0:00:58 > 0:01:02# Who let the dogs out? #
0:01:02 > 0:01:05We've decided to make things a little more interesting this year.
0:01:05 > 0:01:07This time on Who Let The Dogs Out?,
0:01:07 > 0:01:09we're only going to have one ultimate top dog trainer
0:01:09 > 0:01:11for the entire series.
0:01:11 > 0:01:14That means these try-outs are going to be even busier,
0:01:14 > 0:01:15even tougher...
0:01:15 > 0:01:17Oh, yeah! He opened it!
0:01:17 > 0:01:18..even stricter...
0:01:18 > 0:01:21Hey, why aren't you listening to me? Stop. Stop!
0:01:21 > 0:01:23..and even weirder.
0:01:27 > 0:01:30Hundreds of kids and their dogs applied to be on
0:01:30 > 0:01:32this series of Who Let The Dogs Out?
0:01:33 > 0:01:36And they have come from all over the UK,
0:01:36 > 0:01:39just to meet Zak George at the try-outs, here in Manchester.
0:01:40 > 0:01:45They all hope that Zak will take them to his big, fancy Dog House.
0:01:45 > 0:01:47It's very exciting, because no-one knows
0:01:47 > 0:01:50what stunts the dogs will be learning this time.
0:01:50 > 0:01:53It could be anything, like recording their own pop song.
0:01:53 > 0:01:54DOG WHINES
0:01:54 > 0:01:58It's going to be tough this time. The stunts are incredibly difficult.
0:01:58 > 0:02:02I need seriously dedicated trainers.
0:02:02 > 0:02:05Sit, lie down, roll over, basic commands -
0:02:05 > 0:02:07they're just not good enough for this competition.
0:02:07 > 0:02:10These trainers are going to have to show me a lot more
0:02:10 > 0:02:12if they want into the Dog House.
0:02:14 > 0:02:17The Dog House is where all the really hardcore training takes place
0:02:17 > 0:02:21and, this time, there will be lots of heats, all leading up
0:02:21 > 0:02:26to one big fat mega exciting finale...
0:02:26 > 0:02:28# Who let the dogs out?
0:02:28 > 0:02:30# Who, who, who? #
0:02:30 > 0:02:33..and an even bigger, sparklier trophy!
0:02:33 > 0:02:37If I get through, I'll be so excited.
0:02:37 > 0:02:39We would have a chance to show what we can do.
0:02:39 > 0:02:44It will teach Crystal new things and then she could bond with other dogs.
0:02:44 > 0:02:47I want to prove that Chihuahuas aren't just a fashion accessory
0:02:47 > 0:02:48and that they are clever.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51He's just the best dog in the world and he deserves it.
0:02:54 > 0:02:59One of the first under the spotlight is Liam and Alfie from Cardiff.
0:02:59 > 0:03:02Liam is hoping that his friendship with his dog
0:03:02 > 0:03:05will impress Zak enough to get them into the Dog House.
0:03:05 > 0:03:09Me and Alfie have a strong bond and we love to learn new tricks
0:03:09 > 0:03:14and Alfie's never won an award, so fingers crossed.
0:03:14 > 0:03:18This is their one chance to impress Zak George.
0:03:18 > 0:03:20- How you doing today?- Alfie!
0:03:20 > 0:03:23- If you want to take the lead off, you may.- Oh, yeah.
0:03:23 > 0:03:25It's up to you, though.
0:03:25 > 0:03:29- I'd like you to encourage him to come and stand on this, OK?- OK.
0:03:30 > 0:03:33It's a good idea to be close to them. Really good. Ask him to stay.
0:03:33 > 0:03:35Oh. Alfie!
0:03:35 > 0:03:37Not the ball!
0:03:37 > 0:03:40Oh, no! I don't think that was supposed to happen!
0:03:41 > 0:03:45Let's see if we can get a little closer to him over here.
0:03:45 > 0:03:49All they can do now is try and catch Alfie, to get him under control.
0:03:51 > 0:03:54What on earth is Liam going to do?
0:03:54 > 0:03:57I know you're frustrated right now. It really is not a disaster.
0:03:57 > 0:04:00Looks like Liam's got a secret weapon.
0:04:00 > 0:04:02Pick up that ball and put it on the trampoline.
0:04:02 > 0:04:05No ball, but you can have the Frisbee.
0:04:05 > 0:04:08I like that! You do watch Who Let The Dogs Out?
0:04:08 > 0:04:13Can you put him on the lead, please? And just stand up for me, please.
0:04:13 > 0:04:16- Oh, no!- OK, now it's a disaster!
0:04:16 > 0:04:18And now he's got his bag of treats.
0:04:18 > 0:04:22It's OK. You can't get past me! No, you can't do it!
