Today, on Who Let The Dogs Out?, | 0:00:40 | 0:00:42 | |
we're going to see leaping dogs, | 0:00:42 | 0:00:44 | |
licking dogs and even | 0:00:44 | 0:00:46 | |
life-saving dogs. | 0:00:46 | 0:00:48 | |
Plus, three dogs will learn something pretty amazing. | 0:00:48 | 0:00:52 | |
Today, we'll be seeing dogs walk on two legs. | 0:00:54 | 0:00:56 | |
When this trick is done right, it looks really impressive. | 0:00:56 | 0:00:59 | |
What we want our dogs to do is go up on their hind legs. | 0:00:59 | 0:01:02 | |
They can walk forwards or backwards, | 0:01:02 | 0:01:05 | |
whatever they're most comfortable with. | 0:01:05 | 0:01:07 | |
Now, this could be tricky. | 0:01:09 | 0:01:11 | |
These dogs have to get up onto their hind legs and walk along a course. | 0:01:11 | 0:01:16 | |
The dog who walks the furthest will win. | 0:01:16 | 0:01:18 | |
Walking on two legs is all about strength, balance and posture, | 0:01:20 | 0:01:24 | |
so I'll need three agile dogs. | 0:01:24 | 0:01:25 | |
I also want to see exceptional communication | 0:01:25 | 0:01:28 | |
between the trainers and the dogs. | 0:01:28 | 0:01:30 | |
And that's exactly what I was looking for at the try-outs. | 0:01:30 | 0:01:34 | |
So, over 400 kids brought their dogs to the try-outs. | 0:01:40 | 0:01:43 | |
Oh, wow! What a happy-looking dog. | 0:01:43 | 0:01:45 | |
And they all hoped that Zak would | 0:01:45 | 0:01:47 | |
take them to the doghouse to learn an incredible stunt. | 0:01:47 | 0:01:51 | |
So he saw stretching dogs, | 0:01:51 | 0:01:53 | |
fetching dogs, | 0:01:53 | 0:01:54 | |
dogs that wanted to please | 0:01:54 | 0:01:57 | |
-and dogs that did some wees. -No! | 0:01:57 | 0:01:59 | |
All these dogs and trainers showed up and did tricks just to see if | 0:01:59 | 0:02:02 | |
Zak would take them to his big fancy doghouse. | 0:02:02 | 0:02:05 | |
And they didn't even know what stunt they'd end up learning. | 0:02:05 | 0:02:08 | |
But the thing is, Zak only needed three teams for every stunt, not 400. | 0:02:08 | 0:02:13 | |
So, in the end, for Zak's two legs challenge, he chose these ones. | 0:02:13 | 0:02:17 | |
My name is Benedict. My dog's name is Mac. | 0:02:17 | 0:02:20 | |
-And I come from London. -Why do you want to come to the doghouse? | 0:02:20 | 0:02:23 | |
I just want to show everyone how great Mac is. | 0:02:23 | 0:02:27 | |
Ben is 11 and his dog Mac is a 2-year-old miniature schnauzer. | 0:02:27 | 0:02:30 | |
This red neckerchief is just one in a line of a very sophisticated | 0:02:30 | 0:02:35 | |
neckwear items that Mac loves wearing. | 0:02:35 | 0:02:37 | |
I just saw you both mutually connect right there. | 0:02:37 | 0:02:40 | |
Come on. Good boy. | 0:02:40 | 0:02:41 | |
Mac also loves attention. | 0:02:41 | 0:02:43 | |
Benedict, that's good. | 0:02:43 | 0:02:45 | |
In fact, so much so that when Mac's feeling attention-starved, | 0:02:45 | 0:02:48 | |
he pretends he needs a wee and he scratches on the door! | 0:02:48 | 0:02:52 | |
Crafty Mac! | 0:02:52 | 0:02:54 | |
That was good. | 0:02:54 | 0:02:56 | |
My name is Rachel. My dog's name is Puzzle. | 0:02:56 | 0:02:59 | |
-I come from Paisley. -Why do you want to come to the doghouse? | 0:02:59 | 0:03:02 | |
I like to come here because I love doing things with Puzzle | 0:03:02 | 0:03:05 | |
and Puzzle loves doing things with me, as well. | 0:03:05 | 0:03:08 | |
-Is Puzzle wearing glasses? -Yeah. -Whoa! -He's got a T-shirt on, too. | 0:03:08 | 0:03:12 | |
Rachel is 12 years old. | 0:03:12 | 0:03:14 | |
Her dog Puzzle is a 3-year-old Tibetan terrier. | 0:03:14 | 0:03:16 | |
Rachel loves horseriding and, | 0:03:16 | 0:03:18 | |
if she could teach Puzzle anything, it would be to ride a pony, | 0:03:18 | 0:03:22 | |
so that they could go riding together. | 0:03:22 | 0:03:24 | |
-Good boy! -That's pretty cool! | 0:03:24 | 0:03:25 | |
He can walk on my back as well. | 0:03:25 | 0:03:27 | |
Rachel has another dog called Quiz. | 0:03:27 | 0:03:29 | |
So that's Puzzle, Quiz... | 0:03:29 | 0:03:31 | |
I think there's a theme developing here. | 0:03:31 | 0:03:34 | |
-Rachel and Puzzle, thank you. -Thank you. | 0:03:35 | 0:03:38 | |
My name is Sam. | 0:03:38 | 0:03:40 | |
My dog's name's Rooney and she is a blue merle collie. | 0:03:40 | 0:03:44 | |
Why do you want to come to the doghouse? | 0:03:44 | 0:03:46 | |
I want to come to the doghouse because Rooney's really clever | 0:03:46 | 0:03:50 | |
and I really want to learn more tricks. | 0:03:50 | 0:03:53 | |
Samantha is 10 years old and her dog Rooney is a 5-year-old border collie. | 0:03:53 | 0:03:57 | |
Samantha and Rooney are a great little team. | 0:03:57 | 0:04:00 | |
