0:00:38 > 0:00:42# Who let the dogs out? #
0:00:42 > 0:00:45Today, on Who Let The Dogs Out?, we're going to see acrobatic dogs,
0:00:45 > 0:00:47breakdancing dogs,
0:00:47 > 0:00:49independent dogs,
0:00:49 > 0:00:52and three dogs will learn an amazing new skill.
0:00:54 > 0:00:58Today, three dogs are going to learn to be goalkeepers,
0:00:58 > 0:01:02and I've set up a really cool challenge for them.
0:01:02 > 0:01:04The dogs are going to take turns to save penalties.
0:01:04 > 0:01:07Each dog must learn to stay between the goalposts
0:01:07 > 0:01:09while penalties are shot at them,
0:01:09 > 0:01:11and they're going to have to learn to save the balls.
0:01:11 > 0:01:14At Showtime, the dog who saves the most balls will win.
0:01:14 > 0:01:16# Who let the dogs out? #
0:01:16 > 0:01:18Now, for goalkeeping,
0:01:18 > 0:01:21I need three play-motivated dogs.
0:01:21 > 0:01:24That means dogs that love to play.
0:01:24 > 0:01:26The more they love that football,
0:01:26 > 0:01:28the better goalkeeper they'll be.
0:01:28 > 0:01:31And that's what I was looking for at the try-outs.
0:01:36 > 0:01:39Over 400 kids brought their dogs to the try-outs.
0:01:39 > 0:01:42They all hoped Zak would take them to the Doghouse
0:01:42 > 0:01:44to learn an incredible stunt.
0:01:44 > 0:01:45Good, very good.
0:01:45 > 0:01:46He saw jumping dogs...
0:01:46 > 0:01:48That's pretty amazing.
0:01:48 > 0:01:49Spinning dogs...
0:01:49 > 0:01:50Good girl. Sit.
0:01:50 > 0:01:52- Hopping dogs...- Walk. Walk.
0:01:52 > 0:01:54He saw dogs who were a lot of fun...
0:01:54 > 0:01:55Up high!
0:01:55 > 0:01:59- ..and dogs who wanted a number one. - Oops.
0:01:59 > 0:02:00All they could do
0:02:00 > 0:02:03was show Zak their top tricks, in the hope he would pick them
0:02:03 > 0:02:06to come to the Doghouse, where they would find out
0:02:06 > 0:02:08what trick he had chosen for them.
0:02:08 > 0:02:11But Zak only needed three teams for this stunt,
0:02:11 > 0:02:13and competition was fierce. For goalkeeping,
0:02:13 > 0:02:16here are the teams that impressed Zak the most.
0:02:16 > 0:02:19My name is Cody. My dog's name is Bryn,
0:02:19 > 0:02:22and I come from Northern Ireland.
0:02:22 > 0:02:24Tell me why YOU want to go to the Doghouse.
0:02:24 > 0:02:26It'd be a great experience for me and Bryn.
0:02:26 > 0:02:29- OK, show me what he can do. - Bryn, come on.
0:02:29 > 0:02:30Cody's 11, and Bryn is one,
0:02:30 > 0:02:33and they're from Northern Ireland.
0:02:33 > 0:02:35- Will he play with this?- Yep.
0:02:35 > 0:02:36Good catch.
0:02:36 > 0:02:41Cody describes Bryn as awesome, cuddly, and he's also great fun,
0:02:41 > 0:02:43because he plays with Cody with toy footballs.
0:02:43 > 0:02:47I like to see a dog play like that and have a good time. Don't you?
0:02:47 > 0:02:50Cody has tried goalkeeping with Bryn before,
0:02:50 > 0:02:53but he hasn't done it since they had an accident in their back garden.
0:02:53 > 0:02:55He was good at it until he missed,
0:02:55 > 0:02:57and it broke my greenhouse window.
0:02:57 > 0:02:58- Really?- Yes.
0:02:58 > 0:03:02Zak loved how much Bryn enjoyed playing with the ball,
0:03:02 > 0:03:04so he should be great at the goalkeeping trick.
0:03:04 > 0:03:07Well, as long as there are no windows about.
0:03:07 > 0:03:10My name is Caitlin, and my dog's called Mitzy,
0:03:10 > 0:03:12and I'm from Neath.
0:03:12 > 0:03:15- Why do you want to come to the Doghouse?- It's a nice experience
0:03:15 > 0:03:18- for Mitzy to see other dogs. - That's cool.
0:03:18 > 0:03:22Caitlin is nine, and Mitzy is one, and they come from Wales.
0:03:22 > 0:03:23Look at the high-five. Cool.
