This is the Dog House - | 0:00:02 | 0:00:03 | |
home to the most amazing dog training competition in the UK. | 0:00:03 | 0:00:06 | |
It's here that champion dog trainer Zak George is on a mission | 0:00:06 | 0:00:09 | |
to find the best young dog trainer in the country. | 0:00:09 | 0:00:12 | |
Welcome to Who Let The Dogs Out? | 0:00:12 | 0:00:15 | |
Hundreds applied, | 0:00:15 | 0:00:17 | |
27 made it to The Dog House, | 0:00:17 | 0:00:18 | |
but there can only be one winner. | 0:00:18 | 0:00:21 | |
Ooh, yeah! | 0:00:21 | 0:00:23 | |
Today, three young trainers will go head to head | 0:00:23 | 0:00:25 | |
for a place in the next round. | 0:00:25 | 0:00:27 | |
Yes, look at that! | 0:00:27 | 0:00:29 | |
-Who will hold their nerve? -Reward big there! | 0:00:29 | 0:00:31 | |
And who will tip the balance in their favour? | 0:00:31 | 0:00:34 | |
It's time to find out who's got the canine credentials | 0:00:34 | 0:00:37 | |
down at Dog House. | 0:00:37 | 0:00:39 | |
Today, on Who Let The Dogs Out? | 0:01:00 | 0:01:01 | |
We've got spy dogs with a licence to chase. | 0:01:01 | 0:01:04 | |
In Zak's Quick Trick, Nelly learns how to tidy up the Dog House, | 0:01:04 | 0:01:08 | |
and three new teams rise to the challenge | 0:01:08 | 0:01:10 | |
in the hope of a place in the next round. | 0:01:10 | 0:01:13 | |
Today, three trainers and their dogs are going to be put to the test | 0:01:15 | 0:01:18 | |
in an incredibly difficult balancing challenge that involves height. | 0:01:18 | 0:01:22 | |
Now, hundreds applied to contact the Dog House, | 0:01:22 | 0:01:25 | |
but only 27 young trainers and their dogs were invited. | 0:01:25 | 0:01:28 | |
Let's find out why Louise and Rosie, | 0:01:28 | 0:01:30 | |
Genevieve and Monty Zoom, | 0:01:30 | 0:01:32 | |
and Millie and Tickle impressed me so much. | 0:01:32 | 0:01:36 | |
At the Try-outs, dozens of dogs and their trainers | 0:01:40 | 0:01:43 | |
were hoping to get to the Dog House for a crack at the ultimate prize | 0:01:43 | 0:01:46 | |
of the Top Dog Trainer trophy. | 0:01:46 | 0:01:47 | |
The competition was fierce and only the very best would get there. | 0:01:47 | 0:01:51 | |
Louise is a very experienced dog trainer | 0:01:51 | 0:01:54 | |
and has brought her dog Rosie along to see if they can impress Zak. | 0:01:54 | 0:01:58 | |
The best thing about Rosie | 0:01:58 | 0:02:00 | |
is she's lovely. | 0:02:00 | 0:02:01 | |
-Oooh, wow! -Yeah! | 0:02:01 | 0:02:03 | |
I'd like to go into the Dog House | 0:02:03 | 0:02:06 | |
cos I'd like to show people what we can do. | 0:02:06 | 0:02:10 | |
I can tell you're a very hard worker. | 0:02:10 | 0:02:12 | |
I'm proud of Rosie cos she worked so hard today | 0:02:12 | 0:02:16 | |
and I couldn't be more pleased with her. | 0:02:16 | 0:02:18 | |
That was really, really impressive. | 0:02:19 | 0:02:22 | |
I'm Genevieve | 0:02:22 | 0:02:24 | |
and this is my dog Monty, | 0:02:24 | 0:02:25 | |
'and he is a Papillon.' Spin! | 0:02:25 | 0:02:27 | |
Monty has quite a lot of potential. | 0:02:27 | 0:02:29 | |
He's got quite a big mind. | 0:02:29 | 0:02:32 | |
Yeah! Back stall. Check it out! | 0:02:32 | 0:02:36 | |
'Monty is amazing.' Come on, through! | 0:02:36 | 0:02:38 | |
-First time on the tunnel, great. -He's very clever. | 0:02:38 | 0:02:40 | |
Over! | 0:02:40 | 0:02:42 | |
A bit naughty. | 0:02:42 | 0:02:43 | |
Come! | 0:02:43 | 0:02:45 | |
And barks a lot. | 0:02:45 | 0:02:47 | |
MONTY BARKS | 0:02:47 | 0:02:48 | |
You've done really good with him. | 0:02:48 | 0:02:50 | |
-My name is Millie, my dog's name is Tickle. -Very nice. | 0:02:53 | 0:02:56 | |
I want you to just do your thing and show me what you got, OK? | 0:02:56 | 0:02:59 | |
Oh, so pretty on the lovely cushion. | 0:02:59 | 0:03:01 | |
Good stability too. | 0:03:01 | 0:03:03 | |
Tickle was really good. | 0:03:03 | 0:03:05 | |
She did was she was told. | 0:03:05 | 0:03:06 | |
-I like that. -Tick! Back! -Very good. | 0:03:08 | 0:03:11 | |
That mutual trust between dog and trainer, something I look for, | 0:03:11 | 0:03:15 | |
and nothing says trust like balancing. | 0:03:15 | 0:03:18 | |
-I was really proud of Tickle. -Very nice. -Thanks. | 0:03:18 | 0:03:20 | |
I'm impressed with you, good job. | 0:03:20 | 0:03:22 | |
Three great balancing dogs have made it to the Dog House. | 0:03:25 | 0:03:29 | |
But will they be able | 0:03:29 | 0:03:30 | |
to handle Zak's stunt? | 0:03:30 | 0:03:32 | |
Hey, hey, guys! How is it going? | 0:03:32 | 0:03:33 | |
ALL: Fine. | 0:03:33 | 0:03:35 | |
I'm so excited about today's trick. | 0:03:35 | 0:03:37 | |
Today, you're going to be teaching your dogs how to balance | 0:03:37 | 0:03:41 | |
with their back paws on your knees and their front paws on your hands. | 0:03:41 | 0:03:45 | |
Now, we call this a knee stall. | 0:03:45 | 0:03:48 | |
This requires a lot of dedication between you and your dog. | 0:03:48 | 0:03:51 | |