I want to just do stuff! | 0:04:00 | 0:04:02 | |
And Rooney tries very hard to please Samantha. | 0:04:02 | 0:04:05 | |
Rooney is such a teacher's pet. | 0:04:05 | 0:04:07 | |
Walk tall, walk, walk. Clever girl! | 0:04:07 | 0:04:10 | |
Samantha's family have got a new puppy. | 0:04:10 | 0:04:12 | |
Any time the puppy does something naughty, | 0:04:12 | 0:04:14 | |
Rooney barks to tell Samantha. | 0:04:14 | 0:04:16 | |
Rooney, you are such a grass! | 0:04:16 | 0:04:18 | |
Rooney, you are an incredible dog. You are free to go. Thank you. | 0:04:18 | 0:04:22 | |
Ben and Mac, Rachel and Puzzle, | 0:04:22 | 0:04:23 | |
and Samantha and Rooney have all made it to the doghouse. | 0:04:23 | 0:04:27 | |
There, they're going to get two days of heavy-duty | 0:04:27 | 0:04:30 | |
amazing dog training from Zak and then three weeks to practise | 0:04:30 | 0:04:34 | |
before going head to head in the two-legged challenge. | 0:04:34 | 0:04:37 | |
The winner will take home the Who Let The Dogs Out? Top Dog trophy. | 0:04:37 | 0:04:41 | |
Training day one, and Ben, Rachel and Samantha are about to | 0:04:50 | 0:04:53 | |
find out what trick they're going to learn. | 0:04:53 | 0:04:55 | |
-Hey, guys. -ALL: Hi. | 0:04:55 | 0:04:57 | |
-How are we doing? -Good. -Fine. -Great! | 0:04:57 | 0:04:59 | |
Today, guys, we're going to teach your dogs how to walk | 0:04:59 | 0:05:02 | |
on their hind legs. | 0:05:02 | 0:05:04 | |
Now, how do you feel about that? | 0:05:04 | 0:05:05 | |
-Excited. -Exciting stuff! | 0:05:05 | 0:05:07 | |
It's a very difficult thing to do. | 0:05:07 | 0:05:10 | |
But it just goes to show us what our dogs are capable of. | 0:05:10 | 0:05:14 | |
Sam, show me what he can do while walking on his hind legs right now. | 0:05:14 | 0:05:17 | |
-Rooney, tall. Walk, walk, walk. -Tall, look at that. Very nice. | 0:05:17 | 0:05:21 | |
Not bad at all, Rooney. This should be a walk in the park for you. | 0:05:21 | 0:05:24 | |
I like that but we have to work on building distance with you. | 0:05:24 | 0:05:27 | |
Why don't you show me with Puzzle, Rachel? | 0:05:27 | 0:05:29 | |
I want to see where you guys are. | 0:05:29 | 0:05:31 | |
-Up, up, up. -Yeah, I'd say that was more like jumping, Puzzle. | 0:05:31 | 0:05:34 | |
But cool ponytail! | 0:05:34 | 0:05:37 | |
Puzzle does it with style there. Very good! | 0:05:37 | 0:05:39 | |
That was good. I liked that. Very nice, very nice! | 0:05:41 | 0:05:43 | |
OK, Mac and Ben over here. | 0:05:43 | 0:05:46 | |
-MAC BARKS -Up, up, up, up. | 0:05:46 | 0:05:49 | |
Oh-ho! Look at that! Nice work. Nice work, Ben. | 0:05:49 | 0:05:51 | |
Mac, that's not walking. That is called spinning. | 0:05:51 | 0:05:54 | |
You have a solid foundation. | 0:05:54 | 0:05:57 | |
What we're talking about doing here is | 0:05:57 | 0:05:59 | |
not easy, and it takes a lot of skill. | 0:05:59 | 0:06:01 | |
Not only on your dog's part, | 0:06:01 | 0:06:02 | |
but on your part when communicating with them. | 0:06:02 | 0:06:05 | |
Secondly, you have to really build up their muscles | 0:06:05 | 0:06:08 | |
so they can do a trick like this. | 0:06:08 | 0:06:10 | |
-Are you guys ready to train? -ALL: Yep. -Let's do it. | 0:06:10 | 0:06:13 | |
Let's see how long we can get them to stand in one place. | 0:06:13 | 0:06:15 | |
In other words, don't encourage them to walk just yet. | 0:06:15 | 0:06:18 | |
-Do have a treat on you? -Yep. | 0:06:18 | 0:06:20 | |
Oh, that's the good stuff! | 0:06:20 | 0:06:22 | |
-What is that, chicken? -Yeah. -Nice! | 0:06:22 | 0:06:24 | |
Let him smell the treat like this. | 0:06:24 | 0:06:27 | |
Then just bring them up a little. | 0:06:27 | 0:06:28 | |
Yes, very good! | 0:06:28 | 0:06:30 | |
Very good. You can click, also, with your clickers. | 0:06:30 | 0:06:32 | |
Hey, you wonder what a clicker is? | 0:06:32 | 0:06:34 | |
Well, listen up. | 0:06:34 | 0:06:35 | |
Dog trainers use a clicker to tell their dog he's done something right. | 0:06:35 | 0:06:39 | |
They click, give a treat | 0:06:39 | 0:06:40 | |
and the dog soon learns that a click means that a treat is on its way. | 0:06:40 | 0:06:44 | |
Puzzle loves those treats. But back to the training. | 0:06:46 | 0:06:48 | |
Good boy, good boy. | 0:06:48 | 0:06:50 | |
Hey, Mac's still spinning! | 0:06:50 | 0:06:52 | |
The spinning is all bonus. | 0:06:52 | 0:06:54 | |
It's all very nice but try and keep him still right now. | 0:06:54 | 0:06:57 | |
-Up, up, up. -You know what? | 0:06:57 | 0:06:59 | |
You can get down on the ground. | 0:06:59 | 0:07:01 | |
You've got a little dog. | 0:07:01 | 0:07:03 | |
This is where the magic happens! | 0:07:03 | 0:07:04 | |