0:04:27 > 0:04:31OK, let's try and get him. Hey, how are you? OK, we're cool.
0:04:35 > 0:04:37- He ate most of them!- Nice work.
0:04:37 > 0:04:39Me and you - we're a good team, ain't we?
0:04:40 > 0:04:42That was a complete disaster.
0:04:43 > 0:04:46Absolutely was.
0:04:47 > 0:04:51Let's just say, me and Zak got a lot of exercise.
0:04:51 > 0:04:53Oh, wow, yeah!
0:04:53 > 0:04:57At first, I didn't think it was a disaster, but, yeah, it really was.
0:04:57 > 0:04:59And Liam wasn't the only trainer
0:04:59 > 0:05:02to find out that things don't always go the way you plan them.
0:05:02 > 0:05:04I hope you're not filming this!
0:05:07 > 0:05:08Are you embarrassed by this?
0:05:08 > 0:05:10SHE LAUGHS
0:05:10 > 0:05:12But he's still going. This is like a record here!
0:05:15 > 0:05:17- Aw!- He can pee on command!
0:05:18 > 0:05:21I don't think this is what Zak was expecting at all.
0:05:21 > 0:05:24Will anyone make it to the Dog House?
0:05:24 > 0:05:26What if Zak cancels the show?!
0:05:26 > 0:05:30This series of Who Let The Dogs Out? is a lot tougher than last time.
0:05:30 > 0:05:33I've got to know that the dogs and trainers that I choose
0:05:33 > 0:05:36here at the try-outs are up for all of the challenges that lie ahead.
0:05:36 > 0:05:40I need real trust and communication between dog and trainer.
0:05:40 > 0:05:44They've got to prove to me that they're willing to work hard.
0:05:44 > 0:05:48I mean, we can't make this show if the trainers aren't dedicated.
0:05:51 > 0:05:55Warming up in the waiting room are Esther and Daisy.
0:05:55 > 0:05:59I wonder if they can make a better impression on Zak?
0:05:59 > 0:06:02I'm feeling really excited about going into the try-outs
0:06:02 > 0:06:05and meeting Zak, because I'm a really big fan of dog training.
0:06:05 > 0:06:07I like your sweater.
0:06:07 > 0:06:11Tell me, Esther, why do you want to come to the Dog House?
0:06:11 > 0:06:13Daisy's just a brilliant dog,
0:06:13 > 0:06:17and she knows everything she possibly could at the moment,
0:06:17 > 0:06:19and I just want to show people how good she is.
0:06:19 > 0:06:22You may be the most confident trainer I've seen here today.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25- Do you think you're going to do well at the try-outs?- Yeah.
0:06:25 > 0:06:28- Get to work. Show me what you got. - Down.
0:06:29 > 0:06:30Stay.
0:06:32 > 0:06:33Stay.
0:06:33 > 0:06:35Good girl!
0:06:35 > 0:06:39Sit. Good girl. High five!
0:06:39 > 0:06:41Crawl. Crawl. Good girl.
0:06:41 > 0:06:43- That's more like it!- Fetch!
0:06:43 > 0:06:46- OK, very good. I get that. - She's trying to...- Yeah.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48She's trying to pick it up. Go weave.
0:06:50 > 0:06:52- Very nice.- Good girl!
0:06:52 > 0:06:55- Would she be comfortable getting inside here?- Yeah, I'm pretty sure.
0:06:55 > 0:06:58Daisy, in you get. Good girl!
0:06:58 > 0:07:01She knew what you wanted. Come on out.
0:07:01 > 0:07:04You have really good communication with your dog.
0:07:04 > 0:07:07What I want her to do is to hit this, like this.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09- Do you think she could do that? - Yeah.
0:07:09 > 0:07:12- Or would that make her nervous? - Daisy, come here.
0:07:12 > 0:07:14Fetch!
0:07:14 > 0:07:16In the hand, Dais.
0:07:16 > 0:07:19You've delighted me today. You've done very, very well.
0:07:19 > 0:07:21I appreciate it.
0:07:21 > 0:07:23- You're free to go. Thank you. - Thank you.
0:07:23 > 0:07:25I think the try-out went really, really good
0:07:25 > 0:07:28and Daisy's probably quite proud of herself.
0:07:28 > 0:07:31If you want to have a chance of doing well on Who Let The Dogs Out?,
0:07:31 > 0:07:33you've got to give me a try-out like that.
0:07:33 > 0:07:36That is a dog and a trainer who get it. They understand each other.
0:07:36 > 0:07:39That's the game you've got to bring to get on Who Let The Dogs Out?
0:07:42 > 0:07:44Esther and Daisy weren't the only ones
0:07:44 > 0:07:46- jumping through hoops to impress Zak.- Very nice work.
