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.
11:28Lila.
11:29..just about to praise her and she starts again.
11:32Yeah.
11:32Yeah, I feel your pain.
11:34Yeah.
11:34Lila.
11:36Lila.
11:37Lila.
11:38Lila.
11:39Lila.
11:41Lila.
11:43Lila.
11:45Lila.
11:45Lila.
11:46Lila.
11:47Lila.
11:48Lila.
11:50Lila.
11:51Lila.
11:52Very nice.
11:53Lila.
11:54Lila.
11:55Lila.
11:56It's like, oh, everybody still loves me, then.
11:59Yeah, of course we do.
11:59Yeah.
12:00I think you could go into the church now, please.
12:04There we go.
12:05Down you go again.
12:07Ooh, we've got you.
12:08But has Lila...
12:10Can we have our next person, please?
12:12...seen enough of the light...
12:14Good girl.
12:14...to accept all creatures?
12:17There we go.
12:18There's a person with us.
12:19Oh, that was a good start.
12:20Yeah, nice and easy.
12:22Oh, that's really good.
12:24Right.
12:24Would you like to go inside the church, please?
12:27What's starting to happen is she's ignoring the people.
12:31Nice to see you.
12:32Good girl, Lila.
12:34And pay more attention to mum and dad.
12:35And I'm fine with that.
12:37Earning cuddles...
12:38Good. Lovely.
12:40..and even treats.
12:41That's lovely.
12:42Yeah.
12:43Oh, that was very good.
12:44..for heavenly welcomes.
12:46Not a peep.
12:47Yeah.
12:49Will her conversion...
12:50Maybe the pennies drop.
12:53..sustain...
12:53What if we had two people and two dogs all at once?
12:56When worshippers arrive, two by two.
12:59OK, come on over.
13:00Put it to the test.
13:01Because that happens, doesn't it?
13:02Yeah.
13:02They don't all come one by one, are they?
13:04No.
13:05Oh.
13:06That's it.
13:07I didn't even notice yet.
13:08Hello, hello.
13:08Are you all right?
13:09Oh, that's a lovely look.
13:10You're looking a bit nervous, bless.
13:12This is nice.
13:13We do.
13:13This is how it's meant to be.
13:15Oh, happy days.
13:17Oh, happy days.
13:19Lila might be greeting strangers at the church door.
13:23Very good.
13:24But her greatest sins are committed inside it,
13:27where she drowns out the word of God.
13:31Apologies for the noise, especially Lila, all the way through.
13:35To bring lasting peace, Graham will need to pull off a miracle.
13:46Graham's devoted his career...
13:48See what we've got here, then.
13:50..to fixing our furry friends.
13:53Ooh, that's puzzling.
13:55..but he gets inundated with queries not just about their behaviour.
14:01I get a lot of questions from people about dogs' well-being.
14:04That isn't strictly to do with training.
14:06..so he wants to help all dogs...
14:08Good boy, Sydney. ..be as happy and healthy as possible.
14:11Hello, buddy.
14:13..to do it...
14:14I'm just going to zoom in.
14:15..he's gathered a team of professionals working in veterinary medicine...
14:20Good results. ..grooming...
14:22Good girl, princess. ..and pet nutrition.
14:25This is a probiotic powder.
14:27..and we can introduce this and actually get his gut starting to reset.
14:32Well, I've been getting quite a few enquiries this week
14:35from people with itchy dogs,
14:36and there's one here from a lady called Millie.
14:39She's in Manchester, and she's got a friend sheet
14:42with what I think is an itchy problem,
14:45but it's a bit different, this one.
14:47Hi, Graham. I'm Millie, and this is Tank.
14:50And Tank likes to touch and rub his private area,
14:55and I'm not really sure what to do about it,
14:57so I was just wondering if you had any advice on...
15:00..he's doing it now.
15:03..how you could help?
15:05Really?
15:07..Darling, I really just need to do this.
15:10Awkward.
15:11Ow!
15:13All right, I see your problem. Is he itchy?
15:15What else is going on?
