0:29:50 > 0:29:57.
0:30:02 > 0:30:04Want to see some shaking dogs?
0:30:04 > 0:30:07Or some singing dogs?
0:30:07 > 0:30:10Or even some hopping dogs?
0:30:10 > 0:30:12Then this is the show for you.
0:30:12 > 0:30:15At the Dog House, champion dog-trainer Zak George
0:30:15 > 0:30:18teaches ordinary dogs incredible things.
0:30:18 > 0:30:21Welcome to Who Let The Dogs Out?
0:30:21 > 0:30:24- # Who let the dogs out? - Woof! Woof-woof!
0:30:24 > 0:30:28- # Who let the dogs out? - Woof! Woof-woof!
0:30:28 > 0:30:32- # Who let the dogs out? - Woof! Woof-woof!
0:30:32 > 0:30:35- # Who let the dogs out? - Woof! Woof-woof!
0:30:35 > 0:30:39- # Who let the dogs out? - Woof! Woof-woof!
0:30:39 > 0:30:42# Who let the dogs out? #
0:30:42 > 0:30:46Today on Who Let The Dogs Out?, were going to see cats and dogs.
0:30:46 > 0:30:49Goats and dogs, bumblebee sniffer dogs
0:30:49 > 0:30:53and three dogs are going to learn something a-ma-zing!
0:30:55 > 0:30:56Today's challenge is maths.
0:30:56 > 0:30:59For those of you that didn't know dogs could do maths,
0:30:59 > 0:31:01you're in for a real treat.
0:31:01 > 0:31:04Each team will be given three different sums
0:31:04 > 0:31:07and the dogs are hopefully going to bark out the right answers.
0:31:07 > 0:31:10The team will get scored on how many sums they get right
0:31:10 > 0:31:13and how well they perform this trick.
0:31:13 > 0:31:18This trick can take a while to teach, so I need three smart dogs
0:31:18 > 0:31:21and, if possible, dogs that can already bark on command.
0:31:21 > 0:31:23That's what I was looking for at the try-out.
0:31:28 > 0:31:31Over 400 kids brought their dogs to the try-outs
0:31:31 > 0:31:35in the hope that Zak would take them to the Dog House
0:31:35 > 0:31:38- to learn an incredible stunt. - Nice work.
0:31:38 > 0:31:42- We saw fluffy dogs. We saw huge dogs.- Oh, wow!
0:31:42 > 0:31:45- Tiny dogs.- So good!
0:31:45 > 0:31:48Dogs that were somewhere in the middle,
0:31:48 > 0:31:50and dogs that just wanted to piddle.
0:31:50 > 0:31:53All they could do was to show Zak their top tricks
0:31:53 > 0:31:57in the hope that he would choose them to come to the Dog House
0:31:57 > 0:32:00where they would find out what stunt he had chosen for them.
0:32:00 > 0:32:01That's pretty good.
0:32:04 > 0:32:07Zak only needed three teams for the maths trick
0:32:07 > 0:32:10and here are the three that impressed him the most.
0:32:10 > 0:32:13My name is Zoe, my dog's name is Molly
0:32:13 > 0:32:15and we come from just outside Aberdeen.
0:32:15 > 0:32:17Why do you want to come to the Dog House?
0:32:17 > 0:32:21Because I think I'd be really good at training Molly
0:32:21 > 0:32:24and I think she'd be perfect for it
0:32:24 > 0:32:26cos she's amazing.
0:32:26 > 0:32:28Zoe is 12 and Molly is two.
0:32:28 > 0:32:31When Zoe got Molly, she was delighted to have a dog.
0:32:31 > 0:32:34But there was something unusual about Molly.
0:32:34 > 0:32:37- We found out she was pregnant. - Oh, wow!
0:32:37 > 0:32:40- And she gave birth to nine puppies. - Nine puppies!
0:32:40 > 0:32:43Zoe has taught Molly ten tricks. Here are just a few of them.
0:32:43 > 0:32:45Lie down.
0:32:45 > 0:32:47Good girl. Roll over.
0:32:47 > 0:32:49Good girl.
0:32:49 > 0:32:53- That's very good.- Zak loved how Molly could speak when asked to...
0:32:53 > 0:32:56- Speak.- Woof!- Speak.- Woof! - Speak.- Woof!- That's excellent.
0:32:56 > 0:33:00..and thought they'd be a perfect pair to learn the maths trick.
0:33:00 > 0:33:02That's what I was looking for, exactly.
0:33:02 > 0:33:07My name's Ashleigh, my dog's name's Maya and we're from Kent.
0:33:07 > 0:33:09Why do you want to come to the Dog House?
0:33:09 > 0:33:12I want to prove that just cos she's a big dog doesn't mean that
0:33:12 > 0:33:15she's scary or she can't do tricks.
0:33:15 > 0:33:18Ashleigh is 11 and Maya the Rottweiler is 4.
0:33:18 > 0:33:20Bang.
0:33:20 > 0:33:22- Good girl.- That's awesome.
