'll have a dog as a companion.
24:05And then the dream's turned into a nightmare, hasn't it?
24:11I'm not going to sugarcoat it.
24:13It's dangerous.
24:14Every single walk could end in a 999 call.
24:20Whoa.
24:21Boris, no.
24:23No.
24:24Coming up.
24:25Can I come in?
24:26Will Lila...
24:27You can just keep your fingers too, sir.
24:29Will do.
24:29...stop being a pain in the rectory?
24:32It would be much nicer if you weren't met with a welcome like that.
24:36The thing about Rafa is we call it Velcro fur.
24:39It's electric at the groomers.
24:42The longer is the hair, the more stack it creates.
24:44OK.
24:45And can Graham...
24:47Put your legs up that.
24:48A bit of that if you like.
24:49That's it?
24:49Oh, that's it.
24:50Now you look the first.
24:51Get Boris to...
24:53Stand down.
24:54Stand down.
25:00In Northampton...
25:01It looks like he's going to war.
25:03After Boris noticed...
25:05He'd forever smell in my breath.
25:07Wait.
25:07Pete was seriously unwell.
25:10I became very ill and suddenly he was reactive.
25:13Really?
25:15He became so combative...
25:18I broke my hand and ribs and bashed my head.
25:22It's ruined Pete's peaceful retirement plans.
25:26I would love to take him to the heart, man.
25:28The only problem is it's a dangerous walk to go just round the block.
25:33He believes Boris is defending him because of his illness.
25:38I think he's decided that I've got to protect my dad because he's not well.
25:43But Graham does not.
25:48I actually think there's a good chance he just thought you wouldn't protect him.
25:53Right.
25:53You see what I mean?
25:54Yes, I do, yeah.
25:55I think he's probably gone, I don't think he's going to defend.
25:58Maybe I need to defend myself.
26:00So he's like, right, stand back.
26:01I can deal with this.
26:02I can make myself big and horrible.
26:06Right.
26:06Yes.
26:07Yeah.
26:07So we need to reassure him that you've got this now, you know, you're recovering now,
26:12you're a lot better.
26:13And I think we need to get you back into that position of, well, leadership in effect.
26:20Graham's theory is the opposite that we've always believed, but it makes so much sense.
26:24It could be the other way around, really.
26:25It could be the other way around.
26:26Go on, then.
26:27Go on.
26:28Good boy.
26:29Yeah, Mum.
26:29I need to show Boris that actually Peter, his dad, he's got his energy back and he's back
26:35to his old self.
26:37To convince Boris Pete's fighting fit...
26:40Lovely.
26:41Right.
26:41Graham will start this training exercise...
26:44Well, it's a nice little spot, this, isn't it?
26:46Yes.
26:46...in a demilitarised zone.
26:50This is Kate and she's got Bebe with her now.
26:53How do you feel about getting a bit nearer?
26:55Well, we have to, don't we?
26:57If we don't get closer, we won't train him, will we?
27:00No, you're right.
27:00So you and I, Debbie, are going to keep hold of Boris just in case.
27:04And then, Peter, I'm going to have you in front because it's a natural leadership position.
27:08Not from behind, out the front.
27:09Stood there, looking the part, it's going to be a bit like this.
27:12Bit of a wide stand.
27:14That looks like somebody who knows what he's doing, doesn't it?
27:16Yep.
27:16So, if you're Boris, I'm going to be like this, right?
27:19OK.
27:20And if you misbehave, it's like, stand down.
27:22OK.
27:23If he's a good boy, we can tell him he's a good boy.
27:26Yeah.
27:26So we're rewarding him for seeing a dog and doing nothing.
27:31Graham hopes a commanding stance...
27:33Put your legs apart, a bit of that if you like.
27:36That's it? Oh, that's it. Now you've got the pass.
27:38And a crystal clear order...
27:40Stand down.
27:42..will show Boris Pete can protect him.
27:44You're in charge.
27:45..and lead from the front.
27:48Come on.
27:52Oh, this is good.
27:53Oh, OK.
