I hate to tell you this, guys, but this is the last episode

of this series of Who Let The Dogs Out?

We've seen some truly talented trainers, some incredible dogs,

and we've had some pretty memorable moments right here, at the Doghouse.

In this show we're going to have a look at the series' best bits.

We've seen all breeds of dogs, plenty of amazing tricks

and some of the best trainers and dogs ever!

It looks empty now but this is where Freya, Agnes and

Oliver work so hard to teach their dogs to skateboard.

Introducing Freya and her Jack Russell, Jack.

Woah, nice handstand, Jack!

Agnes and her French Bulldog, Dolly,

and Oliver and his Manchester Terrier Cross, Weasel.

What would you place the odds at Weasel learning to skateboard?

-One in a million.

-You're not very optimistic, here.

In this challenge, the dogs had to get on a skateboard and stay on it.

Bonus points for using their paws to push. Whoever moved the furthest

would win the Top Dog Trophy.

Jack had skateboarded before and had no trouble.

-How are you doing?

-Really well. He puts his back leg out.

I rewarded that with lots of treats.

Dolly got a bit fed up and Agnes needed some advice from Zak.

Give her mega-praise and you'll see your training take off when you do.

Although Weasel hadn't skateboarded before,

he surprised Oliver with this.

Let her know, let her know, yeah! Good work.

The teams had three weeks at home to improve their skateboarding.

It is amazing the difference practice makes.

We knew it was going to be a good Showtime, but nobody expected this.

First up was Agnes and Dolly.

She used her paw to push, gaining five bonus points,

and managed to skateboard a full eight metres.

-Next up is Oliver and Weasel.

-Push.

Weasel did a magnificent job,

gaining bonus points for pushing, and travelling 28 metres.

Yes, I said 28 metres! A-maz-ing!

OK.

We thought no-one could come close to that until

Freya and Jack had their go. Look at him! Such confidence.

Speedy Jack pushed with his paw, gaining bonus points,

but he nearly tipped over. Oh, nice recovery!

Jack managed to travel 28 metres, the same as Weasel.

It was a tie, which meant we needed a second try from Weasel and Jack.

How exciting! Oliver thought he had a one-in-a-million chance

of getting Weasel to skateboard,

and now had a one-in-two chance of winning!

Weasel used his impressive push-wait technique, and managed 23 metres.

Jack was looking very cool and collected, but he tipped the board.

Disaster!

The Top Dog Skateboarding trophy went to the underdogs.

Oliver and Weasel, congratulations. Amazing job.

Well done, Oliver and Weasel.

One of the most challenging events we did was dock diving.

Dock diving is a popular dog sport in the US.

The dogs need nerves of steel and it can take weeks of training.

I knew this one would be a tough one to pull off.

-How are we doing today?

-Good.

-You feel pretty good?

-Yeah.

Introducing Abbey and her Border Collie, Jet,

Ted and Seren, who is a Weimaraner,

and Sarah and her Golden Retriever, Millie.

The dogs had to jump as far as they could into a lake.

They could jump from the ramp or the dock, and the dog who jumped

the furthest into the water would win the Top Dog trophy.

I want you to play fetch, down this ramp.

Two of the dogs were comfortable around the lake.

Good! Show me some happiness! Come on!

The dogs weren't keen on jumping off the raised dock.

A good leap from Seren, finished off with some great doggy paddling.

Look at him go. He looks more like a dolphin than a dog.

THEY LAUGH

Before coming to the Doghouse, Millie had

jumped in water and couldn't get out, so she was quite nervous.

I'll take that.

-But she did eventually go in for a swim.

-Aw.

-Beautiful.

I'm fine.

-But who could've predicted this?

-Go on, you can do it!

Woah! She did it! Look at that! Look at her go!

Millie did an unexpected dock dive, surprising everyone!

That looks like a dog who loves to dive and wet everyone around her.

As does Jet.

And Seren!

It was a soggy Showtime.

First up was Seren who used the ramp and jumped spectacularly.

His biggest jump was 1.5 metres.

Despite Abbey's encouragement, Jet chose to jump from the ramp.

Go on, Jet!

Her biggest jump at 1.6 metres just beat Seren.

Then there was Millie.

Despite jumping earlier, she'd got bored of it,

so no-one knew what Millie would do at Showtime.

-But she did it!

-Good girl!