15:18For an irresistible doggy itch, a vet check is recommended,
15:23and Graham's heading to Oldham to consult one,
15:25who will investigate why Tank tackles his tackle.
15:30What's interesting is that Frenchies, to some extent,
15:33need to use their paws to clean down there,
15:36and, you know, it can cause a certain amount of embarrassment
15:39with 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? Hi.
15:51Yeah. Nice to meet you. Hi, OK.
15:52..he wants to find out...
15:54You've got a rather embarrassing problem, are you?
15:56Well, I don't know. ..how this Frenchies fiddling affects Millie.
16:02So, in what sort of situations does he do it, then?
16:04Erm, I'm a stay-at-home dog mum on the internet.
16:07You're a what?
16:07Stay-at-home dog mum on the internet.
16:10So, we do social media. Oh, yeah?
16:11So, we vlog our day-to-day life. Oh, 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
16:20as the pornographic dog.
16:23LAUGHTER
16:25As well as a vet, May Yin...
16:27Oh, I know, you're so brave.
16:30..is a pet health care.
16:31Have you got Tank and Millie? Hi.
16:33Ah, me. Come on in. Come on in.
16:35There's so much misinformation on the internet, on social media,
16:38so it is important to have more vets spreading
16:40the correct evidence-based advice to help our pet owners.
16:45This is Tank. He's got a bit of an embarrassing problem, me.
16:48Erm... OK.
16:49So, essentially, Tank likes to fiddle and rub his boy parts.
16:55OK. Mm-hm.
16:56Now, my issue is, is he doing it for attention?
16:59..or has he got an infection?
17:01I've got a few videos.
17:04OK. Oh, yeah, right.
17:06Oh, bless him.
17:07LAUGHTER
17:08The first thing to rule out...
17:11Check your paws. Good boy. ..is infection.
17:15..it can be normal for dogs to have a bit of discharge.
17:18So, just retract the sheaf.
17:20..and in both male and female dogs...
17:23Good boy.
17:25..discoloured 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,
17:36but this just gives off a little bit of...
17:38Green, that's not good, is it?
17:40This could be normal for him,
17:41but 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...
17:54OK. ..waiting for the results
17:55to see if we need any antibiotics, basically.
17:57OK. OK.
17:59..so maybe he's not just an attention seeker?
18:01Difficult to say, because him messing with it
18:04can also lead to an infection.
18:06So, did the inflammation cause him to be scratching it,
18:09or did the scratching cause the inflammation?
18:11We don't know. Yeah, OK, 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. Take care and I'll see you.
18:21Bye-bye now.
18:27While Millie waits for Tank's test results,
18:30Graham's heading 90 miles south
18:33for an out-of-hours appointment in Northampton.
18:37Well, it's early in the morning,
18:39a lot earlier than I normally come and see a client,
18:41but the people I'm off to see...
18:43Ed in?
18:44..they try and get their dog walk out the way
18:47before anybody's about,
18:48and it sounds like it's quite the military operation.
18:52In with the...
18:54When retired firefighter Pete and wife Debbie...
18:57It looks like he's going to war.
19:00..take deerhound Borzoi Cross Boris out...
19:03..leads are double-linked.
19:05..he's dressed for riot control.
19:08It all looks pretty clear.
19:09..but as soon as he sees another canine...
19:14..it'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 a fine thing to watch.
19:29..holding on to their 50-kilo combatant...
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.
19:46..pete hoped to spend his retirement...
19:49..this really is my happy place.
19:51..on his allotment with Boris.
19:53Oh, look at that.
19:54I just want to share it.
19:55..but 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. I can't bring him.
20:04It's just... It's so sad.
20:06So I don't get to enjoy it with my best friend.
20:12Morning. Hello. Morning. Morning.
20:14Well, this must be Boris, is it?
20:15Yes, this is Boris.
20:16Are you friendly? Are you going to be all right?
20:18Oh, hello. You'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. ..on the dogs cos he reacts.
20:26But it's like Jekyll and Hyde.
20:28Nah. Go on, then. What was the dog?
20:38Wow. Yeah, OK.
20:40Slow down.
20:42Stop.
