0:01:51 > 0:01:53- Sally.- Yes.- Hello.- Hello.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56Introduce us to this lovely dog.
0:01:56 > 0:01:59She is called Diggy. She's five years old.
0:01:59 > 0:02:01- What's she like at home? - Loves the kids.
0:02:01 > 0:02:03They play with the youngest full-on.
0:02:03 > 0:02:05Does she go running or do sports with you?
0:02:05 > 0:02:09I try and go running with her, but she's not very keen.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12The other one loves it. This one just sits at home and does nothing.
0:02:12 > 0:02:14Just sits on the front door, "I'm not coming."
0:02:14 > 0:02:18- She's just really very happy. - A gentle soul, lovely.
0:02:18 > 0:02:22Let's hear it for Sally and Diggy! APPLAUSE
0:02:22 > 0:02:24Hello, Tom. We've got beautiful Tara.
0:02:24 > 0:02:27Share with everybody what Tara can do.
0:02:27 > 0:02:30Tara's a search-and-rescue dog. We specialise in avalanches.
0:02:30 > 0:02:33Surely, in the snow, how do they pick up the scent?
0:02:33 > 0:02:37We train her to collect little pockets of air scent.
0:02:37 > 0:02:38It's an airborne scent.
0:02:38 > 0:02:43She doesn't track on the ground, she tracks with her head up.
0:02:43 > 0:02:44She's a very brave dog as well.
0:02:44 > 0:02:48There's something quite extraordinary she does with helicopters.
0:02:48 > 0:02:50We get winched in and out of helicopters.
0:02:50 > 0:02:53She has a harness and I have a harness, we're clipped together.
0:02:53 > 0:02:56She saves people's lives, what an amazing lady.
0:02:56 > 0:02:59Let's hear it for Tom and Tara! APPLAUSE
0:02:59 > 0:03:02Nicci, hello. And beautiful Leo. Hello, Leo.
0:03:02 > 0:03:04You've got such pretty eyes.
0:03:04 > 0:03:06He's a seven-year-old Border collie.
0:03:06 > 0:03:10And he's full of life. A little bit crazy.
0:03:10 > 0:03:12LAUGHTER
0:03:12 > 0:03:14- Does he do tricks too?- He does. - What tricks does he do?
0:03:14 > 0:03:16Leo!
0:03:16 > 0:03:18- Can you do... Boast. Boast. - LEO WHIMPERS
0:03:18 > 0:03:20- AUDIENCE:- Aw! - Good boy.
0:03:22 > 0:03:25- APPLAUSE - Good boy.
0:03:25 > 0:03:28Wonderful, let's hear it for Team Sally!
0:03:28 > 0:03:30CHEERING
0:03:31 > 0:03:36So, captain of Team Peaches, Peaches, hello.
0:03:36 > 0:03:39- Hi.- Lovely to see you.- You, too.
0:03:39 > 0:03:43Now, introduce us to this gorgeous, gorgeous dog.
0:03:43 > 0:03:44This is Parper.
0:03:44 > 0:03:46- Hasn't he got a best friend who's a kitten?- Yes.
0:03:46 > 0:03:48He has a kitten best friend.
0:03:48 > 0:03:52I found a kitten abandoned by its mum in my old house.
0:03:52 > 0:03:55I brought it into the house, and I laid it by Parper.
0:03:55 > 0:03:57And he just licked it really rhythmically,
0:03:57 > 0:04:02and then, basically, after five minutes, came back to life.
0:04:02 > 0:04:06And now it thinks that Parper is its mum, it tries to get milk from him.
0:04:06 > 0:04:08It rides around on his back,
0:04:08 > 0:04:11around the house, clinging on. Hanging over him.
0:04:11 > 0:04:14It thinks it's a dog. It chews bones with him at the same time.
0:04:14 > 0:04:17- They've a really sweet relationship. - Oh, what a lovely story.
0:04:17 > 0:04:20Let's hear it for Peaches and Parper! APPLAUSE
0:04:20 > 0:04:24Hello! Tracy, introduce us to this beautiful dog.
0:04:24 > 0:04:28This is Woody. He's an Italian spinone, two-and-a-half years old.
0:04:28 > 0:04:31There's not many in the country, not many people know what they are.
0:04:31 > 0:04:33You say he does a special job, what does he do?
0:04:33 > 0:04:36Yeah. We've got a training school - Academy 4 Dogs.
0:04:36 > 0:04:39He goes around schools. It's called Woody's Way.
0:04:39 > 0:04:41He teaches children how to read signals in dogs.
0:04:41 > 0:04:44He does a demonstration, and teaches them how to train the dogs.