Have you ever seen such an aerodynamic dog?

The amazing Millie's biggest jump was 4.2 metres. Unbelievable!

Congratulations and the Top Dog trophy went to Sarah and Millie!

Remember goalkeeping?

-Rooster got it straightaway.

-Get it, Rooster!

-That's what I like to see!

And here's Cody with his goalkeeping dog, Bryn!

Look at him looking at the ball.

He saved it! Nice work! There is a good distance for starting.

Good! Good!

Mitsy was more interested in just playing with the ball.

At Showtime, Rooster defended his goal against CBBC's Johny Pitts.

Nice save, Rooster.

Johny was looking nervous, but Rooster remained focused!

Look at the concentration on that face.

Rooster meant business and delivered. What a great save!

And he retrieved the ball like the great Retriever he is.

Well done, Eleanor and Rooster!

My favourite dog sport of all time took place here in the paddock.

Dog Frisbee is one of the biggest sports in the US

and I really hope it takes off over here.

Remember Mist? He loved Frisbees.

Loved chewing them,

loved running with them,

and stealing them from other dogs!

She has taken the Frisbees from the other dogs!

-Uh-oh!

-Mist, come!

Unfortunately, Mist didn't catch any Frisbees at Showtime.

Nearly!

Indiana only managed to catch one.

What a catch that was!

It was Hannah and Max who shone at Showtime.

Their hours of practice really paid off. Look at them go.

Good boy!

Nice work, Max.

He nearly dropped it but managed to catch it by the skin of his teeth.

Oh, he made this look easy.

Well done, Max!

There was just no stopping him.

-The Frisbee challenge was performed with style and grace.

-Excellent job!

A well-deserved Top Dog trophy for Hannah and Max.

Canine Capers has shown us how much fun we can have with our dogs.

We've seen cute, clever and funny dogs.

Even some incredible balancing dogs.

So, brace yourself. Here are my top five favourite Canine Capers.

In this series we have seen some amazing dogs.

Pram-pushing dogs.

Cross-eyed dogs. There he goes. And again.

And doggy maids whose work is never done.

We've seen sweet little puppies who are good at waiting,

and waiting, and waiting...

-Go!

-..and eating.

But the top 5 wouldn't be complete without the flipping dogs!

In your own time. Thank you.

At number four, we have balancing Sparky,

who doesn't want to get his back paws dirty!

At three we have a dog who doesn't have paws at all!

Oh, that's just weird!

And at number two, who can forget this musical little fellow?

Come on, join in if you know it.

DOG HOWLS

But at number one, it has to be the winner of Strictly Dog Dancing.

Look at her go! Fantastic!

Yes, who let the dogs out? Whoever it was, we're very grateful.

Bring on the Strong Dogs!

This was the Weight Pull challenge, where the dogs

had to pull a weight behind them in the quickest time.

It was more about getting your dog to come to you when called.

Buddy got the hang of running to Hannah when called.

That's it! Food, look at it!

Good boy.

Jasmine and Lottie the Rottie, who also had no trouble at all.

She is fantastic!

And Ellie and Aysha, who were having some difficulty.

Show her it's worthwhile. Show her the food. Be animated.

-Aysha just wouldn't go to Ellie.

-Aysha, look! Come on!

We knew Aysha was capable of pulling from the try-outs.

-Aysha, stay!

-Got it under control?

-Yeah.

Her breed pulls sleds, so she would like to learn how to pull a sled.

Aysha, what's this? Is it cheese?

She had no trouble pulling Ellie around,

but wouldn't go to her when called.

Would she pull a weight and run to Ellie during Showtime?

She's like, "I don't know."

Lottie! Come!

First up was Lottie, and the very enthusiastic Jasmine.

The enthusiasm paid off and Lottie pulled the weight

over the line in 15.1 seconds.

-Whenever you're ready to call him...

-Buddy! Go on!

Hannah was so enthusiastic she forgot to move from

the finish line so Buddy could cross it.

A great run from Buddy, coming in at 6.5 seconds.

Ellie, whenever you're ready.

Aysha! Aysha!

And against all odds,

Aysha took everyone by surprise, especially Ellie!

SHE LAUGHS

She looks like she was born for this challenge.

Aysha was the fastest, running the course in 5.2 seconds.

What a team!

James, Ashley and Zoe had a really tricky challenge.

Zoe and Molly, your first sum is four plus three.