0:07:46 > 0:07:52- That is the kind of try-out I like to see from a dog. Incredible!- Phew!
0:07:52 > 0:07:54It seems the future of Who Let The Dogs Out? is safe.
0:07:54 > 0:07:56- That's good. Good, good. - Yes, good boy!
0:07:56 > 0:07:58If they get into the Dog House,
0:07:58 > 0:08:00they're going to be next-to-unstoppable.
0:08:00 > 0:08:03'I'm so proud of him for even getting this far.'
0:08:03 > 0:08:06If we get into the Dog House, it would just be a bonus.
0:08:06 > 0:08:08And she's done unbelievable!
0:08:08 > 0:08:11'Zak said he's never seen'
0:08:11 > 0:08:12a dog jump that high.
0:08:12 > 0:08:14Come on. Rosie, come here.
0:08:14 > 0:08:16'I'm proud of Rosie.'
0:08:16 > 0:08:19She's done really well. I couldn't be more pleased with her.
0:08:19 > 0:08:22- On. Good girl!- Whoa!
0:08:22 > 0:08:23Good girl!
0:08:23 > 0:08:26I really hope we've done enough to get to the Dog House,
0:08:26 > 0:08:29cos I think she did really well.
0:08:29 > 0:08:31Some of these dogs are really awesome.
0:08:31 > 0:08:33I've been so impressed with the dogs' focus
0:08:33 > 0:08:35and I've seen some very strong relationships.
0:08:35 > 0:08:37I was starting to get a little bit worried,
0:08:37 > 0:08:39but I think we're going to be all right.
0:08:39 > 0:08:41Well, that is a relief!
0:08:41 > 0:08:45But the try-outs are not going so well for Ella and Charlie.
0:08:45 > 0:08:47They've missed their slot to see Zak.
0:08:47 > 0:08:49I couldn't make our try-out,
0:08:49 > 0:08:53because our car, sadly, broke down, so we couldn't make it.
0:08:53 > 0:08:56I was really devastated, but now I'm here, so...
0:08:56 > 0:08:59Ella now has a nervous wait for a try-out slot to become available.
0:08:59 > 0:09:03Will she ever get the chance to show off Charlie's talents?
0:09:03 > 0:09:08I think that I can win Who Let The Dogs Out? because Charlie
0:09:08 > 0:09:12is a real perseverer and he'll try to do his best every time.
0:09:12 > 0:09:14Ella's not the only one feeling the pressure.
0:09:14 > 0:09:17Nerves are getting the better of lots of the trainers
0:09:17 > 0:09:20waiting for their moment to shine in front of Zak.
0:09:20 > 0:09:23I'm really excited, because it will be a really fun opportunity,
0:09:23 > 0:09:26but I'm a bit nervous in case it all goes wrong!
0:09:26 > 0:09:29The worst thing that could probably happen is him getting overwhelmed
0:09:29 > 0:09:31and just not do anything.
0:09:31 > 0:09:34Otis, he is a little devil sometimes,
0:09:34 > 0:09:38and he doesn't do what I ask him to.
0:09:38 > 0:09:40The worst thing that could happen in front of Zak
0:09:40 > 0:09:42is if she whines like this...
0:09:42 > 0:09:45SHE WHINES ..and then she makes a mess.
0:09:45 > 0:09:47But someone who is not showing their nerves
0:09:47 > 0:09:50and using every last second to get ready for their try-out,
0:09:50 > 0:09:53is Io and her dog, Ernie.
0:09:53 > 0:09:56I'm feeling half-nervous and half-excited,
0:09:56 > 0:09:59so it's a bit like, Yay! Wargh! Yay! Wargh!
0:09:59 > 0:10:02But how will they be when they meet Zak?
0:10:05 > 0:10:07'I'm excited about meeting Zak'
0:10:07 > 0:10:10because, well, when you watch someone on TV,
0:10:10 > 0:10:11you're never really scared of them,
0:10:11 > 0:10:14'but when you meet the celebrity personally, it's quite scary.'
0:10:14 > 0:10:18But I'm excited about showing off what Ernie can do.
0:10:18 > 0:10:19ZAK CHUCKLES
0:10:19 > 0:10:22Oh, Ernie, what are you doing?!
0:10:22 > 0:10:24Oh, Ernie! Ernie!
0:10:24 > 0:10:27SHE GIGGLES
0:10:27 > 0:10:29SHE LAUGHS
0:10:30 > 0:10:33You clown! That's not real grass. SHE SIGHS
0:10:33 > 0:10:36That was part of the routine, right? That was a trick, right?
0:10:36 > 0:10:38It was on purpose.
0:10:38 > 0:10:43When Ernie went to the toilet on set, it just felt so embarrassing.
0:10:43 > 0:10:46It just felt, "Urgh!"
