The Final Who Let the Dogs Out?

Hundreds applied, but just 27 made it to the Dog House.

Our heroic trainers and their dogs have learnt

some of the most incredible dog stunts seen on television.

But now just three teams remain.

This is it.

Ellie and Ruby, Katie and Dazzle and Hannah and Jake

have made it all the way to the final.

Just one question remains...who will win the Top Dog Trainer Trophy?

# Who let the dogs out? Woof! Woof! Woof! Woof!

# Who let the dogs out? Woof! Woof! Woof! Woof!

# Who let the dogs out? Woof! Woof! Woof! Woof!

# Who let the dogs out? Woof! Woof! Woof! Woof!

# Who let the dogs out? Woof! Woof! Woof! Woof!

# Who let the dogs out? #

I am so excited about the final.

We have three amazing dogs and... BOING! BOING!

What on earth are you doing?

It's fun. They're really squishy.

There is no way me and Pudsey are getting on one of those.

We've said no to the bike, no to the wheelbarrow and no to the scooter.

Fine...I'll get the buggy.

Only three of our teams remain

and today is going to be super exciting

because they get to decide which stunts they perform.

Let's see them in action.

Ellie and Ruby from Manchester shopped to success

in their trolley heat.

Good girl.

Ruby may be small, but she proved in this challenge

that size does not matter.

-Well done!

-Good girl.

Ellie was worried about getting stage fright

in the magic semi-final.

I can't think where she might have gotten to.

But she pulled off the performance of her life

and Ruby didn't do too badly either.

She's back! Give them a wave.

Ruby is clever and quick,

and if Ellie can deliver another Oscar-winning performance

in today's final, that trophy could be theirs.

I think the finals are going to be really tough

because the other dogs are really good,

and I don't know whether she can do it.

Katie and Dazzle from Northern Ireland

were the very last team

to try out for Ashleigh and prove that last does not mean least

when they secured a place at the Dog House.

That was perfect.

Despite Dazzle getting distracted in their heat,

this team catapulted themselves into the semi-finals.

Go! Go! Go!

Katie kept Dazzle's focus up

and both dazzled in the movie semi-final.

Dazzle is energetic and intelligent

and if Katie can keep her attention

these two have a great chance of winning that trophy.

I feel amazing about making it to the finals,

because I never thought I would get this far,

but me and Dazzle tried really hard and we have got it.

Hannah and Jake from North Yorkshire

skipped past the opposition in the first round,

and although Jake ran off at times...

Right, let's just ignore him.

..Hannah got him back on track.

Very good.

They just missed out on the top spot in the treibball semi-final,

but when Oliver and Squib could no longer take part

Hannah and Jake secured their place in today's final.

That was the most amazing thing ever. I was so excited.

Jake is bold and confident

and if Hannah can keep him focused

then this team could get their paws on that trophy.

I'm very proud to have made it this far.

I couldn't do any of it without Jake, so I'm mostly proud of him.

Now, this is the final.

And Ashleigh and dog expert Steve

have been busy preparing something a little bit special

to decide the winner of this year's title.

-Hi, everyone.

-Hiya, gang.

-Hello.

I can't believe it, it's finally the final!

-Are you excited?

-Yeah.

-That's what I like to hear.

So, guys, you have done amazingly well to get to the final,

but it is the final,

so we're going to set you your biggest challenge yet.

Today you're going to be doing a bit of this.

What?

I thought you and Pudsey were going to put together a dance routine.

We have been working on something,

so I'm sure we could show you a little bit of it. Ready. Puds?

Come on, then. Ready, steady...

Now, this I want to see!

Nice jumps.

And superb spins, Pudsey!

Wow! These two make it look easy!

Speedily through the weaves,

over the jump, through the tunnel,

and a leap for the big finish.

Good boy!

Fantastic display, Ashleigh and Pudsey!

But what's that got to do with the final challenge?

Whoa!