For this trick, the dogs will need | 0:03:51 | 0:03:53 | |
to jump onto their trainer's knees | 0:03:53 | 0:03:55 | |
and balance there. | 0:03:55 | 0:03:56 | |
Once they're stable, | 0:03:56 | 0:03:57 | |
the dogs will put their front paws | 0:03:57 | 0:03:59 | |
onto their trainer's hand. | 0:03:59 | 0:04:00 | |
At Showtime, the dog that balances there the longest will be the winner. | 0:04:00 | 0:04:04 | |
I'm going to start with Millie and Tickle over here. | 0:04:07 | 0:04:10 | |
Now, you see we've got these boxes out here | 0:04:10 | 0:04:12 | |
because we want to kind of teach our dogs to jump onto a smaller area. | 0:04:12 | 0:04:16 | |
Come on over here with her. | 0:04:16 | 0:04:18 | |
I want you to encourage Tickle to get up here. | 0:04:18 | 0:04:20 | |
Look how distracted Tickle is right now. | 0:04:20 | 0:04:22 | |
It's hard when you have all these distractions, but let's try it. | 0:04:22 | 0:04:26 | |
Looks like she's more interested in the grass | 0:04:26 | 0:04:28 | |
and what's under the blanket than the trick. | 0:04:28 | 0:04:30 | |
Hey, Tickle. Come here, girl. | 0:04:30 | 0:04:32 | |
Come on, up here, come on! Yes, good! | 0:04:32 | 0:04:34 | |
Very good. And look how close we are. | 0:04:34 | 0:04:36 | |
It's not all about the treat, it's a connection process too. | 0:04:36 | 0:04:39 | |
You can use both. Come here. Do you see this? Come on, let's go. | 0:04:39 | 0:04:42 | |
Come on. Oh, yes! Very good. You're doing wonderful, Tickle. | 0:04:42 | 0:04:46 | |
Now that she's up here, I'm going to move this around a little bit. | 0:04:46 | 0:04:50 | |
See that? Now, I'm going to lift it up a little bit... | 0:04:50 | 0:04:53 | |
Very good, very good! | 0:04:53 | 0:04:54 | |
I'm just assessing she's comfortable up here. | 0:04:54 | 0:04:56 | |
-Do you feel like you know what to do right now? -Yeah. | 0:04:56 | 0:04:59 | |
If Millie can keep Tickle's attention, they could do well. | 0:04:59 | 0:05:03 | |
Genevieve and Monty Zoom now. All right. How are we doing? | 0:05:03 | 0:05:06 | |
-Um...good. -OK. So... | 0:05:06 | 0:05:09 | |
Can I try without the lead, | 0:05:09 | 0:05:10 | |
cos he doesn't like doing things with the lead on. | 0:05:10 | 0:05:13 | |
Sure, that's fine. | 0:05:13 | 0:05:14 | |
-Up! Up! Good. -Very good. | 0:05:14 | 0:05:16 | |
-Now, show me some connection, show me some sincerity. -Up! Come on! | 0:05:16 | 0:05:19 | |
I always look for that when I see people training their dogs. | 0:05:19 | 0:05:22 | |
Good boy! Yeah, go! | 0:05:22 | 0:05:24 | |
-Very good! -Good! | 0:05:24 | 0:05:26 | |
It's a good start for Genevieve and Monty Zoom. | 0:05:26 | 0:05:29 | |
He has no problem getting on the box, | 0:05:29 | 0:05:30 | |
but he's not staying up there very long. | 0:05:30 | 0:05:32 | |
-No. -No. | 0:05:32 | 0:05:34 | |
And every time we say "No" to our dogs, | 0:05:34 | 0:05:36 | |
it should always be in a very calm tone, so it's, "No." | 0:05:36 | 0:05:39 | |
All "No" means is, "No, that's not what I was looking for." | 0:05:39 | 0:05:42 | |
It's not, "You're in trouble." It's, "That's not quite it." | 0:05:42 | 0:05:45 | |
You need to stay a little bit longer. Almost! Come on! | 0:05:45 | 0:05:49 | |
Say yes, good, very nice. | 0:05:49 | 0:05:51 | |
I want you to keep working on that right now, OK? | 0:05:51 | 0:05:54 | |
-Everything OK? -Yeah. -What's happening over there? | 0:05:54 | 0:05:57 | |
Looks like Millie is still having trouble holding Tickle's attention. | 0:05:57 | 0:06:01 | |
Louise and Rosie. Show me what you got. | 0:06:01 | 0:06:04 | |
Move, Rosie. | 0:06:04 | 0:06:06 | |
Feet, feet. | 0:06:06 | 0:06:08 | |
-Come on. Good, sit, good. -Very nice. You know what? | 0:06:08 | 0:06:11 | |
I think, with you, we can just go on to the next step right now | 0:06:11 | 0:06:14 | |
based on the training that you've already done. | 0:06:14 | 0:06:16 | |
Right, so what we want to do here | 0:06:16 | 0:06:18 | |
is we want to encourage Rosie to get up here. | 0:06:18 | 0:06:20 | |
You'll have to brace, you might have to use your hands. | 0:06:20 | 0:06:23 | |
It requires a lot of talent on the human's part to do this. | 0:06:23 | 0:06:26 | |
Rosie. Sit, stay. | 0:06:26 | 0:06:28 | |
Louise really impressed Zak at the Try-outs | 0:06:28 | 0:06:31 | |
with her dog training expertise | 0:06:31 | 0:06:33 | |
and it looks like she is about to do it again. | 0:06:33 | 0:06:35 | |
-Good. -I want you to really celebrate when she makes it up here. | 0:06:35 | 0:06:38 | |
-Come on! -You've got to hold this steady there. -Get up! | 0:06:38 | 0:06:43 | |
-Yes! Good, good job! -Yeah! -All right, wonderful job! | 0:06:43 | 0:06:46 | |
See, right there, see that genuine energy? | 0:06:46 | 0:06:48 | |
That's what we're looking for, how we communicate with dogs. | 0:06:48 | 0:06:51 | |
Good girl! | 0:06:51 | 0:06:52 | |