0:03:23 > 0:03:28Mitzy! Caitlin, her dad and Mitzy are bi-i-ig Manchester United fans.
0:03:28 > 0:03:29Whoa! No way!
0:03:29 > 0:03:33They even bought Mitzy a Man United shirt as a present.
0:03:33 > 0:03:35She controlled that ball, am I right?
0:03:35 > 0:03:38- Yeah.- Caitlin is convinced Mitzy thinks she's a footballer.
0:03:38 > 0:03:41- This is her coolest trick, isn't it? - Yeah.
0:03:41 > 0:03:42I think it's a pretty cool one.
0:03:42 > 0:03:45Look at that! Did you see how she went around the tunnel?
0:03:45 > 0:03:49Zak had never seen a footballing dog quite like Mitzy.
0:03:49 > 0:03:51That dog is better at soccer than me.
0:03:51 > 0:03:53I cannot get this ball. Look.
0:03:53 > 0:03:56But can she swap her dribbling skills for goalkeeping?
0:03:56 > 0:03:58Only time will tell.
0:03:58 > 0:03:59MITZY BARKS
0:03:59 > 0:04:02I could play with this dog for hours. That is so cool!
0:04:02 > 0:04:04I'm Elena,
0:04:04 > 0:04:06and this is Rooster,
0:04:06 > 0:04:09- and we come from London.- Why do you want to go to the Doghouse?
0:04:09 > 0:04:12Rooster really likes showing people his tricks,
0:04:12 > 0:04:15and I think he would really enjoy learning new tricks as well.
0:04:15 > 0:04:16Elena is 11,
0:04:16 > 0:04:18and Rooster is four.
0:04:18 > 0:04:24Rooster is a Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever,
0:04:24 > 0:04:26and Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retrievers
0:04:26 > 0:04:29are a very, very rare breed.
0:04:29 > 0:04:30Eat it!
0:04:30 > 0:04:33One of Rooster's favourite games is hide and seek.
0:04:33 > 0:04:35- I'll distract him with this ball.- OK.
0:04:35 > 0:04:38- Good?- I'm ready.- OK.- Rooster!
0:04:38 > 0:04:40Seek the ball! Seek!
0:04:40 > 0:04:42And Rooster is so well-behaved
0:04:42 > 0:04:46that once he held a sausage in his mouth for a full five minutes
0:04:46 > 0:04:49until Elena's dad gave him permission to eat it.
0:04:49 > 0:04:51Have you seen it? Well done, Rooster!
0:04:51 > 0:04:54Beautiful. That was impressive. It was pretty good.
0:04:54 > 0:04:56Zak loved Rooster's enthusiasm with the ball,
0:04:56 > 0:04:59but how will Rooster handle
0:04:59 > 0:05:01a bigger ball in the goalkeeping trick?
0:05:01 > 0:05:04- Very good. I'm very impressed. - Thank you.
0:05:04 > 0:05:05You're welcome.
0:05:05 > 0:05:09So, Cody and Bryn, Caitlin and Mitzy, and Elena and Rooster
0:05:09 > 0:05:12have all made it into the Doghouse and there,
0:05:12 > 0:05:15they'll receive two days of intense, expert dog training
0:05:15 > 0:05:19from Zak, followed by three weeks of practice at home,
0:05:19 > 0:05:23before going head-to-head in the goal-keeping challenge.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26And the winner will take home this,
0:05:26 > 0:05:29the Who Let The Dogs Out? Top Dog trophy.
0:05:39 > 0:05:41- Hey, guys.- Hi.
0:05:41 > 0:05:43- Good morning.- Good morning!
0:05:43 > 0:05:49Today, you're going to learn how to teach your dog to be goalkeepers.
0:05:49 > 0:05:51- How do you feel about that? - Good, yeah.
0:05:51 > 0:05:53- Ready to get on with it?- Yeah.
0:05:53 > 0:05:56Now I think we're going to need some footballs here. Perfect.
0:05:56 > 0:05:58That's for you.
0:05:58 > 0:06:02That's for you. And that's for you. Great catch.
0:06:02 > 0:06:05Bryn has already started playing with the ball.
0:06:05 > 0:06:07Is this parts of Zak's training plan?
0:06:07 > 0:06:11Believe it or not this is exactly the behaviour I want to see
0:06:11 > 0:06:13out of all of your dogs right now.
0:06:13 > 0:06:16As your energy goes up, their energy goes up.
0:06:16 > 0:06:18I want to see that they love that ball.
0:06:18 > 0:06:21The reason I want to see that they love that ball
0:06:21 > 0:06:24is because that will be their currency today.
0:06:24 > 0:06:27By currency, I mean the thing we're going to use to reward them,
0:06:27 > 0:06:29something they absolutely love.