0:33:22 > 0:33:26- Wait.- Ashleigh has taught Maya how to count.
0:33:26 > 0:33:30- Although she's got no clue how she did it.- 7 - 4?- Woof! Woof! Woof!
0:33:30 > 0:33:34However, Ashleigh and Maya look like they need Zak's help.
0:33:34 > 0:33:36That was wrong, but...
0:33:36 > 0:33:40Zak thought that Maya was a very intelligent and cute dog
0:33:40 > 0:33:43and, as a team, they'd benefit from some training.
0:33:43 > 0:33:44You've done a really good job.
0:33:44 > 0:33:47My name's James, my dog's name's Alfie.
0:33:47 > 0:33:50- Where you from?- South Kirkby.
0:33:50 > 0:33:54Tell me why you want to be at the Dog House.
0:33:54 > 0:33:56He wants to learn more tricks.
0:33:56 > 0:33:59James is 10 and Alfie the boarder terrier is 3.
0:34:01 > 0:34:04James thinks Alfie is better than other dogs
0:34:04 > 0:34:08- as he can do a dozen tricks. - Oh, look! He twirled.
0:34:08 > 0:34:10James recently got a puppy called Izzy.
0:34:10 > 0:34:14Despite being older, Alfie is scared of her.
0:34:14 > 0:34:16He runs away and hides from her.
0:34:16 > 0:34:19Let's hope he doesn't run away when he get's a tricky maths question.
0:34:19 > 0:34:22Lot's of potential there.
0:34:22 > 0:34:25So, Zoe and Molly, Ashleigh and Maya, and James and Alfie
0:34:25 > 0:34:27have all made it into the Dog House.
0:34:27 > 0:34:31They'll receive two days of intense expert dog training from Zak,
0:34:31 > 0:34:34followed by three weeks of practice
0:34:34 > 0:34:38before going head-to-head in the maths challenge.
0:34:38 > 0:34:42The winner will take home the Who Let The Dogs Out Top Dog Trophy.
0:34:46 > 0:34:49# Who let the dogs out? #
0:34:53 > 0:34:55Training Day One at the Dog House.
0:34:55 > 0:34:58James, Ashleigh and Zoe are about to find out
0:34:58 > 0:34:59what trick they'll learn.
0:34:59 > 0:35:03- Hey, guys, how we doing? - Good, thank you.
0:35:03 > 0:35:06- Are you excited to be here at the Dog House?- ALL: Yes.
0:35:06 > 0:35:11You, trainers, are going to be teaching your dogs how to do maths.
0:35:11 > 0:35:14Zoe, Ashleigh, you've started teaching this a little bit
0:35:14 > 0:35:18but we're going to make it amazing. Are you ready to get into it?
0:35:18 > 0:35:21- ALL: Yeah.- Do you have your currency? Do you know what I mean?
0:35:21 > 0:35:24- Is it their favourite treat? - Exactly.
0:35:24 > 0:35:28It's their form of money. Something you can reward with while teaching.
0:35:28 > 0:35:31Remember, we're not actually teaching our dogs how to do maths.
0:35:31 > 0:35:34This is a trick. But, by the end of training,
0:35:34 > 0:35:37it'll actually look like they're doing maths.
0:35:37 > 0:35:39So, I'd like to come by one-by-one
0:35:39 > 0:35:43and have your dogs speak on command, as in bark.
0:35:43 > 0:35:47Does your dog know how to speak on command? I thought so. Let's see.
0:35:47 > 0:35:52- Sit. Speak.- Woof!- Good girl. - Very good. Excellent job.
0:35:52 > 0:35:55Let's see Maya speak on command.
0:35:55 > 0:35:58- Woof!- Good girl.- Nice work. OK.
0:35:58 > 0:36:00What about you, James and Alfie?
0:36:00 > 0:36:03- Does Alfie know how to bark on command?- No.
0:36:03 > 0:36:04- Try it.- Alfie, sit.
0:36:04 > 0:36:07Speak. Speak. No, down, down.
0:36:07 > 0:36:09ALFIE WHINES
0:36:09 > 0:36:11Even though it's not what you're going for,
0:36:11 > 0:36:15do you hear that vocal sound that your dog is making?
0:36:15 > 0:36:17That is something we should encourage.
0:36:17 > 0:36:20If you were using a clicker, you could reward there.
0:36:20 > 0:36:24- So, do it again and this time click. - Alfie, speak.- Woof!
0:36:25 > 0:36:30Cool! We want to end up having our dog speak when we say,
0:36:30 > 0:36:33"Hey, what's 3 + 2?" And we want them to bark five times, right?
0:36:33 > 0:36:36- Yes.- So, here's what I want you guys to do.
0:36:36 > 0:36:41What I want you to work on, is two speaks with the one request.
0:36:41 > 0:36:45- So say speak and wait for her to bark twice. She will.- Speak.
0:36:45 > 0:36:47Wait.
0:36:47 > 0:36:51- Woof!- That's it. Excellent job. Give me the four, please.