27:55Limey.
27:56Oh, he's feeling brave.
27:59Deep into no-man's land...
28:01Just here. Stop.
28:04Yeah.
28:05Good boy.
28:07That's better.
28:07Good boy.
28:08Boris appears to be trusting his drill sergeant.
28:12See the difference?
28:12Yes.
28:13And, come on.
28:14But will Pete remember his orders...
28:17Good boy.
28:18Slow down.
28:19..when Boris comes face-to-face with his foe?
28:22What?
28:23No, no, no!
28:24Now that was frustrating.
28:25No!
28:26I think that was just frustrating.
28:27OK.
28:28No, no.
28:28Stand down.
28:29Stand down.
28:30Well done.
28:31Stand down.
28:31Well done, Pete.
28:32You took control there.
28:34You stepped in.
28:35You really looked the part, you know.
28:37It's like, stand down.
28:38And he went, oh, right.
28:41Good boy.
28:42Peter was really good.
28:44Good boy.
28:46He's beginning to look like a man who's taken back control.
28:49Boris is learning his platoon leader has his back.
28:53Well, I've upped the ante.
28:55But these manoeuvres are about to get tougher.
28:59Norman's an American bulldog.
29:00Just the sort of dog that would create a reaction.
29:03Yes.
29:03Oh, yes, definitely.
29:04I mean, he's clocked him.
29:05He's seen him.
29:06Yeah.
29:06All right.
29:07Well, you're in charge.
29:08Right?
29:08Come on.
29:09Yeah.
29:10Good lad.
29:11As one unit...
29:12And stop.
29:13..closes in on the other...
29:15Good boy.
29:16Come on.
29:17..can Pete keep control...
29:19And I'm going to stop here.
29:20Yeah.
29:20Stop.
29:21Super.
29:22..if the big guns sound off.
29:24No, that's it.
29:25Stand down.
29:27Stand down.
29:28Stand down.
29:28Well done.
29:29Stand down.
29:31Stand down.
29:32That's it.
29:33Stick...
29:33No.
29:34Stick to your guns.
29:35No.
29:37Well done.
29:37Good boy.
29:38Good boy.
29:39Eh?
29:39Good boy.
29:40That's it.
29:41That's better.
29:41Well done.
29:42You did well there.
29:43Because he's got a big bark on him as well.
29:45As soon as he barks...
29:46It's all right.
29:48Boris.
29:49No.
29:49Well done.
29:50No.
29:50Boris.
29:52Boris.
29:52That is brilliant.
29:53He just went, all right, I'll take your word for it, Dad.
29:57Oh, hello.
29:59I'm really pleased with the way it's gone in the field.
30:01However, I think we need to take this back to the real world.
30:05Pete has got a problem walking down his own street.
30:09On a two-year tour of duty...
30:13..marching Boris round the corner to Pete's allotment...
30:16Look in front.
30:17Good boy.
30:18..has been a dangerous mission.
30:20Behind this van.
30:21We're taking cover, are we?
30:23..behind enemy lines.
30:24We've been out for about an hour, and we haven't got the allotment yet, is it?
30:29Over there.
30:29Just across the road.
30:31That's it.
30:31That's better, isn't it?
30:32Now...
30:34Stand down.
30:35Oh, well done.
30:35Stand down.
30:36Pete might get...
30:37Keep going.
30:38That's a good boy.
30:39..the R&R in his retirement.
30:41All right.
30:41Well done, you.
30:42Well done.
30:43He's dreamt of.
30:45Well...
30:45He's seen that dog.
30:47Good boy!
30:49Good boy!
30:50No reaction.
30:51Good boy.
30:52Fantastic.
30:53Lovely.
30:54I really think he's seen you in a different light now, Peter.
30:57I'm looking forward to retirement now.
30:59Yeah.
30:59And also, taking my best friend out on my own.
31:03Happy days.
31:04I'm off now.
31:05I'm going.
31:05I've got to go.
31:08I know.
31:09I love you, too.
31:09Good boy.
31:10Right.