0:06:31 > 0:06:33We're now going to stay for a period of time.
0:06:33 > 0:06:37Remember, guys, the reason we're teaching our dogs to stay here
0:06:37 > 0:06:40is when they're guarding that goal, they've got to stay at the goal,
0:06:40 > 0:06:44so they're only allowed to go for that ball when you say it's OK.
0:06:44 > 0:06:47I want all of you to work up to a five-second stay
0:06:47 > 0:06:50and then we're going to increase it further.
0:06:52 > 0:06:56Caitlin is starting with a three-second stay with Mitzy.
0:06:56 > 0:06:58Good plan.
0:06:58 > 0:06:59Stay, sit!
0:06:59 > 0:07:01Sit.
0:07:01 > 0:07:03But I mean it's huge energy...
0:07:03 > 0:07:06Elena has no trouble at all getting Rooster interested
0:07:06 > 0:07:09in that ball.
0:07:09 > 0:07:11Hey, what's going on here?
0:07:11 > 0:07:13Bryn has suddenly got bored with the football.
0:07:13 > 0:07:17Two minutes ago it was driving him crazy.
0:07:17 > 0:07:19Be a little more engaging here.
0:07:20 > 0:07:24Bryn, look what I've got. Look what I've got. Sit. Stay.
0:07:24 > 0:07:27One, two, three, four, five.
0:07:27 > 0:07:30Yes. Yes, good job! Bring me that energy.
0:07:30 > 0:07:35- Stay with the hand single. We always give stay with the hand signal.- Stay.
0:07:37 > 0:07:40One, two, three, four, five.
0:07:40 > 0:07:44Go on, yes. Get excited. Exactly, good.
0:07:44 > 0:07:47That was good. You got your five second stay.
0:07:47 > 0:07:48Sit, sit.
0:07:48 > 0:07:51Good, good, good. Lovely, lovely, lovely.
0:07:51 > 0:07:54Oh, nice stay from Elena and Rooster.
0:07:59 > 0:08:00Football is all about practice.
0:08:00 > 0:08:04I just hope the weather holds up so these guys can get some training in.
0:08:04 > 0:08:07But not all dogs are bothered by the weather,
0:08:07 > 0:08:09in fact some positively love it.
0:08:15 > 0:08:18Ah, you know how it is, every time it snows
0:08:18 > 0:08:21you just want to rush out and jump over someone's back.
0:08:22 > 0:08:24Or maybe have a dance.
0:08:28 > 0:08:31Oh, the Cancan! Cool.
0:08:34 > 0:08:38And the... Hey, what is that? Can this dog rewind itself?
0:08:38 > 0:08:42Hold it. Freeze the tape. Right, now rewind the tape.
0:08:42 > 0:08:46It looks like it's going forward. OK, play it normally now.
0:08:46 > 0:08:49No, no, no, it's just too weird.
0:08:50 > 0:08:54Take this glove off now, please. That's it. Now give it back.
0:08:54 > 0:08:55Good girl.
0:08:55 > 0:08:58And there's a dog who thinks he's a rabbit.
0:09:02 > 0:09:07Careful, careful. Just watch out you don't bump into the... camera.
0:09:10 > 0:09:13What's he doing? Oh, breakdancing. Cool.
0:09:19 > 0:09:23Surely there must be an easier way of getting a drink of water.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30Playing in leaves is great fun.
0:09:33 > 0:09:36Hiding in them is even better.
0:09:38 > 0:09:40See? There he is.
0:09:44 > 0:09:49Oh, check out the moonwalk. Now that's a dance. Cool.
0:09:50 > 0:09:52Still to come on Who Let The Dogs Out?:
0:09:52 > 0:09:55we're going to see some very helpful dogs,
0:09:55 > 0:09:56Zak's quick trick
0:09:56 > 0:10:01and we find out who wins the Who Let The Dogs Out? Top Dog trophy.
0:10:05 > 0:10:09All right. All of you looking very, very good here.
0:10:09 > 0:10:12Right now we're going to work on staying for a period of time,
0:10:12 > 0:10:1510 seconds, and distracting our dogs.
0:10:15 > 0:10:17Come here.
0:10:17 > 0:10:22Sit. Yes. Stay. Right here. I'm moving it around. Stay, stay.
0:10:22 > 0:10:26I'm being very clear about my stay, even though I'm playing
0:10:26 > 0:10:30with the ball right here. Good, I was very satisfied with that.
0:10:30 > 0:10:32Now I'm going to give Rooster permission to get the ball.
0:10:32 > 0:10:36Rooster, yes. Get it. Textbook. Absolutely beautiful.