0:04:44 > 0:04:47We'll get the camera to look straight into your eyes.
0:04:47 > 0:04:49- He says, "I love my sausage."- Fetch!
0:04:49 > 0:04:52- He says, I love my sausage"! - GABY LAUGHS
0:04:52 > 0:04:56Let's hear it for Woody! CHEERING
0:04:56 > 0:04:58Hello, Fay.
0:04:58 > 0:04:59Tell me all about Ernie?
0:04:59 > 0:05:03Ernie's a three-and-a-half year old working cocker spaniel.
0:05:03 > 0:05:08- Tell me what he's like?- He is the happiest dog you could ever meet.
0:05:08 > 0:05:13His tail never stops wagging. Agility, fly-ball, you name it.
0:05:13 > 0:05:17He's the dog of a lifetime? He is.
0:05:17 > 0:05:20Let's hear it for Team Peaches! CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:05:21 > 0:05:25The noses are wet, the ears pricked, and the coats are looking glossy.
0:05:25 > 0:05:27We're in for some healthy competition.
0:05:27 > 0:05:30As ever, we're off to the pool for our first game of the evening
0:05:30 > 0:05:32which involves a spot of wordplay.
0:05:32 > 0:05:35Please get ready for Pooch Puns.
0:05:35 > 0:05:36CHEERING
0:05:40 > 0:05:45This game is all about the three Rs - reading, writing,
0:05:45 > 0:05:47and rolling about in a pool full of water.
0:05:47 > 0:05:50The handlers must throw a ball beyond the marker
0:05:50 > 0:05:53for the dog to dive in and return.
0:05:53 > 0:05:57Each ball is stamped with a letter missing from a well-known phrase.
0:05:57 > 0:05:59There are four missing letters to find.
0:05:59 > 0:06:03The team that completes the phrase in the fastest time will be the winners.
0:06:03 > 0:06:07We flipped a coin to see who is going first, and it's Fay and Ernie.
0:06:07 > 0:06:08Off you go and get ready.
0:06:08 > 0:06:13Our canine water experts are standing by, as ever, in the pool.
0:06:13 > 0:06:14Give us a wave, Dave.
0:06:14 > 0:06:17Give it some welly, Ellie! CHEERING
0:06:17 > 0:06:20We're all set for the first game of the evening.
0:06:20 > 0:06:24Good luck to Fay and Ernie. Are you ready?
0:06:24 > 0:06:27On your barks, get set, go. CHEERING
0:06:30 > 0:06:34On Top Dog, we make sure every game is suited for each dog's ability.
0:06:34 > 0:06:36Ready, ready, fetch.
0:06:36 > 0:06:40Cockers are the smallest of the spaniel varieties,
0:06:40 > 0:06:42and love water, as Ernie is demonstrating.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44- AUDIENCE:- Ernie! Ernie!
0:06:44 > 0:06:47That's his third letter. He has to bring back all four missing letters
0:06:47 > 0:06:50to help Fay complete the phrase.
0:06:50 > 0:06:54Good boy, Ernie. Quick! Fetch it, quick!
0:06:54 > 0:06:56Not looking quite as keen to go in for that last ball.
0:06:56 > 0:06:59Fay offers some spirited encouragement, and he's in.
0:06:59 > 0:07:04They have an E, an A, and a D. They just need the mystery fourth letter.
0:07:05 > 0:07:08They've done it! "Dog eat dog world" is the phrase they've completed.
0:07:08 > 0:07:11This is a "dog beat dog" competition.
0:07:11 > 0:07:14So, will their time be fast enough to win?
0:07:14 > 0:07:18Congratulations, Fay and Ernie. I bet you'll want to know your time?
0:07:18 > 0:07:22- Yes, please.- An incredible time of one minute, one second.
0:07:22 > 0:07:24APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:07:26 > 0:07:28OK, Nicci and Leo, you know what you have to beat.
0:07:28 > 0:07:32One minute, one second. On your barks, get set, go.
0:07:32 > 0:07:34Go, hold it.
0:07:34 > 0:07:37He dives straight in. No messing about on the ramp for Leo.
0:07:37 > 0:07:41Confidently showing the other team he's not afraid of a challenge.
0:07:41 > 0:07:43Ready, go! Go, go, go!
0:07:43 > 0:07:46The Border collie's an extremely intelligent and energetic breed.
0:07:46 > 0:07:48Leo's really showing us that energy
0:07:48 > 0:07:51with his heroic dives to retrieve the balls.
0:07:51 > 0:07:52Go, go, come on!