All this standing really helps the dogs to build up | 0:07:04 | 0:07:07 | |
their back leg muscles so they become strong enough to walk on them. | 0:07:07 | 0:07:10 | |
Can I practise for second? | 0:07:10 | 0:07:12 | |
Do you see this movement right here? | 0:07:12 | 0:07:14 | |
This can be very beneficial, so I've got my hand back, like this. | 0:07:14 | 0:07:18 | |
It gives them a little area to balance in. And it's easy to pull | 0:07:18 | 0:07:21 | |
your hand back in order to get them to go on their own. | 0:07:21 | 0:07:24 | |
Yes. Good. Good, good, good. I'll take that. | 0:07:24 | 0:07:27 | |
-He's very impatient, isn't he? -Yeah. | 0:07:27 | 0:07:29 | |
But he's doing very well. | 0:07:29 | 0:07:31 | |
Let's see how Rachel and Puzzle are getting on. | 0:07:31 | 0:07:33 | |
Whoops! Puzzle, you are hanging onto Rachel's arm there. | 0:07:33 | 0:07:37 | |
Try and be a little more involved because you're doing well | 0:07:37 | 0:07:41 | |
but I want you to just connect eye to eye. | 0:07:41 | 0:07:44 | |
-Does that make sense? -Yeah. | 0:07:44 | 0:07:46 | |
-Work on that for a few seconds. -Up. | 0:07:46 | 0:07:48 | |
Oh, look! Rooney is certainly getting the hang of this. | 0:07:49 | 0:07:53 | |
Good girl. | 0:07:53 | 0:07:54 | |
I'll take that. Beautiful! | 0:07:54 | 0:07:55 | |
I want you to just take a little bit of a break, OK? | 0:07:55 | 0:07:58 | |
Have your dog get some water. | 0:07:58 | 0:08:01 | |
Most dogs love a challenge and it's important to encourage them | 0:08:07 | 0:08:11 | |
to show off their skills. | 0:08:11 | 0:08:12 | |
Here are some really athletic dogs performing amazing feats of agility. | 0:08:12 | 0:08:16 | |
Yes! It's time for Olympic dogs. | 0:08:18 | 0:08:20 | |
This one's doing the high jump. | 0:08:21 | 0:08:24 | |
This one's doing the low jump. | 0:08:24 | 0:08:26 | |
And this one just can't be bothered. | 0:08:29 | 0:08:31 | |
So, just hop on a skateboard if you really can't be bothered | 0:08:31 | 0:08:35 | |
and, there you are, going nowhere, in style! | 0:08:35 | 0:08:37 | |
I'm not saying he's cheating but | 0:08:39 | 0:08:41 | |
isn't that hoop a bit extremely low? | 0:08:41 | 0:08:43 | |
There are two types of dogs... | 0:08:46 | 0:08:48 | |
Ball dogs. | 0:08:49 | 0:08:50 | |
Nice header! | 0:08:51 | 0:08:53 | |
Top dribbling skills! | 0:08:54 | 0:08:56 | |
And Frisbee dogs. | 0:08:56 | 0:08:58 | |
Oh, well held! | 0:08:59 | 0:09:00 | |
If only we could combine the two. | 0:09:02 | 0:09:04 | |
Well, who'd have thought it? | 0:09:04 | 0:09:06 | |
It's a Frisbee ball dog. | 0:09:06 | 0:09:07 | |
With a bit of dribbling thrown in. | 0:09:07 | 0:09:09 | |
But for sheer artistic merit, | 0:09:11 | 0:09:13 | |
it's hard to beat water Frisbee. | 0:09:13 | 0:09:15 | |
Beautiful dive there. | 0:09:15 | 0:09:17 | |
And, talking of water, behold! | 0:09:19 | 0:09:20 | |
Our action hero water dogs. | 0:09:20 | 0:09:22 | |
This one is the doggy 100cm swimming champion! | 0:09:23 | 0:09:27 | |
And check out this whitewater-rafting dog. | 0:09:29 | 0:09:32 | |
Look at him at the front of the boat. | 0:09:32 | 0:09:34 | |
He also surfs, with a human on the back of his doggy board. | 0:09:37 | 0:09:40 | |
Hey, hey! Want to see a dog flying through the air? | 0:09:41 | 0:09:46 | |
Look at that! Pretty impressive, eh? | 0:09:48 | 0:09:50 | |
Now can you see where you buried the bone? | 0:09:56 | 0:09:59 | |
No? Still not? | 0:09:59 | 0:10:00 | |
Keep watching because, coming up, we have life-saving dogs, | 0:10:05 | 0:10:09 | |
Zak's quick trick and we'll find out who wins the shiny | 0:10:09 | 0:10:13 | |
Who Let The Dogs Out? Top Dog trophy. | 0:10:13 | 0:10:16 | |
Back at the doghouse, Ben, Rachel and Sam are training hard. | 0:10:20 | 0:10:24 | |
Oh, very nice. All of you are doing good. | 0:10:24 | 0:10:26 | |
That was really good, too, with Puzzle. I just saw that. | 0:10:26 | 0:10:29 | |
That's quite an improvement in just | 0:10:29 | 0:10:31 | |
the little while we've been out here already. | 0:10:31 | 0:10:34 | |
Now let's encourage them to walk along. Does that make sense? | 0:10:34 | 0:10:37 | |
-ALL: Yeah. -Let's get into it! | 0:10:37 | 0:10:39 | |
Walking already? Hey, this should be good. | 0:10:39 | 0:10:41 | |
Yes, exactly like that, Rachel and Puzzle. Beautiful work! | 0:10:41 | 0:10:45 | |
That's where you want to be. Where's the reward? Get the clicker out. | 0:10:45 | 0:10:48 | |
Ben is doing exactly what Zak has told him, | 0:10:48 | 0:10:51 | |
getting down at eye level and communicating with Mac. | 0:10:51 | 0:10:54 | |
I really like what you're doing, Ben. Go ahead and reward for that. | 0:10:54 | 0:10:58 | |
