0:00:11 > 0:00:15At the Dog House, amazing dog trainer, Zak George,

0:00:15 > 0:00:19teaches ordinary dogs things you'll never believe.

0:00:37 > 0:00:39# Who, who, who, who? #

0:00:42 > 0:00:46On today's show we're going to see dancing dogs,

0:00:46 > 0:00:48dogs hanging out,

0:00:48 > 0:00:54more quick tricks and three dogs are going to learn an amazing stunt.

0:00:54 > 0:00:57Today's challenge is skipping,

0:00:57 > 0:00:59or jumping rope, as we say in the US.

0:00:59 > 0:01:05If you have ever seen a dog skip, you'll agree it's pretty impressive.

0:01:05 > 0:01:08What I want to see is a dog that can skip with their trainer

0:01:08 > 0:01:10while their trainer turns the rope

0:01:10 > 0:01:13or while helpers turn the rope at either end.

0:01:13 > 0:01:18The winner will jump the most turns of the rope without stopping.

0:01:18 > 0:01:20For this trick I want to find dogs

0:01:20 > 0:01:22who already know how to jump on the spot.

0:01:22 > 0:01:25Let us see what happened at try-outs.

0:01:29 > 0:01:33400 kids brought their dogs to the try-outs in the hope

0:01:33 > 0:01:37Zak would take them to learn an incredible stunt.

0:01:37 > 0:01:40But first, they had to impress Zak.

0:01:40 > 0:01:42That's very, very good.

0:01:42 > 0:01:45We saw clever dogs, crazy dogs, enormous dogs...

0:01:45 > 0:01:47You're a beast!

0:01:47 > 0:01:50- ..and very tiny dogs. - There we go.

0:01:50 > 0:01:54Some were camera shy and some weren't.

0:01:54 > 0:01:56Others just really came for a pee.

0:01:56 > 0:02:01Three teams impressed Zak enough to take part in his skipping challenge.

0:02:01 > 0:02:03Let's meet them.

0:02:03 > 0:02:07I'm Ellen and this is Ted. I'm from London.

0:02:07 > 0:02:10Why do you think you would be good at the Dog House?

0:02:10 > 0:02:16My dog, he loves people and I think I'd really enjoy it.

0:02:16 > 0:02:19Ellen is 10-years-old and her dog, Ted, is two.

0:02:19 > 0:02:24Ted's a mixture of lots of different dogs, which makes him unique.

0:02:24 > 0:02:26Can you go up two notches on that?

0:02:26 > 0:02:28Yeah. He can go very high.

0:02:28 > 0:02:33Ted is an incredible jumper. He can nearly jump Ellen's garden fence,

0:02:33 > 0:02:35that's almost as high as Ellen.

0:02:35 > 0:02:37Good boy.

0:02:37 > 0:02:40That's really, really good, Ellen. OK, one more.

0:02:40 > 0:02:44This would be Who Let the Dogs Out? history if he clears that.

0:02:44 > 0:02:46- Good boy. - Did you see that?

0:02:46 > 0:02:50But it was Ellen and Ted's relationship that impressed Zak.

0:02:50 > 0:02:55Zak thought Ted's love of jumping would help in this challenge.

0:02:55 > 0:02:59I am really impressed by his hops. His jumping ability is amazing.

0:02:59 > 0:03:02I'm Morgan, she is Millie and we come from Worthing.

0:03:02 > 0:03:05Why do you want to come to the Dog House?

0:03:05 > 0:03:08We'd show people what we can do and how special she is.

0:03:08 > 0:03:12Morgan is 11-years-old and Millie is one and-a-half.

0:03:12 > 0:03:17Morgan loves training Millie and has taught her some unusual tricks.

0:03:17 > 0:03:19Can you make that hand signal even less?

0:03:19 > 0:03:22OK. That is pretty amazing.

0:03:22 > 0:03:25Morgan likes diving, singing and plate spinning.

0:03:25 > 0:03:28That's right. Plate spinning.

0:03:28 > 0:03:30When Millie is not with Morgan,

0:03:30 > 0:03:32she likes playing with the family dogs.

0:03:32 > 0:03:34Left paw.