0:36:51 > 0:36:56- Speak.- Woof! Woof! Woof! Woof! - Clever girl!- Yes, that's it.
0:36:56 > 0:36:59Zoe has been training Molly for a year and a half
0:36:59 > 0:37:03and she says it was easy to teach Molly to bark on command.
0:37:03 > 0:37:06So, surely they'll have no problems with the maths trick.
0:37:06 > 0:37:11Someone's being noisy. I'd like you to have Maya bark four times.
0:37:11 > 0:37:12Take your time.
0:37:12 > 0:37:15Woof! Woof! Woof! Woof!
0:37:15 > 0:37:18- Good girl!- Yes, that was it right there. Beautiful.
0:37:18 > 0:37:19As we saw in the try-outs,
0:37:19 > 0:37:22Ashleigh and Maya have started learning the maths trick
0:37:22 > 0:37:25but Ashleigh does not enjoy the subject at school,
0:37:25 > 0:37:30so will she struggle to teach Maya to bark the correct amount of times?
0:37:30 > 0:37:31I want you to see
0:37:31 > 0:37:35if you can get Alfie to bark three times with the one request, OK?
0:37:35 > 0:37:38James hasn't got Alfie to bark more than once before.
0:37:38 > 0:37:40James has taught Alfie much,
0:37:40 > 0:37:43but will he be able to add maths to the tricks he knows?
0:37:43 > 0:37:46- Speak.- Woof!
0:37:46 > 0:37:49That's only one bark for James and Alfie, at the moment.
0:37:49 > 0:37:52Keep working on it. Looking really, really good, guys.
0:37:52 > 0:37:54Take a break, for a second.
0:37:58 > 0:38:01# Who let the dogs out? Woof-woof! #
0:38:02 > 0:38:04Teaching dogs maths
0:38:04 > 0:38:07really proves they can speak more than one language.
0:38:07 > 0:38:10I mean, they can speak dog, they can speak human...
0:38:10 > 0:38:14I wonder if they can speak cat. Let's find out.
0:38:18 > 0:38:22Cats and dogs - vicious enemies since time began.
0:38:23 > 0:38:25Oh! She's gone for him!
0:38:27 > 0:38:29She's got him on the ropes.
0:38:30 > 0:38:32Like always, size wins through.
0:38:32 > 0:38:36The cats are going to have to come up with something a bit special.
0:38:37 > 0:38:42And here's what they've come up with. Let's see it in action.
0:38:42 > 0:38:44There's a punch. Beautiful.
0:38:44 > 0:38:46He's going in again. Kapaow!
0:38:46 > 0:38:48And the dog gives up.
0:38:48 > 0:38:52And after that defeat, all the dogs can do now is show off.
0:38:52 > 0:38:55"There! Huh? Look, can you do this, eh?
0:38:55 > 0:38:58"And what about this funny waving-up-and-down thing
0:38:58 > 0:39:01"I can do with my paws. Get a load of that."
0:39:01 > 0:39:05Still, there are plenty of other animals a dog can take on.
0:39:05 > 0:39:07Surely a dog can beat a goat?
0:39:09 > 0:39:11Oh, it can't.
0:39:13 > 0:39:18What about a bee? "Come on, bee! Put 'em up, bee!
0:39:18 > 0:39:20"Oh, no. Run away, run away!"
0:39:20 > 0:39:26Man's best friend is his dog, but a dog's best friend is his hamster.
0:39:26 > 0:39:30Dogs are descended from wolves. They can be hunters, fighters.
0:39:30 > 0:39:34They're ready to...push a pram with a cat in it...
0:39:34 > 0:39:36or even another dog, er...
0:39:36 > 0:39:41Always look left before crossing. No, left! I said left!
0:39:43 > 0:39:49And this is what you call, "horse-jumping", is it, Spot?
0:39:49 > 0:39:51And finally,
0:39:51 > 0:39:55welcome to the latest new cute doggy home for newborn chicks.
0:39:55 > 0:40:00Yes, it comes with its own slide and its own supply of food - fleas.
0:40:00 > 0:40:01Yum, yum!
0:40:02 > 0:40:06Still to come, we've got rat-catching sniffer dogs,
0:40:06 > 0:40:08Zak's quick trick
0:40:08 > 0:40:12and we'll find out who wins the Who Let The Dogs Out Top Dog Trophy.
0:40:12 > 0:40:16# Who let the dogs out? Woof-woof-woof-woof!
0:40:16 > 0:40:19# Who let the dogs out? #
0:40:19 > 0:40:22Ashleigh, you've had some success here teaching Maya.
0:40:22 > 0:40:25- Would you demonstrate that for me, right now?- Yeah.
0:40:25 > 0:40:31- Maya, what's 3 + 3?- Woof! Woof! Woof! Woof! Woof! Woof!
0:40:31 > 0:40:33- Good girl.- Very nice.
0:40:33 > 0:40:36Her cue to stop barking was simply moving the treat down
0:40:36 > 0:40:39and that's how the trick is done.