31:10He's a lovely lad, isn't he?
31:12Bye-bye.
31:12Bye.
31:13Bye-bye.
31:17That's it.
31:25Leaving Pete to enjoy his retirement,
31:28Graham's busy keeping the UK's dogs happy and healthy.
31:33You'd think that washing a dog would be easy, wouldn't you?
31:36But it's really important to do it in the right way,
31:39because one bad bathing experience can leave them with serious anxiety
31:43for the rest of their life.
31:44You could end up with a dog who's afraid of water or even being touched,
31:49and you can see how that would have a really big impact on everyday life.
31:53To learn the correct way to wash a dog,
31:56Graham's headed to Surrey.
31:57Lovely here.
31:58To introduce Malcolm, Patrick, and their pack of three standard poodles...
32:04Come on, boys.
32:05...to Kostin Stoyker, an award-winning groomer...
32:08Good morning!
32:09...who knows about bathing any breed of dog with any type of coat.
32:15And who do you have here?
32:17Roger.
32:17Roger?
32:18Yeah.
32:18This is Rafa, isn't it?
32:20Rafa, my God, the hairy monster.
32:21And Andy.
32:22The hairy monster, as you call him, Rafa, is in a grooming competition.
32:26Oh, is it?
32:27Oh, that's my expertise, then.
32:29So we're keeping his hair long.
32:31Yes.
32:32No pressure Kostin.
32:33But the other thing about Rafa is we call it Velcro fur.
32:37Okay.
32:37So whenever we go on a walk, he attracts the leaves.
32:41Roger just falls off him.
32:43Nothing touches him.
32:44It's because the longer the hair is, the more static creates.
32:48It's like the old thing of two balloons.
32:50You're rubbing together and everything sticks to them.
32:52Yes.
32:52I do recommend to be bathed once a week.
32:55Once a week.
32:55Shall we get washing dogs?
32:58To keep your dog calm in the bath...
33:01So you have the button here?
33:03Yeah.
33:03Get them used to the water.
33:05We go a little low, not that much pressure, yeah?
33:07Okay.
33:08..by keeping the shower flow low.
33:11I always start to wet the jacket, and then the last will be the head.
33:16And wet their bodies first.
33:18Can we do it?
33:19Yeah.
33:19Yeah.
33:20There we go, buddy.
33:23Bottom up.
33:24Good boy.
33:26Head now, no?
33:27Head now, yeah, and the ear.
33:29Before working your way up...
33:31Always avoid the nose.
33:34..taking special care around the face.
33:36Good boy.
33:38You're used to this, aren't you?
33:39He's a good boy.
33:40Hey?
33:40Perfect.
33:41When it comes to lathering shampoo and conditioner...
33:45You want that conditioner and you want that shampoo to really go into the skin.
33:50Don't be afraid to get hands-on.
33:53So you are like this, like fluffy, but you need to be like this.
33:56Oh, right, OK.
33:56All right.
33:57Yeah?
33:57Which can relax them.
33:59It's a massage.
34:00It's like a spa stream.
34:01Yeah.
34:02And so will reassuring communication.
34:04Come on, Baba.
34:05Good boy.
34:06Where is that good boy?
34:08Positive response is really important.
34:09I talk with my dogs all the time in the bath.
34:12A thorough rinsing...
34:13If you leave any conditioner or any shampoo, they can have skin problems.
34:18...prevents products from irritating their skin.
34:21So what do you do?
34:22You hold it like a pen.
34:24And what I do...
34:25All right.
34:25That's good.
34:26You see?
34:26All right.
34:27So I don't splash the water.
34:28And with this, I scrub everything, everything, everything.
34:33To keep them zen...
34:34This is like my first towel that I'm going to use.
34:37A correctly applied chamois speeds drying.
34:40You don't rub, you pat.
34:42I never do this to the dog because I think it's the worst thing to do to the dog because
34:47it's going to come really madly.
34:49And then we're going to use a micro towel.
34:53Because of their sensitive hearing...
34:55The worst part for dogs is when you dry them.