0:03:34 > 0:03:37- Does she speak on command? - BARKING

0:03:37 > 0:03:39Zak loved Morgan and Millie's tricks.

0:03:39 > 0:03:42He knew Morgan would work at this challenge.

0:03:42 > 0:03:45- Growl. - GROWLING

0:03:45 > 0:03:47That is really cool.

0:03:47 > 0:03:50That kind of trick takes real communication.

0:03:50 > 0:03:56Hello, my name is Becky and my dog's name is Honey. We come from Swindon.

0:03:56 > 0:03:58Why do you want to come to the Dog House?

0:03:58 > 0:04:02I love dogs and they're really funny.

0:04:02 > 0:04:06Becky's nine-years-old and Honey's one-and-a-half.

0:04:06 > 0:04:08Honey is a rescue dog and was already

0:04:08 > 0:04:11named Honey when she came to Becky's family.

0:04:11 > 0:04:15Despite being cute, Honey can be quite a mischief.

0:04:15 > 0:04:19She steals Becky's dad's slippers on a regular basis.

0:04:19 > 0:04:21That jumping was really cool.

0:04:21 > 0:04:25You're talking to your dog when you're working with it,

0:04:25 > 0:04:29you're doing it with body language. It is very impressive.

0:04:29 > 0:04:33Becky's communication with Honey really won Zak over.

0:04:33 > 0:04:35As Honey is a good jumper,

0:04:35 > 0:04:38he felt she'd be perfect for the skipping challenge.

0:04:38 > 0:04:40So good!

0:04:40 > 0:04:44So, Ellen and Ted, Morgan and Millie

0:04:44 > 0:04:48and Becky and Honey are going head to head in this challenge.

0:04:48 > 0:04:53The winner will take home this, the Who Let the Dogs Out? Top Dog trophy.

0:05:01 > 0:05:06Having three dogs that can already jump straight up on command

0:05:06 > 0:05:09gives us a real head start on this challenge.

0:05:09 > 0:05:11- Here we go. - Training day one.

0:05:11 > 0:05:13Ellen, Morgan and Becky

0:05:13 > 0:05:16are about to find out what their challenge is going to be.

0:05:16 > 0:05:18- How are you doing? - Good.

0:05:18 > 0:05:22You are all going to learn how to teach your dog to skip today.

0:05:22 > 0:05:25- Are you ready to get started? - Yes.

0:05:25 > 0:05:28I want to make sure all of you have your currencies.

0:05:28 > 0:05:31Currencies are your dog's form of money.

0:05:31 > 0:05:35- What would your currency be? - Sausages and ham.

0:05:35 > 0:05:36I'd learn to skip for that!

0:05:36 > 0:05:39We are going to get started.

0:05:39 > 0:05:42I want to practise having your dogs jump, stay.

0:05:42 > 0:05:43Jump, stay.

0:05:43 > 0:05:46All three of today's dogs can jump

0:05:46 > 0:05:49but Becky has the most experience training dogs.

0:05:49 > 0:05:51You are so subtle.

0:05:51 > 0:05:55You're just like, stay. It's beautiful. It's very impressive.

0:05:55 > 0:05:58- I like how you communicate. - Well done, Becky.

0:05:58 > 0:06:02- But what's Ted doing? - Is he good off leash?

0:06:02 > 0:06:03Usually.

0:06:03 > 0:06:07Oh dear, now Ted will have to stay on his lead.

0:06:07 > 0:06:09Jump, sit.

0:06:09 > 0:06:13Teaching your dog to skip is a good relationship-builder

0:06:13 > 0:06:14because it requires

0:06:14 > 0:06:17being in perfect tune with one another.

0:06:17 > 0:06:20Millie's in tune all right, in tune with her stomach.

0:06:20 > 0:06:24Morgan says Millie never stops eating and never fills up.

0:06:24 > 0:06:28- Those treats are too big. Tell me you break those up?- No.

0:06:28 > 0:06:29Let me show you something.

0:06:29 > 0:06:34When using food rewards, your treats should be that big. Maybe smaller.

0:06:34 > 0:06:38- Great news, Ted's back off the lead. - Perfect.

0:06:38 > 0:06:42- Jump. Stay. - Let's see what we've got. Nice.