0:10:36 > 0:10:37That was amazing.
0:10:37 > 0:10:38Practice that right now.
0:10:38 > 0:10:43We're looking for a 10-second stay while teasing them with the ball.
0:10:44 > 0:10:49- Looks like Caitlin is enjoying the teasing more than Mitzy.- Stay.
0:10:49 > 0:10:50Sit, sit.
0:10:50 > 0:10:54Uh-oh, Bryn has lost interest again.
0:10:54 > 0:10:57Come on, Cody, you know what to do. Make it fun.
0:10:59 > 0:11:02Rooster and Elena have got it together. Nice work.
0:11:02 > 0:11:06Continue working with your dogs after they've had a nice, long nap,
0:11:06 > 0:11:07if they're up to it.
0:11:07 > 0:11:11And I'm going to see you guys tomorrow but keep up the good work.
0:11:12 > 0:11:15Rooster, Bryn and Mitzy are all very different dogs
0:11:15 > 0:11:19but they all have one thing in common, a strong chase instinct.
0:11:19 > 0:11:21Let's take a look at their mutt measurements.
0:11:25 > 0:11:28Rooster is a Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever.
0:11:28 > 0:11:31They used to be used as hunt dogs.
0:11:31 > 0:11:34Rooster loves to chase rabbits around with Elena's dad.
0:11:34 > 0:11:38Rooster also likes to go surfing. Tollers have webbed feet.
0:11:38 > 0:11:41I wonder if they'll double up as goalkeeping gloves
0:11:41 > 0:11:44when Rooster goes in between the posts?
0:11:44 > 0:11:47Here's Mitzy, the Shih Tzu.
0:11:47 > 0:11:49Shih Tzus are originally from Tibet
0:11:49 > 0:11:53and their name translates as lion dog.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55Mitzy loves to be spoiled by all her family
0:11:55 > 0:11:58and her favourite activity is to play football.
0:11:58 > 0:12:01Shih Tzus have lots of energy and enthusiasm.
0:12:01 > 0:12:03Adding this to her love of football,
0:12:03 > 0:12:06she should take to goalkeeping in no time.
0:12:07 > 0:12:11Bryn is a whippet and they can run at around 35 miles an hour.
0:12:11 > 0:12:13That's fast.
0:12:13 > 0:12:16Bryn has two favourite things in life,
0:12:16 > 0:12:20treats and lying on the sofa, watching telly.
0:12:20 > 0:12:24We know whippets are speedy but will Bryn's reactions to the ball
0:12:24 > 0:12:27be as fast when it comes to Showtime? Let's see.
0:12:34 > 0:12:37- Hey, guys, how we doing?- Good.
0:12:37 > 0:12:40Caitlin, tell me how things have been going with Mitzy.
0:12:40 > 0:12:43- How did practice go?- It went well. She stayed about three seconds.
0:12:43 > 0:12:49- Good. Cody and Bryn. How are things going?- Really well.
0:12:49 > 0:12:53I got him to sit and stay for 15 seconds.
0:12:53 > 0:12:57Keep up the good work. Very proud of you with Bryn, Cody.
0:12:57 > 0:13:00Elena and Rooster. Tell me how training went yesterday.
0:13:00 > 0:13:03Yesterday I got up to letting Rooster
0:13:03 > 0:13:05wait for the ball for 15 seconds with distractions.
0:13:05 > 0:13:07Wonderful, that's fantastic work.
0:13:09 > 0:13:12I'm going to start with Elena and Rooster over here.
0:13:12 > 0:13:15Elena, are you discouraged by anything at all?
0:13:15 > 0:13:17He isn't very interested in the ball sometimes.
0:13:17 > 0:13:19OK, we're going to work on that right now.
0:13:19 > 0:13:21Rooster!
0:13:23 > 0:13:26- Come on, come on. - Wow, what's happened to Zak?
0:13:26 > 0:13:31As ridiculous as I look, where is Rooster's interest right now?
0:13:31 > 0:13:33It's in me, because I'm fun. Get it, get it, get it.
0:13:33 > 0:13:37That's how you get your dog interested in something. Good.
0:13:37 > 0:13:39Let go, please.
0:13:39 > 0:13:43Let go, sit. Yes. Get it. That's the energy you got to get.
0:13:43 > 0:13:47Well, it certainly seemed to work. Rooster's loving that ball now.
0:13:47 > 0:13:50- Stay.- Nice. Look at this.
0:13:52 > 0:13:56- Stay.- Get the ball.- Rooster definitely went for that ball.
0:13:58 > 0:14:00Cody and Bryn. I'm going to hold the lead.
0:14:00 > 0:14:02You focus entirely on your dog, OK?