Louise and Rosie are well on their way to completing the knee stall, | 0:06:52 | 0:06:56 | |
but Zak thinks the other teams need a little bit more practice | 0:06:56 | 0:06:59 | |
before they can move onto having boxes on their knees. | 0:06:59 | 0:07:03 | |
While these guys are training hard, I'm going to put my feet up | 0:07:07 | 0:07:10 | |
and watch some dogs who would make amazing undercover spy dogs. | 0:07:10 | 0:07:13 | |
This is strictly classified, | 0:07:13 | 0:07:17 | |
but some dogs lead a double life. | 0:07:17 | 0:07:19 | |
The life of a spy. | 0:07:19 | 0:07:23 | |
To be a spy requires nerves of steel... | 0:07:23 | 0:07:25 | |
..technical expertise... | 0:07:28 | 0:07:30 | |
..high levels of fitness | 0:07:32 | 0:07:36 | |
and a fast car. | 0:07:36 | 0:07:38 | |
Spies never lose their cool, | 0:07:40 | 0:07:43 | |
even when battling their archenemies. | 0:07:43 | 0:07:47 | |
But you can't be called a real spy | 0:07:48 | 0:07:51 | |
until you've come face to face | 0:07:51 | 0:07:54 | |
with an evil mastermind. | 0:07:54 | 0:07:56 | |
Still to come on Who Let the Dogs Out? | 0:08:01 | 0:08:03 | |
We've got a podgy pooch who needs to cut out the calories. | 0:08:03 | 0:08:06 | |
Zak's Quick Trick is literally rubbish. | 0:08:06 | 0:08:09 | |
And which of our three young trainers | 0:08:09 | 0:08:11 | |
can tip the balance in their favour | 0:08:11 | 0:08:13 | |
to continue their journey to become Top Dog Trainer? | 0:08:13 | 0:08:16 | |
Back at training, it looks like Genevieve and Monty | 0:08:18 | 0:08:21 | |
have decided to move on to the next step with the boxes on their knees. | 0:08:21 | 0:08:25 | |
See what happened just there, cos it wasn't very stable. | 0:08:25 | 0:08:28 | |
Now, he's a little more reluctant to get up there. | 0:08:28 | 0:08:31 | |
That's OK, you just need to be patient | 0:08:31 | 0:08:33 | |
-and understand that, you know what I mean? -Yeah. | 0:08:33 | 0:08:36 | |
Why don't you put him back on the ground to rebuild up his confidence? | 0:08:36 | 0:08:39 | |
That's what dog training is about. | 0:08:39 | 0:08:41 | |
Sometimes, you have to return to the former step and work on the next one. | 0:08:41 | 0:08:45 | |
Oh, dear, looks like Genevieve and Monty are back to square one. | 0:08:45 | 0:08:48 | |
Once he's up there, you can move it around a little bit. | 0:08:48 | 0:08:51 | |
If you can be successful in getting it off the ground, like this... | 0:08:51 | 0:08:55 | |
-I think you're strong enough to lift it, aren't you? -Yeah. -Yeah. | 0:08:55 | 0:08:58 | |
-Come here. -Good boy. -Very good. And let's try and lift it. | 0:08:58 | 0:09:02 | |
Yes! Good, almost. I want you to keep working on that right now, OK? | 0:09:02 | 0:09:06 | |
I wonder if Louise and Rosie are doing any better. | 0:09:06 | 0:09:09 | |
-Rosie, Rosie! -Yes, good! | 0:09:09 | 0:09:12 | |
Louise is doing really well, even with a big dog like Rosie. | 0:09:12 | 0:09:15 | |
Louise and Rosie are looking very good. | 0:09:15 | 0:09:18 | |
And let me come over here, Millie and Tickle. What's new? | 0:09:18 | 0:09:21 | |
-Any progress? -Um... Yes, she's standing on it. | 0:09:21 | 0:09:23 | |
-OK, go ahead and put her on your knees. -Tick! Go on, up! | 0:09:23 | 0:09:27 | |
-Good girl! -Stay. -Stay. | 0:09:27 | 0:09:28 | |
-Good! -Stay. -Make sure you're very clear. | 0:09:28 | 0:09:31 | |
When she's up there, "Yes, I like that!" | 0:09:31 | 0:09:33 | |
And if you want to reward her while she's up there, great. | 0:09:33 | 0:09:36 | |
Good girl! | 0:09:36 | 0:09:37 | |
I think me and Tickle are going to do really well, | 0:09:37 | 0:09:40 | |
because she's concentrating and doing everything | 0:09:40 | 0:09:43 | |
that I'm telling her to do. | 0:09:43 | 0:09:46 | |
The progress that I made this morning was really good. | 0:09:46 | 0:09:50 | |
I got more than half way there, | 0:09:50 | 0:09:52 | |
cos I got her to balance on the box. | 0:09:52 | 0:09:55 | |
Monty should probably do it, | 0:09:55 | 0:09:58 | |
but you can't really tell with him, | 0:09:58 | 0:10:00 | |
he's just this kind of dog which does what he wants. | 0:10:00 | 0:10:04 | |
By next time, I'd really, really like your dogs balancing on that box, | 0:10:04 | 0:10:08 | |
on your knees with at least one paw on your hand. | 0:10:08 | 0:10:11 | |
OK. | 0:10:11 | 0:10:12 | |
-Keep up the good work and we'll see you in a week. -OK. -OK. | 0:10:12 | 0:10:15 | |
ALL: Bye! | 0:10:15 | 0:10:16 | |
Rosie, Tickle and Monty Zoom all look pretty different, | 0:10:17 | 0:10:21 | |
but let's take a look at their mutt measurements | 0:10:21 | 0:10:23 | |
and see what they're all about. | 0:10:23 | 0:10:25 | |
Rosie is a one-year-and-ten-month-old | 0:10:25 | 0:10:27 | |
Border Collie. | 0:10:27 | 0:10:28 | |
Collies are often clever and daring | 0:10:28 | 0:10:31 | |
and Rosie is no exception. | 0:10:31 | 0:10:32 | |
She's not afraid of stunts - | 0:10:32 | 0:10:34 | |