0:06:42 > 0:06:43Hand signal with stay.

0:06:43 > 0:06:46Jump, stay. Stay.

0:06:46 > 0:06:48Let's move on to the next step.

0:06:48 > 0:06:52Well done, Ted, leading the way.

0:06:52 > 0:06:55I want you literally jumping with an invisible rope.

0:06:55 > 0:06:59Right. Let's see those invisible ropes.

0:06:59 > 0:07:04Wait, we can't. They are invisible. Sorry.

0:07:04 > 0:07:07Uh-oh, Ted's off again.

0:07:07 > 0:07:11- Ellen has got a dilemma. - What's up?

0:07:11 > 0:07:14Ted, come here. I knew he'd do this. Come here.

0:07:14 > 0:07:16We can put him on a leash.

0:07:16 > 0:07:19He doesn't jump very well when he is on a leash.

0:07:19 > 0:07:21Back on the lead for Ted.

0:07:21 > 0:07:24On the lead he doesn't jump, off the lead he walks away.

0:07:24 > 0:07:29What about Honey and Millie? Go on, jump the invisible rope.

0:07:29 > 0:07:33It is still a little off but you're all on the right track.

0:07:33 > 0:07:35Jump for joy!

0:07:35 > 0:07:40Give them a break and let them take water, they've been jumping a lot.

0:07:44 > 0:07:47Skipping with your dog is a lot like dancing.

0:07:47 > 0:07:50It takes rhythm, timing and lots of style.

0:07:50 > 0:07:53Here is a group of dogs that have just that.

0:07:58 > 0:08:03And now welcome to Strictly Come Dog Dancing.

0:08:03 > 0:08:06Look at this lovely mover!

0:08:06 > 0:08:10Such good posture. Really using the dance floor.

0:08:10 > 0:08:14And look at this couple in green. That dog knows how to lead.

0:08:17 > 0:08:19Oh, look. A conga.

0:08:19 > 0:08:23No, you're meant to put your hands on his hips, like that.

0:08:23 > 0:08:26Nice conga action.

0:08:27 > 0:08:30Soon everyone will join in.

0:08:30 > 0:08:32Told you.

0:08:32 > 0:08:36This couple have great chemistry. Just look at this hand movement.

0:08:36 > 0:08:40Surely they are looking like favourites to win.

0:08:44 > 0:08:47This dog has learned to breakdance.

0:08:47 > 0:08:50Well, he only has had one lesson.

0:08:50 > 0:08:54This pair have learnt to spin. Yeah, but anyone can spin. Next!

0:08:58 > 0:09:04This is more like it. Great costumes, great choreography, great moves.

0:09:04 > 0:09:07Surely, these two are our favourites.

0:09:09 > 0:09:14Could a last-minute moonwalk snatch the Strictly Come Dog Dancing title?

0:09:14 > 0:09:19Or will a hand jive do it? I mean, a paw jive.

0:09:21 > 0:09:27These two are learning the classic jump and roll dance move.

0:09:27 > 0:09:30Oh, come on. That is cheating.

0:09:34 > 0:09:37Oh, no, no, no! There is no competition.

0:09:37 > 0:09:42These are our Strictly Come Dog Dancing champions. Look at them go!

0:09:55 > 0:10:00Coming up, we've got some chilled out dogs, Zak's quick trick,

0:10:00 > 0:10:05and we will find out who will win the Who Let the Dogs Out? Top Dog trophy.

0:10:11 > 0:10:14Looking good, guys. Looking real good.

0:10:14 > 0:10:15Very nice.

0:10:15 > 0:10:19As you can see, I have brought my own skipping ropes.

0:10:19 > 0:10:23I hadn't planned on introducing this to training so early.

0:10:23 > 0:10:28I'm pleased with what I've seen and I think we should phase it in.

0:10:28 > 0:10:35- Are you cool with that? - Finally, ropes. That's better.

0:10:35 > 0:10:38- Find out what works for your dog. - WHINING

0:10:38 > 0:10:43Oh, dear. Doesn't sound like much will be working for Ted.

0:10:43 > 0:10:47You're not going to skip like normal. Give your dog time.

0:10:47 > 0:10:51You are dragging the rope on the ground. Let's work on it.

