0:01:14 > 0:01:19higher than ever before, but only 27 could make it to The Dog House.
0:01:19 > 0:01:23Today's challenge is going to be fast and furious...hopefully.
0:01:23 > 0:01:25We need ball-obsessed dogs for this one, Ashleigh.

0:01:36 > 0:01:37Come on, Puds.
0:01:42 > 0:01:46At the Try-outs, dozens of dogs and their trainers were hoping to
0:01:46 > 0:01:49impress Ashleigh to get to The Dog House...
0:01:49 > 0:01:51Woo! Well done!
0:01:51 > 0:01:53..and get their paws on the ultimate prize...
0:01:55 > 0:01:56..the Top Dog Trainer Trophy.

0:02:04 > 0:02:06- Hello.- Hello. My name's Carl and this is Jake.
0:02:06 > 0:02:08- Good luck. - Jump.

0:02:11 > 0:02:13are from Wolverhampton.
0:02:13 > 0:02:14Good boy.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16Spin. Good boy.
0:02:16 > 0:02:19They came to the Try-outs with loads of tricks and, luckily,
0:02:19 > 0:02:21Jake's a fan of balls.
0:02:21 > 0:02:23Oh, good catch!
0:02:24 > 0:02:26Good boy! Well done!
0:02:30 > 0:02:32Well, the floor is yours.

0:02:37 > 0:02:39- There we go!- Yes! She likes that.
0:02:39 > 0:02:41Up! Yeah!
0:02:41 > 0:02:44Play dead. Yeah, clever girl.
0:02:44 > 0:02:47That is brilliant. Well done.
0:02:47 > 0:02:48Ashleigh thought this team were great.
0:02:48 > 0:02:52- Oh, yeah!- Good girl, go get it. - Get the ball. Yes, what's this?
0:02:52 > 0:02:56- Up you go.- Yes, well done, give her loads of praise. Give her that treat.
0:02:56 > 0:02:59- That is so good. Well done. - Good girl.
0:02:59 > 0:03:01- Hi.- Hello.
0:03:01 > 0:03:02I'm Emily and this is Frankie.
0:03:02 > 0:03:04The floor is yours. Take it away.

0:03:10 > 0:03:11are from Birmingham.
0:03:11 > 0:03:13And on one leg, Frankie, round.
0:03:13 > 0:03:15Round. Round.
0:03:15 > 0:03:16Quick, hide!
0:03:16 > 0:03:17Lovely!
0:03:17 > 0:03:18Wow!
0:03:18 > 0:03:21Emily has certainly taught Frankie a few tricks.
0:03:21 > 0:03:22Respect!
0:03:22 > 0:03:23Beautiful!
0:03:23 > 0:03:26I love how enthusiastic you are with him,
0:03:26 > 0:03:28and you're obviously dedicated to training him.
0:03:29 > 0:03:31DOGS BARK
0:03:32 > 0:03:36Day one of Training, time for Ashleigh to introduce the teams
0:03:36 > 0:03:39to our dog expert Steve, who will reveal their stunt.
0:03:41 > 0:03:43- Hi, guys.- How you doing?
0:03:43 > 0:03:46Now, Steve, these are our lovely dog trainers.
0:03:46 > 0:03:48How do you do? OK, so no surprises, gang,
0:03:48 > 0:03:51today you're going to be doing some flyball.
0:03:51 > 0:03:55For this stunt, your dog needs to jump over the four hurdles,
0:03:55 > 0:03:57collect the tennis ball from the box,
0:03:57 > 0:04:00then sprint back over the hurdles to deliver the ball to you,
0:04:00 > 0:04:03the trainer, at the start line.
0:04:03 > 0:04:04Every second counts,
0:04:04 > 0:04:06so the winner will be the dog
0:04:06 > 0:04:07that completes the course
0:04:07 > 0:04:08in the fastest time.
0:04:10 > 0:04:13So, Emily, have you ever tried flyball with Frankie before?
0:04:13 > 0:04:16Uh, I did a little bit with him, but he wasn't fantastic,
0:04:16 > 0:04:18but I'm sure we can have a go again.
0:04:18 > 0:04:20- Exactly. That's why you're here. - Perfect.
0:04:20 > 0:04:22And what about Bella?
0:04:22 > 0:04:25Well, I'm hoping she's going to be good. She loves balls, so...