20:43Walking Boris to Pete's allotment...
20:44Dog to the left. OK. Seen it. To the left.
20:47..has become a dangerous game...
20:49Dog in front. Good boy. ..of hide-and-seek.
20:51We can get behind this van.
20:53And just stay... We're taking cover, are we?
20:55Yeah. Just stay here. He won't see her.
20:57All right. Hopefully.
20:58Wait till she comes past.
21:00Yeah.
21:02So we have the enemy under observation.
21:04Yeah.
21:08Come on. I think we're safe to go now.
21:10Yeah. Advance.
21:12Good boy.
21:13Good boy.
21:13Wow. Good boy.
21:14Good boy.
21:15That's it. Stay there.
21:16Keep going.
21:17Well, we can't cos the dog's up there.
21:18Well, go on, then. We'd better cross the road, I suppose, don't we?
21:20Yeah. Come on, then. All right.
21:21Come on. Let's go.
21:22Good boy.
21:23Good 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,
21:39one inch off the ground, right across the pavement,
21:42right across the road, and onto their drive.
21:44Slimey. Yeah.
21:45I broke my hand, and I've broken ribs, and bashed my head.
21:50So, yeah, it wasn't good.
21:53I always 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,
22:03is it?
22:03No. It'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,
22:09wouldn't it?
22:10Exactly.
22:12A dog coming.
22:14Good boy.
22:15No.
22:16Oh, God.
22:19Oh, God.
22:20Oh, God.
22:22Oh, God.
22:23That's what you want!
22:24No!
22:27Come on.
22:28Come on, Boris. Off you go.
22:29All right.
22:29Come on, Boris.
22:30Mr Angry.
22:31God!
22:32Right.
22:33Hang on.
22:33That's it.
22:34Good boy.
22:35There we 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.
22:46...why 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 smelling my breath.
23:31Okay.
23:31First thing in the morning, wasn't it?
23:33Yeah, first thing in the morning.
23:34So you think the smell of the breath is obviously significant.
23:36Because he 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.
23:45And he'd never been reactive.
23:46I really believe that he's protecting me.
23:49I think that 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, all right, 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.
24:15Every 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.
24:29Stop 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.
24:48Bit of that if you like.
24:49That's it.
24:49Oh, that's it.
24:50Now you look the best.
24:51Get Boris to...
24:53Stand down.
24:54Stand down.
25:00In Northampton...
25:01He looks like he's going to war.
25:02After 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,
25:20and bashed my head.
25:21Oh.
25:22It's ruined Pete's peaceful retirement plans.
25:26I would love to take him to the apartment.
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.
25:37I 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.
25:58Yeah.
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,
26:11you're recovering now, you're a lot better,
26:13and I think we need to get you back into that position of,
26:16well, leadership, in effect.
26:20Graham's theory is the opposite that we've always believed,
26:22but it makes so much sense.
26:24It could be the other way round, really.
26:25It could be the other way round.
26:26Go on, then.
26:27Go on.
26:28Good boy.
26:28Yeah, Mum.
26:29I need to show Boris that, actually, Peter, his dad,
26:33he's got his energy back, and he's back to 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,
27:06because it's 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,
27:26so we're rewarding him for seeing a dog and doing nothing.
27:30There you go.
27:31Graham hopes a commanding stance...
27:33Put your legs apart.
27:35A bit of that, if you like.
27:36That's it?
27:36Oh, that's it.
27:37Now you look the path.
27:38Right.
27:38And a crystal clear order...
27:40Stand down.
27:41..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.
27:53OK.
27:55Blimey.
27:56He's feeling brave.
27:59Deep into no-man's land...
28:01Just here.
28:02Stop.
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...
28:18Good boy.
28:18..when Boris comes face-to-face with his foe?
28:22What?
28:24Now, that was frustrating.
28:25I think that was just frustrating.
28:27OK.
28:28No, no, stand down.
28:29Stand down.
28:30Well done.
28:31Stand down.
28:31Well done, Pete.
28:32You took control there.
28:33You stepped in.
28:35You really looked the part.
28:36You know?