0:07:52 > 0:07:54He's got the ball, heading back to Nicci.
0:07:54 > 0:07:56Ready, go! Go, go!
0:07:56 > 0:08:00Despite the dive, he manages to keep his head held high, very nice.
0:08:00 > 0:08:03Nicci's putting in place her second letter,
0:08:03 > 0:08:05just as Leo delivers the third. Great teamwork.
0:08:05 > 0:08:07Go, go, go!
0:08:07 > 0:08:10The mystery phrase, starting to take shape.
0:08:10 > 0:08:12Leo's about to give Nicci the last letter,
0:08:12 > 0:08:15then we'll know what it says.
0:08:15 > 0:08:16"Every dog has its day".
0:08:16 > 0:08:20In the case of Leo, he's had a very good day of spectacular dives.
0:08:20 > 0:08:22But will he have brought back those letters fast enough
0:08:22 > 0:08:25to make sure it's his day and not Ernie's?
0:08:27 > 0:08:30Are you having some fun now? There we go.
0:08:30 > 0:08:34All right. The saying was, "Every dog has its day".
0:08:34 > 0:08:36And the time to beat, if you remember,
0:08:36 > 0:08:38was one minute, one second, very fast.
0:08:38 > 0:08:42- Would you like to know the time? - Oh, yes, please.- 58 seconds!- Wow!
0:08:42 > 0:08:43CHEERING
0:08:45 > 0:08:49That means the first game goes to Team Sally.
0:08:49 > 0:08:52Well done. CHEERING
0:08:52 > 0:08:55Off you go now, all of you, and get dry. Well done.
0:08:55 > 0:08:58We have something coming up that never fails to raise a smile.
0:08:58 > 0:09:00Yes, it's super slow and super cute,
0:09:00 > 0:09:04it's Ernie and Leo doing the Wet Dog Shaggy Shake.
0:09:04 > 0:09:08# Shake your groove thing Shake your groove thing, yeah, yeah
0:09:09 > 0:09:11# Show 'em how we do it now
0:09:12 > 0:09:15# Shake your groove thing Shake your groove thing, yeah, yeah
0:09:17 > 0:09:19# Show 'em how we do it now. #
0:09:19 > 0:09:22Rest assured that the dogs' welfare is our number one priority,
0:09:22 > 0:09:26and we've got five fabulous experts to keep their tails wagging.
0:09:26 > 0:09:29Reena Patel is our resident vet
0:09:29 > 0:09:32and senior clinician at her local practice.
0:09:32 > 0:09:34Roy Dyer is our canine consultant,
0:09:34 > 0:09:37he's been training dogs for over 50 years.
0:09:37 > 0:09:39Kristina Glover
0:09:39 > 0:09:41is a veterinary-approved pet behaviour counsellor.
0:09:41 > 0:09:45David Pugh trains dogs to swim and save lives.
0:09:45 > 0:09:48Alongside him is his apprentice, Ellie Bedford.
0:09:48 > 0:09:50CHEERING
0:09:50 > 0:09:52Now, it's time for our second game,
0:09:52 > 0:09:56and one which requires a good aim and a very obedient dog.
0:09:56 > 0:09:59It's now the turn of our celebrity team captains.
0:09:59 > 0:10:02This game is called Spot On, and here are the rules.
0:10:02 > 0:10:05The celebrity team captain stands behind the line,
0:10:05 > 0:10:08and fires a ball at this giant target.
0:10:08 > 0:10:12There are points for every hit. However, only one ball.
0:10:12 > 0:10:16The dog must retrieve that same ball, before it can be fired again.
0:10:16 > 0:10:18The team with the highest scores wins.
0:10:18 > 0:10:21So, Sally and Diggy, please take your positions.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23It's now time for Spot On.
0:10:23 > 0:10:25APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:10:29 > 0:10:31- OK, Sally, are you ready?- Yes.
0:10:31 > 0:10:34On your barks, get set, go.
0:10:34 > 0:10:35- Fetch.- Bull's-eye! Great aim.
0:10:35 > 0:10:38Diggy's off to get her teeth into bringing back the ball.
0:10:38 > 0:10:40APPLAUSE
0:10:40 > 0:10:42Well done, good girl. Very good.
0:10:42 > 0:10:44Are you ready? Fetch!
0:10:44 > 0:10:49Another nice shot. Labradors, as a breed, love to please their masters.
0:10:49 > 0:10:53I'm sure Sally's going to be very happy with Diggy's retrieval skills.
0:10:53 > 0:10:56- Let's go. Yeah! - Another bull's-eye.
0:10:56 > 0:10:59Sally's putting the "gun" in Gunnell with this challenge.