Walk, walk, walk. | 0:10:58 | 0:10:59 | |
Rooney knows what she's doing. | 0:10:59 | 0:11:01 | |
Wonderful work. | 0:11:01 | 0:11:02 | |
Rooney, Sam, awesome job! | 0:11:02 | 0:11:05 | |
Look at this. Very good. Rachel and Puzzle doing a great job. Good. | 0:11:07 | 0:11:11 | |
And don't rush them, you know. Reward small victories, too. | 0:11:11 | 0:11:14 | |
That's very important. | 0:11:14 | 0:11:16 | |
Mac's stopped his spinning but, now, instead of walking, he's jumping! | 0:11:16 | 0:11:21 | |
-Walk, walk, walk. -Oh, wow! | 0:11:21 | 0:11:22 | |
Oh, nice steps, Rooney and Puzzle. | 0:11:22 | 0:11:24 | |
You don't have to stay over here. Come on over here. | 0:11:24 | 0:11:27 | |
Let's gather round. | 0:11:27 | 0:11:28 | |
I must say, today, you guys have done exceptionally well. | 0:11:28 | 0:11:31 | |
We just have to build on that. | 0:11:31 | 0:11:33 | |
-Do you feel like you're doing really well so far here? -ALL: Yeah. -Good | 0:11:33 | 0:11:36 | |
Tomorrow, we're going to work on building distance with our dogs | 0:11:36 | 0:11:40 | |
but, for now, you guys have a lot of practice to do. | 0:11:40 | 0:11:42 | |
I want you to focus on really building up their muscles, | 0:11:42 | 0:11:46 | |
keeping it loving and positive, with lots of breaks. | 0:11:46 | 0:11:49 | |
Rooney, Mac and Puzzle are completely different types of dogs. | 0:11:49 | 0:11:53 | |
I just can't decide who's got the edge in this one. | 0:11:53 | 0:11:55 | |
Let's take a look at their mutt measurements. | 0:11:55 | 0:11:58 | |
This is Rooney, the blue merle border collie. | 0:12:01 | 0:12:04 | |
They're called this because their coats look blue. Simple. | 0:12:04 | 0:12:07 | |
Rooney is a supergrass. | 0:12:07 | 0:12:09 | |
She barks out loud when the family's new puppy does something naughty. | 0:12:09 | 0:12:12 | |
Collies are clever but, if their trainer is nervous, | 0:12:12 | 0:12:15 | |
it affects how well they learn a trick. | 0:12:15 | 0:12:17 | |
Will Rooney hold her nerve? | 0:12:17 | 0:12:19 | |
Mac, the miniature schnauzer. | 0:12:20 | 0:12:22 | |
Schnauzers come from Germany, where they used to do farm jobs, | 0:12:22 | 0:12:26 | |
like hunting rats. | 0:12:26 | 0:12:27 | |
Wow! I bet Mac's happy he doesn't have to do that any more. | 0:12:27 | 0:12:30 | |
Mac is a very fashion-conscious dog. | 0:12:30 | 0:12:32 | |
He likes wearing a neckerchief. | 0:12:32 | 0:12:33 | |
Schnauzers are strong but they're not very tall. | 0:12:33 | 0:12:36 | |
The question is, will Mac be able to balance on such small legs? | 0:12:36 | 0:12:40 | |
Puzzle is a Tibetan terrier. | 0:12:42 | 0:12:43 | |
They come all the way from China. | 0:12:43 | 0:12:46 | |
Puzzle attracts loads of attention wherever he goes | 0:12:47 | 0:12:50 | |
because of his cool, curly coat. | 0:12:50 | 0:12:52 | |
His favourite person in the world is Rachel and he loves eating treats. | 0:12:52 | 0:12:56 | |
Tibetan Terriers have very strong back legs so surely Puzzle | 0:12:56 | 0:13:00 | |
will have no problems at all on two legs when it comes to showtime. | 0:13:00 | 0:13:04 | |
It's training day two. | 0:13:08 | 0:13:11 | |
And Ben and Mac, Rachel and Puzzle, | 0:13:11 | 0:13:13 | |
and Sam and Rooney are making great progress. | 0:13:13 | 0:13:15 | |
Very good. Very good. OK, guys, come on over here. | 0:13:15 | 0:13:18 | |
Let's talk about how training's going. | 0:13:18 | 0:13:22 | |
What's been the most challenging thing for you on this trick so far? | 0:13:22 | 0:13:26 | |
I think getting her to stop holding onto my arm. | 0:13:26 | 0:13:29 | |
And is she still doing that to some degree? | 0:13:29 | 0:13:31 | |
Well, a little bit. | 0:13:31 | 0:13:32 | |
Well, how did you get her to stop? | 0:13:34 | 0:13:35 | |
I just lifted my hand up further and I walked faster backwards. | 0:13:35 | 0:13:39 | |
All right, let's see you, Rachel and Puzzle. | 0:13:39 | 0:13:41 | |
Tell me how things have been going. | 0:13:41 | 0:13:43 | |
What has been difficult for you? | 0:13:43 | 0:13:44 | |
Him holding onto my arm. | 0:13:44 | 0:13:46 | |
Ohhh! Look at this! | 0:13:46 | 0:13:49 | |
You got scratched up and you're like, "Whatever." | 0:13:49 | 0:13:53 | |
Puzzle is so desperate for that treat that he's scratching Rachel. | 0:13:53 | 0:13:58 | |
But that's getting better now cos I've put my hand a bit higher | 0:13:58 | 0:14:01 | |
and he's been walking more now. | 0:14:01 | 0:14:02 | |
So he's not been holding on as much. | 0:14:02 | 0:14:04 | |
Good boy. | 0:14:04 | 0:14:06 | |
Now THAT is friendship for you. | 0:14:06 | 0:14:08 | |