34:58Blow drying can be where it all goes wrong.
35:01All right.
35:01So we're going to give one to Malcolm.
35:02Yeah.
35:04To muffle the dryer's din...
35:06Make sure the ear canal is covered.
35:08Use an ear snood.
35:10Perfect.
35:10Good boy.
35:11Which also helps them feel safer.
35:14The feel of cuddle.
35:15It's very factory.
35:16You look very nice.
35:18A slow and steady technique...
35:21Good boy.
35:22...will help avoid tangles.
35:25So the idea is to not do this.
35:28Because if you do this...
35:29Matty.
35:29Matty, yeah.
35:30So we have to be really slow.
35:32Right.
35:32And for hope, the process is exactly the same.
35:39So now I want to put them on the table.
35:41Okay.
35:42Perfect.
35:43Follow these steps...
35:45Great.
35:46And you should end up with a calm...
35:49That's one we did earlier.
35:50He's looking beautiful.
35:52...clean and easy to comb dog.
35:55Hola.
35:56Hi, Mum.
35:56Feel that, Malcolm.
35:57I know.
35:58It's like a cloud, isn't it?
35:59Yeah.
36:03He's produced three pristine poodles.
36:07But until Lila can hold her peace in church...
36:11As for you, for my dog, it's been the loudest.
36:15...and allow Reverend Peter to grow his flock...
36:18Can I come in?
36:19You can.
36:19Just keep your fingers just out.
36:21Will do.
36:21Graham's week is far from done.
36:31Hello.
36:32Hiya.
36:34Before resting on the Sabbath, Graham must finish God's work in Catford.
36:39No.
36:41Where after he realised...
36:44Careful, because you'll be cuddling enough for being naughty.
36:46Lila was barking for attention...
36:49Good girl.
36:50Now she can get a cuddle.
36:51She allowed worshippers to cross the threshold.
36:54Right.
36:55I think you can go into the church now, please.
36:57At her reverend father's church.
37:01There we go.
37:02Now, Lila must perform another miracle...
37:06...that would have been impossible before.
37:08Congregation of people.
37:09I've been group of strangers to her.
37:11Terrifying.
37:13To stay saintly silent inside church...
37:17...surrounded by worshippers.
37:19The lives that we've shared with them as well.
37:22All creation praises you, Lord.
37:24Earlier, Lila rained down such a deafening din...
37:27And your faithful servants bless you.
37:30...instead of the word of God...
37:31As for usual, my dog is being the loudest.
37:33...the congregation only received...
37:35I have to yell to be heard over her.
37:38...the word of dog.
37:39I could hear the vicar's lips moving.
37:41Apologies for the noise.
37:43But I couldn't hear much...
37:44...because we were set right behind his dog.
37:50I have a feeling they're not going to want to come back too soon.
37:56But can Peter ride the storm?
37:59I thought it would be nice just to celebrate...
38:01...by singing together.
38:02...and deny her the attention she covets.
38:05Sit or stand as you feel comfortable as we sing together.
38:08Until she holds her peace.
38:16All things bright and beautiful
38:21All creatures great and small
38:24All things wise and wonderful
38:30The Lord proclaim it all
38:33Lo and behold
38:37It's a biblical turn around
38:41How great is God all mighty
38:47Who has made all things well
38:51All things bright and beautiful
38:56All creatures great and small
39:01All things wise and wonderful
39:05All things wise and wonderful
39:06The Lord God made them all
39:10Hey, hey, hey, hey
39:12Fantastic.
39:13Not a peep.
39:13Not a peep.
39:17That went well.
39:18Yes.
39:19It was beautifully quiet.
39:20Amazing.
39:21It was, yeah.
39:22Next time we have a pet service
39:24I'll be able to focus on the service a lot more
39:26Which will make life a lot easier
39:30The way Delilah was
39:31While we were singing the hymn
39:33Was
39:33Well, it's a proper hallelujah moment
39:35It's brilliant
39:37However, there is another problem
39:40Peter has a very important part of his job
39:42Looking after people
39:43Talking to people one to one
39:45In the rectory
39:48So the last thing you want
39:49Is a dog who's barking or lunging at you
39:52And that's exactly what's happening
39:53Hello, hello
39:54We all right?