0:40:39 > 0:40:42Time for Zoe and Molly to have a go at maths.
0:40:42 > 0:40:44I want to ask your dog what 8 - 4 is
0:40:44 > 0:40:46and let's see if we can get four barks.
0:40:46 > 0:40:47I want you to try
0:40:47 > 0:40:51and get about a half a second delay before you drop that treat.
0:40:51 > 0:40:55- 8 - 4?- Woof! Woof!
0:40:55 > 0:40:57- Woof! Woof!- Yes, now.
0:40:57 > 0:41:00Right there. Good! We've got competition right here.
0:41:00 > 0:41:04Amazing! Zoe and Molly made the maths trick look easy.
0:41:04 > 0:41:08- Speak. Speak.- Wait, don't repeat yourself. Let him think.
0:41:08 > 0:41:10Things aren't going well for James.
0:41:10 > 0:41:14He's still trying to get Alfie to bark multiple times on one command.
0:41:14 > 0:41:18Avoid saying, "Speak, speak, speak." Let it happen.
0:41:18 > 0:41:22Your dog can read your eyes, just like we can read theirs.
0:41:22 > 0:41:26You don't need to shout commands for them to understand them.
0:41:26 > 0:41:28But Alfie's just not doing it.
0:41:28 > 0:41:30What we're working up to, ultimately,
0:41:30 > 0:41:32is for you to be able to say something like,
0:41:32 > 0:41:36"Hey, Maya, what's 3 + 3?" And Maya barks six times.
0:41:36 > 0:41:38And, instead of this.
0:41:38 > 0:41:40Let's see that again.
0:41:40 > 0:41:44Zak was doing a very big signal with his arm to stop a dog barking.
0:41:44 > 0:41:49You're going to try and do something like this. What did I do?
0:41:49 > 0:41:54- Did you tap your feet? - I moved my knee. Close enough.
0:41:54 > 0:41:58Zak is looking for any subtle signal, like moving a knee,
0:41:58 > 0:42:02to tell the dog to stop barking and wait for the treat.
0:42:02 > 0:42:06I'm going to let you determine what you want the signal to be.
0:42:06 > 0:42:08- Do you feel good about training, so far?- ALL: Yes.
0:42:08 > 0:42:11Can you pull this trick off with subtlety?
0:42:11 > 0:42:15- ALL: Yes.- Very good. - That's right, Zak, at Show Time,
0:42:15 > 0:42:18if their signal to stop their dog is too obvious,
0:42:18 > 0:42:20their answer won't count.
0:42:20 > 0:42:23I'm going to let you practise for the rest of the day.
0:42:23 > 0:42:28Enjoy, and I'll see you guys tomorrow.
0:42:28 > 0:42:29While they're practising,
0:42:29 > 0:42:31let's find out how different these dogs are.
0:42:31 > 0:42:33Let's look at their mutt measurements.
0:42:33 > 0:42:36# Who let the dogs out?
0:42:36 > 0:42:38Molly's a German shepherd crossed with a beagle.
0:42:38 > 0:42:42Molly has two favourite hobbies - going for walkies and playing.
0:42:42 > 0:42:46Zoe describes Molly as the most affectionate dog in the world.
0:42:46 > 0:42:50Beagle are determined and German shepherds have loud barks
0:42:50 > 0:42:53so Zoe should be able to teach Molly maths, easily.
0:42:53 > 0:42:57Although we might have to cover our ears when she barks the answers.
0:42:57 > 0:43:01Maya is a Rottweiler - they're from Germany.
0:43:01 > 0:43:03They're gentle and they love people.
0:43:03 > 0:43:09Maya loves one major thing in life, though, giving people cuddles.
0:43:09 > 0:43:13Rottweilers are easily trained, so Maya should find maths no problem.
0:43:13 > 0:43:17However, Ashleigh needs a calculator for her maths homework
0:43:17 > 0:43:22so will Ash be able to teach Maya the correct sums? Hmm.
0:43:22 > 0:43:24Alfie is a border terrier.
0:43:24 > 0:43:26They're from the borders of Scotland and England
0:43:26 > 0:43:29and they've been around since the 1700s
0:43:29 > 0:43:33so they are older than your great-great-great-great-granny.
0:43:33 > 0:43:37Alfie's favourite pastime is to dance around the house with James,
0:43:37 > 0:43:39listening to Michael Jackson.
0:43:39 > 0:43:42They've even learned the Thriller dance together.
0:43:42 > 0:43:45So will Alfie be interested in listening to James
0:43:45 > 0:43:46in order to learn maths,
0:43:46 > 0:43:50or will he prefer to do what HE wants to do?
0:43:54 > 0:43:55Woof!
0:43:55 > 0:43:57- Good boy.- Good girl.
0:43:57 > 0:43:59Let's start with you, Zoe with Molly.
0:43:59 > 0:44:02Training's been going very well with Molly.
0:44:02 > 0:44:05Well, you had pretty tremendous progress from yesterday too.
0:44:05 > 0:44:08You had to say, "Speak, speak," each time.