All right, Mac! What's going on? | 0:14:09 | 0:14:11 | |
-Hey, Ben. -Hi. -How are you? | 0:14:11 | 0:14:13 | |
Fine, thanks, yeah. | 0:14:13 | 0:14:14 | |
So you've had a lot of improvement or not? | 0:14:14 | 0:14:16 | |
Well, before he was occasionally going into a spin but, | 0:14:16 | 0:14:21 | |
with a different hand movement, when he's walking, | 0:14:21 | 0:14:25 | |
I've managed to cut that out. | 0:14:25 | 0:14:27 | |
You had to communicate to him | 0:14:27 | 0:14:29 | |
-doing something new is what you were looking for. -Yeah. | 0:14:29 | 0:14:32 | |
Sometimes that can be harder than teaching a trick from scratch, | 0:14:32 | 0:14:35 | |
so that is really, really good. | 0:14:35 | 0:14:37 | |
All right! Good job! | 0:14:37 | 0:14:40 | |
All right, take a break here for a second. | 0:14:41 | 0:14:45 | |
All the teams are doing well so far. | 0:14:45 | 0:14:46 | |
I wonder what Zak has in store for them next. | 0:14:46 | 0:14:48 | |
What I'm going for now is, I want you to have your dogs walk on their | 0:14:48 | 0:14:52 | |
hind legs from maybe this far away. | 0:14:52 | 0:14:54 | |
Or a bit further than you're currently doing, whatever that is. | 0:14:54 | 0:14:58 | |
-Is that clear? -ALL: Yep. | 0:14:58 | 0:15:00 | |
Let's work on it and I'm going to kind of observe. | 0:15:00 | 0:15:02 | |
So the dogs need to walk on their hind legs | 0:15:02 | 0:15:05 | |
without leaning on their trainer. | 0:15:05 | 0:15:07 | |
That is good enough to participate in the competition. | 0:15:07 | 0:15:09 | |
But you've got to really work on distance. | 0:15:09 | 0:15:12 | |
Do a solid sit-stay, just like Rachel and Puzzle are doing. | 0:15:12 | 0:15:15 | |
Do you guys see what they're doing? | 0:15:15 | 0:15:17 | |
Sit, stay and then walk back a step and have them do it. | 0:15:17 | 0:15:21 | |
Rachel's patience is really paying off. Check out Puzzle. | 0:15:21 | 0:15:26 | |
He's not hanging onto Rachel's arm any more. | 0:15:26 | 0:15:28 | |
Sit. Stay. | 0:15:28 | 0:15:29 | |
Sam is trying to work on keeping a distance between her and Rooney | 0:15:29 | 0:15:33 | |
but Rooney is having none of it. | 0:15:33 | 0:15:35 | |
She just wants to keep close to Sam! | 0:15:35 | 0:15:38 | |
What are you using here to reward Rooney with? | 0:15:38 | 0:15:41 | |
I use the toy to reward and I use the treat to make her walk. | 0:15:41 | 0:15:44 | |
-Well, that's different than yesterday, right? -Yeah. | 0:15:44 | 0:15:46 | |
So explain to me why you've changed your strategy there. | 0:15:46 | 0:15:49 | |
Because she likes the toy and it works better. | 0:15:49 | 0:15:52 | |
So you're using the food more and then you're using the toy | 0:15:52 | 0:15:55 | |
as like a jackpot reward, basically. | 0:15:55 | 0:15:57 | |
Yeah, yeah. | 0:15:57 | 0:15:58 | |
-Because this is what she loves more than anything. -Yeah, yeah. | 0:15:58 | 0:16:02 | |
Stay. Stay. | 0:16:02 | 0:16:04 | |
-Up, up, up. Ohhh. -Oh, that's OK. | 0:16:04 | 0:16:06 | |
Did you hear that sigh you did just there? Let's talk about that. | 0:16:06 | 0:16:10 | |
That sigh is so natural and so normal to do and I've done it | 0:16:10 | 0:16:14 | |
so much when I've gotten frustrated in dog training in the past. | 0:16:14 | 0:16:18 | |
Shush. | 0:16:18 | 0:16:19 | |
But do you know what that sigh means? | 0:16:19 | 0:16:21 | |
Because our dogs hear that. It says, "I'm discouraged right now." | 0:16:21 | 0:16:25 | |
And our dogs know from past experience that training just | 0:16:25 | 0:16:29 | |
isn't as fun any more. | 0:16:29 | 0:16:30 | |
So we have to reach deep to not get discouraged. | 0:16:30 | 0:16:33 | |
And if we find ourselves getting discouraged, just take a break. | 0:16:33 | 0:16:37 | |
It's no big deal. | 0:16:37 | 0:16:38 | |
-Up, up, up. Up, up, up. -That's more like it, Ben! | 0:16:38 | 0:16:41 | |
And look at the difference in Mac. | 0:16:41 | 0:16:42 | |
This change of strategy could really help them. Especially at showtime. | 0:16:42 | 0:16:46 | |
Believe it or not, you know everything | 0:16:46 | 0:16:48 | |
you need to know to get this trick done. | 0:16:48 | 0:16:51 | |
Remember, the dog that travels the furthest distance will win. | 0:16:51 | 0:16:55 | |
It's a matter of working on it every day. | 0:16:55 | 0:16:57 | |
But make sure you give your dog a day off every once in a while, too. | 0:16:57 | 0:17:01 | |
All right, y'all, you've got three weeks to go home and | 0:17:01 | 0:17:04 | |
we'll see you back here at the doghouse for showtime! | 0:17:04 | 0:17:06 | |
Start practising. | 0:17:06 | 0:17:08 | |
I just hope they don't put off training until the last week. | 0:17:11 | 0:17:15 | |