she once tried to get | 0:10:34 | 0:10:36 | |
into a fish tank! | 0:10:36 | 0:10:37 | |
But will Rosie apply the same daredevil approach to knee stall? | 0:10:37 | 0:10:41 | |
Tickle is a four-year-old Jack Russell. | 0:10:41 | 0:10:43 | |
She can't live | 0:10:43 | 0:10:45 | |
without her pink tuggy toy | 0:10:45 | 0:10:46 | |
and is a big fan of sausages. | 0:10:46 | 0:10:48 | |
Now, Jack Russells | 0:10:48 | 0:10:49 | |
are usually very energetic, | 0:10:49 | 0:10:51 | |
which explains why Tickle loves chasing birds in the garden. | 0:10:51 | 0:10:54 | |
But will Tickle the terrier manage to chase off the opposition? | 0:10:54 | 0:10:58 | |
Monty Zoom is a two-year-old Papillon. | 0:10:58 | 0:11:00 | |
He gets his breed name from the French word for butterfly | 0:11:00 | 0:11:03 | |
because of the shape of his ears. | 0:11:03 | 0:11:05 | |
He likes nothing more | 0:11:05 | 0:11:07 | |
than hiding under the rug | 0:11:07 | 0:11:08 | |
and pretending no-one can see him. | 0:11:08 | 0:11:10 | |
Let's hope Monty Zoom doesn't try and hide | 0:11:10 | 0:11:13 | |
when it comes to Showtime. | 0:11:13 | 0:11:15 | |
One week later, and the teams have returned to the Dog House. | 0:11:19 | 0:11:22 | |
It looks like all the dogs have progressed well with their training. | 0:11:22 | 0:11:26 | |
I wonder if Zak will be impressed. | 0:11:26 | 0:11:28 | |
Look at you, guys, looking fantastic over here! | 0:11:30 | 0:11:34 | |
Wonderful work! | 0:11:34 | 0:11:35 | |
So, today, what we're going to do, guys, is | 0:11:35 | 0:11:37 | |
we'll focus on going onto the next level with this trick. | 0:11:37 | 0:11:40 | |
What we want to do is to phase that box out completely | 0:11:40 | 0:11:43 | |
till our dogs have their hind legs on just our knees. | 0:11:43 | 0:11:46 | |
Does that make sense? | 0:11:46 | 0:11:47 | |
-Yeah. -Fantastic. | 0:11:47 | 0:11:49 | |
Let's go ahead and lose the box, hold on the leash there. Good. | 0:11:49 | 0:11:52 | |
Let's go ahead and encourage Monty Zoom to now get on to your knees. | 0:11:52 | 0:11:57 | |
And this, this requires a lot of skill on our part as humans as well. | 0:11:57 | 0:12:01 | |
Not so easy now that Monty Zooms only got knee pads to balance on. | 0:12:01 | 0:12:04 | |
Look at this. | 0:12:04 | 0:12:05 | |
I want you to really focus on going on your knees completely. | 0:12:05 | 0:12:08 | |
-Reward big there. -Good boy! | 0:12:08 | 0:12:10 | |
-Is that the first time Monty Zoom has done this just on your knees? -Yeah. | 0:12:10 | 0:12:13 | |
-Give him a jackpot reward, a mega reward. -Good boy! | 0:12:13 | 0:12:16 | |
Keep working on that for today. One paw on your hand would be bonus, | 0:12:16 | 0:12:19 | |
but I'm not going to hold my breath on that. Just keep on working... | 0:12:19 | 0:12:23 | |
Zak doesn't sound very optimistic, but Genevieve looks determined. | 0:12:23 | 0:12:26 | |
Millie, let's see if we can get Tickle on your knees, | 0:12:26 | 0:12:29 | |
just on your knees without the box now. | 0:12:29 | 0:12:31 | |
Up! Come on, up, up! | 0:12:31 | 0:12:33 | |
Just focus on keeping your knees very stable. You know what? | 0:12:33 | 0:12:36 | |
I'm going to actually pick her up and encourage her to do this. | 0:12:36 | 0:12:39 | |
If Tickle can do a knee stall without the box, | 0:12:39 | 0:12:41 | |
it'd be a massive improvement. | 0:12:41 | 0:12:43 | |
Put your hand over here now. | 0:12:43 | 0:12:44 | |
Try to put her paw over here. | 0:12:44 | 0:12:47 | |
Yes! | 0:12:47 | 0:12:48 | |
Wow! Incredible! | 0:12:48 | 0:12:49 | |
Look at that! Fantastic! | 0:12:49 | 0:12:53 | |
Really good work! | 0:12:53 | 0:12:55 | |
She's done it! Only for a few seconds, but good job, Tickle! | 0:12:55 | 0:12:59 | |
I wonder how expert dog trainer Louise is getting on. | 0:12:59 | 0:13:03 | |
-Hey, Louise! -Hiya! -How are you? -Fine, thanks. -Very good. | 0:13:03 | 0:13:07 | |
You've already skipped and got rid of the box? | 0:13:07 | 0:13:09 | |
-I've been doing it in a different way. -You have. | 0:13:09 | 0:13:12 | |
-Show me what you've done. -Rosie! | 0:13:12 | 0:13:14 | |
Why are you putting a treat in your mouth? | 0:13:14 | 0:13:16 | |
I'll show you. | 0:13:16 | 0:13:17 | |
Walk on! | 0:13:17 | 0:13:18 | |
Looks like Louise has taken the training into her own hands. | 0:13:18 | 0:13:21 | |
Good, good. Rosie, Rosie, Rosie. | 0:13:21 | 0:13:23 | |
-I see now, you're having her walk back. -Uh-huh. | 0:13:23 | 0:13:25 | |
Good, good! Walk back. Good! | 0:13:25 | 0:13:28 | |
What was that?! | 0:13:28 | 0:13:30 | |
-Are you serious? -Rosie, come! | 0:13:30 | 0:13:32 | |
That's a traditional dog training technique. | 0:13:32 | 0:13:35 | |
To teach our dogs to look at our face. | 0:13:35 | 0:13:37 | |
A lot of trainers would do that, they'll put a treat in their mouth. | 0:13:37 | 0:13:40 | |
Be careful not to choke on the treat, though. | 0:13:40 | 0:13:42 | |