0:10:59 > 0:11:02And a great catch on the rebound from Diggy.
0:11:02 > 0:11:06Sally's not the only one in her family with Olympic potential.
0:11:06 > 0:11:09A slight fumble from Diggy with that one.
0:11:09 > 0:11:11There you go, that's more like it.
0:11:11 > 0:11:12Every shot by Sally earns points.
0:11:12 > 0:11:16The number of shots she can take in the time limit
0:11:16 > 0:11:18will determine whether they win or lose.
0:11:18 > 0:11:20Quick, quick! Quick, quick, quick!
0:11:22 > 0:11:24The time's not up. But Sally seems to be happy with her score,
0:11:24 > 0:11:27and gives Diggy a well-deserved reward rub.
0:11:27 > 0:11:28BEEPING
0:11:29 > 0:11:32Diggy showed the best qualities of the Labrador breed in that game.
0:11:32 > 0:11:37Fine retrieval skills, cool head, and positive attitude. Good job.
0:11:37 > 0:11:39I don't know who's looking more exhausted, you or the dog!
0:11:39 > 0:11:42- Would you like to know how much you scored?- Go on, then.
0:11:42 > 0:11:45- 95!- Whoa! Well done, you! That's good!
0:11:45 > 0:11:49Peaches, that's what you have to beat, 95 points.
0:11:49 > 0:11:53There's no way I'm going to beat this.
0:11:53 > 0:11:57Honestly, it's like... Parper's worst thing is fetching.
0:11:57 > 0:11:59It's going to be humiliating.
0:11:59 > 0:12:01- We cannot wait. - All right, OK. Apologies in advance.
0:12:01 > 0:12:04- Parper, are you ready? - He's ready to run round the studio.
0:12:04 > 0:12:07On your barks, get set, go!
0:12:07 > 0:12:10Wow! Bull's-eye from Peaches.
0:12:10 > 0:12:13Go on, get the bally! Get the bally!
0:12:13 > 0:12:14- Parper, come on.- There you go.
0:12:14 > 0:12:15Almost.
0:12:15 > 0:12:18It went past the line, you get that one.
0:12:18 > 0:12:19Parpy, look, look.
0:12:19 > 0:12:21Parpy! Go, go, Parpy, go.
0:12:21 > 0:12:23Another great shot from Peaches.
0:12:23 > 0:12:24Parper's not really going for this.
0:12:24 > 0:12:27No, Parper's more interested in watching from the sidelines
0:12:27 > 0:12:29than taking part.
0:12:29 > 0:12:31Unless he starts bringing the ball back,
0:12:31 > 0:12:33they'll never beat Sally's 95 points.
0:12:33 > 0:12:34Look. What's that?
0:12:36 > 0:12:40Parpy, look. Look, go. Parpy, go get the ball.
0:12:40 > 0:12:43- Go get the ball, come on. - Parpy, get the ball.
0:12:43 > 0:12:46Why bother getting the ball when it's going to come back by itself?
0:12:46 > 0:12:49I warned everyone this was going to happen.
0:12:49 > 0:12:51Hello, Parpy! Hello.
0:12:51 > 0:12:56Peaches tries to entice Parper back with a clean shot at the target.
0:12:56 > 0:12:59But Parper seems to be settling in for the show.
0:12:59 > 0:13:01Time is ticking away.
0:13:01 > 0:13:02THEY SHOUT ENCOURAGEMENT
0:13:02 > 0:13:05Gaby's getting Parper back into the game.
0:13:05 > 0:13:07- BEEPING - No, the time is up, unfortunately.
0:13:07 > 0:13:10You can see that Parper has the joy typical of golden retrievers.
0:13:10 > 0:13:14He clearly had a great time. And maybe that's all that matters.
0:13:14 > 0:13:16APPLAUSE
0:13:16 > 0:13:19You had to beat 95. Would you like to know your score?
0:13:19 > 0:13:22- No. - LAUGHTER
0:13:22 > 0:13:25They scored 65 points, which was still very good.
0:13:25 > 0:13:26APPLAUSE
0:13:26 > 0:13:28How is that possible?
0:13:28 > 0:13:32That means, again, Team Sally are the winners.
0:13:32 > 0:13:34Well done. APPLAUSE
0:13:34 > 0:13:38At the end of that game, it is Team Sally in the lead.
0:13:38 > 0:13:412-0. Well done. APPLAUSE

0:14:43 > 0:14:47Now, it's time for the next game, and we have our last two to play.
0:14:47 > 0:14:50APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:14:50 > 0:14:51Right now, on to the rules.