0:10:51 > 0:10:54Just start practising. OK? What's up?

0:10:54 > 0:10:56He's getting really stressed.

0:10:56 > 0:11:00Try and work with him but if he's not feeling it, that's OK.

0:11:00 > 0:11:03Will Ted ever get in the mood for skipping?

0:11:03 > 0:11:07- Let's see how you guys are doing. - Show off.

0:11:07 > 0:11:13Although actually, Morgan and Millie are coming on leaps and bounds.

0:11:13 > 0:11:17Look at that. Beautiful. Beautiful. Is that not good?

0:11:17 > 0:11:20Becky and Honey are doing well, too.

0:11:20 > 0:11:23Ellen's dog, Ted, is still distracted.

0:11:23 > 0:11:27- What can Ellen do for him? - Don't be discouraged.

0:11:27 > 0:11:30My dogs have done the same thing. It's normal.

0:11:30 > 0:11:35Zak says that staying in a new place can be very upsetting for any dog.

0:11:35 > 0:11:38Suddenly, their whole world is different.

0:11:38 > 0:11:40Poor homesick Ted.

0:11:40 > 0:11:43Becky and Honey are doing very well

0:11:43 > 0:11:45and having no problems learning this stunt.

0:11:45 > 0:11:48Two, now go for a third.

0:11:48 > 0:11:52Three. Now work on bringing that together closer and closer

0:11:52 > 0:11:55without rewarding in between.

0:11:55 > 0:11:58In other words, we want to let them know,

0:11:58 > 0:12:01"Hey, we are going for multiple jumps, here."

0:12:01 > 0:12:03You want to build that up.

0:12:03 > 0:12:05Continue working, I'll see you tomorrow.

0:12:05 > 0:12:07Bye.

0:12:07 > 0:12:08See you, bye.

0:12:08 > 0:12:12Morgan and Millie are getting in some nice jumps over that rope.

0:12:12 > 0:12:15Ellen has to find a way of helping Ted feel better

0:12:15 > 0:12:18before they can catch up with training.

0:12:18 > 0:12:21All of today's dogs are crossbreeds.

0:12:21 > 0:12:25They're all different-looking yet they have one thing in common.

0:12:25 > 0:12:28Let's look at their Mutt Measurements.

0:12:30 > 0:12:34Ted is two-years-old and he loves to be chased.

0:12:34 > 0:12:39He loves balls, toys and jumping.

0:12:39 > 0:12:43Ted is a mixture of dogs, no-one knows which breeds are in there.

0:12:43 > 0:12:47Mixed breed dogs are often healthier and live longer than pure breeds.

0:12:47 > 0:12:50They often excel at dog sports.

0:12:50 > 0:12:54Depending on the traits Ted has, he could easily have the energy

0:12:54 > 0:12:58and stamina to bounce his way into a winning position.

0:12:58 > 0:13:00Next up we have Honey.

0:13:00 > 0:13:04Honey is just over a year old and is a cutie-pie.

0:13:04 > 0:13:07She's a cross between a Yorkshire Terrier and a Jack Russell.

0:13:07 > 0:13:10Yorkshire terriers are small.

0:13:10 > 0:13:14In fact, for a long time, the world's smallest dog was a Yorkie.

0:13:14 > 0:13:17Honey has definitely inherited cuteness from somewhere

0:13:17 > 0:13:20but that's not going to help her with skipping.

0:13:20 > 0:13:24Hopefully her high energy will see her through.

0:13:24 > 0:13:29Finally, we have Millie. She is another real mixture of Dogs.

0:13:29 > 0:13:31Millie is part South American Chihuahua,

0:13:31 > 0:13:36part Pomeranian from central Europe and part Jack Russell from England.

0:13:36 > 0:13:40It's fair to say that Millie has a multinational family tree.

0:13:40 > 0:13:43Millie is also just over a year old

0:13:43 > 0:13:47and already knows lots of cool tricks like bark and growl on command.

0:13:47 > 0:13:50Will this help with skipping? Probably not.

0:13:50 > 0:13:53For a small dog, she certainly can jump.

0:13:58 > 0:14:01Yesterday, Ted was getting stressed.

0:14:01 > 0:14:04Ellen's training him separately.