0:10:46 > 0:10:49It made me feel really angry and I didn't know he was going to do it.
0:10:49 > 0:10:51I thought he was house-trained.
0:10:51 > 0:10:53Tell me why you want to come to the Dog House, Io.
0:10:53 > 0:10:56I really want to come to the Dog House because I want to show Ernie's
0:10:56 > 0:11:03a really clever dog, not from, like, going to the toilet indoors.
0:11:03 > 0:11:06He's a lot more clever on the inside, aren't you, boy?
0:11:06 > 0:11:11We'll see how he can do, but I bet he is very, very clever.
0:11:11 > 0:11:14- Show me what you got.- Let's see if you can get on the trampoline.
0:11:14 > 0:11:17Ernie, up. Ernie, what's this?
0:11:17 > 0:11:19Does he already do the trampoline or not?
0:11:19 > 0:11:22Well, he likes going on the trampoline. Ernie, up.
0:11:22 > 0:11:25We've got one at home. Go on. Good boy. Up.
0:11:25 > 0:11:27Up. Up.
0:11:27 > 0:11:28Good boy, good boy!
0:11:28 > 0:11:32- Does he jump on the spot? - Mmm, not really.- OK.
0:11:32 > 0:11:34He can climb on, though.
0:11:34 > 0:11:37- So he can climb on the trampoline? - Yeah.
0:11:37 > 0:11:40That's a useful skill... in some capacity, I'm sure.
0:11:40 > 0:11:41Can you climb down here?
0:11:41 > 0:11:43'Things went well when Ernie'
0:11:43 > 0:11:46got himself onto the trampoline, and he went after the ball.
0:11:46 > 0:11:49'That was good. There were points'
0:11:49 > 0:11:51which went well. It wasn't all bad.
0:11:51 > 0:11:53Ernie, Ernie! No, no, no! No, no!
0:11:53 > 0:11:55Oh, no!
0:11:55 > 0:11:56Ernie!
0:11:56 > 0:11:58SHE LAUGHS
0:11:58 > 0:11:59Oh, not again!
0:11:59 > 0:12:01'He wouldn't stop.'
0:12:01 > 0:12:03It just felt so embarrassing.
0:12:03 > 0:12:05I really like how you react, I really do.
0:12:05 > 0:12:07I know you're a little embarrassed. Don't be.
0:12:07 > 0:12:10'Ernie did his best but he's not'
0:12:10 > 0:12:12really classed as a really, like,
0:12:12 > 0:12:15"Look at me, I'm all posh and really sporty."
0:12:15 > 0:12:18'He's more of a house pet. That's why we like him.'
0:12:18 > 0:12:21Come on, come on.
0:12:21 > 0:12:25Maybe if we put the lead on him and escort him over, that might help.
0:12:25 > 0:12:27Yeah, that might.
0:12:28 > 0:12:32- Come on. Good boy.- Yeah, you did it! All right!- Good boy, good boy!
0:12:32 > 0:12:34Good boy!
0:12:34 > 0:12:35Unbelievable!
0:12:35 > 0:12:39What I look for with a trainer and their dog is that they have an
0:12:39 > 0:12:41unbelievable bond and connection,
0:12:41 > 0:12:44and you could not love him any more than you do.
0:12:44 > 0:12:46That is first and foremost,
0:12:46 > 0:12:48and that's why I really like you guys a lot.
0:12:48 > 0:12:51'Well, I wouldn't say we were perfect,'
0:12:51 > 0:12:54but Zak said he was looking for, like, bonds between
0:12:54 > 0:12:57'the trainer and the dog.' He trinkled twice!
0:12:57 > 0:13:01'He said I had a really good bond with him and was enthusiastic.'
0:13:01 > 0:13:03That makes me feel really confident.
0:13:03 > 0:13:07Io is a star and Ernie is a great sidekick. They're a wonderful team.
0:13:07 > 0:13:10I don't know what on earth we could teach them,
0:13:10 > 0:13:13but I would love to figure out some way to make them work.
0:13:15 > 0:13:17Who Let The Dogs Out? attracts
0:13:17 > 0:13:21some of the most talented dog trainers from all over the UK,
0:13:21 > 0:13:24so what is the secret to being an exceptional dog trainer?
0:13:24 > 0:13:27Well, you need a lot of energy and a lot of patience.
0:13:27 > 0:13:31You need biscuits because Maggie really likes biscuits.
0:13:31 > 0:13:34You have to be calm and just,
0:13:34 > 0:13:36just patient.
0:13:36 > 0:13:40I think girls are better dog trainers because, well, I'm a girl.
0:13:40 > 0:13:41SHE GIGGLES
0:13:41 > 0:13:44I like to think boys are the better trainers
0:13:44 > 0:13:45but there's no saying, really.