0:14:51 > 0:14:54This is a striking variation of bowling.
0:14:54 > 0:14:56We've all the familiar ingredients.
0:14:56 > 0:15:00A bowling alley, an inflatable bowling ball, and 15 giant skittles.
0:15:00 > 0:15:05Each dog will have three attempts to push their ball down the alley,
0:15:05 > 0:15:06to knock down the skittles.
0:15:06 > 0:15:10The ball remains in play until it crosses the back line.
0:15:10 > 0:15:13We'll add up the number of total fallen skittles,
0:15:13 > 0:15:16and the team with the highest score wins.
0:15:16 > 0:15:19So, let's get ready for The Dog's Bowl!
0:15:19 > 0:15:21APPLAUSE
0:15:25 > 0:15:27Do you think Woody wants to play the game?
0:15:27 > 0:15:29- Um. - SHE LAUGHS
0:15:29 > 0:15:31He was on his side a minute ago, with his legs in the air,
0:15:31 > 0:15:33so I'm thinking it might not be good!
0:15:33 > 0:15:35Woody? Woody?
0:15:35 > 0:15:37We're going to try our best, aren't we, baby?
0:15:37 > 0:15:39- Yeah?- On your barks...
0:15:39 > 0:15:42- Are you ready?- ..get set, go!
0:15:42 > 0:15:43Ready? Woody!
0:15:43 > 0:15:45None of our canine competitors
0:15:45 > 0:15:48have been so cool before the challenge as Woody.
0:15:48 > 0:15:51On his feet now, nosing the ball beautifully.
0:15:51 > 0:15:53CHEERING
0:15:53 > 0:15:56Good boy. Target! Go on!
0:15:59 > 0:16:00Four skittles down on his first go,
0:16:00 > 0:16:04but the turn isn't over until the ball crosses the furthest line
0:16:04 > 0:16:05before the buzzer goes.
0:16:05 > 0:16:08Yes! Good boy!
0:16:09 > 0:16:11BEEPING
0:16:11 > 0:16:12APPLAUSE
0:16:14 > 0:16:16Remember, you get three rolls. Go again.
0:16:16 > 0:16:20Woody's an Italian spinone, a breed rarely seen on these shores.
0:16:20 > 0:16:22In fact, Woody's currently one of only six in the UK.
0:16:22 > 0:16:25He's certainly working hard to show those skittles who's boss.
0:16:25 > 0:16:28It won't necessarily get him a high score, though!
0:16:31 > 0:16:34Woody seems to still have a bone to pick with our skittle.
0:16:34 > 0:16:36Are you ready? One more go.
0:16:36 > 0:16:37- Find the ball. - Woody's last attempt.
0:16:37 > 0:16:40No! He's determined to have it out with that skittle.
0:16:40 > 0:16:42Once Woody sets his mind to a task, he won't give up.
0:16:42 > 0:16:45A shame it's the wrong task in this situation.
0:16:45 > 0:16:47BEEPING On your barks, get set, go.
0:16:47 > 0:16:49- Woody, come! Target! - Tracy's using a new tactic.
0:16:49 > 0:16:51But Woody's having none of it.
0:16:51 > 0:16:54- He really wants that skittle! - LAUGHTER
0:16:58 > 0:17:01I'll just hold this one, shall we!
0:17:01 > 0:17:02Woody's done all he can for now.
0:17:02 > 0:17:05But had he left enough of a challenge for his competitors?
0:17:05 > 0:17:08He certainly gave that skittle the fight of its life.
0:17:08 > 0:17:10CHEERING Well done, Woody.
0:17:10 > 0:17:15So, at the end of the three rounds, and two skittles killed,
0:17:15 > 0:17:17you actually scored nine, well done! APPLAUSE
0:17:17 > 0:17:19Oh, yes!
0:17:19 > 0:17:22- You've got nine to beat. Are you ready?- No pressure, then!
0:17:22 > 0:17:25On your barks, get set, go.
0:17:27 > 0:17:30And, a light kick from Tom gets the ball rolling.
0:17:30 > 0:17:32- Tara sends it straight up the field. - Get it!
0:17:32 > 0:17:35Two skittles over. And the ball's out of play.
0:17:35 > 0:17:37Well done, thank you very much, you get your next roll.
0:17:37 > 0:17:40Tara knocked the ball, looked for reassurance from Tom.
0:17:40 > 0:17:43The ball had already crossed the line.
0:17:43 > 0:17:46- Go get it, go on! - CHEERING
0:17:46 > 0:17:50Now, Tara has sent the ball sideways, and looks ready to pounce.