0:04:25 > 0:04:28That's the main thing, isn't it? And, Carl, what about Jake?
0:04:28 > 0:04:30Is there anything you're worried about?
0:04:30 > 0:04:33I just think he might get a bit excited or distracted.
0:04:33 > 0:04:36Well, that's where you come in. You've got to be really enthusiastic.
0:04:36 > 0:04:39OK, so the first step. I want you to bring your dog over one at a time.
0:04:39 > 0:04:42Ashleigh's going to be rolling down the tennis ball from the box.
0:04:42 > 0:04:45You guys are going to be encouraging your dog to grab that ball
0:04:45 > 0:04:46and loads and loads of play.
0:04:46 > 0:04:49You're going to encourage your dog to actually take the ball
0:04:49 > 0:04:52from the flyball holder. Start adding more and more distance.
0:04:52 > 0:04:55Over one hurdle to the flyball box, grab the ball,
0:04:55 > 0:04:58back over that original hurdle, and loads of play with you guys.
0:04:58 > 0:05:00- Does that make sense?- ALL:- Yeah.
0:05:00 > 0:05:03- OK, me and Pudsey are going to shoot off. Bye-bye.- ALL:- Bye.
0:05:03 > 0:05:07Let's get started then. So, bring Frankie over here.
0:05:07 > 0:05:10- What is it, Frank?- Now, the flyball box looks a little bit weird,
0:05:10 > 0:05:11but you're just going to get him used to it.
0:05:11 > 0:05:13I want you to be quiet until he's got that ball.
0:05:13 > 0:05:16As soon as he's got it, I want you to do all the calling, OK?
0:05:16 > 0:05:19Cos we want to work on getting him back to you as quick as possible.
0:05:19 > 0:05:21Will Frankie go for that ball?
0:05:21 > 0:05:23- Ready...come on, Frankie. - Go get it.- Get it.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26- Now call.- Come on, Frank, what a good boy.- Good boy. Have fun!
0:05:26 > 0:05:28Looks like this team are off to a good start.
0:05:28 > 0:05:32At the moment, it's all about getting him back as quick as possible. OK?
0:05:32 > 0:05:34- Daniel and Bella, then. - Come on, Bella.
0:05:34 > 0:05:36Now, you're going to bring Bella over here.
0:05:36 > 0:05:40- Exactly the same, I'm going to call Bella. I want you to be quiet.- OK.
0:05:40 > 0:05:43And then as soon as Bella's got the ball, then do loads of calling, OK?
0:05:43 > 0:05:46- Good girl. Good girl.- What's this? Bella, come on then.
0:05:46 > 0:05:49- Yeah, good girl. Call! Call! Call! - Bella, come here! Yeah!
0:05:49 > 0:05:51Yeah, come on then.
0:05:51 > 0:05:53Bella does like her balls.
0:05:53 > 0:05:55- Aw, she's so cute.- Yeah.
0:05:55 > 0:05:58With Bella, you need to work on getting her back quicker,
0:05:58 > 0:06:00cos she's quite funny.
0:06:00 > 0:06:03- Once she's got that ball, she's like, "No, you're not having it."- Yeah!
0:06:03 > 0:06:05"It's all mine." But good, well done.
0:06:05 > 0:06:06- Carl and Jake, then.- OK, come.
0:06:08 > 0:06:10So, exactly the same, I'll put the ball back in here.
0:06:10 > 0:06:12I'm going to call him loads and loads,
0:06:12 > 0:06:14you be quiet and, as soon as he's got that ball,
0:06:14 > 0:06:17loads of praise, OK? Jakey! Jake! Good boy.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20- Come here, Jakey, come here! Oh, you're clever. Come here.- Good boy.
0:06:20 > 0:06:23- That's a good boy. Oh, you're clever.- Yeah, good boy, well done.
0:06:23 > 0:06:26- Have fun with that ball.- Come here. - That is brilliant, well done.
0:06:26 > 0:06:29Full marks to Jake, he's really picking this up.
0:06:29 > 0:06:33Well, guys, I'm going to leave you to practise for a little while, OK?
0:06:33 > 0:06:35So, carry on. Retrieves, remember, everyone has to work on them,
0:06:35 > 0:06:38getting their dog back as quick as possible.
0:06:38 > 0:06:40- OK? Bye! ALL:- Bye.