So, guys, you've probably guessed we want to put together

the most amazing performance you possibly can.

Now, you can do a dance routine, you can do a magic trick,

you can do a serious thing, basically, whatever you want to do,

as long as it blows our socks off.

I can't wait for this challenge. I am so excited.

And I hope you love creating performances

as much as me and Pudsey do.

Now, at Showtime, you're going to be judged on...

A lot to think about there.

And just to amp up the pressure,

the teams will be performing in front of a live audience,

and under the scrutiny of Lynn Barber,

one of the UK's top dog-training experts.

What I'm going to be looking for in the winner

is the relationship.

I want a dog that is working for the trainer,

it's got to be an absolute one-to-one,

we-love-each-other working relationship.

OK, guys, have some fun with it

and we will be back in a bit to find out what you've got planned, OK?

-Bye.

-Good luck. Bye.

-Come on, then.

Each trainer needs to come up with a special theme

for their final performance.

While they put their thinking caps on,

why don't we reveal the results of another hard-fought contest?

Right, everyone, prick your ears up.

It's time to take a look at our top ten canine capers of the series.

A dog who just doesn't know when he's beaten.

Just let it go!

A dog pretending to be a sheep.

Stealing 8th place along with a cupcake,

a dog on a canine crime spree.

When your owner misbehaves,

push him in the sea.

Shimmying into 6th position, a disco-dancing doggy!

A dog battles his arch enemy from another dimension.

Sliding down to number 4, two daredevil dogs.

Climbing two places to number 3,

sky swimming.

Down one place to number 2,

a dog takes on a monster truck.

And loses.

And claiming the number 1 spot,

a dog drives a monster truck.

That's more like it.

Still to come, Ashleigh teaches Pudsey a stunt

to end the series in style.

And we reveal the winner of the Top Dog Trainer Trophy.

The teams have been hard at work

planning their final Showtime performances

and deciding on a theme to wow the judges.

Ashleigh and Steve are back to help put their plans into action.

-Hi, Ellie.

-Hi.

-How's it going?

-OK.

After Ashleigh's performance, I got some ideas.

In the finale, I'm planning to do a '50s theme

and I'm using the barrel and the hoop.

I'm not sure what my costume's going to be yet, though.

What are you doing so far?

Well, she can do the hoops, but I'm not sure about the barrel.

Let's have a look at the barrel.

Now, this is risky.

Ellie's decided to teach Ruby a brand-new trick just for the final.

-OK, hop her up. Let's have a little look.

-Ruby!

Up.

-Good.

-Good girl.

-That's a good start.

-I like that.

-Good girl.

-Hop her off for me.

-Good girl.

The barrel's all about building up her confidence but by bit.

So lots of rewards while she's on the barrel, not when she hops off,

then you're going to start putting a little bit of movement.

-That's weird, that's like an earthquake for little Ruby.

-Yeah.

When there's a little bit of movement,

-then you can start doing a bit of travelling.

-OK.

Good girl, Ruby.

At home I'm going to work on walking on the barrel

and putting my routine together.

I don't know how Ruby's going to get on with the barrel training,

but if she doesn't pick it up well, I might just not use it.

Sensible stuff, Ellie. You don't want to blow your chances

with a big mistake when it really counts.

Good boy!

-Hi, Hannah.

-Hello.

-How's it all going?

-Yeah, good.

Hannah's chosen a cops-and-robbers theme for her performance.

We'll have a look.

I've chosen to be a policeman

who's supposedly chasing after Jake, who's the robber,

and Jake's supposedly stolen something and run away with it.

Hopefully that'll go to plan.

Hannah's decided to use the treibball.

She got to grips with it in the semi-final,

but now she's also going to try something new.

Have you got any questions for us?

Yeah. How do I make him do tricks away from me?

Because with the treibball

-he's going to have to do the trick completely away from me.

-OK.

Why do you want him to push it away from you?