0:17:50 > 0:17:51CHEERING
0:17:51 > 0:17:53Get it, that's a girl.
0:17:53 > 0:17:57There she goes, another skittle down... Two, three.
0:17:57 > 0:18:00She seems to think she's done enough.
0:18:00 > 0:18:02But Tom makes it clear she needs to push it further.
0:18:04 > 0:18:07Collies have an instinct to herd things.
0:18:07 > 0:18:10You can see that she's trying to do that with this ball.
0:18:11 > 0:18:14Go get it. Go get it.
0:18:14 > 0:18:15Oh! Right out of the field there.
0:18:15 > 0:18:18APPLAUSE
0:18:18 > 0:18:21I'm afraid we have to disqualify that.
0:18:22 > 0:18:24No. She's still going around the set.
0:18:24 > 0:18:28As a specialist avalanche dog, Tara is happiest working on the snow.
0:18:28 > 0:18:31But it was her going off piste in this challenge.
0:18:31 > 0:18:32APPLAUSE
0:18:32 > 0:18:34Congratulations, that was quite something.
0:18:34 > 0:18:37She can now balance a giant ball on her nose.
0:18:37 > 0:18:39- SHE LAUGHS Good trick.- Very useful!?
0:18:39 > 0:18:42THEY LAUGH The score to beat was nine.
0:18:42 > 0:18:46And Tara managed, in the end, to knock down five skittles.
0:18:46 > 0:18:48APPLAUSE But well done to Tara.
0:18:48 > 0:18:53Many congratulations to Team Peaches, the winners of the third round.
0:18:53 > 0:18:55APPLAUSE
0:18:55 > 0:18:57Now, adding that to the overall score,
0:18:57 > 0:19:01means Team Sally are now in the lead by two games to one.
0:19:01 > 0:19:03And that 2-1 lead of theirs will earn them
0:19:03 > 0:19:07a very handy time advantage in the final, deciding game.
0:19:07 > 0:19:09Get ready, people, it's time for The Bark Off.
0:19:09 > 0:19:11APPLAUSE
0:19:16 > 0:19:17This is a relay race.
0:19:17 > 0:19:20The course will be completed one dog at a time.
0:19:20 > 0:19:23Now, if an obstacle is refused or incorrectly cleared
0:19:23 > 0:19:26then they'll hear this sound... BUZZER
0:19:26 > 0:19:28They will only get two attempts at each obstacle,
0:19:28 > 0:19:30and they cannot move on until they hear this sound.
0:19:30 > 0:19:31DING
0:19:31 > 0:19:34The team that completes the course in the fastest time will take overall
0:19:34 > 0:19:38victory and be in with a chance of going through to the grand final.
0:19:38 > 0:19:40Team Sally are in the lead,
0:19:40 > 0:19:44which means that Team Peaches have the pressure of going first,
0:19:44 > 0:19:46and because they're lagging behind two games to one,
0:19:46 > 0:19:51they'll be starting their run with 15 seconds already added to the clock.
0:19:51 > 0:19:55It's time now to play The Bark Off.
0:19:55 > 0:19:56CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:19:57 > 0:19:58OK, are you ready?
0:19:59 > 0:20:02On your barks, get set, go.
0:20:04 > 0:20:05Fay and Ernie are off.
0:20:05 > 0:20:09Ernie starts off going the wrong way over Stonehenge.
0:20:09 > 0:20:12Fixes the direction though, and he's shooting over Tower Bridge.
0:20:12 > 0:20:14He's not even going to slow down for the tube.
0:20:17 > 0:20:20Oh, he's overshot Swindon Roundabout. That's more like it.
0:20:22 > 0:20:23- DING - Excellent.
0:20:23 > 0:20:27Fay and Ernie have been in a dog display team for three years.
0:20:27 > 0:20:29They've performed all over the country at charity events
0:20:29 > 0:20:32and in schools, and Ernie's certainly putting in a fine
0:20:32 > 0:20:34performance in The Bark Off so far.
0:20:36 > 0:20:39Fay's taking Ernie over the Giant's Causeway.
0:20:39 > 0:20:41Looks like the right decision. Lovely stuff.
0:20:43 > 0:20:45- Stay.- Time for the ferry ride.
0:20:48 > 0:20:49Ah-ah-ah.
0:20:49 > 0:20:51Have to say, Ernie looks as comfortable
0:20:51 > 0:20:53on the open water as on dry land.
0:20:55 > 0:20:56He's done it.
0:20:56 > 0:20:59Two hops and a jump later and they're done.
0:21:00 > 0:21:03Woody and Tracy up next.
