0:00:02 > 0:00:0372 dogs.
0:00:03 > 0:00:0624 celebrity team captains.
0:00:09 > 0:00:13And one big tournament to find...
0:00:13 > 0:00:15Sport Relief's Top Dog.
0:00:17 > 0:00:20On tonight's show, Team Sharron.
0:00:20 > 0:00:23Sharron Davies, former Olympic swimming champion,
0:00:23 > 0:00:27and her pet British bulldog, Pig, are joined by assistance dog
0:00:27 > 0:00:30trainer Dawne Vosburgh from Buckinghamshire
0:00:30 > 0:00:34and her working chocolate Labrador, Tilly, a medical detection dog.
0:00:34 > 0:00:38And supply chain performance analyst Gareth Button from Coventry
0:00:38 > 0:00:40with his pet sheepdog, Emi.
0:00:42 > 0:00:45They're taking on Team Caprice.
0:00:45 > 0:00:49Caprice, a model and businesswoman, with her pet Chihuahua, Roly,
0:00:49 > 0:00:54is joined by director Neil Smith from Kent and his dog, Monty,
0:00:54 > 0:00:57a Leonberger who works as a therapy dog.
0:00:57 > 0:01:01And dog walker Charlotte Hickey from West Sussex with Coral,
0:01:01 > 0:01:02a pet springer spaniel.
0:01:04 > 0:01:07It's time for our two teams to go head-to-head,
0:01:07 > 0:01:09it's Sport Relief's Top Dog.
0:01:37 > 0:01:41Thank you. Hello and welcome to Sport Relief's Top Dog -
0:01:41 > 0:01:44the show where the dogs take the lead.
0:01:44 > 0:01:47So, let's crack straight on and meet tonight's star players.
0:01:50 > 0:01:52For Team Sharron, it's Sharron and...
0:01:52 > 0:01:55This is Pig. Named by the children because, as you can hear,
0:01:55 > 0:01:58she sounds a great deal like a pig rather than a dog. DOG GRUNTS
0:01:58 > 0:01:59Is she talking?
0:01:59 > 0:02:02She is. This is how she breathes all the time.
0:02:02 > 0:02:05She's not distressed or anything. She's excited to be out and about.
0:02:05 > 0:02:07Tell us about the breed
0:02:07 > 0:02:11because everybody is questioning the sound they make and the drooling.
0:02:11 > 0:02:14Is this what the breed always does?
0:02:14 > 0:02:16I think they probably have been too over-bred over the years.
0:02:16 > 0:02:19They've got very squat faces and large heads
0:02:19 > 0:02:21and it does make it difficult for them to breathe.
0:02:21 > 0:02:23We are hoping that will change
0:02:23 > 0:02:25because it's not terribly healthy for them.
0:02:25 > 0:02:29She's very lovable, I thoroughly recommend them as companions.
0:02:29 > 0:02:33- Wonderful. Welcome to Top Dog! - Thank you very much. Lovely to be here.
0:02:35 > 0:02:37- Dawne. Who is this, please? - This is Tilly.
0:02:37 > 0:02:40Tell me all about this amazing dog.
0:02:40 > 0:02:42Tilly is an ambassador for the charity I work for.
0:02:42 > 0:02:47We train them to detect things like cancer, type 1 diabetes -
0:02:47 > 0:02:50anything that's scent-based for a medical condition.
0:02:50 > 0:02:53That's amazing. Thank you very much indeed.
0:02:53 > 0:02:55APPLAUSE
0:02:55 > 0:02:58- Hello, Gareth.- This is Emi.
0:02:58 > 0:03:01This is a pet/companion-cum-flyball agility dog.
0:03:01 > 0:03:03She is so sweet. And she loves watching TV.
0:03:03 > 0:03:06Yeah, she loves watching TV, especially if dogs come on.
0:03:06 > 0:03:09She will enjoy this series, then! Even when she's not competing.
0:03:09 > 0:03:12I wish you the very best of luck. Let's hear it for Team Sharron!
0:03:12 > 0:03:16APPLAUSE
0:03:16 > 0:03:21Let's meet the team captain for Team Caprice, it's Caprice!
0:03:21 > 0:03:23APPLAUSE
0:03:23 > 0:03:27- Hello!- Oh, sweetheart.- Hello.
0:03:27 > 0:03:30- What's your name? - CAPRICE: My name is Roly.
0:03:30 > 0:03:36Everything is so dramatic until you give him a sausage.
0:03:36 > 0:03:39He eats sausages, he will do anything for it
0:03:39 > 0:03:43and he goes number one and number two all over the house!