0:06:40 > 0:06:42# Who let the dogs out? #
0:06:42 > 0:06:43DOGS BARK
0:06:45 > 0:06:49Dogs can really grow to love flyball, and some can even become
0:06:49 > 0:06:53obsessed with it, but then, dogs can become obsessed about anything.
0:06:53 > 0:06:55Like...digging up the garden.
0:06:55 > 0:06:56Eh, Puds?
0:06:56 > 0:06:57PUDS WHINES
0:07:02 > 0:07:04This Shar Pei is obsessed with the toothbrush.
0:07:04 > 0:07:06He's been cleaning his teeth for hours!
0:07:11 > 0:07:14Obsessive piano playing is unusual for a dog.
0:07:14 > 0:07:17A bit cool...although the neighbours might not agree!
0:07:20 > 0:07:22Gardening is another good hobby for a dog,
0:07:22 > 0:07:24as is fishing.
0:07:26 > 0:07:28Now, a love of gambling should not be encouraged.
0:07:32 > 0:07:35Now, this is very unusual behaviour for a dog!
0:07:36 > 0:07:38Whereas, digging...
0:07:38 > 0:07:39eating...
0:07:40 > 0:07:42..wellie sniffing...
0:07:43 > 0:07:47..and chasing, are what dogs are SUPPOSED to be obsessed with.
0:07:49 > 0:07:51As for a stick obsession... Ha-ha-ha!
0:07:51 > 0:07:52That's dangerous!
0:07:52 > 0:07:55# Who let the dogs out? #
0:07:55 > 0:07:56DOGS BARK
0:07:56 > 0:07:58Still to come on Who Let The Dogs Out...
0:08:00 > 0:08:02..we meet some courageous canines...
0:08:03 > 0:08:07..and find out which team are completely on the ball
0:08:07 > 0:08:08in today's challenge.
0:08:10 > 0:08:11DOGS BARK
0:08:14 > 0:08:15Come on, Frank.
0:08:15 > 0:08:18The teams are working on fetching the ball from the flyball box
0:08:18 > 0:08:22when Ashleigh arrives to start training with the hurdles.
0:08:22 > 0:08:24So, come on then, Emily and Frankie,
0:08:24 > 0:08:26let's take a look at what you've been doing.
0:08:26 > 0:08:27If we take it from this...
0:08:27 > 0:08:30- Frank, what's this? - Go, Frankie! Go! Go! Go!
0:08:30 > 0:08:32Whoa!
0:08:32 > 0:08:37Uh, Bella, we know you love balls, but that is not yours.
0:08:37 > 0:08:38Frankie was supposed to do that!
0:08:38 > 0:08:41Make sure you keep Bella on the lead.
0:08:41 > 0:08:44So, ready, Frankie. Frankie, come on then. What's this?
0:08:44 > 0:08:46Good boy, yeah, good boy.
0:08:46 > 0:08:49I wonder how Frankie will do with the hurdles.
0:08:49 > 0:08:50Will he go for that ball?
0:08:50 > 0:08:51He's allowed to take it from the box.
0:08:51 > 0:08:54Frankie, what's this? Good boy. Come on, then.
0:08:54 > 0:08:55- Frankie!- Get it!
0:08:55 > 0:08:57Good boy! Well done!
0:08:57 > 0:08:59He doesn't seem interested in the ball at all.
0:08:59 > 0:09:00That may be a problem for Emily.
0:09:00 > 0:09:03- Get it!- Good! Have you got his favourite toy?
0:09:03 > 0:09:05Uh, ready...
0:09:05 > 0:09:07Get it! Get it! Get it! Yeah, good boy.
0:09:07 > 0:09:10So, just have a play with that. He's starting to get a little bit bored.
0:09:10 > 0:09:12Step back and have a bit of a play with him.
0:09:12 > 0:09:14Good advice there from Ashleigh.
0:09:14 > 0:09:16Come on, then.
0:09:16 > 0:09:18Time for ball-mad Bella and Daniel.
0:09:19 > 0:09:22She's quite a big dog. We're going to just lower this jump.
0:09:22 > 0:09:25There we go. We'll just take that out for the time being.
0:09:25 > 0:09:28Hey, Bella, what's this? So, as soon as she's got this ball,
0:09:28 > 0:09:30I want you to run back with her. Ready?
0:09:30 > 0:09:33Bella, what's this? Bella, Bella? Good girl! Come on, then.
0:09:33 > 0:09:37- Good, well done. Go, go, go! - OK, let's go.- Tell her over.- Over.