28:37It's like, stand down.
28:38And he went...
28:39Oh!
28:40Right.
28:41Good boy.
28:42Peter was really good.
28:44Good boy.
28:45He'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.
29:03Definitely.
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.
29:09Good boy.
29:11Good boy.
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.
29:25Yeah.
29:26Stand down.
29:27Stand down.
29:28Stand...
29:28Well done.
29:29Stand down.
29:30Stand 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.
29:42Well done.
29:42You did well there.
29:43Because he's got a big bark on him as well.
29:45As soon as he barks...
29:47Boris.
29:49No.
29:49No.
29:50Boris.
29:51Boris.
29:52That is brilliant.
29:53He just went, all right.
29:55I'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.
30:21We'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...
30:37That'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.
30:45He's seen that dog.
30:47Good boy.
30:49Good boy.
30:49Good boy.
30:51Good boy.
30:51No 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.
30:58Yeah.
30:59And also, taking my best friend out on my own.
31:03Happy days.
31:04He says, I'm off now.
31:05I'm going.
31:06I'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.
31:17That's it.
31:25Leaving Pete to enjoy his retirement, Graham'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 because one bad bathing experience
31:41can leave them with serious anxieties for 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 really big impact on everyday life.
31:53To learn the correct way to wash a dog, Graham's headed to Surrey.
31:57Lovely, yeah.
31:59To introduce Malcolm, Patrick and their pack of three standard poodles.
32:04Come on, boys.
32:05To Kostin Stoyker, an award-winning groomer.
32:08Good morning.
32:09Who knows about bathing any breed of dog with any type of coat.
32:15And who you have here?
32:17Roger.
32:17Roger.
32:18Yeah.
32:18This is Rafa, isn't it?
32:20Rafa.
32:20My 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.
32:37OK.
32:38So 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 is the hair, the more stack it creates.
32:48It's like the old thing of two balloons.
32:50You rub them 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?
33:08OK.
33:08By 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.
33:28And the ear.
33:29Before working your way up.
33:31Always avoid the nose.
33:34Taking special care around the face.
33:37Good boy.
33:38You're used to this, aren't you?
33:39He's a good boy.
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.
33:52So 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.
34:01And 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.
34:18Prevents products from irritating their skin.
34:21So what do you do?
34:22You hold it like a pen.
34:24And what I do, I go, you see.
34:26OK.
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.
34:44OK.
34:44Because I think it's the worst thing to do to the dog.
34:46Because it's going to go 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.
34:57Blow drying can be where it all goes wrong.
35:01Right, so 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.
35:09Oh, thank you.
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.
35:24So 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 hop, the process is exactly the same.
35:39So now I want to put him on the table.
35:41Okay.
35:42Perfect.
35:43Follow these steps...
35:45Great.
35:46...and 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 to yourself.
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.
36:40No.
36:42Where after he realised...
36:44Careful.
36:44Because you'll be cuddling up 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.
36:55I think you could go into the church now, please.
36:57At her reverend father's church.
37:01There we go.
37:02Now, Lila must perform another miracle that would have been impossible before.
37:08Congregation of people.
37:09A big group of strangers to her.
37:11Terrifying.
37:13To stay saintly silent inside church.
37:17Surrounded 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.
37:29Instead of the word of God.
37:31As for you, for my dog is being the loudest.
37:33The congregation only received...
37:36I have to yell to be heard over her.
37:38The word of dog.
37:39I could hear the vicar's lips moving.
37:41Apologies for the noise.
37:42But I couldn't hear much 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 by singing together.
38:02And deny her the attention she covets.
38:05Sit or stand as you feel comfortable as we sing together.
38:08Until she holds her peace.
38:17All things bright and beautiful.
38:21All creatures great and small.
38:26All things wise and wonderful.
38:30The Lord proclaim it all.
38:35Lo and behold.
38:37The wind turn.
38:39The wind turn.
38:39It's a biblical turnaround.
38:40The wind turn.
38:40It's a biblical turn around.
38:43How great is God almighty.
38:48Who has made all things well.
38:52All things bright and beautiful.