0:14:04 > 0:14:07Since Ted's been here, he has been thrown off.

0:14:07 > 0:14:10That can happen when you introduce a dog to a new place.

0:14:10 > 0:14:13- How were you doing? - I'm all right.

0:14:13 > 0:14:15- How is Ted doing? - He's doing good.

0:14:15 > 0:14:20- How has training has been with Ted? - Training has been doing all right.

0:14:20 > 0:14:23Ted seems happier when he's away from the other dogs,

0:14:23 > 0:14:27but he's still getting distracted.

0:14:27 > 0:14:30Sometimes he just doesn't want to do things. He whines a lot.

0:14:30 > 0:14:34Let's go ahead and do the jump. Let's use the rope.

0:14:34 > 0:14:37Don't try and do anything serious.

0:14:37 > 0:14:41Does he react to any differently when you introduce this?

0:14:41 > 0:14:45If I throw it over his head he might flinch. He's over that now.

0:14:45 > 0:14:49- His anxiety doesn't come back?- No. - If it does, we stop immediately

0:14:49 > 0:14:51and go into reassurance.

0:14:51 > 0:14:54We get down, we love him and we give him treats.

0:14:54 > 0:14:58This place is happy. You don't do anything you do want to.

0:14:58 > 0:15:03- Ted, jump. Jump. - Yes! Good. Good. Exactly right.

0:15:03 > 0:15:05After one go, Ted loses interest.

0:15:05 > 0:15:07Poor Ellen, poor Ted.

0:15:07 > 0:15:09OK, right there. No big deal.

0:15:09 > 0:15:13Get down on the ground. Sit down with him. His tail is still wagging.

0:15:13 > 0:15:18With him you want to keep your training sessions short and happy.

0:15:18 > 0:15:24Continue working on it and I'll see you back here in a few weeks.

0:15:24 > 0:15:27- All right, bye. - Bye.- Bye, Ted.

0:15:27 > 0:15:30I wonder how Morgan and Millie and Becky and Honey are doing.

0:15:30 > 0:15:33Good girl. Jump. Jump.

0:15:33 > 0:15:35BARKING

0:15:35 > 0:15:38Have they managed any skips yet?

0:15:38 > 0:15:39Ah! Nearly, Becky.

0:15:39 > 0:15:43Morgan and Millie, Becky and Honey. Have you made progress?

0:15:43 > 0:15:46She is jumping without the hand signal.

0:15:46 > 0:15:49Have you been able to use the rope at all?

0:15:49 > 0:15:51Not really. She hasn't quite got it.

0:15:51 > 0:15:55Don't worry. There are a few weeks to go before show time.

0:15:55 > 0:15:57Not into my arms.

0:15:57 > 0:15:58How are you doing with Honey?

0:15:58 > 0:16:01It is the same thing, without a hand signal.

0:16:01 > 0:16:04Becky and Honey are doing much better,

0:16:04 > 0:16:08although Honey still wants to play tug-of-war with the skipping rope.

0:16:08 > 0:16:10Let me see where you are, here.

0:16:10 > 0:16:16Good, keep going. Go again, go again. Now you are teaching. Yes!

0:16:16 > 0:16:20Wow! Forget Honey, I didn't know Zak could jump that high.

0:16:20 > 0:16:22Morgan, did you see this?

0:16:22 > 0:16:25- It's really good. - It is pretty good!

0:16:25 > 0:16:29- Have you got that far with Millie? - No, still working on it.

0:16:29 > 0:16:30Let see what you've got.

0:16:30 > 0:16:32Lovely, very good.

0:16:32 > 0:16:34Let's go back to incorporating the rope.

0:16:34 > 0:16:38Millie needs to stop mucking about with sticks.

0:16:38 > 0:16:42I don't think I ever met a dog that didn't like a stick.

0:16:42 > 0:16:47You've got a few weeks to practise, then the dog that jumps the most

0:16:47 > 0:16:51consecutive jumps will win the Top Dog trophy.

0:16:51 > 0:16:55Keep practising and we will see you in a few weeks.

0:16:55 > 0:16:58- All right guys, goodbye. - ALL: Bye.

0:17:00 > 0:17:03Learning to skip takes a lot of practice.