0:09:37 > 0:09:38Almost.
0:09:38 > 0:09:41So, she knows what she's got to do. She's got to go to the box,
0:09:41 > 0:09:44she just needs work on her jumping. Good, well done!
0:09:44 > 0:09:45Room for improvement with this team.
0:09:45 > 0:09:48Next up, Carl and Jake.
0:09:48 > 0:09:50Jake, what's this? Jakey? Jake!
0:09:50 > 0:09:53- Look.- Jake, what's this? Jake?- Good boy.
0:09:53 > 0:09:56Jake, what's this? Jakey, yeah, good boy, get it.
0:09:56 > 0:09:59Good boy. Yay! That's OK. Run, run, run, run.
0:09:59 > 0:10:02- Come on.- Almost. Be careful!
0:10:02 > 0:10:04Jake dropped the ball, but he made it over the hurdle.
0:10:04 > 0:10:07- What you need to work on... He's quite tired at the moment.- Yeah.
0:10:07 > 0:10:09But you need, again, working on your retrieves.
0:10:09 > 0:10:11- Yeah.- OK, well done. Go back.
0:10:11 > 0:10:14Don't worry, Carl. This flyball malarkey is a bit of a challenge.
0:10:14 > 0:10:16You should be really proud of your dogs.
0:10:16 > 0:10:20Flyball is quite tough, so you've got to take it in tiny, little steps.
0:10:20 > 0:10:23I'm going to let you take the jumps and the flyball box home with you,
0:10:23 > 0:10:25and I'll see you back here in a week's time.
0:10:25 > 0:10:26- Bye! ALL:- Bye!
0:10:28 > 0:10:32'Training was good, although me and Jake need to work particularly hard'
0:10:32 > 0:10:36on receiving the ball and coming back to me.
0:10:36 > 0:10:40'My main competition is Daniel and Bella,'
0:10:40 > 0:10:43because Bella's really interested in the ball and she's really
0:10:43 > 0:10:47bouncy and excited, and she doesn't seem to get tired at all.
0:10:47 > 0:10:49'The best bit about the training session was when
0:10:49 > 0:10:52'Bella did what she was meant to do for the first time.'
0:10:52 > 0:10:53She was really good at it
0:10:53 > 0:10:57and it was just like a breakthrough from what we'd been doing.
0:10:57 > 0:11:01Now, Jake, Bella and Frankie all look quite different,
0:11:01 > 0:11:03and they all have their individual set of skills.
0:11:03 > 0:11:06Let's take a look at their Mutt Measurements.
0:11:07 > 0:11:09First is Jake,
0:11:09 > 0:11:11a two-year-old springer spaniel.
0:11:11 > 0:11:14According to Carl, Jake's got a very mischievous nature,
0:11:14 > 0:11:17so you never know what this dog will do next.
0:11:18 > 0:11:22Springer spaniels usually live up to their name with BAGS of energy
0:11:22 > 0:11:24and are very eager to please.
0:11:24 > 0:11:28Fingers crossed, Jake can spring into action on today's lively task.
0:11:29 > 0:11:33Next is one-year-old Bella who's a Dogue de Bordeaux.
0:11:33 > 0:11:34These dogs are usually loyal,
0:11:34 > 0:11:37so Bella shouldn't have any problems bringing the ball back to Daniel.
0:11:37 > 0:11:42Bella's breed tend to be agile and fast, which is useful for flyball.
0:11:42 > 0:11:46Dogue de Bordeaux are originally from France, so perhaps Daniel
0:11:46 > 0:11:48should try training Bella in French!
0:11:48 > 0:11:50Oui? Heh! Non?
0:11:50 > 0:11:53Finally, we have Frankie, a two-year-old collie cross.
0:11:54 > 0:11:56Emily says that when Frankie was younger,
0:11:56 > 0:12:00he couldn't control his legs and sometimes took a tumble.
0:12:00 > 0:12:03Hopefully, he'll be more of a co-ordinated collie cross
0:12:03 > 0:12:04for this challenge.
0:12:05 > 0:12:08These dogs are often good at jumping, so Frankie should
0:12:08 > 0:12:11have no difficulty getting stuck into this flyball challenge.
0:12:18 > 0:12:21After a week of practising at home, the teams are back training
0:12:21 > 0:12:23with Ashleigh before Steve arrives with the next steps.