0:03:43 > 0:03:46Seriously, I've gone through three dog whisperers.
0:03:46 > 0:03:49They are not trainable, these dogs.
0:03:49 > 0:03:54Roly. Don't do wee-wees on the carpet any more!
0:03:54 > 0:03:57It's worked. Caprice!
0:03:57 > 0:04:00APPLAUSE
0:04:00 > 0:04:04Now, what breed is this bear of a dog?
0:04:04 > 0:04:07- This is Monty and he is a Leonberger.- Can we get him to sit up?
0:04:07 > 0:04:09Monty, stand.
0:04:09 > 0:04:12Look at the size of... Oh, goodness me.
0:04:12 > 0:04:16He is a therapy dog and he goes into...
0:04:18 > 0:04:21..day centres to visit the elderly.
0:04:23 > 0:04:27- Yeah, he's a family pet, one of three.- Sorry?!
0:04:27 > 0:04:32- We have another two at home. - Of Leonbergers?- Yes. Slightly bigger than him.
0:04:32 > 0:04:38- Bigger than him?!- Yes. Let's hear it for Neil, thank you.
0:04:38 > 0:04:41- Hello, Charlotte. - Now, who have we got here?
0:04:41 > 0:04:44This is Coral, my rescue springer spaniel.
0:04:44 > 0:04:47She used to be terrified of other dogs, and being a dog walker
0:04:47 > 0:04:51I had to walk her around and slowly reintroduce her to other dogs.
0:04:51 > 0:04:54- How long did that take? - A few months.
0:04:54 > 0:04:56She was a dramatically changed dog
0:04:56 > 0:04:58Oh, how lovely.
0:04:58 > 0:05:01She seems so settled and happy here with all of the other dogs around.
0:05:01 > 0:05:04- Oh, yeah, she's really enjoying herself.- Wonderful.
0:05:04 > 0:05:07She's a really gentle dog. Best of luck to Team Caprice!
0:05:10 > 0:05:15So, let's introduce them to our first challenge - Top Gun Dog.
0:05:17 > 0:05:20APPLAUSE
0:05:22 > 0:05:26This is a game that not only tests the dogs' ability to retrieve from
0:05:26 > 0:05:30the water in the fastest time, but also the handler's shooting skills...
0:05:32 > 0:05:36..as they try to rack up as many points as possible.
0:05:36 > 0:05:39Every time the handler fires a shot, they must wait for their dog
0:05:39 > 0:05:42to retrieve the ball before they can reload and fire again.
0:05:42 > 0:05:46So as Neil and Monty... Would you like to go off and get ready?
0:05:46 > 0:05:47OK.
0:05:47 > 0:05:50APPLAUSE
0:05:50 > 0:05:54We can say hello to our resident water experts, David and Ellie.
0:05:54 > 0:05:55Give us a wave, Dave!
0:05:57 > 0:05:59Give it some welly, Ellie!
0:06:01 > 0:06:04Now, just before they jump, we are going to move out of the way
0:06:04 > 0:06:08because Monty weighs 10.5st!
0:06:09 > 0:06:11- Are you ready for this?- Yes.
0:06:11 > 0:06:13On your barks, get set, go!
0:06:16 > 0:06:20Now, all our doggy contestants are matched up to a game that
0:06:20 > 0:06:22suits them here on Top Dog.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25Leonbergers are naturally powerful dogs -
0:06:25 > 0:06:28look at the way Monty uses that muscle to drive through the water.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30Impressive stuff.
0:06:34 > 0:06:37It looks like a bull's-eye from Neil.
0:06:37 > 0:06:41Monty also dead on target, taking the ball in his mouth first time.
0:06:41 > 0:06:47Lovely aim from both of them. Sets his sights. Nice shot!
0:06:47 > 0:06:49Off goes Monty.
0:06:49 > 0:06:53Leonbergers are originally from the German town of Leonberg.
0:06:53 > 0:06:58Sadly they were nearly driven to extinction in the First World War.
0:06:58 > 0:07:00Whoa, Neil is on fire. Another well-aimed shot.
0:07:00 > 0:07:02The faster Monty gets the ball back to him,
0:07:02 > 0:07:06more opportunity to score points he will have before the time is up.
0:07:06 > 0:07:08BEEP BEEP!
0:07:08 > 0:07:11Wow, you can imagine the amount of power Monty has to generate
0:07:11 > 0:07:15to launch his ample frame across the water. Fantastic.
0:07:17 > 0:07:18- Well done.- Thank you.
0:07:18 > 0:07:20You, together, scored 70 points!
0:07:21 > 0:07:23APPLAUSE
0:07:23 > 0:07:27So, now let's see if Dawne and Tilly can beat that.