0:17:03 > 0:17:07It's about timing, communication and keeping your dog motivated.

0:17:10 > 0:17:12If you want to teach your dog to skip,

0:17:12 > 0:17:15here are Zak's six steps to skipping.

0:17:15 > 0:17:19Using a treat or toy, teach your dog to jump straight up.

0:17:19 > 0:17:23Make sure your dog is listening by making them wait in between jumps.

0:17:23 > 0:17:27Soon you can start having your dog jump on command,

0:17:27 > 0:17:29without having to hold the treat.

0:17:29 > 0:17:31Once your dog can jump on command,

0:17:31 > 0:17:35get your dog used to jumping at the same time as you.

0:17:35 > 0:17:39When you can both jump together, begin to use an imaginary rope.

0:17:39 > 0:17:44Finally, introduce a real rope and soon you will be skipping like a pro.

0:17:48 > 0:17:53Teaching your dog tricks is not only fun but it is very rewarding.

0:17:53 > 0:17:57There are so many tricks that you can teach that are so easy to learn.

0:17:57 > 0:18:00We are going to be working with Nellie today.

0:18:00 > 0:18:04It's easy to teach your dog to weave through your legs.

0:18:04 > 0:18:08For this trick you will need a treat or a toy, something your dog loves.

0:18:08 > 0:18:12I'm going to use a toy with Nellie. Come on, Nellie.

0:18:12 > 0:18:13Very good!

0:18:13 > 0:18:16Teaching your dog to weave through legs

0:18:16 > 0:18:20is a really easy but very impressive trick to teach.

0:18:20 > 0:18:23I cater to Nellie's play drive on this.

0:18:23 > 0:18:26I get her really amped up before I teach her a new trick.

0:18:26 > 0:18:30Good work. I am satisfied that she is ready to work.

0:18:30 > 0:18:31Give. Perfect.

0:18:31 > 0:18:36I want to start by encouraging her to go through my legs like this.

0:18:36 > 0:18:38Come on. I'm going to reward her for that.

0:18:38 > 0:18:40She's on the right track.

0:18:40 > 0:18:44Look at how she's engaging and having fun. Good girl.

0:18:44 > 0:18:48Through, here. Look, she's starting to make the turn through the legs.

0:18:48 > 0:18:52Looking fantastic. She loves it. Get it, get it.

0:18:52 > 0:18:54Very good, she is into it.

0:18:54 > 0:18:58I'm going to start to say weave, to let her know what she is doing.

0:18:58 > 0:19:01Weave, yes.

0:19:01 > 0:19:03Weave, very good.

0:19:03 > 0:19:06You could also use a clicker for this

0:19:06 > 0:19:07and you would click

0:19:07 > 0:19:11and say the word weave to make it clear to the dog.

0:19:11 > 0:19:14I think we are ready to phase out the hand signal.

0:19:14 > 0:19:16Ready? Good. Weave. Go on.

0:19:16 > 0:19:19Weave. Good. Weave. Good!

0:19:19 > 0:19:23Weave, weave. Yes. Weave.

0:19:23 > 0:19:29It is a flashy, impressive trick and it is so easy to teach.

0:19:29 > 0:19:32Great job, Nellie. Very good.

0:19:38 > 0:19:41When you go on holiday and you leave your dog at the kennels,

0:19:41 > 0:19:43what do you think he does?

0:19:43 > 0:19:45If you check him into a Pet Hotel,

0:19:45 > 0:19:48he'll have a better time than you.

0:19:51 > 0:19:56It's a dog's life in Hollywood, if, by a dog's life,

0:19:56 > 0:19:58you mean five-star treatment

0:19:58 > 0:20:01and complete doggy luxury at this hound hotel.

0:20:03 > 0:20:05From standard rooms to luxury suites.

0:20:05 > 0:20:10After being picked up by a chauffeur, it is time to get pampered.

0:20:11 > 0:20:13That counts as a massage.

0:20:15 > 0:20:18There are play areas and why not invite a friend up

0:20:18 > 0:20:21to your 110 luxury room?

0:20:21 > 0:20:26Playtime is from 7am-7pm in one of three indoor dog parks.