0:12:25 > 0:12:27Give that a go.
0:12:27 > 0:12:29- Here, sit.- Hi, gang. How we doing? - Hi, Steve.
0:12:29 > 0:12:33- Where we at?- Well, at the moment, we are training Carl and Jake, and Jake
0:12:33 > 0:12:37is in a bit of a habit of not doing the jumps on the way back.
0:12:37 > 0:12:39Let's have a little look and see what we can do.
0:12:39 > 0:12:42Will Jake do those jumps for Steve?
0:12:42 > 0:12:44Even to be as this stage though, since last week, is awesome.
0:12:44 > 0:12:45Ready?
0:12:45 > 0:12:46Go get your ballie!
0:12:46 > 0:12:48Dah-dah-dah...
0:12:48 > 0:12:49- Come here now, Jakey!- Good, good...
0:12:49 > 0:12:51Not so good, good... OK.
0:12:51 > 0:12:53This is what I want you to do this time.
0:12:53 > 0:12:56So, you're going to load up your flyball machine with the ball...
0:12:57 > 0:13:00..then come back nice and straight.
0:13:00 > 0:13:02Call him back this way.
0:13:02 > 0:13:06- Let's visually keep his attention as well as audibly.- OK.
0:13:06 > 0:13:08Has Jake taken that in?
0:13:08 > 0:13:11(Jake, the middle, middle, middle.)
0:13:11 > 0:13:13Concentrate, Jake!
0:13:13 > 0:13:15- Go get your ballie!- That's it! Lean over, lean over.
0:13:15 > 0:13:18- Come here then, here. - Clap, clap, clap, clap...
0:13:18 > 0:13:20Yeah! Good boy! Fantastic!
0:13:20 > 0:13:22So, Carl, if we get this one straight,
0:13:22 > 0:13:23we're on track for the rest.
0:13:23 > 0:13:25- Good, good, good.- Right...
0:13:25 > 0:13:29Gold star for Jake. He'll soon be flying over those hurdles!
0:13:29 > 0:13:31Bella absolutely loved her balls, didn't she?
0:13:31 > 0:13:33She would totally go out there, but then
0:13:33 > 0:13:35she wouldn't really bring them back.
0:13:35 > 0:13:38- Shall we see what you've been up to? - Yep.- Yeah? Let's take a look.
0:13:38 > 0:13:39OK, ready? Sit.
0:13:39 > 0:13:40Ready...
0:13:40 > 0:13:43OK, go get it. Go get it. Good girl, go. Good girl!
0:13:43 > 0:13:47Good girl! Good girl! Come on, then! Come on, then!
0:13:47 > 0:13:48- Oh! Almost!- Oh!
0:13:48 > 0:13:50Good girl.
0:13:50 > 0:13:53OK, so, Daniel, be a little bit stricter with your reinforcement.
0:13:53 > 0:13:57If it's not exactly what you want, don't reinforce it.
0:13:57 > 0:13:59- So, you're going to send her over again.- Good girl, come on, then.
0:13:59 > 0:14:03- Ready?- That's it. So, keep your energy nice and high.
0:14:03 > 0:14:05Concentrate, Bella.
0:14:05 > 0:14:08- OK, go! Go get it!- OK, lean over that middle one, get her straight.
0:14:08 > 0:14:12- OK, come on, then! Come on, then! - Yay!- Boom!
0:14:12 > 0:14:15- Perfect!- Good girl.- Now a big play.
0:14:15 > 0:14:16So, she dropped the ball there,
0:14:16 > 0:14:19so we're going to add that little bit of criteria in later on,
0:14:19 > 0:14:21but the fact she's going straight out, getting the ball,
0:14:21 > 0:14:24- coming straight back to you for a big play.- Good girl, yeah.
0:14:24 > 0:14:27- Brilliant.- Good, well done. - Keep working.
0:14:27 > 0:14:29Good progress with the hurdles there.
0:14:29 > 0:14:32Last time, Emily and Frankie hadn't attempted the hurdles,
0:14:32 > 0:14:34but they've been practising hard at home.
0:14:34 > 0:14:37So, shall we take a look at how you've been getting on?
0:14:37 > 0:14:39- Let's see what we've got. - Come here, Frankie. Ready?
0:14:39 > 0:14:41- Nice focus.- Ready?
0:14:41 > 0:14:43You ready, ready? You see that ball? Ready?