0:21:03 > 0:21:04Woody, over.
0:21:04 > 0:21:06Now, she's head trainer at a dog training centre,
0:21:06 > 0:21:10so she'll be hoping that Woody doesn't show her up.
0:21:10 > 0:21:12Well, his crossing of Tower Bridge certainly would give Tracy
0:21:12 > 0:21:15nothing to worry about. Marvellous stuff.
0:21:18 > 0:21:22Oh, Woody's larking around as Tracy comes out of the tunnel.
0:21:22 > 0:21:24His head's back in the game now.
0:21:24 > 0:21:27Woody's the second member of Team Peaches to take the Causeway.
0:21:27 > 0:21:31- Nicely done.- I'm looking forward to watching this ferry ride.
0:21:31 > 0:21:34No, Woody climbs straight out of the ferry. That's better.
0:21:37 > 0:21:39Now he's settled in, he really does look comfortable with
0:21:39 > 0:21:41life on the open waves.
0:21:43 > 0:21:45Stay.
0:21:45 > 0:21:46Stay. Good. Stay.
0:21:46 > 0:21:48LAUGHTER
0:21:49 > 0:21:51Good boy.
0:21:51 > 0:21:54- Good boy.- Wow, what a wonderful calm crossing.
0:21:54 > 0:21:57Despite his earlier antics, Woody really paying testament to
0:21:57 > 0:22:00Tracy's training skills in this challenge.
0:22:00 > 0:22:03Racing over the last two jumps. A great finish for Woody.
0:22:05 > 0:22:07Peaches and Parper start their epic trek across the landmarks
0:22:07 > 0:22:09of Great Britain.
0:22:11 > 0:22:15Now Peaches tells us that Parper was given his name because he has...
0:22:15 > 0:22:17How can I put this? ..a bit of a wind problem.
0:22:20 > 0:22:21DING OK, you can move over
0:22:21 > 0:22:22to the next jump.
0:22:22 > 0:22:25Well, despite that, he clearly has no problem with sitting and staying.
0:22:25 > 0:22:28Has Peaches finally got the control of Parper that was
0:22:28 > 0:22:29missing in the earlier game?
0:22:31 > 0:22:34Wow, starting the weave nicely.
0:22:34 > 0:22:35Come on, Parpy.
0:22:35 > 0:22:37- No, no, he's lost it. - BUZZER
0:22:37 > 0:22:40Try and do the stepping stones, Peaches.
0:22:40 > 0:22:42Yeah, he needs to try the Giant's Causeway instead.
0:22:43 > 0:22:44BUZZER
0:22:44 > 0:22:47No, no, it looks like Parper's back to his old self.
0:22:47 > 0:22:50Very social, though, having a chat with the camera crew.
0:22:52 > 0:22:54Parpy, in your bed. Stay.
0:22:54 > 0:22:55Lie down.
0:22:55 > 0:22:56There we go, he's in the boat.
0:22:56 > 0:22:58Is he going to stay there though?
0:22:58 > 0:23:00BUZZER
0:23:00 > 0:23:03- No. Straight out. - He has to go back in.
0:23:03 > 0:23:05Parpy, come on. In your bed, in your bed.
0:23:05 > 0:23:08- Back in.- Sit.- Can he do it?
0:23:08 > 0:23:09Stay, Parper.
0:23:09 > 0:23:10- No. - BUZZER
0:23:12 > 0:23:13- OK, move on.- Parpy, come on.
0:23:13 > 0:23:17Yep. Parper's really going out of his way to avoid the last two jumps.
0:23:17 > 0:23:20- Sorry.- There we go, a bit of a chat with the audience.
0:23:20 > 0:23:22Vital seconds ticking away though.
0:23:26 > 0:23:27He's finally through John O'Groats.
0:23:27 > 0:23:30Not the best run we've seen, I'm afraid, Parper.
0:23:30 > 0:23:31CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:23:36 > 0:23:40Well done, Team Peaches, you did that in 4 minutes and 38 seconds.
0:23:40 > 0:23:45- Really good time.- Not bad. - OK, Team Sally, are you ready to go?
0:23:45 > 0:23:47Yeah, we're ready.
0:23:47 > 0:23:50On your barks, get set, go.
0:23:50 > 0:23:54Nicci and Leo kicking things off for Team Sally. Wow, look at him go.
0:23:54 > 0:23:57Leo's a speed demon. Unbelievable acceleration.
0:23:59 > 0:24:00Stay. Stay.
0:24:00 > 0:24:02And staying well.
0:24:02 > 0:24:03DING
0:24:03 > 0:24:05Nicci studied animal behaviour at university.