0:20:26 > 0:20:29One for little dogs, one for medium-sized dogs

0:20:29 > 0:20:31and one for the big boys.

0:20:31 > 0:20:35This is a five-star holiday pad for your five-star holiday pooch.

0:20:39 > 0:20:43All aboard the yellow bus is here to take you to dog camp.

0:20:43 > 0:20:48A day of four-legged fun is about to begin.

0:20:48 > 0:20:53The bus does its rounds, picking up one eager passenger after another.

0:20:53 > 0:20:57And then, playtime. "The last one in the pool is a cat!"

0:20:59 > 0:21:01There is so much to-do.

0:21:01 > 0:21:02You can run free in the grounds

0:21:02 > 0:21:06or enjoy quality time with your favourite bone.

0:21:06 > 0:21:08Then return home, dog-tired.

0:21:12 > 0:21:14It's show time for our skipping dogs.

0:21:14 > 0:21:17I'm curious to see how this one goes

0:21:17 > 0:21:20because this is one of those tricks that can go either way.

0:21:20 > 0:21:23I will be counting the total number of jumps.

0:21:23 > 0:21:26The team with the most consecutive jumps in one minute

0:21:26 > 0:21:31will win this, the Who Let the Dogs Out? Top Dog trophy.

0:21:33 > 0:21:37Three weeks of hard core training ends now.

0:21:37 > 0:21:43This is the biggest challenge Millie, Ted and Honey have ever faced.

0:21:44 > 0:21:47There can only be one winner and today is the big day.

0:21:49 > 0:21:52Who has learned to skip?

0:21:52 > 0:21:54Who will skip the longest?

0:21:55 > 0:22:00And who will walk away with the Who Let the Dogs Out? Top Dog trophy?

0:22:03 > 0:22:06Becky and Honey were practically skipping when we last saw them,

0:22:06 > 0:22:09they've been perfecting their technique.

0:22:09 > 0:22:14Could Honey lose concentration and lose the competition?

0:22:14 > 0:22:16She has got to do five jumps in a row.

0:22:16 > 0:22:18That is spectacular.

0:22:18 > 0:22:21You were getting there but you had a long way to go.

0:22:21 > 0:22:24What has been the best thing you have learned from all this?

0:22:24 > 0:22:29The best thing would be that Honey loves me more than she used to.

0:22:29 > 0:22:32Aw, that's fantastic. Why do you think that is?

0:22:32 > 0:22:36Because I have got to know her more and training with her.

0:22:38 > 0:22:44Our first contenders for the Top Dog trophy are Becky and Honey.

0:22:44 > 0:22:47Wow! Look at Becky and Honey go.

0:22:48 > 0:22:51Five! Five!

0:22:51 > 0:22:55Let's see those skips again. Honey can really jump.

0:22:55 > 0:22:58Each dog has three attempts at Zak's challenge.

0:22:58 > 0:23:02Only their best shot will count. She is off again.

0:23:02 > 0:23:04This is amazing.

0:23:04 > 0:23:07Go, Honey. She is incredible.

0:23:07 > 0:23:09That's five again.

0:23:09 > 0:23:11Honey is jumping her own height.

0:23:11 > 0:23:16Imagine you could jump as high as your own head without a run-up!

0:23:16 > 0:23:19Can Becky and Honey beat five? Let's find out.

0:23:21 > 0:23:25She's off. This is Becky's last go.

0:23:25 > 0:23:31five, six, seven... But she stopped.

0:23:31 > 0:23:34Why has she stopped? Seven is amazing enough.

0:23:34 > 0:23:37She has even beaten her own record.

0:23:37 > 0:23:42That was Becky's last go. Seven. Was it enough?

0:23:44 > 0:23:49Three weeks ago, Ellen and Ted were struggling with the challenge.

0:23:49 > 0:23:53Once Ellen got home, Ted's training took off.

0:23:53 > 0:23:55He is doing very well.

0:23:55 > 0:23:59He can do it but he has days when he doesn't want to do anything.

0:23:59 > 0:24:01Otherwise, he's good at it.

0:24:01 > 0:24:05But just as the skipping finale is about to start,

0:24:05 > 0:24:10Ellen tells Zak she's decided to pull Ted out of the competition.