0:44:08 > 0:44:11Then I think you were able to get her up to four barks?
0:44:11 > 0:44:14- Yes, that's right.- How many barks have you got up to?- 20.
0:44:14 > 0:44:17- 20?!- Yep.
0:44:17 > 0:44:19- Speak.- 20 barks - unbelievable!
0:44:19 > 0:44:22Zoe and Molly can start long multiplication now!
0:44:22 > 0:44:26- Woof-woof-woof!- Good girl.
0:44:26 > 0:44:28OK, Molly. 5 - 1.
0:44:28 > 0:44:30Woof-woof. Woof-woof.
0:44:30 > 0:44:34Oh! Zoe is lowering her hand quite obviously.
0:44:34 > 0:44:36Ashleigh and Maya, how about you guys?
0:44:36 > 0:44:37Training's been going quite well,
0:44:37 > 0:44:40but I've been working so much on the subtlety
0:44:40 > 0:44:43that I think I'm getting the answers wrong myself,
0:44:43 > 0:44:45so I'm not paying attention to her barking.
0:44:47 > 0:44:49- 1 + 2.- Woof-woof!
0:44:49 > 0:44:51Woof-woof!
0:44:51 > 0:44:55- Oh!- Oh, Ashleigh! What, do you need a calculator?
0:44:55 > 0:44:59- What is your subtle cue with the lead?- Erm...
0:44:59 > 0:45:01it's to like...wrap it round my hand
0:45:01 > 0:45:03and then just sort of tug on it,
0:45:03 > 0:45:05so that her collar moves and she stops.
0:45:05 > 0:45:07Very smart.
0:45:07 > 0:45:11- James and Alfie, good hair day today, huh?- Yeah.
0:45:11 > 0:45:12So how's it going with Alfie?
0:45:12 > 0:45:15He's done all right. He's being good.
0:45:15 > 0:45:19Alfie has finally learned to bark multiple times on command.
0:45:19 > 0:45:22- Speak.- Woof-woof-woof!
0:45:22 > 0:45:25Good boy.
0:45:25 > 0:45:27But they haven't worked on their signals or sums yet,
0:45:27 > 0:45:29so they're behind the girls.
0:45:29 > 0:45:32- I want you to continue to work with him.- Yeah.
0:45:32 > 0:45:34- Are you ready to start practising? - ALL: Yes.- Very good.
0:45:34 > 0:45:38Zak is going to give each team a maths test.
0:45:38 > 0:45:40First up, Zoe and Molly.
0:45:40 > 0:45:42Please ask her 4 + 4, please.
0:45:42 > 0:45:44Molly, sit. 4 + 4.
0:45:44 > 0:45:48Woof-woof-woof-woof!
0:45:48 > 0:45:50Woof-woof-woof-woof!
0:45:50 > 0:45:52- Clever girl!- Pretty good.
0:45:52 > 0:45:57Your signal coming down here - not extremely subtle to the trained eye,
0:45:57 > 0:46:01but for 24 hours, we're talking about a dramatic improvement.
0:46:01 > 0:46:03Tremendous progress.
0:46:03 > 0:46:07If they can sort out their signals, they could win at Show Time.
0:46:07 > 0:46:10Ashleigh, have Maya do 2 x 2, please.
0:46:10 > 0:46:14- 2 x 2.- Woof! Woof! Woof! Woof!
0:46:14 > 0:46:16Good girl.
0:46:16 > 0:46:20Finally, they got their maths right, but how was their signalling?
0:46:20 > 0:46:24And I'll bet you could even get that minimal tension on the leash
0:46:24 > 0:46:26reduced even further. Very impressive.
0:46:26 > 0:46:31- So what maths problem would you like to do?- 5 + 1.- 5 and 1?
0:46:31 > 0:46:33- Yeah.- OK, go ahead, ask him.
0:46:33 > 0:46:35- 5 + 1.- Be patient.
0:46:35 > 0:46:36Go on.
0:46:36 > 0:46:38Woof-woof!
0:46:38 > 0:46:41Go on, Alfie, go on... You can do it.
0:46:41 > 0:46:43ALFIE GROWLS
0:46:43 > 0:46:44Woof-woof!
0:46:44 > 0:46:45Woof-woof!
0:46:45 > 0:46:48- Good boy. - Very good, very good, Excellent.
0:46:48 > 0:46:50Yes! Finally, at the end of training,
0:46:50 > 0:46:53all three dogs can do the maths trick.
0:46:53 > 0:46:56We now have some serious competition for Show Time.
0:46:56 > 0:46:59Guys, you have three weeks to do this with your dogs
0:46:59 > 0:47:01and then I'll see you at the Dog House.
0:47:01 > 0:47:04You're going to be given a maths sum
0:47:04 > 0:47:06and they'll need to bark that number of times.
0:47:06 > 0:47:09What we're looking for is a subtle signal
0:47:09 > 0:47:11to get your dog to start barking and stop barking.
0:47:11 > 0:47:14That signal is up to you.