If we're going to see a big improvement, | 0:17:15 | 0:17:17 | |
they've got to put in a huge amount of work. | 0:17:17 | 0:17:19 | |
So, here are Zak's five steps to walking on two legs. | 0:17:19 | 0:17:23 | |
One, encourage your dog to stand up on two legs. | 0:17:23 | 0:17:27 | |
Two, build towards having your dog stay up there for a few seconds. | 0:17:27 | 0:17:32 | |
Three, using a reward, urge your dog to take a few steps towards you. | 0:17:32 | 0:17:37 | |
Four, over time, increase the distance | 0:17:37 | 0:17:40 | |
your dog can walk on two legs. | 0:17:40 | 0:17:42 | |
Five, this trick requires muscle strength, | 0:17:42 | 0:17:44 | |
so train your dog regularly with lots of breaks. | 0:17:44 | 0:17:47 | |
You don't need to come to the doghouse to teach | 0:17:51 | 0:17:53 | |
your dog a cool trick. | 0:17:53 | 0:17:55 | |
Today, we're going to show you how to teach your dog to play dead. | 0:17:55 | 0:17:58 | |
Come here, Nelly. Very good! | 0:17:58 | 0:18:01 | |
Look what I've got! | 0:18:01 | 0:18:02 | |
I know! Turkey. | 0:18:02 | 0:18:04 | |
Play dead is a really fun trick. | 0:18:04 | 0:18:06 | |
First, make sure that your dog knows how to lie down. | 0:18:06 | 0:18:09 | |
Nelly, lie down. Perfect. | 0:18:09 | 0:18:10 | |
Once they've got that, it's a good idea to kind of encourage them | 0:18:10 | 0:18:13 | |
to go on their side by luring them with something really good. | 0:18:13 | 0:18:17 | |
I'm using real meat. That is perfect. | 0:18:17 | 0:18:19 | |
And I'm going to reward her to let her know I love it. | 0:18:19 | 0:18:22 | |
Now, once she gets in the final position, | 0:18:22 | 0:18:25 | |
I'm going to put the command with the actual trick. | 0:18:25 | 0:18:27 | |
In this case, I'll use play dead. | 0:18:27 | 0:18:29 | |
Play dead. Yes! | 0:18:29 | 0:18:31 | |
Initially, I just went for one second of her keeping still | 0:18:31 | 0:18:34 | |
on the ground to let her know I like that. | 0:18:34 | 0:18:36 | |
Very good. Come on, back up. | 0:18:36 | 0:18:38 | |
Yes, good. Here we go. Lie down. | 0:18:38 | 0:18:42 | |
Stay. | 0:18:42 | 0:18:43 | |
Play dead. Yes! I went for about two or three seconds that time. | 0:18:44 | 0:18:48 | |
Good. Come on, back up. | 0:18:48 | 0:18:49 | |
Let's try it one more time. | 0:18:49 | 0:18:50 | |
Phasing out the lure so it's less obvious and it looks a lot cooler | 0:18:54 | 0:18:57 | |
when you can communicate with your dog with more distance. | 0:18:57 | 0:19:01 | |
Play dead. Yes! | 0:19:01 | 0:19:02 | |
Now let's try and do it with a little bit of distance | 0:19:02 | 0:19:05 | |
and see how impressive it looks. | 0:19:05 | 0:19:06 | |
Nelly, come on, get up. | 0:19:06 | 0:19:08 | |
Good. Stay. | 0:19:08 | 0:19:09 | |
Lie down. | 0:19:09 | 0:19:10 | |
Play dead. | 0:19:10 | 0:19:12 | |
And that's how you do it. Good girl. | 0:19:13 | 0:19:15 | |
Throughout history, there have been many tales of dogs | 0:19:18 | 0:19:21 | |
who put their own lives at risk to save others. | 0:19:21 | 0:19:23 | |
And they're still at it. | 0:19:23 | 0:19:25 | |
Here's some of my favourite life-saving dogs. | 0:19:25 | 0:19:28 | |
Leaping from speeding boats, helping swimmers who get into trouble, | 0:19:31 | 0:19:36 | |
it's the incredible doggy-paddling lifeguards. | 0:19:36 | 0:19:39 | |
In Italy, hundreds of specially-trained dogs are saving | 0:19:39 | 0:19:42 | |
the lives of struggling swimmers. | 0:19:42 | 0:19:44 | |
Just like a human lifeguard these fearless dogs scramble to | 0:19:44 | 0:19:47 | |
the rescue, wearing their distinctive red lifejackets. | 0:19:47 | 0:19:51 | |
These brave lifeguard dogs intuitively know how to swim | 0:19:51 | 0:19:55 | |
through the safest currents to find the best landing areas. | 0:19:55 | 0:19:58 | |
And they are perfectly capable of taking life buoys to swimmers | 0:19:58 | 0:20:02 | |
and towing them back to safety, all on their own. | 0:20:02 | 0:20:05 | |
But the most amazing thing about these doggy lifeguards | 0:20:05 | 0:20:08 | |
is that they instinctively know when a person needs help, | 0:20:08 | 0:20:11 | |
long before their human colleagues do. | 0:20:11 | 0:20:14 | |
These dogs are truly incredible. | 0:20:14 | 0:20:16 | |
This is Leo. | 0:20:21 | 0:20:22 | |
When a fire broke out in this house in Australia, | 0:20:22 | 0:20:25 | |
this plucky little fellow refused to leave with the rest of the family. | 0:20:25 | 0:20:29 | |
Leo chose to stay behind in the fire to guard four little kittens | 0:20:29 | 0:20:33 | |
that were stuck in a cardboard box in one of the bedrooms. | 0:20:33 | 0:20:37 | |
By the time the firefighters found Leo guarding the kittens, | 0:20:38 | 0:20:41 | |