0:07:27 > 0:07:30- 70 points to beat. Are you ready? - Yes.
0:07:30 > 0:07:32On your barks, get set, go!
0:07:32 > 0:07:34There she goes.
0:07:34 > 0:07:37Tilly is trained as a gundog so retrieving should be
0:07:37 > 0:07:41second nature to her. She confidently grabs that ball.
0:07:41 > 0:07:45Wow, an athletic jump. She's keeping her head well up as well.
0:07:47 > 0:07:49Good girl.
0:07:51 > 0:07:53Good shooting from Dawne.
0:07:53 > 0:07:56Good girl!
0:07:56 > 0:07:58All those points she's scoring are adding up
0:07:58 > 0:08:00but are they enough to beat Neil and Monty?
0:08:03 > 0:08:07Was that a bull's-eye? We'll have to wait and see.
0:08:07 > 0:08:08Good girl!
0:08:08 > 0:08:12Tilly demonstrating the well-known doggy paddle technique there.
0:08:12 > 0:08:14Dawne squaring up.
0:08:14 > 0:08:18Nice shot but it has left Tilly with a longer swim.
0:08:18 > 0:08:20Really showing the calm nature of her breed.
0:08:20 > 0:08:24- You've got 15 seconds. - Come on, swim!
0:08:24 > 0:08:28Will she make it back before the buzzer?
0:08:29 > 0:08:33- Come on,- Dawne . One more!
0:08:33 > 0:08:36Dawne fires off a round, it's not quick enough.
0:08:36 > 0:08:40Dawne tells us that Tilly loves to be the centre of attention -
0:08:40 > 0:08:45a performance like that, she will be one very contented canine.
0:08:45 > 0:08:46APPLAUSE
0:08:46 > 0:08:49Well done to both of you.
0:08:49 > 0:08:52Now, we know that you earlier got 70 points,
0:08:52 > 0:08:56and I can tell you that you two got 65 points.
0:08:56 > 0:08:59So close! But well done.
0:09:01 > 0:09:03Aw, so happy!
0:09:03 > 0:09:07Many congratulations and now off you go to get dry, all of you!
0:09:12 > 0:09:15So, while the dogs get a proper rubdown, let's bring it on.
0:09:15 > 0:09:19It's Monty and Tilly doing the wet dog shaggy shake.
0:09:19 > 0:09:23# Shake your groove thing Shake your groove thing, yeah yeah
0:09:23 > 0:09:26# Show 'em how we do it, now
0:09:26 > 0:09:31# Shake your groove thing Shake your groove thing, yeah yeah
0:09:31 > 0:09:33# Show 'em how we do it. #
0:09:35 > 0:09:39Now, we love dogs on this show so we've recruited five highly
0:09:39 > 0:09:42experienced experts to take care of them.
0:09:42 > 0:09:44Reena Patel is our resident vet
0:09:44 > 0:09:48and senior clinician at her local practice.
0:09:48 > 0:09:50Roy Dyer is our canine consultant.
0:09:50 > 0:09:53He's been training dogs for over 50 years.
0:09:53 > 0:09:57Kristina Glover is a veterinary approved pet behaviour counsellor.
0:09:57 > 0:10:02David Pugh trains dogs to swim and save lives, and alongside him
0:10:02 > 0:10:04is his apprentice, Ellie Bedford.
0:10:04 > 0:10:06APPLAUSE
0:10:06 > 0:10:09Sadly, there's no time to PAWS, as we move
0:10:09 > 0:10:11straight on to our next game.
0:10:11 > 0:10:15This involves the dogs leaping over a series of hurdles in a race
0:10:15 > 0:10:16against one another.
0:10:16 > 0:10:19They'll have to release a ball at the opposite end
0:10:19 > 0:10:20and deliver it to their owner.
0:10:20 > 0:10:24The first dog to deliver three balls wins the heat.
0:10:24 > 0:10:26It's the best of three heats.
0:10:26 > 0:10:31So, please, if you could take your positions to play Hurdling Hounds.
0:10:31 > 0:10:33APPLAUSE
0:10:41 > 0:10:46OK, good luck, everybody. On your barks, get set, go! Go!
0:10:47 > 0:10:51Charlotte and Coral versus Gareth and Emi here.
0:10:51 > 0:10:53Tremendous speed from both dogs.
0:10:53 > 0:10:56Coral's got a ball and is heading back.
0:10:56 > 0:10:59They are neck-and-neck. Emi is lagging slightly
0:10:59 > 0:11:03but she's still performing admirably. Sailing over the hurdles.
0:11:03 > 0:11:05Coral's lead increasing.