0:47:14 > 0:47:17You also need to make sure that you have a three-second delay
0:47:17 > 0:47:22between the time they stop barking and you rewarding them.
0:47:22 > 0:47:24- Does that make sense? - ALL: Yes.
0:47:24 > 0:47:26You've got three weeks to practise
0:47:26 > 0:47:28and then you'll come back here to the Dog House
0:47:28 > 0:47:32and we'll see who'll take home the Top Dog Trophy. Right, guys, bye.
0:47:32 > 0:47:34ALL: Bye!
0:47:34 > 0:47:36- Woof-woof!- Good girl.
0:47:36 > 0:47:37I want these trainers
0:47:37 > 0:47:41to push the limits of communication with their dogs.
0:47:41 > 0:47:44Dogs are smart and will notice the smallest flinch.
0:47:44 > 0:47:48# Who let the dogs out? Woof-woof-woof-woof! #
0:47:48 > 0:47:50Here are Zak's five tips for teaching your dog maths.
0:47:50 > 0:47:54Get your dog to bark on command.
0:47:54 > 0:47:59Then, get them to bark multiple times on the same command.
0:47:59 > 0:48:01Introduce a maths question
0:48:01 > 0:48:05and use a signal to start and stop your dog from barking.
0:48:05 > 0:48:10Try and make the signal as subtle as you can.
0:48:10 > 0:48:15Practise aplenty and your dog will be a maths genius in no time!
0:48:15 > 0:48:17# Who let the dogs out? #
0:48:19 > 0:48:20Today I'm going to show you
0:48:20 > 0:48:24how to teach your dog to let go of anything when you ask them to.
0:48:24 > 0:48:26Whether it's a toy, maybe it's a stick.
0:48:26 > 0:48:30For this I'll need a tug toy and some food. Come here, Nelly.
0:48:30 > 0:48:33Good girl, come here. Get it, get it, get it.
0:48:33 > 0:48:34Tug-of-war can be
0:48:34 > 0:48:37one of the most powerful currencies in the world for your dog.
0:48:37 > 0:48:40Playing with them like this can be their ultimate reward.
0:48:40 > 0:48:43And when you know your dog's ultimate reward,
0:48:43 > 0:48:44you can teach them anything.
0:48:44 > 0:48:46But if you're going to teach tug-of-war,
0:48:46 > 0:48:49they have to know how to let go instantly.
0:48:49 > 0:48:51It should look like this...
0:48:51 > 0:48:52Let go.
0:48:52 > 0:48:54Yes!
0:48:54 > 0:48:57And then follow it up with the reward again - tug-of-war.
0:48:57 > 0:49:00Another way to teach your dog to let go of an object
0:49:00 > 0:49:02is to put a treat at their nose.
0:49:02 > 0:49:04Now, you can use whatever word you like.
0:49:04 > 0:49:08You could say, "Let go", Nelly was really fond of the word "give".
0:49:08 > 0:49:10Let's see what happens. Give.
0:49:10 > 0:49:12I'd say "give" when she lets go,
0:49:12 > 0:49:14in order to let her know that I like that behaviour.
0:49:14 > 0:49:17Now you could use the clicker with this,
0:49:17 > 0:49:18but if you can't use the clicker,
0:49:18 > 0:49:21just let your dog know that they've done the right thing.
0:49:21 > 0:49:22Give. Perfect.
0:49:22 > 0:49:24That's wonderful. Good job.
0:49:24 > 0:49:29# Who let the dogs out? Woof-woof-woof-woof! #
0:49:29 > 0:49:32A dog's sense of smell is about 50 times better than ours.
0:49:32 > 0:49:36In fact, some dogs can smell things from three miles away.
0:49:36 > 0:49:40Let's see some of those incredible noses in action.
0:49:42 > 0:49:46This is Charlie, London's only rat-catching dog.
0:49:46 > 0:49:48Charlie loves nothing better
0:49:48 > 0:49:51than sniffing out his ratty enemies in their secret hide-outs.
0:49:51 > 0:49:57A pair of rats can produce an extended family of 200 in a year,
0:49:57 > 0:49:59so it's time for Charlie to get to work.
0:49:59 > 0:50:02"In here, boss!"
0:50:02 > 0:50:05For years, Charlie has been the secret weapon
0:50:05 > 0:50:07of this pest control team.
0:50:07 > 0:50:08"Oi, under here!"
0:50:08 > 0:50:11Traps and poison may fail to catch those rats,
0:50:11 > 0:50:14but Charlie certainly won't.
0:50:14 > 0:50:17He's tracked down hundreds of them and he's very keen.
0:50:17 > 0:50:20That's another successful mission for rat-catcher Charlie,
0:50:20 > 0:50:22and there's no time to waste.
0:50:22 > 0:50:24A super-sniffer's job is never done,
0:50:24 > 0:50:28so off he goes to battle with more ratty rodents.
0:50:32 > 0:50:34That is a bumblebee...