he had succumbed to the smoke and heat and was unconscious. | 0:20:41 | 0:20:44 | |
They rushed him to safety | 0:20:44 | 0:20:46 | |
and revived the unconscious little dog with a heart massage and oxygen. | 0:20:46 | 0:20:49 | |
When he came round, Leo was delighted to see the tiny kittens again. | 0:20:49 | 0:20:54 | |
What a hero! | 0:20:54 | 0:20:56 | |
Today, it's showtime. | 0:21:01 | 0:21:04 | |
Three weeks of training ends now. | 0:21:04 | 0:21:06 | |
This is the biggest challenge | 0:21:06 | 0:21:09 | |
Mac, Rooney and Puzzle have ever faced. | 0:21:09 | 0:21:13 | |
There can only be one winner. | 0:21:14 | 0:21:16 | |
When we first saw Mac, he wasn't walking, so much as | 0:21:22 | 0:21:24 | |
just spinning around like a ballet dancer. | 0:21:24 | 0:21:27 | |
But Ben changed his tactics and Mac has made some good progress at home. | 0:21:27 | 0:21:30 | |
It's been going well and Mac's made some good improvements. | 0:21:30 | 0:21:33 | |
I've changed the voice command | 0:21:33 | 0:21:35 | |
and a couple of other body language things, which actually helped. | 0:21:35 | 0:21:38 | |
Well, I think me and Mac have got a good chance. | 0:21:38 | 0:21:41 | |
Although Puzzle has naturally strong legs, | 0:21:41 | 0:21:44 | |
she's been leaning on Rachel's arm. | 0:21:44 | 0:21:46 | |
Will she be able to walk unassisted at showtime? | 0:21:46 | 0:21:48 | |
I've stopped him doing that so he's been really good. | 0:21:48 | 0:21:52 | |
We've been practising every second and third day so he can get a rest. | 0:21:52 | 0:21:56 | |
At first, Rooney was doing really well and, at home, | 0:21:57 | 0:21:59 | |
Sam's been using a stick to get some distance between her and Rooney. | 0:21:59 | 0:22:03 | |
But it's not gone as planned | 0:22:03 | 0:22:05 | |
because Rooney's now not concentrating on the trick. | 0:22:05 | 0:22:08 | |
She can get tired quite quickly and I was getting really frustrated. | 0:22:11 | 0:22:14 | |
But if she did it right I'd give her lots and lots of praise | 0:22:14 | 0:22:17 | |
and she'd be really happy. | 0:22:17 | 0:22:20 | |
Today is the big day. It's showtime! | 0:22:20 | 0:22:24 | |
Who has learned to walk on two legs? | 0:22:28 | 0:22:30 | |
Who will go the furthest? | 0:22:31 | 0:22:33 | |
And who will walk away with the Who Let The Dogs Out? Top Dog trophy? | 0:22:35 | 0:22:39 | |
It's showtime for Mac, Rooney and Puzzle, | 0:22:43 | 0:22:46 | |
and I can't wait to see how they do. | 0:22:46 | 0:22:48 | |
Right here is where they'll be walking on two legs. | 0:22:48 | 0:22:51 | |
And right there is the camera that will determine | 0:22:51 | 0:22:53 | |
just how far they travel. | 0:22:53 | 0:22:55 | |
Each dog will be awarded one point for every metre they travel. | 0:22:55 | 0:22:59 | |
They'll have three chances at this | 0:22:59 | 0:23:01 | |
but only their best attempt will count. | 0:23:01 | 0:23:04 | |
First up for showtime are Ben and Mac. | 0:23:04 | 0:23:06 | |
Whenever you're ready to start, go ahead. | 0:23:06 | 0:23:09 | |
Hang on, where's Mac's lucky neckerchief? | 0:23:09 | 0:23:11 | |
Oh, there it is. Phew! | 0:23:11 | 0:23:13 | |
-Come here. -Mac's first attempt. | 0:23:13 | 0:23:15 | |
Remember, the further he walks on two legs, the better. Off he goes. | 0:23:15 | 0:23:19 | |
Confident start. | 0:23:19 | 0:23:21 | |
Hm, looks like he's doing more jumping than walking. And he's down! | 0:23:23 | 0:23:27 | |
How far was that? | 0:23:27 | 0:23:29 | |
Let's have another look. | 0:23:30 | 0:23:32 | |
Off he goes. | 0:23:32 | 0:23:34 | |
1.75 metres. Not bad. | 0:23:34 | 0:23:36 | |
Mac has another two goes left and he starts where his last go ended. | 0:23:36 | 0:23:40 | |
He'll have three attempts but it's only his best that counts. | 0:23:40 | 0:23:43 | |
So, can he walk further than 1.75 metres? | 0:23:43 | 0:23:46 | |
Check out Ben's energy. | 0:23:46 | 0:23:48 | |
That's excellent training. | 0:23:48 | 0:23:50 | |
Another good walk, but was it as far as his first? | 0:23:50 | 0:23:54 | |
1.75 metres again. | 0:23:54 | 0:23:55 | |
This is Mac's last attempt. | 0:23:55 | 0:23:57 | |
Is he going to walk any further? | 0:23:57 | 0:23:59 | |
Is his lucky neckerchief going to help him do it? | 0:23:59 | 0:24:01 | |
No spinning, just good walking on two legs. | 0:24:04 | 0:24:08 | |
1.75 metres again! | 0:24:08 | 0:24:10 | |
Rachel and Puzzle, you're up. You can go on your own time. | 0:24:10 | 0:24:13 | |
Now Puzzle needs to walk more than 1.75 metres to beat Mac. | 0:24:13 | 0:24:16 | |
The distance is measured from their hind legs at the point they | 0:24:16 | 0:24:20 | |