Because that's what he's going to be stealing in cops-and-robbers.

-Makes perfect sense.

-I like it!

-Shall we have a look?

And then we'll see if there's any treats.

Let's see if you can encourage him to get the ball away from you first.

Push, push.

Good boy. Push.

-Good boy.

-OK. That's not so bad.

So that cue of push,

make sure that push really does mean "Hit the ball with your nose"!

-Yeah.

-OK. So push, good, come back, get your treat.

Then you can start going push, push,

start putting several cues together per reward.

That'll get him going away from you.

-So does that make sense?

-Yeah.

-Make sense?

-Makes sense.

Good. Well done.

At home I'm going to work on choreographing it

and making sure it's all in time to the music and stuff.

I do think I can win.

I mean, me and Jake have got the determination

and we've got good teamwork, we'll get there.

Go! Good girl!

Good dog.

Hi, Katie and Dazzle. Hello! How's it going?

Good.

Katie has chosen a spy theme for her performance.

And, not to be outdone by the others,

she's going to teach Dazzle flyball, another brand-new trick.

Although she likes tennis balls and does agility,

she hasn't tried flyball at all,

so if she does it wrong on the day it could lose us points.

Let's have a look, see what you've got so far.

-Go! Good girl!

-Good, good.

-Come, come, come.

-Yes.

-Almost.

-OK.

So in our routine do we want her to go over the jump

-and back over the jump to you?

-Yeah.

-Yeah? OK.

Then, we'll just worry about the training aspects,

we'll get that nice and polished first

before we worry about Showtime.

So place yourself here so Dazzle can't go round the jump.

Soon as Dazzle's got the ball, I want you here.

Cos it makes sense to encourage Dazzle over the jump.

Really ingrain that.

-Then you can start phasing yourself out of the picture a little.

-Yeah.

OK, so, let's have one more go.

Thank you.

-OK, Dazzle.

-Take your starting position.

-Go!

-That's it. Leaning over.

-Come on.

-Now back away, back away.

Wow! Well done, Dazzle! An instant flyball phenomenon.

-Good girl!

-Brilliant. Well done.

You should give her loads and loads of praise for that.

Now we're going to see you back here in two weeks' time for Showtime.

You've got loads and loads to practise and think about.

-OK, so go away and have a bit of fun as well. OK?

-OK.

-See you then.

-Cool. Work hard.

-Bye.

-Bye.

I'm feeling quite confident about Showtime

because I think my theme's good,

and if I try hard enough with Dazzle

we can be Top Dog Trainer.

Come on, come on, come on.

So all three trainers are going all out to impress

with new tricks and ambitious plans for their Showtime performances.

Looks like they mean business.

But...only one team can lift that trophy.

Who's it going to be?

So we're going to be showing you how to teach your dog

to place their two front paws on a box and turn around.

Puds, come on, then. Hey, good boy.

All you've got to do is with a treat

try and encourage your dog to place either one or two paws on to the box.

Good boy!

So once your dog places one or two paws on to the box,

you give them loads of praise and make sure you give the treat

while your dog is still on the box.

If they only manage to put one on, you start building that up to two.

Once I've got their two paws on to the box,

it's time to start turning them round.

So, again, using your treats, ever so slightly step into your dog,

like so... Good!

Making sure you don't touch your dog or you're not pushing them,

you're going to carry on doing that and build it up.

So you do one step,

then you do two steps...

Good. Well done.

Until you can go all the way round...

..like so.

Good! Well done.

Clever lad.

And this is where you can start bringing in your command.

So I use "box turn", OK?

Box...turn.

Good boy. Well done.

And this is what your finished product should look like.

Ready, steady, box!

Turn.

Good boy. Turn. Good. Turn.

Turn. Good boy!

Good!

Good luck.

Some people like to dress their dogs up as fashion accessories.

But there's a more serious side to this dog's pair of fashionable shoes.