Yes, kids - don't try that at home. | 0:13:42 | 0:13:45 | |
Walk on, walk on. | 0:13:46 | 0:13:47 | |
Good, good. Walk back! Walk back. | 0:13:47 | 0:13:50 | |
-Back! Walk back! -It's OK. | 0:13:50 | 0:13:53 | |
And right there, I mean, let her know that she did the right thing. | 0:13:53 | 0:13:56 | |
-You've done this. -Good girl! -Cos she took one step back. Know what I mean? | 0:13:56 | 0:14:00 | |
This is a very strange training technique, but it might just work. | 0:14:00 | 0:14:04 | |
You have about a week to practise here, | 0:14:04 | 0:14:06 | |
so I want you to keep working with your dogs. | 0:14:06 | 0:14:08 | |
All of you have a fairly long way to go, | 0:14:08 | 0:14:10 | |
but I'm very encouraged by where you are now in the trick. | 0:14:10 | 0:14:13 | |
It is a really tough trick. | 0:14:13 | 0:14:15 | |
I will see you right here at the Dog House for Showtime. | 0:14:15 | 0:14:18 | |
Keep up the good work. Bye, guys! | 0:14:18 | 0:14:20 | |
ALL: Bye! | 0:14:20 | 0:14:21 | |
Knee stall is one of the most difficult dog stunts to master, | 0:14:22 | 0:14:26 | |
but if you're willing to put in the hours, | 0:14:26 | 0:14:28 | |
the rewards are well worth it. | 0:14:28 | 0:14:30 | |
Here are Zak's five steps to mastering the knee stall. | 0:14:30 | 0:14:33 | |
One. Encourage your dog to jump onto a small stable box. | 0:14:33 | 0:14:37 | |
Two. Once your dog is happy jumping onto the box, | 0:14:37 | 0:14:40 | |
try moving the box around or even lifting it. | 0:14:40 | 0:14:44 | |
Three. Once your dog is comfortable with this, | 0:14:44 | 0:14:47 | |
try lying on the ground and place the box on your knees. | 0:14:47 | 0:14:50 | |
Four. Encourage your dog to place its back paws on the box | 0:14:50 | 0:14:55 | |
and its front paws on your hands. | 0:14:55 | 0:14:57 | |
Five. Gradually phase out the box | 0:14:57 | 0:14:59 | |
and encourage your dog to jump straight onto your knees | 0:14:59 | 0:15:02 | |
and see how long you can hold them up there for. | 0:15:02 | 0:15:04 | |
It's also a good idea to wear some kneepads and some gloves | 0:15:04 | 0:15:07 | |
so you don't get scratched. | 0:15:07 | 0:15:09 | |
I think Rosie will pull it together for the finale | 0:15:09 | 0:15:12 | |
because she would have learned what she's meant to do properly. | 0:15:12 | 0:15:16 | |
I think she's going to be really good at training this week, | 0:15:16 | 0:15:20 | |
because she knows what she's got to do. | 0:15:20 | 0:15:23 | |
I am a bit nervous, but I shouldn't really be worried. | 0:15:23 | 0:15:26 | |
He's a good dog and I think he'll be able to do that. | 0:15:26 | 0:15:30 | |
I'll show you how to teach your dog to put the litter in the bin today. | 0:15:34 | 0:15:37 | |
Come on, Nelly, look what I got! | 0:15:37 | 0:15:40 | |
I have treats, we're going to have fun! It's good! Sit. Nice! | 0:15:40 | 0:15:44 | |
So I put Nelly into a sit there, | 0:15:44 | 0:15:46 | |
just to let her know we're going to do a new trick. | 0:15:46 | 0:15:48 | |
And I've got this piece of paper. | 0:15:48 | 0:15:50 | |
Now, the key to this is making this paper fun. | 0:15:50 | 0:15:53 | |
Dogs don't know that paper isn't fun, so we'll show them it is. Come on! | 0:15:53 | 0:15:58 | |
Good! Get that! Very good! Now, she's bringing it to me. | 0:15:58 | 0:16:00 | |
Can I have it? Good! | 0:16:00 | 0:16:02 | |
And, in Nelly's case, she would actually fetch for food, | 0:16:02 | 0:16:05 | |
so I'm going to give her a little bit of food. | 0:16:05 | 0:16:08 | |
But if you make the paper the real toy, that's just as well. | 0:16:08 | 0:16:11 | |
Very good, here we go! Nelly, what's this? | 0:16:11 | 0:16:13 | |
Go and get it! All right. | 0:16:13 | 0:16:15 | |
And she might even destroy the paper. | 0:16:15 | 0:16:17 | |
And I'm going to try and catch it with the bin. | 0:16:17 | 0:16:20 | |
Very good, Nelly, fantastic job! | 0:16:20 | 0:16:21 | |
When she starts doing this really well, I'll say, | 0:16:21 | 0:16:24 | |
"Throw your litter away." | 0:16:24 | 0:16:25 | |
Go get that litter. | 0:16:25 | 0:16:27 | |
Bring the litter to me, come on. | 0:16:27 | 0:16:29 | |
I'm teaching her language here. Throw your litter away, good! | 0:16:29 | 0:16:32 | |
Giving her an extra big reward for that. | 0:16:32 | 0:16:34 | |
I think we're at the point where I can leave it here, | 0:16:34 | 0:16:36 | |
and she might throw it away on her own. | 0:16:36 | 0:16:38 | |
Let's see. Go get it! | 0:16:38 | 0:16:40 | |
Nelly, come here, angel, over here! | 0:16:40 | 0:16:42 | |
Throw your litter away. | 0:16:42 | 0:16:44 | |
And it is that simple! | 0:16:44 | 0:16:46 | |
Nel, you are just a superstar! | 0:16:46 | 0:16:48 | |
Dogs, like us, need to eat healthy food and have lots of exercise. | 0:16:53 | 0:16:57 | |
But you know what? Some pups can really pile on the pounds. | 0:16:57 | 0:17:01 | |