0:14:43 > 0:14:46Go! Over! Oh, no!
0:14:46 > 0:14:47Come on, Frank. Come on, Frank!
0:14:47 > 0:14:48Oh, no! Over!
0:14:48 > 0:14:50- Good boy.- OK...
0:14:50 > 0:14:52So, he went to the flyball machine and he got the ball,
0:14:52 > 0:14:56but he went a little bit waywards by this jump.
0:14:56 > 0:14:58How are we going to get a successful one?
0:14:58 > 0:14:59- Go over one jump?- Yeah!
0:14:59 > 0:15:03So, we're going to go one jump, as you say, straight over,
0:15:03 > 0:15:04and make sure you lean over this jump.
0:15:04 > 0:15:06Once he's got the ball, you're leaning over it
0:15:06 > 0:15:09and backing away, but nice and straight, nice and focused.
0:15:09 > 0:15:11- All right?- Good boy.
0:15:11 > 0:15:14That's it, you go get that ballie. Ready, ready, ready...
0:15:14 > 0:15:17- Go! Over!- That's it. You lean over that jump.- Good boy. Come on, Frank.
0:15:17 > 0:15:20Come on! Come on, Frank. Come on! Over, over! Oh, no!
0:15:20 > 0:15:22Frankie's really not picking this up.
0:15:22 > 0:15:23Will he EVER get the hang of flyball?
0:15:23 > 0:15:25Right, OK. Go again.
0:15:28 > 0:15:30Are you ready steady?
0:15:30 > 0:15:31We need a successful one now.
0:15:31 > 0:15:34- Ready...- Concentrate, Frankie.
0:15:34 > 0:15:35Go! Get it, get it, get it!
0:15:35 > 0:15:38Lean over, get all that focus down the middle!
0:15:38 > 0:15:41- Come on! Over, over, over! Good boy!- Yes! Good boy!
0:15:41 > 0:15:43Well done, Frankie!
0:15:43 > 0:15:45Let him know that's EXACTLY what you're after.
0:15:45 > 0:15:48Right, come on, Emily, let's gather round here
0:15:48 > 0:15:50so Steve can explain the next steps for us.
0:15:50 > 0:15:54Now, what I want you to do is just bolt on a few more jumps,
0:15:54 > 0:15:56but I only want you to add more jumps
0:15:56 > 0:15:58when you've mastered the amount of jumps that you're
0:15:58 > 0:16:00working on previously. Does that make sense?
0:16:00 > 0:16:03- ALL:- Yes.- Fantastic. See you later.- ALL:- Bye!
0:16:03 > 0:16:05- Let's get going. - (Come on then, Frank.)
0:16:05 > 0:16:07Back to training with Carl and Jake.
0:16:07 > 0:16:10- Right.- So, shall we try to add in that second jump?- Yeah.
0:16:10 > 0:16:14- Shall we give it a go? - Right, ready...Jakey...
0:16:14 > 0:16:15Go get your ballie!
0:16:17 > 0:16:19Come here, Jakey! Come here! Come on! Come on! Yay! Come on!
0:16:19 > 0:16:21Yay!
0:16:21 > 0:16:24That was brave. Good boy, Jake. That was brilliant, well done.
0:16:24 > 0:16:28Wow! Jake's clearing two hurdles. He is flying high with flyball.
0:16:28 > 0:16:30- How will Bella do? - OK, ready.
0:16:30 > 0:16:34OK, go on, then. Good girl. OK, Bella, come on, then! Yes!
0:16:34 > 0:16:37Good, well done. OK.
0:16:37 > 0:16:41So, keep doing that for a couple of times, then try and go up to the two,
0:16:41 > 0:16:45but as soon as she does the two, give her loads and loads of praise.
0:16:45 > 0:16:47- Thanks.- Good. - Good progress.
0:16:47 > 0:16:49It looks like Jake's still got the edge.
0:16:49 > 0:16:51Time for Emily and Frankie.
0:16:51 > 0:16:54Oh, ready, Frank. Ready, sit.
0:16:54 > 0:16:55You sit.
0:16:55 > 0:16:56That's not a sit. Come on, Frank.
0:16:56 > 0:16:58Is there something up with Frankie?
0:16:58 > 0:17:01- Frankie, come on! He's getting tired.- He's getting a bit tired?
0:17:01 > 0:17:03OK, so I think you should let him have his little rest,
0:17:03 > 0:17:07- take him back, have a drink so he's enjoying it a bit more.- OK.