0:11:05 > 0:11:08Sharron not looking too hopeful for her team-mates.
0:11:08 > 0:11:11Coral has finished, and having a well-deserved treat.
0:11:11 > 0:11:14- Emi not in such a hurry.- Well done.
0:11:14 > 0:11:17The first round went to Team Caprice.
0:11:17 > 0:11:21Coral the springer spaniel certainly lived up to the name of her
0:11:21 > 0:11:25breed as she sprang across the obstacles to win the first round.
0:11:25 > 0:11:29Team Sharron, you have to win this round to stay in the game.
0:11:29 > 0:11:31On your barks, get set, go.
0:11:32 > 0:11:33It's the best of three,
0:11:33 > 0:11:37and at the start of the second round they are very much neck-and-neck.
0:11:37 > 0:11:39Emi is slightly in the lead this time.
0:11:39 > 0:11:43But Coral executes a phenomenal turnaround to close the gap
0:11:43 > 0:11:45and bring them back to an equal footing.
0:11:45 > 0:11:48She's lost her concentration, Emi back in the front.
0:11:48 > 0:11:51Emi racing ahead now.
0:11:51 > 0:11:53And the round is Emi's. What a turnaround.
0:11:55 > 0:11:59That was incredible - round two goes to Team Sharron.
0:12:01 > 0:12:04Sheepdogs like Emi are known for being intelligent
0:12:04 > 0:12:06and able to pick up tasks quickly.
0:12:06 > 0:12:09Now she's got the idea behind this, she seems to be flourishing.
0:12:09 > 0:12:12One more round to go.
0:12:12 > 0:12:16OK, are you ready, everybody?
0:12:16 > 0:12:20This is for the points. On your barks, get set, go!
0:12:20 > 0:12:22Coral is first out of the gate
0:12:22 > 0:12:25but Emi has caught her up at the team captains.
0:12:27 > 0:12:31Side-by-side, it is any dog's game just now.
0:12:34 > 0:12:36Coral pulling ahead.
0:12:37 > 0:12:39It is close.
0:12:39 > 0:12:41Looks like Coral has done it.
0:12:44 > 0:12:45Good girl!
0:12:46 > 0:12:49When you see two dogs in head-to-head competition
0:12:49 > 0:12:51like this, it really makes you realise what
0:12:51 > 0:12:54beautiful and graceful creatures they are.
0:12:54 > 0:12:56Both of them showed remarkable prowess -
0:12:56 > 0:12:59their owners should feel really proud.
0:13:02 > 0:13:07Many congratulations. That was a victory for Coral and Team Caprice.
0:13:07 > 0:13:08Well done.
0:13:08 > 0:13:11APPLAUSE
0:13:12 > 0:13:16Which of course means, after two games, that Caprice is
0:13:16 > 0:13:18ahead by two games to nil.
0:13:23 > 0:13:26Now, everyone taking part tonight is here to support a really
0:13:26 > 0:13:29great cause and if all this canine caper has got you inspired,
0:13:29 > 0:13:32then why not join us to raise money and change lives?
0:13:32 > 0:13:36There are all sorts of ways you and your dog can get involved.
0:13:39 > 0:13:43The first ever Sport Relief Games take place
0:13:43 > 0:13:46from Friday 21st to Sunday 23rd March.
0:13:46 > 0:13:50The best way to join the fun and games is to sign up to run,
0:13:50 > 0:13:52cycle or swim.
0:13:52 > 0:13:55We just cycled for Sport Relief!
0:13:55 > 0:13:58But there are lots of other ways you can take part
0:13:58 > 0:14:01and raise money for Sport Relief along with your faithful friend.
0:14:01 > 0:14:05How about getting sponsored to go on a group dog walk?
0:14:05 > 0:14:07Or you could set up your own dog obstacle course
0:14:07 > 0:14:10and ask for donations to take part.
0:14:12 > 0:14:15For more ideas and to get your own fundraising kit,
0:14:15 > 0:14:17visit:
0:14:21 > 0:14:23Please do get involved.
0:14:23 > 0:14:25Sport Relief is working to save lives
0:14:25 > 0:14:27and to change them for the better.
0:14:27 > 0:14:30Every donation makes a vital difference.
0:14:30 > 0:14:33Now, it's time for our celebrity team captain Caprice
0:14:33 > 0:14:37and Roly and Sharron and Pig to play the next game.
0:14:37 > 0:14:40And it's a test of tasty temptation.
0:14:40 > 0:14:42Sitting face-to-face, the player must keep their dog's
0:14:42 > 0:14:48attention as a sausage is swung mere inches from their pal's face.