0:24:05 > 0:24:07Leo was there at her graduation.
0:24:08 > 0:24:11Leo seems to be taking The Bark Off a little literally.
0:24:12 > 0:24:14Over Mount Snowdon.
0:24:14 > 0:24:16- Weave.- He's getting vocal again.
0:24:17 > 0:24:19CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:24:19 > 0:24:21You can see that he gives a bark every pole
0:24:21 > 0:24:22he goes through in the weave.
0:24:22 > 0:24:25Perhaps he's just celebrating a good run.
0:24:26 > 0:24:29- Very quickly taking a seat in the ferry.- This dog is so fast.
0:24:32 > 0:24:34This might be the fastest time yet.
0:24:34 > 0:24:36This is amazing, that was very fast indeed.
0:24:39 > 0:24:40Tara's turn.
0:24:40 > 0:24:43Now Tom and Tara will be hoping to match Leo's success with their run.
0:24:45 > 0:24:48Seemed a little cautious there, but she's up and over.
0:24:50 > 0:24:53No delays on the tube for Tara. All running to schedule.
0:24:54 > 0:24:55Stay.
0:24:55 > 0:24:58Now Tom's leaving Tara on her own at the roundabout.
0:24:58 > 0:25:00It's a new tactic, but it's worked.
0:25:01 > 0:25:03- Through the tunnel.- Come on, then.
0:25:03 > 0:25:06Now, interestingly, Tara was such a quiet dog that Tom actually
0:25:06 > 0:25:08had to teach her how to bark.
0:25:09 > 0:25:13Yes, as an avid mountaineer, Tara traverses that peak easily.
0:25:14 > 0:25:16Giant's Causeway - no big deal for Tara.
0:25:18 > 0:25:19Into the ferry.
0:25:21 > 0:25:22Tara leaps aboard.
0:25:25 > 0:25:27A nice brisk pull across the Mersey.
0:25:29 > 0:25:31That's the fastest ferry ride yet.
0:25:31 > 0:25:34Hadrian's Wall, Forth Bridge, and now home.
0:25:35 > 0:25:37Our final Bark Off competitors today - Sally
0:25:37 > 0:25:39and Diggy making a solid start.
0:25:41 > 0:25:43Up, up, up, up. Good girl.
0:25:44 > 0:25:45Come on, baby.
0:25:47 > 0:25:49Through Barking tube.
0:25:51 > 0:25:54Up she gets. Lovely focus from Diggy there.
0:25:56 > 0:25:57DING
0:25:57 > 0:26:00Now Sally has numerous medals, including an Olympic gold.
0:26:00 > 0:26:02No doubt she'll be hoping to add winner of
0:26:02 > 0:26:05Sport Relief's Top Dog to her string of achievements.
0:26:05 > 0:26:06Up the mountain.
0:26:06 > 0:26:10Diggy isn't letting anything stand in her way. She's over Snowdon.
0:26:10 > 0:26:13Now it's a surefooted stroll across the Giant's Causeway.
0:26:15 > 0:26:17Confident stride there from Diggy.
0:26:17 > 0:26:21Sally clearly working hard to keep up the fast pace set by her team.
0:26:21 > 0:26:23Stay. Stay.
0:26:23 > 0:26:24Stay.
0:26:24 > 0:26:29Diggy's digging around in the bilges of the ferry there.
0:26:29 > 0:26:31Stay. Stay. Stay.
0:26:31 > 0:26:33Oh, she's bailed.
0:26:33 > 0:26:37Sally knows the way to Diggy's heart. Persuading her back on board.
0:26:38 > 0:26:39No, she's off again.
0:26:41 > 0:26:42Come on, then.
0:26:42 > 0:26:44OK, those last two obstacles less of a challenge.
0:26:44 > 0:26:46Diggy's finished the course.
0:26:46 > 0:26:47DING-DING
0:26:47 > 0:26:49CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:26:50 > 0:26:51You're so clever.
0:26:54 > 0:26:55Wow.
0:26:55 > 0:26:56OK.
0:26:56 > 0:26:59So if you remember, the time to beat from Team Peaches
0:26:59 > 0:27:02was 4 minutes and 38 seconds.
0:27:02 > 0:27:06- Would you like to know what your time was?- We do.- I think we do.
0:27:06 > 0:27:08Do you think you might have beaten that time?
0:27:08 > 0:27:10I think it's going to be close.
0:27:10 > 0:27:12You did it in...
0:27:12 > 0:27:153 minutes 19 seconds. The fastest of the series!
0:27:17 > 0:27:19Absolutely huge congratulations.