0:17:07 > 0:17:11And that goes for you guys as well, cos this is quite a challenging
0:17:11 > 0:17:13trick for your dogs and it wears them out quite quickly.
0:17:13 > 0:17:18So, we'll see you back here in a week's time for Showtime, OK?
0:17:18 > 0:17:21- Bye. ALL:- Bye!
0:17:21 > 0:17:23Today, my training session went absolutely awfully.
0:17:23 > 0:17:25He just, his head just wasn't in it today.
0:17:25 > 0:17:28He just wasn't concentrating, he just kept lying down on the floor.
0:17:28 > 0:17:30Yeah, I think he's just got a bit bored.
0:17:30 > 0:17:33- DANIEL:- It's hard to decide who's my main competition,
0:17:33 > 0:17:38but I think it might have to go to Carl and Jake
0:17:38 > 0:17:40because they did do better,
0:17:40 > 0:17:42um, in the session.
0:17:42 > 0:17:45- CARL:- At home, we'll go to work on the recall and Jake coming back
0:17:45 > 0:17:48to me with the ball, and not missing any hurdles out.
0:17:50 > 0:17:52Now, flyball looks rather fun.
0:17:52 > 0:17:56Why not try teaching your dog this speedy stunt using these five steps?
0:17:56 > 0:17:58But, remember, you'll need an adult with you.
0:18:00 > 0:18:03Step one, get your dog used to the flyball equipment and,
0:18:03 > 0:18:06with the adult standing behind the box,
0:18:06 > 0:18:08get them to roll a ball for your dog to fetch.
0:18:10 > 0:18:12Step two,
0:18:12 > 0:18:13start building up distance
0:18:13 > 0:18:17and encourage your dog to take the ball from the flyball box itself.
0:18:19 > 0:18:20Step three,
0:18:20 > 0:18:22introduce the hurdles.
0:18:22 > 0:18:25Over one hurdle, to grab the ball from the box,
0:18:25 > 0:18:28and then back over the same hurdle.
0:18:28 > 0:18:29Step four,
0:18:29 > 0:18:32increase the number of hurdles that your dog jumps to get to the
0:18:32 > 0:18:35flyball box, till your dog can do all four jumps.
0:18:38 > 0:18:41Step five, put all the steps together and practise
0:18:41 > 0:18:44until your dog is flying high with flyball!
0:18:45 > 0:18:48# Who let the dogs out? #
0:18:49 > 0:18:51Today, we're going to be teaching you how
0:18:51 > 0:18:53to get your dog to lie down in a flat position.
0:18:53 > 0:18:56Come on then, Puds. What's this? And, to start off with, you're going
0:18:56 > 0:18:58to put your dog in a down in front of you. Lie down.
0:18:58 > 0:19:00Good boy.
0:19:00 > 0:19:02Now, using your treat, you're going to lure
0:19:02 > 0:19:04your dog's head around to the side.
0:19:04 > 0:19:08As soon as your dog moves his or her hips onto the side,
0:19:08 > 0:19:10you will give the praise and the treat.
0:19:10 > 0:19:13Good, well done. After you've done that a couple of times, you're going
0:19:13 > 0:19:17to do exactly the same, but try and bring the head further round.
0:19:17 > 0:19:21Now, most of his body is on his side there. Good. Well done.
0:19:21 > 0:19:25Now, this time, I'm going to bring my hand round to the front after, OK?
0:19:25 > 0:19:27Ready? Your dog is on their side
0:19:27 > 0:19:31and then bring the treat round to the front, making sure you only
0:19:31 > 0:19:34give the treat when your hand is at the front of the dog's face.
0:19:34 > 0:19:35We're going to do exactly the same,
0:19:35 > 0:19:38but, I'm going to try and move my hand away ever so slightly,
0:19:38 > 0:19:41before I give Pudsey the treat. Ready?
0:19:41 > 0:19:44Round to the front. Wait.
0:19:44 > 0:19:46Now this is where you can start bringing in your command,
0:19:46 > 0:19:49so, for Pudsey I use flat. Ready, Puds?
0:19:50 > 0:19:51Flat.
0:19:51 > 0:19:53Good boy. Well done!
0:19:53 > 0:19:56And this is what it should look like when your dog knows the trick.
0:19:56 > 0:19:57Puds, ready.