39:56Lila's loving her neighbours at church
39:58This is life
39:59This is how it's meant to be
40:00Good girl
40:01But will she allow them into her heart
40:04At home?
40:06I'm going to suggest
40:07That we get her in the room
40:08With the person who comes to visit
40:09However, I think we get them in first
40:11Get them sat down
40:14They're less imposing
40:17Hi, Glenn
40:18Hi Peter, how are you?
40:20Not bad
40:20Come on through
40:23Hello, Glenn
40:24Grab a seat
40:25Thank you
40:25Right
40:26Let's go for it, Peter
40:27Again, Reverend Peter must follow Graham's holy order
40:33Here we go
40:35And ignore any Aggie attention-seeking
40:38Hello
40:38This way
40:39Nobody there
40:40There
40:41Good girl
40:42Good girl
40:42Hello you
40:43Good girl
40:44Okay
40:45Who's a good girl?
40:46Who's a good girl, Lila?
40:50Well, that is a turn up for the books
40:52Good girl
40:53Good girl
40:54So she's like, yeah, whatever
40:56Hello
40:56She's checking you out now
40:58Good girl
40:59Yeah
41:00Yeah
41:00It's another miracle
41:02How's this comparison?
41:03I'm all right
41:04This is like a step change
41:05I mean, she feels really calm
41:08Amazing
41:09Happy days
41:10Good girl
41:13For the last three years
41:16Lila's sinful ways
41:17Can I come in?
41:18You can just keep your fingers to yourself
41:20Will do
41:20Have made visits to the rectory hellish
41:24Want a treat?
41:26Do you dare try and give her one?
41:27Lila
41:28That's a good one
41:29Now she may have opened her heart
41:31Look at these
41:32Oh, you are honoured
41:33Look at that
41:34To all God's creatures
41:35Miracles can happen
41:37Yeah, you see
41:38How do you feel about that, Peter?
41:40Relieved
41:41Yeah, that's fair
41:42Yeah
41:43Yeah, it's gonna make a real difference
41:45Amazing
41:50I'm like, where did this come from?
41:52It
41:52Was it important to
41:53Keep the faith with the process?
41:56Yeah
41:56Do you know what?
41:57Today of all days
41:58Yes, that was true
42:10In Northampton
42:11Hi Graham
42:12Pete is now top dog
42:14You gave me the confidence to be the alpha
42:16And take control of him
42:18Instead of letting him control me
42:20And Boris' walking is slowly improving
42:23Really, really appreciate what you did for us
42:26Thank you
42:26Thanks very much
42:29In London, Rafa made it to the dog show
42:32Unfortunately Rafa didn't get placed
42:34But we've now got the skills to ensure that we can keep Rafa and Roger
42:39And of course baby Andy immaculate
42:42In Cheshire
42:43Hi Graham
42:44The test results came back positive for an infection
42:48And we treated that with antibiotics
42:51Sadly, the behaviour
42:53Fiddling with the boy parts
42:55Has stayed the same
42:57So it's completely behavioural, attention-seeking, naughtiness
43:02And in Catford
43:03All quiet at the back at the moment
43:05Lila continues to be angelic
43:09I thought she was asleep
43:10I know
43:11She's just been really quiet
43:14Miraculous
43:15If you think your badly behaved dog could do with Graham's help
43:18Then why not get in touch?
43:20Details can be found at www.channel5.com
43:24forward slash take part
43:28Ziggy, no!
43:32And Graham's back next Tuesday at 8
43:34A global internet outage causes chaos
43:37A casualty 24-7 where every second counts
43:41New tomorrow at 8
43:42Next, a scavenger hunt in the sun
43:45Takes a shady turn in the streets of Valletta
43:47It's the new series of The Good Ship Murder
43:50Subtitum
43:52New Therapy