0:14:48 > 0:14:51However, should the dog lick the sausage or bite
0:14:51 > 0:14:55the sausage, our celebrity will fall from grace.
0:14:55 > 0:14:58How many swings of the sausage will each dog resist?
0:14:58 > 0:15:04Let's find out as we play Swing Low Sweet Chewy Sausage.
0:15:04 > 0:15:06LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE
0:15:12 > 0:15:16Team Sharron is in position. So, are you ready?
0:15:16 > 0:15:22- Ready as we're ever going to be, I think.- On your barks, get set, go!
0:15:23 > 0:15:27No. No, no, no, no. Ah, ah, ah, ah!
0:15:27 > 0:15:31- No!- Straightaway Pig is focusing more on that sausage than on Sharron.
0:15:31 > 0:15:34No! LAUGHTER
0:15:34 > 0:15:37Good girl. Ah, ah. No!
0:15:37 > 0:15:40Sharron is bravely attempting to pull back Pig's attention.
0:15:40 > 0:15:43She is enraptured by the porky pendulum.
0:15:43 > 0:15:45Reverse. Reverse.
0:15:45 > 0:15:47Despite their imposing features, the bulldog is said to be
0:15:47 > 0:15:50an excellent family pet who forms strong bonds with children.
0:15:50 > 0:15:52I can't tell you about kids
0:15:52 > 0:15:55but Pig is definitely forming a strong bond with that sausage.
0:15:55 > 0:15:59- She wants the sausage. - Tremendous self-control from Pig.
0:15:59 > 0:16:01Come on, you lot. This is terribly unfair.
0:16:01 > 0:16:04- I'm going to eat the sausage in a minute.- Even Sharron's tempted.
0:16:04 > 0:16:07No! Oh! LAUGHTER
0:16:07 > 0:16:09BELL SOUNDS
0:16:09 > 0:16:10Well done!
0:16:10 > 0:16:13- APPLAUSE - Incredible!
0:16:13 > 0:16:16Denying every instinct, Pig has stoically resisted
0:16:16 > 0:16:20the swinging sausage and given Sharron's team a perfect score.
0:16:20 > 0:16:22That'll do, Pig. That'll do.
0:16:24 > 0:16:28Congratulations! Especially to Pig, who resisted all temptation.
0:16:28 > 0:16:30I am amazed.
0:16:30 > 0:16:33Let's see if Caprice and Roly can do as well.
0:16:33 > 0:16:37Now, it is 20 swings that Roly has to resist the sausage for.
0:16:38 > 0:16:43- On your barks, get set, go! - OK, sweetheart.
0:16:43 > 0:16:46Roly clearly worried by the enormity of this challenge.
0:16:46 > 0:16:50- Just look at those puppy dog eyes. - Look at Mommy. Look at Mommy.
0:16:50 > 0:16:55I will give you three sausages if you don't eat this one sausage...
0:16:55 > 0:16:58- That's a deal, Caprice. - I'm not lying. I'm going to do it.
0:16:58 > 0:17:01OK. Now focus on Momma's eyes.
0:17:02 > 0:17:05Caprice using a clever combination of bribery
0:17:05 > 0:17:09and positive reinforcement to control the wild beast in Roly.
0:17:09 > 0:17:12So gosh-darn cute! Oh, sweetheart! You look so cute!
0:17:12 > 0:17:15Considering what Caprice told us
0:17:15 > 0:17:17earlier about Roly's uncontrolled love of sausages,
0:17:17 > 0:17:21his ability to resist the pork product is incredible.
0:17:21 > 0:17:22Sweetheart! LAUGHTER
0:17:22 > 0:17:24Mommy's so proud of you.
0:17:26 > 0:17:29Roly clearly determined not to be the WURST at this game.
0:17:29 > 0:17:32Oh! APPLAUSE
0:17:32 > 0:17:34- BELL SOUNDS - He's done it!
0:17:34 > 0:17:36You've won!
0:17:36 > 0:17:40Roly brushed aside the banger and came in equal with Pig.
0:17:43 > 0:17:47- CHEERING AND APPLAUSE - Congratulations as well to Roly,
0:17:47 > 0:17:50- who also managed to resist 20 swings of the sausage.- I know!
0:17:50 > 0:17:54APPLAUSE That was such a mean thing.
0:17:54 > 0:17:57Because you both have the same score we are in a tie-break situation.
0:17:57 > 0:18:00Could you give us a squeak of your squeaker please, Caprice?
0:18:00 > 0:18:02- TOY SQUEAKS - And Sharron.
0:18:02 > 0:18:06- TOY OINKS - OK. For the point. Here we go.