0:19:57 > 0:19:58Lie down.
0:19:58 > 0:20:00Down. You ready? Go flat.
0:20:01 > 0:20:05Good boy! Well done! That was good, wasn't it?

0:20:36 > 0:20:40down the side of a hill or mountain.
0:20:40 > 0:20:43These clever hounds scour the mountains with their handlers after

0:21:25 > 0:21:29..and it's time for our formidable flyballers to go head-to-head.
0:21:34 > 0:21:36But only one can make it through.
0:21:36 > 0:21:40'I'm feeling pretty confident that I can get through to the semifinal.'
0:21:40 > 0:21:43I know that Jake could do it, but it's whether he'll do it here.
0:21:43 > 0:21:46Who will let their nerves get the better of them?
0:21:46 > 0:21:49The worst thing that could happen in Showtime would be he gets distracted
0:21:49 > 0:21:51and sees something in the distance that he quite likes
0:21:51 > 0:21:53and just goes to have a nose at it.
0:21:53 > 0:21:56And who will crack from too much pressure?
0:21:57 > 0:21:59I'm feeling nervous and excited about Showtime
0:21:59 > 0:22:02because I don't know how Bella's going to behave,
0:22:02 > 0:22:06but she has done it before, so...and it's going to be real fun.
0:22:07 > 0:22:10We're about to find out.
0:22:15 > 0:22:19It's Showtime! And this is the flyball course.
0:22:19 > 0:22:22Every team will have to start back behind the start line,
0:22:22 > 0:22:25and each dog will have to go over the four hurdles,
0:22:25 > 0:22:28collect the ball from the flyball box and then jump back over
0:22:28 > 0:22:31the four hurdles and whoever does it in the quickest time
0:22:31 > 0:22:33will be today's winner.
0:22:33 > 0:22:36Now, only one team can make it through to the semifinals,
0:22:36 > 0:22:39so it is all to play for. And here's Steve!
0:22:39 > 0:22:43Now, I am really, really excited about this one, and if you had
0:22:43 > 0:22:47to pick one team, who do you think is going to be the fastest today?
0:22:47 > 0:22:49Jake's got the speed...
0:22:49 > 0:22:51Maybe Bella's got the determination, so it's between those two.
0:22:51 > 0:22:54Well, I can't wait to see. Shall we go watch some flyball?
0:22:54 > 0:22:55- Can't wait.- Let's go.
0:22:57 > 0:22:59So, the challenge is set.
0:23:01 > 0:23:03But any hurdles missed by the dogs will each incur
0:23:03 > 0:23:05a five-second time penalty.
0:23:06 > 0:23:09First up, it's Carl and Jake.
0:23:09 > 0:23:11OK.
0:23:11 > 0:23:13Carl and Jake have been frontrunners in Training.
0:23:13 > 0:23:15Will that semifinal spot be theirs?
0:23:17 > 0:23:19Go get your ballie!
0:23:19 > 0:23:21Super-dog Jake's powered off!
0:23:21 > 0:23:23Look at that speed!
0:23:23 > 0:23:26- Come here!- Oh, three hurdles missed!
0:23:26 > 0:23:27But that was fast.
0:23:27 > 0:23:28Let's see that again.
0:23:28 > 0:23:29Go get your ballie!
0:23:29 > 0:23:33Jake bolted down, flew over those hurdles to grab that ball...
0:23:33 > 0:23:34Check out his retrieve!
0:23:35 > 0:23:37Come here!
0:23:37 > 0:23:39But he lost his focus on the way back.
0:23:40 > 0:23:43Impressive time of seven seconds, but...

0:23:57 > 0:24:00Will she pull off a bellissima performance?
0:24:00 > 0:24:01Let's see.
0:24:03 > 0:24:04Get it!
0:24:04 > 0:24:07- Go get your ball! Over, over! - This isn't meant to happen.
0:24:07 > 0:24:11- Bella seems more interested in that flag.- Over, over!
0:24:11 > 0:24:14- Bella, come!- She's not liking the hurdles.- Bella, Bella, come here!
0:24:14 > 0:24:17- Come on, then. Good girl.- Daniel's taking her back to the start.
0:24:17 > 0:24:20- They could still do this.- OK, over, over! Come here. Good girl.
0:24:20 > 0:24:22OK, over, over. Good girl.
0:24:22 > 0:24:25He's got her back on track using a tug toy.