0:14:04 > 0:14:07- Sit, stay.- Nice stay, I love the way you said it.
0:14:07 > 0:14:11Now kick the ball, try and score a goal, tell him to get that ball.
0:14:11 > 0:14:14- Bryn, go get the ball.- Nice, good. He went for it. That's good.
0:14:14 > 0:14:16Bryn certainly made a move with the ball.
0:14:16 > 0:14:18He'll be goalkeeping in no time.
0:14:18 > 0:14:22- Caitlin and Mitzy, how are we doing?- Good.
0:14:22 > 0:14:26So just get her interested in the ball. That's what I want to do first.
0:14:26 > 0:14:29Very good, move it around a little bit. Get on the ground.
0:14:29 > 0:14:32Good, I like seeing that. Let her play with it.
0:14:32 > 0:14:33Yeah. Yeah.
0:14:33 > 0:14:36Good, good, keep it going. Remember, go over to the goal.
0:14:36 > 0:14:40Make your way over, go and sit over there. Keep it happy. Keep it happy.
0:14:40 > 0:14:43Go, go, go. That's perfect, right there.
0:14:43 > 0:14:45That's a good distance for starting.
0:14:45 > 0:14:48- She saved it. Yes!- Good, good, good. She actually saved the goal.
0:14:48 > 0:14:53Mitzy saved her first goal. Although technically now that's an own goal.
0:14:53 > 0:14:59Wow, Mitzy doesn't need any motivating. But can she do it again?
0:14:59 > 0:15:04Yes! The others had better pull up their football socks now.
0:15:04 > 0:15:07- Tell him to get it when you kick it. - Get it, Rooster.- Saved!
0:15:07 > 0:15:09That's what I like to see.
0:15:13 > 0:15:15- Stay.- Look at him looking at the ball.
0:15:16 > 0:15:19- Saved!- Saved the goal. Nice work!
0:15:21 > 0:15:22No!
0:15:27 > 0:15:30All right, guys. Come on over here.
0:15:30 > 0:15:33When you come back, for Showtime here at the Doghouse,
0:15:33 > 0:15:36you're not going to be the ones kicking the ball.
0:15:36 > 0:15:39You'll be able to stand behind the person kicking the ball and tell them
0:15:39 > 0:15:43- to stay and get the ball but you'll not be doing it. Make sense?- Yeah.- Yeah.
0:15:43 > 0:15:46Right, I want you to take your footballs, your goalposts home.
0:15:46 > 0:15:50Get practising. I'll see you back here in a couple of weeks
0:15:50 > 0:15:53- at the Doghouse, for Showtime. Good luck. Goodbye.- Goodbye.- Bye.
0:15:54 > 0:15:58Caitlin, Cody and Elena did really good today
0:15:58 > 0:16:02but they all needed a lot of help in keeping it interesting for their dog.
0:16:02 > 0:16:05If they do that and keep it fun, I think they'll do really well.
0:16:08 > 0:16:11Here are Zak's five steps to teaching the goalkeeping trick.
0:16:11 > 0:16:14Get your dog interested in playing with the football.
0:16:14 > 0:16:19Make your dog stay for five seconds before receiving the ball.
0:16:19 > 0:16:22Increase this to a 10-second stay with distractions.
0:16:22 > 0:16:26Make your dog stay in the goal and kick the ball towards them.
0:16:26 > 0:16:28Practise, practise, practise,
0:16:28 > 0:16:32and your dog will be a goalkeeping expert in no time.
0:16:32 > 0:16:34Ah, he saved the goal!
0:16:34 > 0:16:37# Who let the dogs out? #
0:16:37 > 0:16:40Working with your dog is fun,
0:16:40 > 0:16:44and you can teach a really cool trick faster than you think.
0:16:44 > 0:16:48We're going to show you how easy it is to teach your dog to speak.
0:16:48 > 0:16:53Come here! Good girl. Very nice. Look what I got!
0:16:53 > 0:16:55There are many ways to teach speak.
0:16:55 > 0:16:57Maybe your dog barks at something randomly.
0:16:57 > 0:17:01You could catch the behaviour, tell them that's speak, and reward it.
0:17:01 > 0:17:03Today, with Nelly, however,
0:17:03 > 0:17:07I'm going to show her that I've got an amazing food reward
0:17:07 > 0:17:11and I'm going to wait it out to see if she barks for it.
0:17:11 > 0:17:13Come on, you can do it. Don't be so polite!
0:17:13 > 0:17:15You can bark, you can tell me.
0:17:15 > 0:17:17NELLY GRUNTS
0:17:17 > 0:17:21Yes, good. She didn't bark there, but she made an effort to do it.