Meet Madison, | 0:17:04 | 0:17:06 | |
a dog who loves her food but doesn't watch her waistline. | 0:17:06 | 0:17:10 | |
Time to get Maddie back in shape | 0:17:10 | 0:17:13 | |
with the help of a team of experts from the Pet Fit Club. | 0:17:13 | 0:17:18 | |
She weighs about 52 kilos. | 0:17:18 | 0:17:20 | |
We're hoping that with the weight reduction plan, | 0:17:20 | 0:17:22 | |
she'll go down to about 42 kilos. | 0:17:22 | 0:17:24 | |
That's about a 20% drop in weight. | 0:17:24 | 0:17:26 | |
Maddie is placed on a strict diet and exercise programme | 0:17:26 | 0:17:30 | |
with regular weigh-ins to make sure she's sticking to the programme. | 0:17:30 | 0:17:35 | |
Six months on, and it's time for the grand weigh-in. | 0:17:35 | 0:17:38 | |
And it's great news! | 0:17:38 | 0:17:40 | |
Maddie has reached her target weight loss - ten kilos! | 0:17:40 | 0:17:43 | |
That is the same weight as all these cans of dog food. | 0:17:43 | 0:17:46 | |
She was very lethargic and listless. | 0:17:46 | 0:17:49 | |
She now enjoys playing with the other dogs, | 0:17:49 | 0:17:51 | |
chasing squirrels, playing with the ball. | 0:17:51 | 0:17:54 | |
She's a completely different dog. | 0:17:54 | 0:17:56 | |
Wow! Well done, Maddie! | 0:17:56 | 0:17:58 | |
What a transformation! | 0:17:58 | 0:18:00 | |
Two weeks of intensive training is over | 0:18:04 | 0:18:08 | |
and it's now time for our three trainers | 0:18:08 | 0:18:11 | |
to battle it out for a place in the quarterfinals. | 0:18:11 | 0:18:14 | |
The stakes are high and with just one place up for grabs, | 0:18:16 | 0:18:19 | |
nothing is guaranteed. | 0:18:19 | 0:18:21 | |
I'm really comfortable about going into the quarterfinals, | 0:18:21 | 0:18:25 | |
because she's been doing very well at getting onto my hands | 0:18:25 | 0:18:29 | |
and then reversing up onto my knees. | 0:18:29 | 0:18:31 | |
So, who will keep their focus? | 0:18:31 | 0:18:33 | |
I'm most worried about Monty getting bored, | 0:18:33 | 0:18:35 | |
cos he's the sort of dog that's so clever, and who thinks, | 0:18:35 | 0:18:38 | |
"Why do I want to do this? | 0:18:38 | 0:18:40 | |
"When I could just jump down, eat the treats..." | 0:18:40 | 0:18:43 | |
And who will jump straight into the quarterfinal? | 0:18:43 | 0:18:46 | |
My training at home has been going really well, | 0:18:46 | 0:18:50 | |
because she's doing what she's been told | 0:18:50 | 0:18:53 | |
and she's doing the trick right. | 0:18:53 | 0:18:56 | |
It's time to find out. | 0:18:58 | 0:19:00 | |
It's Showtime for our knee stall dogs and there's a LOT at stake. | 0:19:04 | 0:19:09 | |
Now, since the teams have been doing so well, | 0:19:09 | 0:19:11 | |
we've decided to award extra bonus points | 0:19:11 | 0:19:14 | |
if they can do the stunt on three paws. | 0:19:14 | 0:19:17 | |
Would any of them be brave enough to try it? We are about to find out. | 0:19:17 | 0:19:21 | |
So our teams will get one point | 0:19:21 | 0:19:24 | |
for every second of their knee stall | 0:19:24 | 0:19:26 | |
and if they manage | 0:19:26 | 0:19:28 | |
to balance on three paws | 0:19:28 | 0:19:29 | |
for more than three seconds, | 0:19:29 | 0:19:30 | |
they will double their points. | 0:19:30 | 0:19:33 | |
First to attempt the challenge are Millie and Tickle. | 0:19:33 | 0:19:36 | |
Millie struggled to get Tickle to focus during training day one, | 0:19:36 | 0:19:40 | |
but by day two, they soon got the hang of it. | 0:19:40 | 0:19:43 | |
The question is... | 0:19:43 | 0:19:45 | |
are they good enough to make it through to the next round? | 0:19:45 | 0:19:48 | |
I'm really confident. I think I can win it. | 0:19:48 | 0:19:51 | |
Oh, it's a beautiful jump up and Tickle's straight into position. | 0:19:53 | 0:19:58 | |
-Start! -We have a knee stall, | 0:19:58 | 0:19:59 | |
but how long can they hold it? | 0:19:59 | 0:20:02 | |
Wow! They've done it on three paws. | 0:20:02 | 0:20:05 | |
That means their score will be doubled. | 0:20:05 | 0:20:08 | |
A minute later and they're still going, this is amazing! | 0:20:08 | 0:20:12 | |
BEEP | 0:20:13 | 0:20:15 | |
Oh, she's fallen off! | 0:20:15 | 0:20:16 | |
But it's a brilliant start for Millie and Tickle. | 0:20:16 | 0:20:19 | |
-Really, really nice work, Millie, very good. -Good girl! | 0:20:19 | 0:20:22 | |
Next up are Louise and Rosie. | 0:20:22 | 0:20:26 | |
From the very beginning, Louise and Rosie were the ones to beat. | 0:20:26 | 0:20:30 | |
They progressed really quickly. Louise even started | 0:20:30 | 0:20:33 | |
training Rosie with a different technique to the others. | 0:20:33 | 0:20:36 | |
But will it have worked? | 0:20:36 | 0:20:38 | |
It will mean a lot to me if she gets through to the next round, | 0:20:40 | 0:20:43 | |
cos I've come all this way | 0:20:43 | 0:20:44 | |
and it'd be a disappointment not to, like, get through. | 0:20:44 | 0:20:47 | |