0:18:06 > 0:18:09In Harry Potter And The Philosopher's Stone,
0:18:09 > 0:18:12what was the name of the three-headed guard dog?
0:18:12 > 0:18:16- A) Bubbles. B) Fluffy. C) Cuddles. - TOY OINKS
0:18:16 > 0:18:19- Sharron.- Fluffy.- Correct.
0:18:19 > 0:18:22You get the point. Well done.
0:18:22 > 0:18:24I had no idea. APPLAUSE
0:18:24 > 0:18:28Let's have a look and see what that does to the overall score.
0:18:28 > 0:18:30It is now 2-1. Many congratulations to you.
0:18:34 > 0:18:37And the 2-1 lead will earn you a very,
0:18:37 > 0:18:40very handy time advantage in the final deciding game.
0:18:40 > 0:18:44Gather round, people. It's time for the Bark Off!
0:18:44 > 0:18:46CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:18:49 > 0:18:51Now, this is a relay race.
0:18:51 > 0:18:53The course will be completed one dog at a time.
0:18:53 > 0:18:56If an obstacle is refused or incorrectly cleared,
0:18:56 > 0:18:58- they will hear this sound... - KLAXON SOUNDS
0:18:58 > 0:19:00They will only get two attempts at each obstacle
0:19:00 > 0:19:03and they cannot move on until they hear this sound.
0:19:03 > 0:19:06- BELL RINGS - Thank you very much.
0:19:06 > 0:19:09The team who completes the course in the fastest time will take overall
0:19:09 > 0:19:13victory and be in with a chance of going through to the grand final.
0:19:13 > 0:19:16Team Caprice is in the lead, which means that Team Sharron
0:19:16 > 0:19:18have the pressure of going first.
0:19:18 > 0:19:22And because they are lagging behind 2-1, they will be starting
0:19:22 > 0:19:26their run with 15 seconds already added to the clock.
0:19:26 > 0:19:30- It's time now to play the Bark Off. - APPLAUSE
0:19:30 > 0:19:32OK. Are you ready?
0:19:32 > 0:19:36On your barks, get set, go.
0:19:36 > 0:19:39Gareth and Emi start confidently over Stonehenge,
0:19:39 > 0:19:41dashing over the bridge. Lovely.
0:19:41 > 0:19:44- Tunnel. That's it, good girl. Come here.- Look at that tail wagging.
0:19:44 > 0:19:46Now, is she going to have the discipline required
0:19:46 > 0:19:49- at Swindon's Magic Roundabout? - BELL RINGS
0:19:49 > 0:19:51Well done.
0:19:51 > 0:19:56- Over.- Bounding over Sherwood Forest. - Get in the tunnel! Yes!
0:19:56 > 0:20:00Through the tunnel and Gareth pointing the way. Off she goes.
0:20:01 > 0:20:05Emi's won over 20 rosettes in agility and flyball
0:20:05 > 0:20:09- and that is certainly a sure-footed weave.- There you go.
0:20:09 > 0:20:12- Will Emi be comfortable crossing the open water?- Stay!
0:20:12 > 0:20:17So far, so good. She doesn't look totally comfortable, though.
0:20:17 > 0:20:20- Stay.- I think she's looking for the life jackets.
0:20:20 > 0:20:23Nerves holding, though.
0:20:23 > 0:20:25- Good work, Emi. - APPLAUSE
0:20:25 > 0:20:28Over. Over. Through. Through. Through.
0:20:28 > 0:20:31Travelling north over Hadrian's Wall, the Forth Bridge
0:20:31 > 0:20:33- and they've done it. - OK. Your turn.
0:20:33 > 0:20:36- APPLAUSE - As Dawne and Tilly start their run,
0:20:36 > 0:20:39it looks like Tilly is more interested in playing than running.
0:20:39 > 0:20:44- Steady.- Fine crossing of the Thames. Descending to the Tube.- Good girl.
0:20:44 > 0:20:48- Straight onto the sit-and-stay. - On this. Sit.
0:20:48 > 0:20:50Working with medical detection dogs,
0:20:50 > 0:20:52Tilly is used to following instructions.
0:20:52 > 0:20:54The model of obedience. Well done, Tilly.
0:20:54 > 0:20:57- LAUGHTER - She has boarded the famous ferry.
0:20:57 > 0:20:59Will she remain on-board?
0:20:59 > 0:21:02- No! She has walked the plank! - KLAXON SOUNDS
0:21:02 > 0:21:05Back in, but she needs to complete the crossing
0:21:05 > 0:21:07to pass this obstacle.