DOG BARKS

This challenge is a trick. The dogs learn to start and stop barking

by following the trainer's movements.

Good communication skills are a must.

DOG BARKS

Good boy!

DOG BARKS

Ashley and Maya did very well,

with the subtle twitch of Ashley's hand doing the job.

Good girl.

Top marks for this Showtime, Ashley and Maya.

Teaching your dog a few tricks is easy.

Getting them to perform a series of tricks,

one after another, that's a challenge,

a challenge our Dancing Dogs met with passion.

In this challenge, the teams had to put together a dance routine.

Zak awarded one point for a trick they already knew,

and three points if it was a brand-new trick.

Good girl!

Erin and Ace danced to the Addams Family,

and performed a number of tricks, old and new,

including some great rolls,

jumps over trainer...

..and the amazing limp trick they spent so much time learning.

Erin and Ace had done some dog dancing before, but they learned

some cool new moves and danced their socks off during this routine.

Sit! Up top.

A very cool performance.

Geraint and Sparky hadn't done dog dancing before,

so this was a big challenge for them. Dancing to Shine by Take That,

they pulled off an amazing routine.

Sparky's such a bouncy little dog.

Stay. Spin. Jump.

Check out those spins and jumps.

That's a new move, I like that. That was another three points.

This pair really pulled it out of the bag at Showtime.

Spin, jump.

What an ending. Brilliant.

Next were Tierney and Missy.

They had done dog dancing before

but honed their tricks for the cheerleading routine,

and were very creative. Missy walking backwards through

Tierney's legs got them valuable points, as did the moonwalk.

That's clever.

It was an impressive dance routine, and ended nicely with

Missy jumping over Tierney, and this beautiful bow.

Stupendous.

Good girl!

It was a very close competition,

but the dancing Top Dog trophy went to Tierney and Missy.

The key thing to remember is that these dogs were having fun.

You can achieve almost anything if you keep

training interesting for your dog.

In the Backstall challenge, the dogs had to jump on their trainer's backs

for three seconds then do it again.

They only had one minute to do as many as they could.

At Showtime, you can have your dog jump on your back and have your

hands off the ground, like this, you'll get double points for

-each jump they pull off. Does that make sense?

-Yes.

Wow. This challenge required a lot of trust between dog and trainer.

Charlie and Margot managed no problem,

followed by Anna and Alfie, then Rebecca and Petra.

Three backstalling dogs. Result!

It's a breakthrough! It's amazing.

Your minute starts now.

It was Rebecca and Petra who excelled in Showtime. Check it out.

What a leap. No hands on the ground, three seconds on the back,

that's a two-point backstall. And that's another!

If her hands were on the ground, it would have been only one point.

Petra was loving this! She was fast!

It took her one second to jump off and on again. Brilliant.

-Good girl!

-Your time is up. Very good. Excellent job.

Rebecca and Petra were the Backstall Top Dog trophy winners.

I'm Top Dog.

If you could be any other animal, you'd be a dog, right?

They're smart, cute and, in my opinion, way cooler than other pets.

I'm not the only one who thinks this. Here are some other animals

who would rather be dogs.

This is Panjo, the Bengal Tiger, and his new mum, a Jack Russell.

Panjo lives in South Africa, and after being abandoned,

a Jack Russell became his unlikely mum.

Panjo is 18 months old, and will double his size when fully grown.

Panjo and his mum do everything together, from sharing their bones

to having a game of chase in the garden.

Come on, Louis.

And here's Louis, the pot belly cross pig from Wales!

As a tiny piglet, Louis demonstrated his natural flair for agility.

Out of the blue, after watching the dogs, Louis just decided

to give the tunnel a go, and he hasn't looked back since.

Louis auditioned for a dog display team,

and amazingly, despite not being a dog, he got in!

He now performs with 15 other dogs in events around the UK,

showing off his incredible talent.

I knew this challenge was a risk.

Skipping with a dog requires incredible timing,

perfect communication, and an exceptional relationship.

You are all going to learn how to teach your dog to skip today.

-Are you ready to get started?

-ALL: Yes!

In the skipping challenge, the dogs and trainers had to jump a rope.

Ted, Honey and Millie were all happy jumping,

but when it came to the skipping rope, Ted simply wasn't into it.

Being in a new place can be upsetting for a dog, suddenly their

whole world is different, and Ted was feeling homesick.