Take a look at this incredible story.

This is Maddy, a border collie who lives with her owner, Nicky.

Maddy used to love doing agility and running and jumping.

But one day Maddy seriously injured her back legs.

Nicky was told that Maddy would need an operation

and might never walk again. Poor Maddy!

However, some clever animal doctors

wanted to design special boots for Maddy.

They thought that special boots might allow her to walk again.

But could they work?

Yes! Not only could she walk, but she can run and jump again too.

They work to stop her over-extending the joints,

so that she can wear them and be a hooligan in them

and we don't have any worries

about her repeating the injuries.

Never walk again? Try telling Maddy that!

After the most intense competition they have ever experienced,

Hannah and Jake, Ellie and Ruby, and Katie and Dazzle

are just one step away from victory.

With Ashleigh and Steve's help,

they have mastered new tricks, overcome incredible challenges

and fought off stiff competition

to be in with a chance of winning

the Who Let the Dogs Out? Top Dog Trainer Trophy.

Look! It's Pudsey!

This is it!

It's the final!

Showtime!

CHEERING

# Who let the dogs out? Woof! Woof! Woof! Woof! #

It's Showtime!

And of course it's not just any old Showtime!

It's our grand finale,

and one by one our trainers are going to put on a two-minute display

of all their best tricks.

And of course today's winners are going to get their hands

on the Who Let the Dogs Out? Top Dog Trainer Trophy!

-Let's get this competition started!

-Cool!

Joining Ashleigh and Steve in the judging booth is Lynn Barber,

one of the UK's top dog-training experts.

No pressure, teams.

First up we have Hannah and Jake.

Come on, Jake this way. This way, come here.

Sit.

Hannah chose a cops-and-robbers theme for her Showtime performance,

but took a risk when she decided to introduce distance

into the treibball trick. Will the gamble pay off?

It would mean everything to win.

I mean, it would be great. It's just great to be here, really,

but to win would be amazing.

Stay.

Nice outfits, you two. You certainly look the part.

Stay.

Oh, no! Jake's wandering off, just as Hannah feared.

Jake, Jake, come here. Stay!

Stay! Stay.

But nice control, Hannah. That's how to communicate with your dog.

MUSIC: "One Way Or Another" by One Direction

Wow! Looks like they're with the treibball trick right from the off.

Oh, I get it! Jake's stolen the ball and run off.

Nice story, Hannah.

Remember, points will be awarded for the number of tricks,

difficulty, subtlety of commands, creativity

and overall entertainment value.

And that's entertaining!

Nice jumping, Jake.

Oh, good footwork.

Now they're really locked into the routine.

Into the weaves.

It's tidy.

And setting up for the hoops.

Oh, he's missed one.

But Hannah quickly gets Jake back on track.

Now, this is one cool copper!

Now, that's new!

Jake's pushing the bars off with his nose.

The judges are going to love that!

Bit of hesitation in the tunnel.

But more impressive footwork.

And nice height on that jump.

Through the hoops again.

And this time it's a clean sweep.

Oh, nice control, Hannah.

And now the tricks are flowing thick and fast!

The crawl, jump...

..walking between the legs...

..and then backwards!

This will score some serious points.

Those tricks are not easy.

Hannah's winding up for the big finish.

Oh, Jake's looking a bit distracted.

Come on, Hannah, you're almost there.

Very nice!

And that is one more criminal canine off the streets!

Good boy!

And Hannah should feel very proud. That was amazing!

Next up it's Ellie and Ruby.

Come on, Ruby.

Ellie chose a '50s theme for her performance.

And she decided to tackle a brand-new trick

by taking on the famous Who Let the Dogs Out? barrel.

If Ruby has mastered it,

these two could soon be barrelling their way to the title.

I'm not very confident that I can win

because I don't know if I'll be able to pull it off.

It would mean a lot to me to win

because all my friends and family will be proud of me.