0:50:34 > 0:50:36and that is Toby,
0:50:36 > 0:50:40the world's only bumblebee sniffer dog - yeah!
0:50:40 > 0:50:44Toby's mission is to find bumblebee nests
0:50:44 > 0:50:47that are hidden underground, or in thick grass,
0:50:47 > 0:50:49helping scientists to investigate
0:50:49 > 0:50:51why bumblebee numbers are dwindling
0:50:51 > 0:50:53and solve the problem.
0:50:53 > 0:50:54Yeah, Toby the hero!
0:50:54 > 0:50:57Toby has sniffed out more than 80 nests
0:50:57 > 0:51:01and all he wants in exchange is his favourite ball.
0:51:01 > 0:51:04# Who let the dogs out? Woof-woof-woof-woof! #
0:51:06 > 0:51:09Three weeks of hardcore training ends now.
0:51:09 > 0:51:16This is the biggest challenge Molly, Maya and Alfie have ever faced.
0:51:16 > 0:51:19There can only be one winner.
0:51:21 > 0:51:26When we last saw Zoe and Molly, they were completing each maths question.
0:51:26 > 0:51:28At home, they've been making their signal more subtle.
0:51:28 > 0:51:32Zoe lowers a hand when Molly's barked the right number of times.
0:51:32 > 0:51:35They've also been working on Molly waiting three seconds
0:51:35 > 0:51:36before she gets the treat.
0:51:36 > 0:51:38She's been doing very well.
0:51:38 > 0:51:41She's come so far and I'm really proud of her.
0:51:41 > 0:51:44Ashleigh and Maya have been practising hard.
0:51:44 > 0:51:47Ashleigh has been their main problem,
0:51:47 > 0:51:50losing concentration and forgetting her maths.
0:51:50 > 0:51:52He's getting good at doing different sums,
0:51:52 > 0:51:55but I think I need to work on my maths too
0:51:55 > 0:51:57because I sometimes get it wrong.
0:51:57 > 0:52:00Riskily, they've changed the bark-stopping signal
0:52:00 > 0:52:02from a lead-pull to a twitch of the hand.
0:52:02 > 0:52:05Will this affect them at Show Time?
0:52:05 > 0:52:09When we first saw James, Alfie couldn't even bark on command.
0:52:09 > 0:52:12It took a lot of time for James to teach Alfie the trick.
0:52:12 > 0:52:14They had the furthest to come,
0:52:14 > 0:52:16but they've been doing amazingly at home.
0:52:16 > 0:52:18Good boy!
0:52:18 > 0:52:23He has taught Alfie the trick using his little finger as the signal.
0:52:23 > 0:52:28If he keeps barking after the sum, you tell him to stop.
0:52:28 > 0:52:29Good boy.
0:52:31 > 0:52:34He's been doing all right. Very good.
0:52:34 > 0:52:37Today is the big day - it's Show Time.
0:52:39 > 0:52:43Who has learned to do maths?
0:52:43 > 0:52:47Who will get the most correct?
0:52:47 > 0:52:51And who will walk away with the Who Let The Dogs Out Top Dog Trophy?
0:52:51 > 0:52:55# Who let the dogs out? Woof-woof-woof-woof! #
0:52:55 > 0:52:56It's Show Time at the Dog House
0:52:56 > 0:52:58and if the trainers have not achieved
0:52:58 > 0:53:01exceptional communication with their dogs,
0:53:01 > 0:53:02they could have a tough time today.
0:53:02 > 0:53:06I'm going to be giving the trainers three different sums
0:53:06 > 0:53:09and their dogs will hopefully bark the correct answer.
0:53:09 > 0:53:11But remember, this is just a trick.
0:53:11 > 0:53:12The trainers are actually going to be
0:53:12 > 0:53:15communicating with to their dogs to stop barking
0:53:15 > 0:53:17with a very subtle signal,
0:53:17 > 0:53:20and I'm going to be looking very hard for that.
0:53:20 > 0:53:22The dog who gets the most sums correct,
0:53:22 > 0:53:25and understands the most subtle signal,
0:53:25 > 0:53:28will win the Who Let the Dogs Out Top Dog Trophy.
0:53:28 > 0:53:30# Who let the dogs out? Woof-woof-woof-woof! #
0:53:30 > 0:53:34Remember, Zak wants a three-second delay after the subtle signal
0:53:34 > 0:53:39before the trainer gives their dog a treat, or the answer will not count.
0:53:39 > 0:53:43Zoe and Molly, your first sum...
0:53:44 > 0:53:49- 4 + 3.- Woof-woof! Woof-woof!
0:53:49 > 0:53:51Woof!
0:53:51 > 0:53:52Woof-woof!
0:53:52 > 0:53:54Oh, no!
0:53:54 > 0:53:55The maths was perfect,
0:53:55 > 0:53:58but Zoe didn't wait three seconds to give Molly the treat,
0:53:58 > 0:54:00so that won't count.
0:54:02 > 0:54:04Ashleigh and Maya, your first sum is...
0:54:06 > 0:54:09- 5 + 2.- Woof-woof-woof!