start walking, to the point at which their hind legs are when they stop. | 0:24:20 | 0:24:24 | |
Oh, nice lift, Puzzle. But did he get the distance? | 0:24:24 | 0:24:28 | |
Ohhh! 0.75 metres. | 0:24:28 | 0:24:29 | |
Not good enough to beat Ben and Mac so far | 0:24:29 | 0:24:31 | |
but he has got another two attempts left. | 0:24:31 | 0:24:34 | |
He'll need to walk further than that for a chance | 0:24:34 | 0:24:38 | |
to win the Top Dog trophy. | 0:24:38 | 0:24:40 | |
Oh, no! Not quite a metre. | 0:24:40 | 0:24:43 | |
Has the pressure of showtime got to Puzzle? | 0:24:43 | 0:24:45 | |
This is Puzzle's last try. | 0:24:45 | 0:24:47 | |
Go, Puzzle! | 0:24:47 | 0:24:50 | |
Puzzle has a strong stand. | 0:24:54 | 0:24:56 | |
Just look at those legs. | 0:24:56 | 0:24:57 | |
But he's not quite walking the distance today. | 0:24:57 | 0:25:00 | |
That was just 0.75 metres. | 0:25:00 | 0:25:02 | |
Sam and Rooney, it's your turn. Good luck. | 0:25:04 | 0:25:06 | |
Can Rooney concentrate | 0:25:06 | 0:25:08 | |
and listen to Samantha's instructions? | 0:25:08 | 0:25:10 | |
The distance to beat is Mac's 1.75 metres. Can she do it? | 0:25:10 | 0:25:13 | |
Oh, look at Rooney go! | 0:25:16 | 0:25:18 | |
She's amazing! | 0:25:18 | 0:25:19 | |
Walk, walk, walk. | 0:25:19 | 0:25:22 | |
Let's see that again. | 0:25:24 | 0:25:25 | |
That was fantastic. | 0:25:25 | 0:25:26 | |
But how far did she go? | 0:25:26 | 0:25:28 | |
Ah! 3.9 metres! | 0:25:31 | 0:25:33 | |
That beats Mac and Puzzle. | 0:25:33 | 0:25:35 | |
Can Rooney beat her own score in the next two attempts? | 0:25:35 | 0:25:38 | |
Tall. Walk, walk, walk, walk. | 0:25:38 | 0:25:42 | |
That's it. Walk, walk, walk, Rooney. | 0:25:46 | 0:25:49 | |
Wow! This is unbelievable. Look at her go! | 0:25:49 | 0:25:52 | |
Rooney is walking right off the course. Even Zak is speechless! | 0:25:52 | 0:25:55 | |
We had to use another special camera to capture Rooney's massive walk | 0:25:59 | 0:26:03 | |
because she walked so far off the course. | 0:26:03 | 0:26:07 | |
This is far! This is really far! | 0:26:07 | 0:26:09 | |
Eight metres. | 0:26:09 | 0:26:11 | |
That is beyond! | 0:26:11 | 0:26:14 | |
Surely Rooney can't beat eight metres in her last try, can she? | 0:26:14 | 0:26:18 | |
Check her out. | 0:26:18 | 0:26:20 | |
She looks more like a kangaroo than a dog. | 0:26:26 | 0:26:30 | |
How far was that? | 0:26:30 | 0:26:31 | |
Let's have another look at a bouncing kangaroo Rooney. | 0:26:31 | 0:26:34 | |
Look at her go! This is impressive. | 0:26:34 | 0:26:36 | |
Six metres. Goo-ood! | 0:26:39 | 0:26:40 | |
All of you did an incredible job today. Did you enjoy the experience? | 0:26:44 | 0:26:48 | |
-ALL: Yes. -I was really impressed with all of your progress. | 0:26:48 | 0:26:51 | |
Ben and Mac, I love your energy. Fantastic! | 0:26:51 | 0:26:54 | |
It looks like you've done a great job, | 0:26:54 | 0:26:58 | |
really building that energy with Mac. Wonderful. | 0:26:58 | 0:27:00 | |
Rachel and Puzzle, really enjoyed watching you all work together | 0:27:00 | 0:27:04 | |
and I feel like you've grown a bit closer through this whole process. | 0:27:04 | 0:27:07 | |
-Am I right? -Yeah. | 0:27:07 | 0:27:09 | |
Sam and Rooney. | 0:27:09 | 0:27:11 | |
ROONEY BARKS | 0:27:11 | 0:27:12 | |
ZAK LAUGHS | 0:27:12 | 0:27:14 | |
Rooney walked an astonishing eight metres. | 0:27:14 | 0:27:17 | |
He gets eight points and is therefore our | 0:27:17 | 0:27:19 | |
Who Let The Dogs Out? Top Dog for the day, winning the trophy. | 0:27:19 | 0:27:24 | |
Wonderful work! | 0:27:24 | 0:27:26 | |
Congratulations. How do you feel? | 0:27:26 | 0:27:28 | |
I'm glad. I'm happy. | 0:27:28 | 0:27:29 | |
You did very, very good. Yes. I mean, all of you should be happy. | 0:27:29 | 0:27:32 | |
Eight metres! | 0:27:32 | 0:27:34 | |
That is incredible. Eight metres is a long, long distance there. | 0:27:34 | 0:27:37 | |
Well, that's all from the doghouse. | 0:27:37 | 0:27:39 | |
We'll see you next time on Who Let The Dogs Out? | 0:27:39 | 0:27:42 | |
Give your dogs some love! | 0:27:42 | 0:27:44 | |
I'm very proud of Mac because he stuck to all the things | 0:27:46 | 0:27:49 | |
we learned in training. | 0:27:49 | 0:27:50 | |
So I think we did well. | 0:27:50 | 0:27:52 | |
I feel really good for Sam and Rooney because Sam's my friend | 0:27:52 | 0:27:55 | |
and Rooney done really well for getting eight metres. | 0:27:55 | 0:27:58 | |
That's the longest distance Rooney's ever done. | 0:27:58 | 0:28:00 | |
I feel so happy to be Top Dog. | 0:28:00 | 0:28:02 | |
I think Rooney's feeling happy, as well. | 0:28:02 | 0:28:04 | |