0:24:10 > 0:24:13I was doing very well and Ted was jumping

0:24:13 > 0:24:16but a few days after we went to our caravan

0:24:16 > 0:24:19and he won't do it there because it's new to him.

0:24:19 > 0:24:23When we went home, he wouldn't do it because he didn't want to.

0:24:23 > 0:24:28Like people, certain things throw us off, different environments.

0:24:28 > 0:24:32What I love about this is that you recognise he's not comfortable.

0:24:32 > 0:24:36"I won't make him do something he's not comfortable doing."

0:24:36 > 0:24:39I commend you for putting your dog's well-being first.

0:24:39 > 0:24:44- You are to be congratulated. I am very proud of you.- Thank you.

0:24:44 > 0:24:48# We'll stick together we can see it through

0:24:48 > 0:24:50# Cos you've got a friend in me. #

0:25:00 > 0:25:05Morgan and Millie have also been practising over the last few weeks.

0:25:05 > 0:25:08- Millie has finally learnt to skip. - It's going well.

0:25:08 > 0:25:12She skips both ways, one with me swinging the rope

0:25:12 > 0:25:16and one with us jumping with two people swinging the rope.

0:25:16 > 0:25:18According to Zak's skipping rules,

0:25:18 > 0:25:22- both these techniques can be used. - What's your strategy?

0:25:22 > 0:25:24Which one are you going to do?

0:25:24 > 0:25:26I'll try all of them and see which is highest

0:25:26 > 0:25:29because she can do all of them and it depends what mood she is in.

0:25:29 > 0:25:32What has been the most challenging thing?

0:25:32 > 0:25:36Probably being able to jump with her in front of me

0:25:36 > 0:25:38and getting the timings

0:25:38 > 0:25:41and being able to move with her when she moves.

0:25:43 > 0:25:46Morgan is up next.

0:25:46 > 0:25:50She has a different strategy from Becky and a couple of helpers.

0:25:50 > 0:25:54That is her mum on the right and she is off.

0:25:54 > 0:25:57Four, five. Five.

0:25:57 > 0:26:02That was some great jumping but not enough to beat Becky.

0:26:02 > 0:26:06We're counting the number of times they jump that rope without stopping.

0:26:06 > 0:26:11Morgan is changing tactics. Let us see if it makes a difference.

0:26:11 > 0:26:14Jump. Jump. Jump.

0:26:14 > 0:26:18Jump. Jump. Jump.

0:26:18 > 0:26:21That was only five jumps again. What is she going to do?

0:26:21 > 0:26:24Can she beat Becky's massive seven jumps?

0:26:26 > 0:26:29Morgan has reverted to her other technique.

0:26:29 > 0:26:32Last chance, Morgan and Millie.

0:26:32 > 0:26:36Five, six... What? What? You can't stop it there!

0:26:36 > 0:26:38Who's won? Who has won?

0:26:41 > 0:26:44All right guys.

0:26:44 > 0:26:48The winner of today's Who Let the Dogs Out? Top dog Trophy is...

0:26:51 > 0:26:55with a score of 10 consecutive jumps, Morgan and Millie.

0:26:55 > 0:26:58Congratulations.

0:26:58 > 0:27:02Well done, Morgan. Let's see those 10 winning skips.

0:27:07 > 0:27:10Brilliant.

0:27:10 > 0:27:14It could have been 11 if it hadn't hit Morgan's legs.

0:27:14 > 0:27:18You earned it. All of you did such a great job.

0:27:18 > 0:27:22You've all done brilliantly. That's my new English word.

0:27:22 > 0:27:26- Brilliantly. - Yes. That's all from the Dog House.

0:27:26 > 0:27:31We'll see you next time on Who Let the Dogs Out?

0:27:31 > 0:27:35He wouldn't do it with the skipping rope but I don't mind.

0:27:35 > 0:27:37He did well already.

0:27:37 > 0:27:39I think Honey did really well.

0:27:39 > 0:27:42That is the most jumps she has ever done before

0:27:42 > 0:27:44and I am very proud of her.

0:27:44 > 0:27:48It feels amazing to be top dog. Me and Millie worked so hard for it

0:27:48 > 0:27:50and we are going to remember this day for ever.