0:21:07 > 0:21:10# Ferry cross the Mersey... #
0:21:10 > 0:21:13- Wait. Wait. Wait. - Will she or won't she?
0:21:13 > 0:21:15- Good girl!- Lovely.
0:21:15 > 0:21:20It seems Tilly can't get enough of her new favourite mode of transport.
0:21:20 > 0:21:22She has left something below deck!
0:21:22 > 0:21:24Dawne brings her back to the challenge
0:21:24 > 0:21:27- but they've lost vital seconds. - Yeah!
0:21:29 > 0:21:32- Team leader Sharron and her bulldog, Pig, up next.- Good girl.
0:21:32 > 0:21:37- Come on.- Pig taking the slow and steady approach to Tower Bridge.
0:21:38 > 0:21:40Through there.
0:21:40 > 0:21:43She's not fast but there is a solid confidence to her style.
0:21:45 > 0:21:48- Quick, quick, quick! Come on.- A slow meander.
0:21:48 > 0:21:53I can see that Pig's enjoying this. She's grinning from ear to ear.
0:21:53 > 0:21:57- A stand-and-stay for the bulldog. - Good girl. Good girl.
0:21:57 > 0:21:59BELL RINGS
0:21:59 > 0:22:01The adjudicator is satisfied, she can move on.
0:22:01 > 0:22:05- Over the jump.- Come on.
0:22:05 > 0:22:08A nimble little hop and she's over the smaller Sherwood Forest jump.
0:22:08 > 0:22:12Travelling side-by-side through the Welsh train tunnel.
0:22:12 > 0:22:15Pig's looking more comfortable than Sharron here.
0:22:15 > 0:22:18Sharron has decided that Pig's skill set is more suited to the
0:22:18 > 0:22:23- Giant's Causeway than the weave. And she's not wrong.- Now the ferry.
0:22:23 > 0:22:26Now she's spotted the mighty vessel ahead.
0:22:26 > 0:22:29- Looks like she is having second thoughts.- Sit.
0:22:29 > 0:22:32Lie down. Lie down.
0:22:32 > 0:22:35- Lie down.- Solidly in position...
0:22:35 > 0:22:38- Hope Pig doesn't get seasick. - Ah, ah, ah!
0:22:38 > 0:22:41Oh, she's dived overboard. She is swimming for shore.
0:22:41 > 0:22:43- She isn't stopping.- Pig. Piggy.
0:22:43 > 0:22:45She really isn't a fan of river travel.
0:22:45 > 0:22:47Looks like she is heading for the exit.
0:22:47 > 0:22:49We won't do that one, darling - come on.
0:22:49 > 0:22:52Sharron and Pig reunite and after a few encouraging words,
0:22:52 > 0:22:56- Bulldog is back on track. Over Hadrian's Wall.- And one more.
0:22:56 > 0:23:00Looking like she would rather not cross the Forth Bridge.
0:23:00 > 0:23:02- APPLAUSE - Through the end.
0:23:03 > 0:23:08- With some loving guidance from Sharron, they've done it.- Baby!
0:23:08 > 0:23:11CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:23:13 > 0:23:16Well done to Team Sharron. Would you like to know your time?
0:23:16 > 0:23:21Five minutes, 21 seconds. Congratulations to you guys.
0:23:22 > 0:23:26- Team Caprice, you know the time you have to beat. Are you ready?- Yes.
0:23:26 > 0:23:29On your barks, get set, go.
0:23:29 > 0:23:32Charlotte and Coral making a speedy start.
0:23:32 > 0:23:34Up and over Tower Bridge, heading straight for the Tube.
0:23:34 > 0:23:37Coral has been playing flyball for two and a half years
0:23:37 > 0:23:40and is on her local team.
0:23:40 > 0:23:42The speed she needs for that is being put to good use
0:23:42 > 0:23:45in this Bark Off.
0:23:45 > 0:23:48- Good sit-and-stay. - BELL RINGS
0:23:48 > 0:23:50Here we go.
0:23:50 > 0:23:52- Coral nearly misses tunnel. - Good girl.
0:23:52 > 0:23:55Squeezes past Charlotte to dash over Mount Snowdon.
0:23:55 > 0:23:59- Weave, weave, weave.- Beautiful weave!
0:24:00 > 0:24:04- APPLAUSE - A tight, skilful weave from Coral.
0:24:04 > 0:24:08- Wait.- Coral is on the ferry. She struck a lovely pose there.
0:24:08 > 0:24:13- She loved that.- What a stylish approach to this obstacle.
0:24:13 > 0:24:16Coral has been kayaking with Charlotte in the past
0:24:16 > 0:24:19and being aboard holds no worries for her. Magnificent.