Wow! Ruby is starting her performance on the barrel.

Good luck, you two.

MUSIC: "That Man" by Caro Emerald

So it's a 1950s-style diner setting for these two.

A gentle journey back in time.

Great footwork!

The judges will like that.

Nothing like watching the world go by

from a seat in your favourite diner.

Life was more gentle in the olden days.

Backwards weave and into some parasol work.

Impressive.

Come on, Ruby, beat!

Another backwards weave!

This is impressive stuff!

Now, what's this?

Looks like she's going to attempt the hoops.

Not the highest jumping in the world,

but if there were points for being cute,

Ruby would score off the scale!

Some lovely leaps there.

A bit more weaving.

Weaving was very fashionable in the 1950s.

Wow! Now, that's better jumping, Ruby! Good work!

And great walking on two legs.

Ellie's setting up for the grand finale.

A leap on to the lap...

Good girl!

Nice tidy finish! Well done, Ellie and Ruby.

Good girl!

And last but certainly not least, we have Katie and Dazzle.

Katie chose a spy theme for her performance,

and has even designed her own jetpack for Dazzle to wear.

To really wow the judges,

Katie has also been teaching Dazzle a brand-new trick, flyball.

I wanted to try Who Let the Dogs Out? Top Dog Trainer so much

because my family and friends would be so proud of me,

and I love dog training and I would just be really happy if I won.

And they're off! Loving that jetpack, Dazzle!

MUSIC: "Eye Of The Tiger" by Survivor

Oh, no! Katie's had to help Dazzle place the ball in the catapult.

They'll drop points for that.

Wow! That's one speedy spy dog!

Dazzle's lining up their brand-new trick, flyball.

Nice and tidy.

And great return. Is there a secret message on that ball, Katie?

Yes, there is!

You mean a cat

has infiltrated the Dog House?

Can our heroic spies find him?

That's better, Dazzle.

The ball safely in the cup and no help needed this time.

Wow! What a leap!

And great jumping!

And nicely through the hoops.

Dazzle's definitely enjoying herself,

but can Katie keep her focused?

Wow! Another spectacular leap and through the tunnel in a flash.

Well done, Katie. Some nice communication there.

Over the flyball again.

Now they're just showing off.

Oh, another message!

Could that be where the evil tiger is lurking?

Yes, it is!

They've completed their mission.

Now to make their escape.

A final leap to safety

and the end of their performance.

So, all three teams have done everything they can

and the judges now need to pick a winner.

Rather them than me!

CHEERING

Well, it's the moment you've all been waiting for...

The trainer that is going to be walking away with the title

of Who Let the Dogs Out? Top Dog Trainer is...

..Hannah and Jake!

The judges were blown away

by the number of tricks Hannah and Jake performed,

and she scored heavily for creativity and entertainment value

by telling a great story with her cops-and-robbers theme.

Well, you've all done incredibly well,

but it is a moment I've been waiting for for the whole series,

-so, Hannah and Jake, here is your winning trophy.

-It's all over, done.

-I know.

But we have yet another amazing Top Dog Trainer.

So join us next time on Who Let the Dogs Out? See you there.

-Bye!

-Bye.

-CHEERING

Wow! What a series, what a final!

And what a winner! Well done, Hannah and Jake!

Brilliant.

MUSIC: "Roar" by Katy Perry

Katie and Ellie's performances were amazing.

I can't wait to see them on TV,

because I'm sure it was a close competition.

It's great to have got this far.

Hannah and Jake, well done. You're awesome, youse guys.

I'm really happy that I got this far and I don't mind that I didn't win.

And I want to say well done to Hannah and she did really well.

I'm extremely proud of Jake.

I couldn't have done any of this without him.

He's just been amazing throughout the whole competition.

Absolutely, Hannah. Well done, both of you.

What a fantastic final, Puds, eh?

WHINING You want to dance again?

After all that excitement? WOOF!

Fine!