-Sit.

-What's up?

-He's just getting very stressed.

Try again but if he doesn't want to it's OK.

Ellen didn't want to make Ted doing something he didn't want.

In the end Ellen and Ted pulled out of the Showtime challenge.

I was doing well and Ted was jumping but when we went home

he wouldn't do it at all. He just didn't want to.

I love that you recognised he wasn't comfortable

and wouldn't make him do it.

As a trainer, I want to commend you for putting your dog's

-wellbeing first. Congratulations for that.

-Thank you.

# We stick together

# We can see it through

# Cos you got a friend in me. #

At Showtime, Honey looked like she loved skipping. Look at her go.

She managed to complete seven jumps, beating her own record!

She was even jumping her own height!

Morgan got her friends involved to help complete their challenge.

Five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten!

Wow, with ten jumps, Morgan and Millie skipped off with the trophy.

Skipping is an impressive trick but it's not the only one

that requires concentration.

In Temptation Alley, our dogs had to run through

the middle of all these doggy delights.

They had to ignore the doggy bowls, traverse the sausage grid,

pass the toys, go around the gravy train fountain,

leave the squirrel tails, flying balls and the tunnel unexplored,

ignore the roast dinners and the lamppost.

The fastest dog would walk away with the trophy.

First up, Eleanor and The Stig.

Come, Stig!

Oh no, The Stig went off course.

Eleanor leapt the squirrel tails as she went to the rescue.

She saved the day and they completed Temptation Alley in 12 seconds.

Phew! Well done.

Next up, Josh and Red. And she's off.

She leapt the sausage grid, eyes locked on Josh

and flew straight as a dart down Temptation Alley, in two seconds.

Amazing. Let's see that again.

From the start, Red's focus was on Josh.

She only looked down to see how much she must jump.

ran straight over the squirrel tails, through the roast dinners,

past one last dish, all in an amazing two seconds.

Could Woody beat that?

Amy calls and he's off!

Soaring like a bird, past the gravy, through the squirrels,

avoiding the roast dinners and the final dish.

That was really quick. Let's see it again.

The Alley was full of distractions as Woody

flew over the sausages, his favourite. Ignored the squirrels.

He took to the air again, eye level with the roast chickens, but

although he was fast, he was beaten by fractions of a second by Red.

In the Two Legs challenge, the dogs had to walk on their hind legs.

Ben and Mac trained hard. At Showtime, Mac wore his lucky

neckerchief and walked 1.75 metres on his little legs.

Rachel taught Puzzle to stand tall and strong on his back legs,

but even his cool pony tail couldn't help him walk over a metre.

Rooney blew us all over, as she walked so far, she actually walked

off the course, managing to walk an astounding eight metres! Well done!

Let's go to the movies.

I was so impressed with some of the trainers at try-outs, I decided

to invent a completely new challenge. I called it Movie Dogs.

These trainers were exceptional. Check this out.

Positions, please! Lights, camera, action!

The trainers taught their dogs stunts to perform for the cameras.

Charity and Twyla got a thriller.

Emily and Timmi were given an action movie.

It took a few takes for our hero to rescue the cat from the tree.

Robbie and Sam managed most of their movie stunts first time,

but the weave poles in their adventure scene took

several takes to perfect, costing them valuable points.

So get your popcorn at the ready, it's Showtime.

First up was Sam. Bone. Door. Bone. Door.

Go on, grab the bone, Sam. He gets the bone, and runs for it!

Over the jump, through the tunnel, weaving through those poles.

Will he make it under the door?

Oh, nice roll. Yes, a brilliant performance!

Next up was firefighting Timmi, who on cue,

leapt into the fire truck, rang the bell, and he was off.

Nice driving, Timmi!

But did he manage to save the cat from the tree?

Yes, he did.

And then he took her out for tea. Good work, Timmi.

And finally, we had Twyler in her thriller movie.

As the bush shook, on cue she barked and growled,

then made a backwards retreat, before jumping into her basket.

But what was behind the bush?

Oh, it was only a rabbit.

That Oscar-winning performance earned Charity and Twyla

the Top Dog trophy!

That's all from the Doghouse.

I hope I've shown you how easy it is to have fun teaching your dog

and what you can achieve when you take the time to understand them.

It has truly been a blast.

That's all from me too, so ta-ta!