0:13:45 > 0:13:50You need the confidence to talk to a dog and get them to do something.
0:13:50 > 0:13:54Practice, practice, practice. And also to get very good treats.
0:13:54 > 0:13:59The treats are little... My grains, like these,
0:13:59 > 0:14:03and, mostly, the toy is always a ball.
0:14:03 > 0:14:06And one person who thinks that he's got what it takes
0:14:06 > 0:14:08to be THE top dog trainer is Dylan,
0:14:08 > 0:14:11and he's brought along his best friend Chase to prove it.
0:14:11 > 0:14:13'If I made it to the Dog House,'
0:14:13 > 0:14:18it'd make me feel like a miracle had just happened!
0:14:18 > 0:14:21It's now time for Dylan and Chase to prove to Zak
0:14:21 > 0:14:23that they've got what it takes.
0:14:23 > 0:14:26- Are you a good dog trainer?- Sort of.
0:14:26 > 0:14:30I go dog training five times a week.
0:14:30 > 0:14:32- All right, go on.- Sit.
0:14:32 > 0:14:34Stay. Chase, legs.
0:14:34 > 0:14:37Legs. Legs.
0:14:37 > 0:14:39Legs. Chase, round.
0:14:39 > 0:14:41Down.
0:14:41 > 0:14:43Roll over. Down.
0:14:43 > 0:14:46Roll over. Flat.
0:14:46 > 0:14:48You ain't messing around, buddy!
0:14:48 > 0:14:52Chase, back. Bend.
0:14:52 > 0:14:54Good.
0:14:54 > 0:14:56Do you ever reward with play?
0:14:59 > 0:15:00Chase, front, back.
0:15:00 > 0:15:03Back, down. Good.
0:15:04 > 0:15:05Wow.
0:15:05 > 0:15:07Front, back, under.
0:15:07 > 0:15:10Under. Turn.
0:15:10 > 0:15:12- Sit.- Look at this!- Good.
0:15:12 > 0:15:13Oh, wow!
0:15:28 > 0:15:31- All done?- Yeah. - Fantastic job! Very good.
0:15:31 > 0:15:33'Me and Chase should go to the Dog House'
0:15:33 > 0:15:36because me and Chase
0:15:36 > 0:15:40'really want to show people what me and Chase can do,
0:15:40 > 0:15:44'and that me and Chase love being together and doing things.'
0:15:44 > 0:15:46That's the bond right there. See what I mean?
0:15:46 > 0:15:47That's what we're after.
0:15:47 > 0:15:51That's why you don't ask somebody else to train your dog,
0:15:51 > 0:15:53because the connection needs to be here.
0:15:53 > 0:15:55I had to crawl over to Zak.
0:15:55 > 0:15:58- That was incredible.- Thank you. - You're a very special trainer.
0:15:58 > 0:16:02And he said, "Right, you're free to go." I was like, "Ohhh!"
0:16:02 > 0:16:06You are the definition of cool, in my book. You're very good.
0:16:06 > 0:16:08- You're free to go. Thank you, Dylan. - Thank you.
0:16:08 > 0:16:10Ohhh! I want to stay in!
0:16:11 > 0:16:15I mean, that's what it's about, right there. He was enjoying it.
0:16:15 > 0:16:17I absolutely loved watching them.
0:16:17 > 0:16:19There is nothing on this show that he can't teach.
0:16:19 > 0:16:21They might just go all the way.
0:16:23 > 0:16:27Well, Dylan and Chase seemed to impress Zak,
0:16:27 > 0:16:29but there's just no way of knowing
0:16:29 > 0:16:32who's going to the Dog House and who is not.
0:16:32 > 0:16:33Whoa-ho!
0:16:33 > 0:16:36There are certainly a lot of hopeful trainers...
0:16:36 > 0:16:37Good girl!
0:16:37 > 0:16:40..giving it their best shot!
0:16:40 > 0:16:43All those people who say children can't handle dogs,
0:16:43 > 0:16:44I want to show them we can.
0:16:44 > 0:16:46I do think me and Beck could have a chance
0:16:46 > 0:16:49'of becoming the top dog trainer and dog,'
0:16:49 > 0:16:51because of our relationship together.
0:16:51 > 0:16:57I want to get to Dog House loads, to prove that Elsie can be top dog.
0:16:57 > 0:16:59Monty has quite a lot of potential.
0:16:59 > 0:17:02He's got quite a big mind and uses quite a lot of it,
0:17:02 > 0:17:05whilst a big dog might use a smaller chunk.
0:17:05 > 0:17:07I think Magic has what it takes
0:17:07 > 0:17:09because he's a really, really intelligent dog.
0:17:09 > 0:17:13I'd love to do it and I think Storm would like to, as well.