38:56All creatures great and small.
39:01But all things wise and wonderful
39:05The Lord God made them all
39:11Hey, not a peep. Not a peep.
39:17That went well.
39:18Yes, it was beautifully quiet.
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 while we were singing the hymn was
39:33well, it's a proper hallelujah moment. It's brilliant.
39:37However, there is another problem.
39:40Peter has a very important part of his job
39:42looking after people, talking to people one-to-one
39:45in the rectory.
39:48So the last thing you want is a dog who's barking
39:51or lunging at you and that's exactly what's happening.
39:54Hello, hello. Are you all right?
39:56Lila's loving her neighbours at church.
39:58This is life. This is how it's meant to be.
40:01But will she allow them into her heart at home?
40:06I'm going to suggest that we get her in the room
40:08with the person who comes to visit.
40:10However, I think we get them in first.
40:11Get them sat down.
40:14They're less imposing.
40:17Hi, Glenn.
40:19Hi, Peter. How are you?
40:20Not bad. Come on through.
40:23Hello, Glenn. Grab a seat.
40:26Right. Let's go for it, Peter.
40:27Let's go in.
40:29Again, Reverend Peter must follow Graham's holy order.
40:33Here we go.
40:35And ignore any Aggie attention-seeking.
40:38This way. Nobody there.
40:41There.
40:41Good girl.
40:42Good girl.
40:42Hello, you.
40:43Good girl.
40:44Oh, good girl.
40:45Who's a good girl?
40:46Who's a good girl, Lila?
40:50Well, that is a turn-up for the books.
40:53Good girl.
40:54So she's like, yeah, whatever.
40:56Miss Hello?
40:57She's checking you out.
40:57You're like, good girl.
40:59Yeah.
41:00It's another miracle.
41:02How does this compare to an old boy?
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, Lila's sinful ways...
41:17Can I come in?
41:18You can't just keep your fingers to yourself.
41:20Will do.
41:20...have made visits to the rectory hellish.
41:24You want a treat?
41:26You dare try and give her one?
41:27Lila, that's a good one.
41:29Now she may have opened her heart...
41:31Look at this.
41:32Oh, you are honoured.
41:33Look at that.
41:34...to all God's creatures.
41:36Miracles 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 going to make a real difference.
41:45Amazing.
41:50I'm like, where did this come from?
41:52Was it important to keep the faith with the process?
41:56Yeah, do you know what?
41:57Today of all days, yes, that was true.
42:10In Northampton...
42:11Hi, Graeme.
42:12...Pete is now top dog.
42:14You gave me the confidence to be the alpha and take control of him instead of letting him control me.
42:20And Boris's walking is slowly improving.
42:24Really, really appreciate what you did for us.
42:26Thanks very much.
42:29In London, Rafa made it to the dog show.
42:32Unfortunately, Rafa didn't get placed, but we've now got the skills to ensure that we can keep Rafa and Roger
42:39and, of course, baby Andy.
42:41Immaculate.
42:43In Cheshire...
42:44Hi, Graeme.
42:44The test results came back positive for an infection and we treated that with antibiotics.
42:52Sadly, the behaviour, fiddling with the boy parts, has stayed the same.
42:57So, it's completely behavioural, attention-seeking, naughtiness.
43:02And in Catford...
43:04All quiet at the back at the moment.
43:06...Lila continues to be angelic.
43:09I thought she was asleep.
43:10No, no, she's just been really quiet.
43:14Miraculous.
43:15If you think your badly behaved dog could do with Graeme's help, then why not get in touch?
43:20Details can be found at www.channel5.com forward slash take part.
43:28Ziggy, no!
43:31And Graeme's back next Tuesday at eight.
43:35A global internet outage causes chaos at Casualty 24-7 where every second counts new tomorrow at eight.
43:42Next, a scavenger hunt in the sun takes a shady turn in the streets of Valletta.
43:48It's the new series of The Good Ship Murder.
43:51Back now, it's a mystical chapter on it.
43:57We'll be right back in the third.
43:58And the following series of The Good Ship Murder.
43:58You