0:17:21 > 0:17:26I'm letting her know that I like that she's on the right track. Nelly.
0:17:26 > 0:17:29SHE BARKS Yeah, that's it! Very good.
0:17:29 > 0:17:32Once you're satisfied your dog is getting the concept,
0:17:32 > 0:17:35then and only then do you ask them to speak.
0:17:35 > 0:17:38Speak. Good! Very good.
0:17:38 > 0:17:41Let's try it again. Speak.
0:17:41 > 0:17:46Wonderful job. And it's that easy to teach your dog to speak.
0:17:46 > 0:17:47Good girl! Very good!
0:17:47 > 0:17:51# Who let the dogs out? #
0:17:51 > 0:17:53The relationship between a person and a dog
0:17:53 > 0:17:57is one of the most rewarding relationships you can have,
0:17:57 > 0:17:59but assistance dogs are extra special.
0:17:59 > 0:18:01Not only do they give companionship,
0:18:01 > 0:18:05but they also give the gift of independence.
0:18:07 > 0:18:09We all know that dogs are good at being cute
0:18:09 > 0:18:13and good at stealing socks and fetching things,
0:18:13 > 0:18:18but if only there was a way we could make their talents more useful.
0:18:18 > 0:18:21Well, there is. These are assistance dogs.
0:18:21 > 0:18:24They start out as really cute puppies and then,
0:18:24 > 0:18:26when they're old enough, they learn some fun games,
0:18:26 > 0:18:31like the opening the drawer game, the fetching the post game
0:18:31 > 0:18:33and the unloading the washing machine game.
0:18:33 > 0:18:35These are good games.
0:18:35 > 0:18:3820 months later, and with a bit more training,
0:18:38 > 0:18:40they become fully-fledged assistance dogs
0:18:40 > 0:18:44for children and adults with various disabilities.
0:18:44 > 0:18:48This is Moss. He's Ian's guide dog.
0:18:48 > 0:18:51Moss can lead Ian safely all the way to work and back,
0:18:51 > 0:18:55negotiating stairs and even a train.
0:18:55 > 0:19:00And here's Yogi and Daniel. Daniel has muscular dystrophy.
0:19:00 > 0:19:03Yogi, pass my torch. Yogi, sock, fetch.
0:19:03 > 0:19:05Yogi helps Daniel with his clothes,
0:19:05 > 0:19:09and even passes on notes to Daniel's mum if he needs her.
0:19:09 > 0:19:13Yogi's not just an assistance dog. He's also Daniel's best friend.
0:19:13 > 0:19:16The other day, I told him how much I loved him.
0:19:18 > 0:19:22He is the best thing that's ever happened in my life.
0:19:22 > 0:19:24# Who let the dogs out? #
0:19:26 > 0:19:29Two weeks have passed
0:19:29 > 0:19:34since Bryn, Mitzy and Rooster first started training.
0:19:34 > 0:19:40This is going to be the most exciting penalty shootout
0:19:40 > 0:19:43in the history of dog football.
0:19:43 > 0:19:47Last time we saw Mitzy, she was saving goals,
0:19:47 > 0:19:51and getting a bit distracted, and saving goals.
0:19:51 > 0:19:54But now, they've been practising for two whole weeks.
0:19:54 > 0:19:56Has Mitzy got better?
0:19:56 > 0:19:58I think she's doing better than she was.
0:19:58 > 0:20:01I'd say that's pretty much the same.
0:20:01 > 0:20:05Elena and Rooster took their home training to the beach,
0:20:05 > 0:20:10with loads of success, but Elena still has some concerns.
0:20:11 > 0:20:14Sometimes, he just was a bit tired,
0:20:14 > 0:20:17especially with all the hot weather, but he's enjoyed it a lot.
0:20:17 > 0:20:22Looks like Rooster's warm fluffy coat could cause a few problems.
0:20:22 > 0:20:26Cody and Bryn were pretty good at goalkeeping when we last saw them,
0:20:26 > 0:20:29and were simply perfecting their technique.
0:20:29 > 0:20:31I've got great hopes. He's improved a lot.
0:20:31 > 0:20:36Constantly, he'll be saving tons of goals.
0:20:36 > 0:20:37Seems like Cody's prepared well for Showtime
0:20:37 > 0:20:40by finding someone else to kick the ball,
0:20:40 > 0:20:44and this canine goalie is showing plenty of interest.
0:20:44 > 0:20:48- A-ha!- Bryn loves playing with the football.
0:20:48 > 0:20:53Today is the big day. It's Showtime.
0:20:56 > 0:20:59Who will be the mystery penalty taker?
0:20:59 > 0:21:02Whose dog will save the most goals?