0:17:13 > 0:17:16I think we could definitely win the top dog training award,
0:17:16 > 0:17:18because Ziggy's just an amazing dog.
0:17:18 > 0:17:23Earlier, Ella and Charlie missed their try-out slot and,
0:17:23 > 0:17:25while waiting for another slot,
0:17:25 > 0:17:27they start to have doubts.
0:17:27 > 0:17:32The worst thing that could happen is Charlie could see a football
0:17:32 > 0:17:36and just decide to just go and grab it and play with it.
0:17:36 > 0:17:38Well, the waiting is over.
0:17:38 > 0:17:40They've got a slot,
0:17:40 > 0:17:43and it's finally time for Ella and Charlie to see Zak.
0:17:43 > 0:17:45Go ahead and show me what you guys can do.
0:17:45 > 0:17:48You don't feel comfortable taking him off the lead, is that right?
0:17:48 > 0:17:52- Yeah, because of the footballs.- I'll move these out of the way. Go on.
0:17:52 > 0:17:55- Charlie, come on. - Charlie's not buying it.
0:17:55 > 0:17:56He ain't buying it at all!
0:17:56 > 0:18:00Go ahead and put the treat right under his nose so he can smell it.
0:18:00 > 0:18:05- Charlie, what's this?- And ask him to do the trick for the ball, OK?
0:18:05 > 0:18:09- Don't give it to him just yet, but go on.- OK.
0:18:09 > 0:18:10Charlie, sit.
0:18:10 > 0:18:13"Let me at the ball," he says. "I gotta have it!"
0:18:13 > 0:18:17OK, let him have the ball. Now he's earned it. Let him play with it.
0:18:17 > 0:18:18Hey, Charlie, look what I got.
0:18:18 > 0:18:22What's this? You've got to let go of that one. Good, good, good!
0:18:22 > 0:18:24Use this as the reward. Let's try.
0:18:24 > 0:18:27- Does he do dribbling in a controlled manner?- Yeah.
0:18:27 > 0:18:29Show that to me. I'd love to see that.
0:18:31 > 0:18:34You can let go of the lead.
0:18:34 > 0:18:38- Uh-oh! Where's he going?- I mean, this dog is crazy! Look at this!
0:18:38 > 0:18:41Charlie, you love that football!
0:18:42 > 0:18:45Argh! Oh, man! He's scared of nothing.
0:18:45 > 0:18:48- He's wrecking the set! - Look at him go.
0:18:48 > 0:18:52- Come on, Charlie. Let's go over here.- Come on, Charlie. Come on.
0:18:52 > 0:18:55Hold your dog over here, please. Thank you.
0:18:55 > 0:18:57I'm going to toss this up.
0:18:57 > 0:18:59Yes!
0:18:59 > 0:19:01Good, yes!
0:19:01 > 0:19:02Oh, you're a good dog!
0:19:02 > 0:19:05How do you feel about getting on the trampoline
0:19:05 > 0:19:08- or having him get on the trampoline? - Come on, Charlie.
0:19:08 > 0:19:11Very good. If you get on this block right here, like that,
0:19:11 > 0:19:14- and encourage him to jump on the spot, like this.- Come on.
0:19:14 > 0:19:16Come on.
0:19:16 > 0:19:19- Nice. Keep going.- Come on.- Yes!
0:19:19 > 0:19:22All right, cool. Let's come on down here.
0:19:22 > 0:19:25When I asked if he fetched, does he bring it back to you?
0:19:25 > 0:19:29- Yeah, like tennis balls.- Show me. - Charlie! Good boy!
0:19:29 > 0:19:31- Get it.- Oh, I don't think that was meant to happen!
0:19:32 > 0:19:34- Charlie!- You are...
0:19:34 > 0:19:37You're possessed! There's a football back here.
0:19:37 > 0:19:39Charlie!
0:19:41 > 0:19:44- Great dribbling skills, Charlie. - Shall I get him?
0:19:44 > 0:19:46Yeah. I...
0:19:46 > 0:19:47Charlie!
0:19:50 > 0:19:54I think everyone needs to take cover right now, is what you need to do!
0:19:54 > 0:19:56Have we got him? OK, good work.
0:19:58 > 0:20:00OK, very good.
0:20:00 > 0:20:01Come on, Charlie. What's this?
0:20:01 > 0:20:04'The try-out went a bit not to plan'
0:20:04 > 0:20:08because Charlie saw the footballs and just decided he wouldn't, like...
0:20:08 > 0:20:11He just wanted to go and play with them,
0:20:11 > 0:20:13and didn't do any of his tricks.
0:20:13 > 0:20:16Ella and Charlie, you're free to go. Thank you. Thank you
0:20:16 > 0:20:18- Nice work.- Come on.