Louise's technique definitely looks complicated. | 0:20:49 | 0:20:54 | |
Walk back! | 0:20:54 | 0:20:56 | |
Rosie needs to put her paws in Louise's hands soon | 0:20:56 | 0:20:59 | |
or their turn will be over. | 0:20:59 | 0:21:00 | |
Oh, no! Her back legs have slipped off Louise's knees. | 0:21:00 | 0:21:04 | |
This is not going well. | 0:21:04 | 0:21:05 | |
BEEP | 0:21:05 | 0:21:07 | |
That is the end of your attempt. | 0:21:07 | 0:21:09 | |
Luckily, Louise and Rosie still have two more attempts. | 0:21:09 | 0:21:14 | |
Next up are Genevieve and Monty Zoom. | 0:21:14 | 0:21:17 | |
At the beginning of training, Monty managed to stay on top of the box, | 0:21:19 | 0:21:22 | |
but struggled to stay on Genevieve's knees. | 0:21:22 | 0:21:25 | |
Have they even managed to learn the stunt? | 0:21:25 | 0:21:28 | |
It'd mean quite a lot to me to get through to the next round, | 0:21:28 | 0:21:31 | |
because I love training Monty and he's my best boy. | 0:21:31 | 0:21:35 | |
-He's keen! -Wait, wait! | 0:21:35 | 0:21:37 | |
This is a good sign for Genevieve and Monty. | 0:21:37 | 0:21:39 | |
Would you believe it! | 0:21:45 | 0:21:46 | |
-They're doing a knee stall! -Good boy! | 0:21:46 | 0:21:49 | |
It looks like Monty's having a three-course lunch, | 0:21:49 | 0:21:52 | |
that's a great trick for keeping him up there. | 0:21:52 | 0:21:54 | |
They're at 50 seconds. | 0:21:54 | 0:21:56 | |
BEEP | 0:21:58 | 0:21:59 | |
Oh, no! His foot slipped. | 0:21:59 | 0:22:01 | |
That is the end of your first attempt. Very nice work, very good. | 0:22:01 | 0:22:04 | |
Monty, come! | 0:22:04 | 0:22:06 | |
So let's have a look at the Leader Board. | 0:22:06 | 0:22:08 | |
Millie and Tickle are in the lead with 144 points. | 0:22:08 | 0:22:12 | |
They got a point for each of their 72 seconds, | 0:22:12 | 0:22:15 | |
which was then doubled because of their three-paw knee stall. | 0:22:15 | 0:22:18 | |
But can they keep their lead in the competition? | 0:22:18 | 0:22:22 | |
It's time for the second round of attempts. | 0:22:22 | 0:22:24 | |
Start! | 0:22:24 | 0:22:26 | |
Again, they're straight into a perfect knee stall. | 0:22:26 | 0:22:28 | |
That won't count as a three-paw knee stall | 0:22:31 | 0:22:33 | |
because it didn't last three seconds. | 0:22:33 | 0:22:35 | |
Ooh, well recovered, Millie, that was a close one. | 0:22:35 | 0:22:38 | |
Millie is trying again | 0:22:41 | 0:22:43 | |
for a three-paw knee stall, | 0:22:43 | 0:22:45 | |
but it doesn't last three seconds and won't count. | 0:22:45 | 0:22:48 | |
BEEP | 0:22:48 | 0:22:49 | |
That's the end of your second attempt. | 0:22:49 | 0:22:51 | |
It was very good. | 0:22:51 | 0:22:53 | |
It's good, but it's not better than their first attempt. | 0:22:53 | 0:22:56 | |
Next are Louise and Rosie. | 0:22:56 | 0:22:58 | |
They didn't score any points in their first attempt, | 0:22:58 | 0:23:01 | |
let's hope they can do better now. | 0:23:01 | 0:23:03 | |
Rosie, this one! | 0:23:03 | 0:23:04 | |
Louise is trying really hard. | 0:23:04 | 0:23:07 | |
Start, please. | 0:23:07 | 0:23:09 | |
Yes, that's a knee stall! Good work. | 0:23:09 | 0:23:11 | |
-Stay. -This is great. | 0:23:11 | 0:23:13 | |
Over a minute and a half later | 0:23:13 | 0:23:15 | |
and they're still going. | 0:23:15 | 0:23:17 | |
Stay, stay! | 0:23:17 | 0:23:20 | |
Stay. | 0:23:20 | 0:23:21 | |
I don't believe it! They're going for a three-paw knee stall. | 0:23:21 | 0:23:24 | |
Really impressive, considering Rosie is such a large dog. | 0:23:24 | 0:23:27 | |
Double points. Well done, | 0:23:30 | 0:23:31 | |
That's going to be a big score! | 0:23:31 | 0:23:34 | |
Yes, yes! | 0:23:34 | 0:23:35 | |
OK, so Genevieve and Monty are next up for their second attempt. | 0:23:38 | 0:23:41 | |
OK, start. | 0:23:41 | 0:23:43 | |
Looks like Monty is so interested in the treat, | 0:23:43 | 0:23:45 | |
he's forgotten he's even doing a knee stall. | 0:23:45 | 0:23:48 | |
Great! He's a good boy! | 0:23:48 | 0:23:51 | |
Yes, three paws! | 0:23:51 | 0:23:53 | |
That will double their score. | 0:23:53 | 0:23:55 | |
Good boy! | 0:23:55 | 0:23:57 | |
Well over a minute now | 0:23:57 | 0:23:59 | |
and they're still up there. | 0:23:59 | 0:24:01 | |
BEEP | 0:24:03 | 0:24:04 | |
Oh, he's off! | 0:24:04 | 0:24:06 | |
But another impressive attempt from Genevieve and Monty Zoom. | 0:24:06 | 0:24:09 | |
-Really, really good work. That was very impressive. -Good boy! | 0:24:09 | 0:24:14 | |
So after everyone's second attempt, | 0:24:14 | 0:24:16 | |
the leaders have changed. | 0:24:16 | 0:24:17 | |
Louise and Rosie are now in front | 0:24:17 | 0:24:19 | |
with 234 points, | 0:24:19 | 0:24:21 | |
but the teams still have one more attempt and everything to play for. | 0:24:21 | 0:24:25 | |
On! | 0:24:25 | 0:24:26 | |
Start. | 0:24:28 | 0:24:29 | |
Can Millie and Tickle get back into the lead? | 0:24:29 | 0:24:32 | |
Another good start. | 0:24:32 | 0:24:34 | |