0:21:02 > 0:21:06And who will win the Top Dog Trophy?
0:21:06 > 0:21:10# Who let the dogs out? #
0:21:10 > 0:21:12It's Showtime for our goalkeepers,
0:21:12 > 0:21:14and have I got a surprise for our trainers!
0:21:14 > 0:21:18- Johny Pitts is here. What's up, Johny?- How are you doing?
0:21:18 > 0:21:22I'm doing well. So you've got a bit of a history in football, right?
0:21:22 > 0:21:23Kind of.
0:21:23 > 0:21:26I trained at Sheffield United Centre Of Excellence when I was 16.
0:21:26 > 0:21:30I was a goalkeeper, but I will know what these dogs will be looking for.
0:21:30 > 0:21:33I'll go top-left for each dog, then bottom-right,
0:21:33 > 0:21:35so I will go the same direction each time.
0:21:35 > 0:21:39I wonder how that'll affect your reputation if they save the goals?
0:21:39 > 0:21:43My mates will watch, so there's pressure on me as well as the kids.
0:21:43 > 0:21:45Go and take your position on the penalty spot.
0:21:45 > 0:21:48For today's challenge,
0:21:48 > 0:21:51Johny will kick three penalty shots with the dogs in goal.
0:21:51 > 0:21:54The dog who saves the most balls will win this -
0:21:54 > 0:21:57the Who Let The Dogs Out? trophy.
0:21:57 > 0:21:59Looks like everyone is ready.
0:21:59 > 0:22:03Johny is on the penalty spot and our trainers are in the dugout.
0:22:04 > 0:22:07First up, Caitlin and Mitzy.
0:22:07 > 0:22:11Now, Mitzy is the shortest of all the dogs,
0:22:11 > 0:22:14so she'll have to leap into action to defend that goal.
0:22:16 > 0:22:19It's a low ball. She can save this one.
0:22:19 > 0:22:21Watch Mitzy leap into action.
0:22:21 > 0:22:24Any second now, she'll leap into action.
0:22:24 > 0:22:25What?!
0:22:25 > 0:22:29That's not leaping into action, Mitzy!
0:22:29 > 0:22:32Caitlin doesn't look happy with that. Johny does, though.
0:22:32 > 0:22:35And so does Mitzy.
0:22:35 > 0:22:38All right. Cody and Bryn, good luck.
0:22:38 > 0:22:40Cody is very confident.
0:22:40 > 0:22:42Bryn saved a lot of goals at home,
0:22:42 > 0:22:45and even saved penalties from Cody's friends.
0:22:45 > 0:22:49But Johny is a total stranger. How will Bryn cope?
0:22:49 > 0:22:53Hey, Bryn, don't lie down!
0:22:53 > 0:22:56Oh, it's OK, he's back up.
0:22:56 > 0:22:57Oh, goal!
0:22:57 > 0:22:58Bryn got to the ball too late.
0:22:58 > 0:23:01Is an experienced footballer simply too fast for Bryn?
0:23:01 > 0:23:04Or is Bryn just warming up?
0:23:05 > 0:23:07Elena and Rooster.
0:23:07 > 0:23:10Here comes Rooster. Yeah!
0:23:10 > 0:23:12Elena's done great work with Rooster,
0:23:12 > 0:23:16but will Rooster be able to save goals at all under that hot sun?
0:23:16 > 0:23:18Tricky.
0:23:18 > 0:23:20- Very nice. Focus, get ready.- Stay.
0:23:20 > 0:23:23Here we go. Nice loud command.
0:23:23 > 0:23:25Yes! He's saved it.
0:23:25 > 0:23:28Or has he? We need to see that again.
0:23:30 > 0:23:35No, Rooster took the ball across the line. It's an own goal.
0:23:35 > 0:23:37So here are the first-round scores.
0:23:37 > 0:23:41Three balls, no saves. Everything to play for.
0:23:41 > 0:23:43Caitlin and Mitzy, good luck.
0:23:43 > 0:23:46In round one, Mitzi didn't move at all.
0:23:46 > 0:23:48Can Caitlin motivate her this time?
0:23:48 > 0:23:50- Stay.- Focus.
0:23:50 > 0:23:52Look at your dog.
0:23:54 > 0:23:55Oh, no, not again, Mitzy!
0:23:55 > 0:23:59She just glanced at the ball and then ran off in the other direction.
0:23:59 > 0:24:02This is not looking good. Get it together, Mitzy!
0:24:02 > 0:24:03Cody and Bryn.
0:24:03 > 0:24:06Cody told us he had great hopes for Bryn.
0:24:06 > 0:24:12Bryn loves the ball, but will he be fast enough for this penalty taker?