0:54:09 > 0:54:12Woof-woof! Woof-woof!
0:54:12 > 0:54:14The twitch of the treat, the three-second wait.
0:54:14 > 0:54:17That's one point for Ashleigh.
0:54:17 > 0:54:18Phenomenal, very good job.
0:54:18 > 0:54:24James and Alfie, your first sum is 10 - 3.
0:54:24 > 0:54:25- 10 - 3.- Woof! Woof!
0:54:25 > 0:54:28Woof-woof!
0:54:28 > 0:54:30Woof!
0:54:33 > 0:54:34Woof-woof!
0:54:36 > 0:54:37Amazing!
0:54:37 > 0:54:40He used his little finger as the subtle signal
0:54:40 > 0:54:44AND Alfie waited for the treat. One point for James.
0:54:44 > 0:54:47Your next sum is...
0:54:48 > 0:54:51- 5 - 1.- Woof-woof! Woof-woof!
0:54:51 > 0:54:55Oh, that was too quick with the treat. It's happened again.
0:54:55 > 0:54:57Disaster for Zoe and Molly.
0:54:57 > 0:55:00The maths was correct, but there was no three-second wait.
0:55:00 > 0:55:04Ashleigh, your next sum is 2 x 2.
0:55:04 > 0:55:08- 2 x 2.- Woof-woof-woof! Woof!
0:55:11 > 0:55:12Good girl.
0:55:12 > 0:55:16Ooh, Maya nearly did an extra bark there. That was close.
0:55:16 > 0:55:18But another point for Ashleigh.
0:55:18 > 0:55:19Your next sum is 2 + 2.
0:55:19 > 0:55:22- Alfie, 2 + 2.- Woof!
0:55:22 > 0:55:24ALFIE GROWLS
0:55:25 > 0:55:26Woof!
0:55:30 > 0:55:32Woof!
0:55:34 > 0:55:35Woof!
0:55:35 > 0:55:39Amazing for James and Alfie. Huge progress, and another point.
0:55:39 > 0:55:42He's tying on two points, with Ashleigh.
0:55:43 > 0:55:47Zoe and Molly, your last sum is...
0:55:48 > 0:55:53- 2 x 3.- Woof-woof! Woof-woof!
0:55:53 > 0:55:55Woof-woof-woof!
0:55:55 > 0:55:57That was incorrect.
0:55:57 > 0:56:00The answer was six and there were seven barks.
0:56:00 > 0:56:03Zoe and Molly will not be Top Dog today.
0:56:03 > 0:56:08Ashleigh, your last sum is 9 - 3.
0:56:08 > 0:56:099 - 3.
0:56:09 > 0:56:12Woof-woof-woof!
0:56:12 > 0:56:14Woof!
0:56:14 > 0:56:16Woof! Woof!
0:56:16 > 0:56:17Perfect!
0:56:17 > 0:56:20That puts Ashleigh and Maya on three points.
0:56:20 > 0:56:22Excellent job.
0:56:22 > 0:56:26James and Alfie have gone from training zeros to maths heroes.
0:56:26 > 0:56:29Will they get the final sum right
0:56:29 > 0:56:32and keep their hopes of winning the Top Dog Trophy alive?
0:56:32 > 0:56:33It's time to find out.
0:56:36 > 0:56:38Finally, your last sum
0:56:38 > 0:56:40is 3 x 2.
0:56:42 > 0:56:43Alfie, 3 x 2.
0:56:43 > 0:56:46Woof-woof! Woof!
0:56:47 > 0:56:50Woof-woof! Woof!
0:56:50 > 0:56:52Woof!
0:56:52 > 0:56:54Oh! That was seven barks - one too many.
0:56:54 > 0:56:57James was slightly too late with his signal,
0:56:57 > 0:56:59but he's still praising Alfie.
0:56:59 > 0:57:02That's good dog training.
0:57:02 > 0:57:05# Who let the dogs out? Woof-woof-woof-woof! #
0:57:06 > 0:57:09I was so impressed by all of you.
0:57:09 > 0:57:10You did an incredible job today.
0:57:10 > 0:57:13Guys, I've tallied up the scores, I can now reveal
0:57:13 > 0:57:19that the winner of today's Who Let The Dogs Out Top Dog Trophy is...
0:57:20 > 0:57:24Ashleigh and Maya. Congratulations!
0:57:24 > 0:57:27- Thank you!- Fantastic work!
0:57:27 > 0:57:28So tell me how you feel about it.
0:57:28 > 0:57:31Erm, I'm really, really happy,
0:57:31 > 0:57:35because I think Maya's made really good progress from when she started.
0:57:35 > 0:57:38That's fantastic. Very good job, guys.
0:57:38 > 0:57:40That's all for today from the Dog House,
0:57:40 > 0:57:42we'll see you next time on Who Let the Dogs Out?
0:57:45 > 0:57:48I'm just so proud of being here,
0:57:48 > 0:57:51and of Molly, and of Ashleigh for winning.