0:20:18 > 0:20:20'Charlie is, by far,'
0:20:20 > 0:20:23the craziest dog we've ever had try out for Who Let The Dogs Out?
0:20:23 > 0:20:26I couldn't believe what I was seeing, but with that kind of energy
0:20:26 > 0:20:29and that kind of focus, there's nothing you can't teach him.
0:20:29 > 0:20:32It's just a question of whether or not Ella can connect with him.
0:20:32 > 0:20:33If she does, she'll do well.
0:20:33 > 0:20:36Zak's obviously seen potential in Charlie and Ella,
0:20:36 > 0:20:39but have they done enough to make it to the Dog House?
0:20:39 > 0:20:42# I like the way you move! #
0:20:42 > 0:20:45Is it me or have we seen a lot of terriers today?
0:20:48 > 0:20:50Yes, Zak, there have been a lot of terriers,
0:20:50 > 0:20:53but there have been loads of other breeds, too.
0:20:53 > 0:20:57This is Dotty and she's a Cocker Spaniel.
0:20:57 > 0:21:01Ozzie is a Basset Hound and he's very, very stubborn.
0:21:01 > 0:21:04My dog's name is Bailey and he's a Westie Blue.
0:21:04 > 0:21:06- She's a white German Shepherd. - Chihuahua.
0:21:06 > 0:21:08She's a Sprocker.
0:21:08 > 0:21:09Miniature Dachshund.
0:21:09 > 0:21:12My dog's name is Charlie Weasley and he's a Border Terrier.
0:21:12 > 0:21:15She's a Giant Schnauzer and she loves cuddles.
0:21:15 > 0:21:16Ferdie is a whippet.
0:21:16 > 0:21:17Spanish Water Dog.
0:21:17 > 0:21:19She's a Hungarian Vizsla.
0:21:19 > 0:21:20This is Elvis. (Sit down.)
0:21:20 > 0:21:22HE WHINES
0:21:22 > 0:21:25- Weimaraner.- She's a Saluki Cross. - He's a Papillon.
0:21:25 > 0:21:28A Military Jack Russell, crossed with a Teacup Chihuahua.
0:21:28 > 0:21:30She's a Miniature Schnauzer
0:21:30 > 0:21:33and her personality is a very loud dog and very energetic.
0:21:33 > 0:21:36The dog's breed isn't really that important.
0:21:36 > 0:21:39I'm looking for good balancers, good jumpers, good catchers,
0:21:39 > 0:21:42dogs with a great sense of smell, dogs that love to play.
0:21:42 > 0:21:45What I'm trying to say is that it's more about the individual dog
0:21:45 > 0:21:47than it is the breed.
0:21:49 > 0:21:51This year's try-outs have been incredibly busy
0:21:51 > 0:21:54and Zak has seen oodles of dog-training talent.
0:21:54 > 0:21:56Yeah, back stall, check it out!
0:21:56 > 0:21:57Hey, look at that, yeah!
0:21:57 > 0:22:00Oh, gosh! There she goes! She did it!
0:22:00 > 0:22:01But it's not over yet
0:22:01 > 0:22:05and someone who's been desperately waiting to impress Zak
0:22:05 > 0:22:07is Jake and his dog, Ice.
0:22:07 > 0:22:10They have a lot to live up to as Who Let The Dogs Out?
0:22:10 > 0:22:12is becoming a family tradition.
0:22:12 > 0:22:14'There is a bit of pressure.'
0:22:14 > 0:22:17My sister Becky got through last year
0:22:17 > 0:22:19and I'd love to make it into the Dog House,
0:22:19 > 0:22:22because I just want to learn loads of tricks.
0:22:22 > 0:22:24Your Becky's brother from last year.
0:22:24 > 0:22:27She did skipping and she came in second, I believe.
0:22:27 > 0:22:28- Is that right?- Yeah.
0:22:28 > 0:22:30I want to beat Becky
0:22:30 > 0:22:33and probably come a bit higher in position than her.
0:22:33 > 0:22:34- Sibling rivalry here, huh?- Yeah.
0:22:34 > 0:22:37Your sister was an amazing dog trainer.
0:22:37 > 0:22:41If you could live up to that, I would be extremely impressed.
0:22:41 > 0:22:43Just go into it. Show me what you got.
0:22:43 > 0:22:44Paw.
0:22:44 > 0:22:46OK. Nice.
0:22:46 > 0:22:49Tall, tall, tall. Tall.
0:22:50 > 0:22:52Wait. Roll over.
0:22:52 > 0:22:55HE PRESSES A CLICKER Back up, back up. Back up.
0:22:55 > 0:22:58- Great. Very good.- Go right. Go left.
0:22:58 > 0:23:02Did you learn that from our show, or did she already know that?