Whatever the treat in her hand is, | 0:24:34 | 0:24:36 | |
it's got Tickle's attention. | 0:24:36 | 0:24:39 | |
And they've managed another three-pawed knee stall, | 0:24:41 | 0:24:44 | |
they've doubled their points again. | 0:24:44 | 0:24:46 | |
They're up to 20 seconds now. | 0:24:46 | 0:24:48 | |
BEEP | 0:24:48 | 0:24:49 | |
Oh! Tickle's had enough, but I'm not sure that's enough to win. | 0:24:49 | 0:24:53 | |
Last attempt for Louise and Rosie. | 0:24:53 | 0:24:55 | |
Stay. | 0:24:55 | 0:24:57 | |
Good! | 0:24:57 | 0:24:59 | |
No problems getting into the knee stall position. | 0:24:59 | 0:25:02 | |
They made a fantastic comeback | 0:25:02 | 0:25:04 | |
-at their second attempt to take the lead. -Stay! | 0:25:04 | 0:25:07 | |
Can they do even better? | 0:25:07 | 0:25:08 | |
Stay. | 0:25:08 | 0:25:10 | |
They're almost at two minutes, | 0:25:10 | 0:25:12 | |
but they haven't got any bonus points yet | 0:25:12 | 0:25:14 | |
cos they haven't done a three-pawed knee stall. | 0:25:14 | 0:25:17 | |
BEEP | 0:25:17 | 0:25:18 | |
He's come off your knee over here, | 0:25:18 | 0:25:20 | |
that's the end of your attempt. | 0:25:20 | 0:25:22 | |
-Really nice work, very good! -Yeah! | 0:25:22 | 0:25:26 | |
So with just Genevieve and Monty left to go, | 0:25:26 | 0:25:29 | |
it's Louise and Rosie that are still | 0:25:29 | 0:25:30 | |
in the lead with 234 points, | 0:25:30 | 0:25:32 | |
but will that be enough to take them into the next round? | 0:25:32 | 0:25:35 | |
Remember - it's one point for every second of the knee stall | 0:25:37 | 0:25:40 | |
and double points for doing it on three paws. | 0:25:40 | 0:25:43 | |
-Here goes. -Start! | 0:25:43 | 0:25:46 | |
It looks like Genevieve's | 0:25:46 | 0:25:47 | |
got an extra big treat | 0:25:47 | 0:25:49 | |
to keep Monty focussed, | 0:25:49 | 0:25:50 | |
and they've done a three-pawed knee stall! | 0:25:50 | 0:25:53 | |
Now, all their points will be doubled. | 0:25:53 | 0:25:55 | |
That's a great start! | 0:25:55 | 0:25:56 | |
Two minutes later and they're still going, | 0:25:59 | 0:26:01 | |
this is phenomenal! | 0:26:01 | 0:26:03 | |
It looks like he's had enough of the treat - he's off! | 0:26:04 | 0:26:07 | |
BEEP | 0:26:07 | 0:26:08 | |
-Good boy! -Nice work. Very, very good work! | 0:26:08 | 0:26:10 | |
But have they done enough to win? | 0:26:10 | 0:26:12 | |
I am so proud of all of you. | 0:26:16 | 0:26:18 | |
You all broke through the knee stall with your dog. | 0:26:18 | 0:26:21 | |
You built up trust, your communication with them was awesome, | 0:26:21 | 0:26:24 | |
so you've all succeeded in that. | 0:26:24 | 0:26:26 | |
I just could not be more proud of each and every one of you. | 0:26:26 | 0:26:29 | |
But I can now reveal | 0:26:29 | 0:26:31 | |
that the winner of today's knee stall challenge | 0:26:31 | 0:26:34 | |
and the team that will move on | 0:26:34 | 0:26:36 | |
to the Who Let The Dogs Out? Quarterfinals is... | 0:26:36 | 0:26:39 | |
Genevieve and Monty Zoom! | 0:26:45 | 0:26:47 | |
Congratulations, | 0:26:47 | 0:26:48 | |
you did a fantastic job! | 0:26:48 | 0:26:50 | |
I couldn't be more proud of you! | 0:26:50 | 0:26:52 | |
I'm serious, you guys were incredible out there today! | 0:26:52 | 0:26:55 | |
-Tell me how you feel. -Um... | 0:26:55 | 0:26:57 | |
I'm so proud of Monty and... | 0:26:57 | 0:26:59 | |
I think everyone else did really well and I'm... | 0:26:59 | 0:27:03 | |
-Speechless! -Yeah! | 0:27:03 | 0:27:05 | |
-Yeah! -But, seriously, guys, give your dogs some love. | 0:27:05 | 0:27:08 | |
Let them know they did a great job, honestly. | 0:27:08 | 0:27:11 | |
So Genevieve and Monty Zoom | 0:27:13 | 0:27:15 | |
are the last team to leap into the quarterfinals. | 0:27:15 | 0:27:17 | |
Next time, on Who Let the Dogs Out? | 0:27:17 | 0:27:19 | |
It's the very first quarterfinal. | 0:27:19 | 0:27:21 | |
So we'll see some familiar faces and even more difficult stunts. | 0:27:21 | 0:27:25 | |
Don't miss it! | 0:27:25 | 0:27:26 | |
Nice work, guys! | 0:27:26 | 0:27:29 | |
Next time, on Who Let the Dogs Out? | 0:27:29 | 0:27:31 | |
Katie and Twilight, | 0:27:31 | 0:27:32 | |
Jake and Ice, and Kimmie and Millie are back | 0:27:32 | 0:27:34 | |
to battle it out for a place in the semifinals! | 0:27:34 | 0:27:38 | |
You will be part of the elite three if you win tomorrow, | 0:27:38 | 0:27:41 | |
so there is a lot at stake. | 0:27:41 | 0:27:43 | |
So watch it, you! | 0:27:43 | 0:27:45 | |
I feel quite sad that we didn't make it through, | 0:27:45 | 0:27:48 | |
cos it's been really good. It was fun. | 0:27:48 | 0:27:51 | |
I feel really excited, cos Tickle did it really well. | 0:27:51 | 0:27:54 | |
I wish Genevieve luck for the next round. | 0:27:54 | 0:27:58 | |
I'm so proud of Monty, he's the best dog in the world. | 0:27:58 | 0:28:01 | |
He's so clever and everything a dog should be. | 0:28:01 | 0:28:05 | |