0:24:12 > 0:24:16- Good luck, Cody, good luck, Bryn. - Sit. Stay.
0:24:19 > 0:24:23Ooh, it's a high ball, but it's a tall dog. It hits the bar.
0:24:23 > 0:24:25It's not a goal.
0:24:25 > 0:24:29- It is now. - An own goal! Such a good attempt!
0:24:29 > 0:24:31Good effort, Bryn, but it's an own goal.
0:24:31 > 0:24:35- Very good.- But Bryn still gets praise from Cody. What a great team!
0:24:35 > 0:24:39- They could still win this. - Elena and Rooster, your turn.
0:24:39 > 0:24:43Rooster just needs to pull himself together and get behind the ball.
0:24:43 > 0:24:46He'll be loving that cool breeze.
0:24:46 > 0:24:50Let's hope he translates it into cool goalkeeping.
0:24:50 > 0:24:53- Get the ball.- Ooh, he saved it!
0:24:53 > 0:24:56Great speed, great focus, but he's not satisfied.
0:24:56 > 0:25:01- He still wants that ball.- Good dog! - Brilliant save!
0:25:01 > 0:25:03Here's that save again.
0:25:04 > 0:25:09End of round two. Rooster's in the lead, but it's not over yet.
0:25:09 > 0:25:12Mitzy or Bryn could still force a tie.
0:25:12 > 0:25:15Make sure you give Mitzy that enthusiastic "stay."
0:25:15 > 0:25:18Let her know she'll get that ball when you tell her to.
0:25:18 > 0:25:20Mitzy has yet to show interest in that ball.
0:25:20 > 0:25:22She's all stay and no play.
0:25:24 > 0:25:25Mitzy.
0:25:25 > 0:25:28Mitzy!
0:25:28 > 0:25:29She's lifting a paw.
0:25:29 > 0:25:33But it's not going to be enough. No!
0:25:33 > 0:25:35And now she's run off again.
0:25:35 > 0:25:36Oh, Mitzy!
0:25:36 > 0:25:42She has certainly learned stay, but her attention is not on the ball.
0:25:42 > 0:25:46- Really focus here.- Bryn just needs to react faster and stop that ball.
0:25:46 > 0:25:51- Stay.- That was a good strong command. But Bryn's gone down!
0:25:51 > 0:25:56- Bryn, this is not the time for nibbles.- Go on, Bryn! Go get it.
0:25:56 > 0:25:58Good encouragement from Cody.
0:25:59 > 0:26:02But it's not enough.
0:26:02 > 0:26:06- Very good, though.- Come on, Bryn.
0:26:06 > 0:26:11- Little too little too late, but excellent.- Good effort, Bryn.
0:26:11 > 0:26:15Elena and Rooster, go ahead for your final turn.
0:26:15 > 0:26:19Can Rooster save another of Johny's penalties?
0:26:19 > 0:26:24- Sit. Stay.- Payback time! - This time, it's personal.
0:26:28 > 0:26:33Look at that focus. Rooster means business.
0:26:33 > 0:26:35Beautiful!
0:26:35 > 0:26:38Rooster retrieves the ball from harm's way
0:26:38 > 0:26:41like the great Nova Scotia retriever that he is.
0:26:41 > 0:26:44- Good dog! - # Who let the dogs out? #
0:26:47 > 0:26:49Well, guys, that was a great competition.
0:26:49 > 0:26:52Could not be more proud of all of you.
0:26:52 > 0:26:58But at the end of the day, saving two balls was Rooster with Elena,
0:26:58 > 0:27:03and you are our Who Let The Dogs Out? Top Dog champion today.
0:27:03 > 0:27:08Congratulations. Very good. Nice job, Rooster. Tell me how you feel.
0:27:08 > 0:27:11I'm really happy. I'm overjoyed.
0:27:11 > 0:27:14I'm so happy Rooster actually behaved himself,
0:27:14 > 0:27:15and we've come so far.
0:27:15 > 0:27:18Well done. You've all done really well.
0:27:18 > 0:27:21That's all from the Doghouse for today.
0:27:21 > 0:27:25We'll see you all next time on Who Let The Dogs Out? Nice work.
0:27:25 > 0:27:26Very good.
0:27:26 > 0:27:31I'm really proud of Mitzy because she did do the stay,
0:27:31 > 0:27:33so, yeah, I'm really happy.
0:27:33 > 0:27:35Bryn did most things he was told.
0:27:35 > 0:27:37If I trained him for years,
0:27:37 > 0:27:39he could probably be a professional footballer!
0:27:39 > 0:27:43I'm really happy because we trained really hard
0:27:43 > 0:27:46and Rooster really deserved this.