0:23:02 > 0:23:06- The show.- The show, all right! I like that. Nellie's quick tricks, right?
0:23:06 > 0:23:08- Yep.- Ask your dog to stay. - Wait.- Come here.
0:23:08 > 0:23:11Ice, come here. Hey, Ice, no, don't listen! Come here.
0:23:11 > 0:23:15Ah! Zak is trying to distract Ice to make sure her full attention
0:23:15 > 0:23:18- is on Jake.- Your dog should listen to you, not me.
0:23:18 > 0:23:21- Good girl. - Show me weave poles, please.
0:23:21 > 0:23:23Weave. Ice. Ice!
0:23:23 > 0:23:26That's what I like to see!
0:23:26 > 0:23:27Yes!
0:23:27 > 0:23:29Look at that control.
0:23:29 > 0:23:34Ice is really toy-motivated and concentrated on me a lot.
0:23:34 > 0:23:40She did very well and she did most of the tricks perfect.
0:23:40 > 0:23:43You did really awesome. I'm proud of you. You did good.
0:23:43 > 0:23:46I can tell you are Becky's brother, for sure. You're free to go.
0:23:46 > 0:23:48- Thank you.- Thank you.- Good work.
0:23:48 > 0:23:51- Good girl! - That was an amazing try-out there.
0:23:51 > 0:23:54I really enjoyed watching Jake and Ice here.
0:23:54 > 0:23:58You can definitely tell Becky and Jake come from the same family.
0:23:58 > 0:24:01There's not much Jake couldn't teach Ice to do. That was wonderful.
0:24:06 > 0:24:10After four long days, the try-outs have come to an end.
0:24:12 > 0:24:15Zak was blown away by the standard and has seen
0:24:15 > 0:24:19some of the finest dog training talent that the UK has to offer.
0:24:20 > 0:24:23We've seen some bizarre behaviour...
0:24:23 > 0:24:26That was a complete disaster!
0:24:26 > 0:24:29- ..terrific tricks... - You ain't messing around, buddy!
0:24:29 > 0:24:32..and way too many toilet tragedies.
0:24:32 > 0:24:35What are you doing?! Oh, Ernie! Ernie!
0:24:37 > 0:24:40Only 27 could be chosen to battle it out in the Dog House
0:24:40 > 0:24:44for the ultimate prize, the top dog trainer trophy.
0:24:44 > 0:24:49After hours of debate, Zak and producer Claire made tough decisions
0:24:49 > 0:24:53to select the best trainers from all of the try-outs.
0:24:53 > 0:24:55They were good. They belong on the show.
0:24:55 > 0:24:59The elite 27 teams have now been chosen
0:24:59 > 0:25:02and will face the biggest challenge of their lives
0:25:02 > 0:25:05in one of the toughest dog trick competitions ever.
0:25:08 > 0:25:10And one of the surprise decisions
0:25:10 > 0:25:14was to include Io and her sidekick, Ernie.
0:25:14 > 0:25:18They won over Zak with their enthusiasm and close relationship.
0:25:18 > 0:25:21You could not love him any more than you do.
0:25:21 > 0:25:24Zak is convinced that the bond between this dynamic duo
0:25:24 > 0:25:27could make them real contenders.
0:25:27 > 0:25:30Hundreds of kids auditioned and then only 27 could come,
0:25:30 > 0:25:33and I'm in that 27. It feels just amazing.
0:25:33 > 0:25:36An obvious choice for Zak was the confident Esther and Daisy.
0:25:36 > 0:25:41You've delighted me today. You've done very, very well.
0:25:41 > 0:25:44Their communication skills will prove invaluable
0:25:44 > 0:25:46for the tasks ahead at the Dog House.
0:25:46 > 0:25:49It feels really exciting but I'm nervous.
0:25:49 > 0:25:53Jake and Ice managed to uphold their family's reputation
0:25:53 > 0:25:54and hugely impressed Zak.
0:25:54 > 0:25:58I can tell you are Becky's brother, for sure.
0:25:58 > 0:26:00Jake's training skills really stood out
0:26:00 > 0:26:02and could help Ice to learn any trick.
0:26:02 > 0:26:04It feels great to be in the Dog House.
0:26:04 > 0:26:07Ella was disappointed with her try-out,
0:26:07 > 0:26:10but Zak saw a lot of potential in her and Charlie.
0:26:10 > 0:26:12With that kind of energy and that kind of focus,
0:26:12 > 0:26:14there's nothing you can't teach him.
0:26:14 > 0:26:18Zak is certain that, if they can channel Charlie's energy
0:26:18 > 0:26:20into training, then they will go far.
0:26:20 > 0:26:24It feels really great, so I'm really proud of Charlie.
0:26:24 > 0:26:27The most amazing try-out was performed by Dylan and Chase.