0:24:19 > 0:24:21Good girl.
0:24:22 > 0:24:24Your turn.
0:24:24 > 0:24:28Working for Pets As Therapy, Monty has to be good at cuddling,
0:24:28 > 0:24:30- as we can see here. - LAUGHTER
0:24:33 > 0:24:37- Monty making light work of Tower Bridge.- Tunnel.
0:24:37 > 0:24:40- Tunnel.- I think he may be claustrophobic.
0:24:40 > 0:24:42He's doing everything he can to avoid the Tube.
0:24:44 > 0:24:46Neil gently guiding him through.
0:24:46 > 0:24:49Looks like Monty would rather dance with Neil than move on
0:24:49 > 0:24:52with the game. Nice moves, though, Monty.
0:24:53 > 0:24:57Monty only just fits onto the roundabout
0:24:57 > 0:24:59but he is staying there now he is on.
0:24:59 > 0:25:02- BELL RINGS - Deciding to take the small jump.
0:25:02 > 0:25:05Let's see if he has conquered his fear of tunnels.
0:25:05 > 0:25:08- How are you both going to fit in there?- That is a tight squeeze.
0:25:08 > 0:25:10No hesitation from Monty.
0:25:10 > 0:25:12Again, Monty's playful nature not helping him save time,
0:25:12 > 0:25:15but at least he is enjoying himself.
0:25:15 > 0:25:18- 10.5st of dog, everybody. - KLAXON SOUNDS
0:25:18 > 0:25:22Monty has kicked the boat away in his haste to disembark.
0:25:22 > 0:25:25I think if YOU sit in it, and he'll pull you along...
0:25:25 > 0:25:29- LAUGHTER - He only just fits in the vessel.
0:25:31 > 0:25:34- LAUGHTER - He is off the boat again.
0:25:34 > 0:25:36Move on. Monty, do a couple of jumps, go on.
0:25:36 > 0:25:39Not the most successful run of the Bark Off that we've seen.
0:25:39 > 0:25:42The important thing is that Monty clearly enjoyed it.
0:25:42 > 0:25:45- APPLAUSE - Caprice, your turn.
0:25:45 > 0:25:48Caprice and Roly starting their journey.
0:25:48 > 0:25:51Caprice is holding a container of treats.
0:25:51 > 0:25:54She seems to know exactly how to motivate Roly.
0:25:55 > 0:25:58Roly is so intent on the contents of that the bucket
0:25:58 > 0:26:01he hardly notices he is crossing Tower Bridge.
0:26:01 > 0:26:05Caprice has thrown in the treat like bait. Come round the other side.
0:26:05 > 0:26:09She's drawing him out with the promise of even more tasty titbits.
0:26:09 > 0:26:13APPLAUSE OK. Let's try this. Sit. Stay. Stay.
0:26:13 > 0:26:15Roly's sitting well...
0:26:15 > 0:26:17- BELL RINGS - And he's done it!
0:26:17 > 0:26:19APPLAUSE Come on, baby.
0:26:19 > 0:26:24- Moving on over the Sherwood Forest jump.- Come to Momma.
0:26:24 > 0:26:28Caprice is talking Roly through every aspect of the course.
0:26:28 > 0:26:30So much fun.
0:26:30 > 0:26:33More positive reinforcement from Caprice as Roly crosses
0:26:33 > 0:26:37- the next obstacle.- Roly. Yeah, this is so fun. Such a good boy.
0:26:40 > 0:26:45Roly cresting Snowdon's peak. One giant step for one tiny dog.
0:26:45 > 0:26:47That took Monty one step.
0:26:47 > 0:26:50Sensibly deciding to take the route across the Giant's Causeway.
0:26:50 > 0:26:54- Up in the ship.- Caprice gives him a helping hand into the boat.
0:26:54 > 0:26:57Caprice has given him something more substantial there.
0:26:57 > 0:27:02- That's where the sausage went from the game.- Lovely!
0:27:02 > 0:27:05It looks like Roly finally got his sausage.
0:27:05 > 0:27:08What better way to enjoy it than crossing the beautiful Mersey?
0:27:08 > 0:27:14- Come here, my big boy.- And he hops. Over the last few jumps.- Here we go.
0:27:14 > 0:27:16Ready? Go get him!
0:27:16 > 0:27:19And he has made it. Caprice is jubilant.
0:27:19 > 0:27:22- Nicely done. - APPLAUSE
0:27:22 > 0:27:27The time to beat was five minutes and 21 seconds.
0:27:27 > 0:27:32And I can reveal that you managed it in a time of...
0:27:33 > 0:27:37- ..four minutes, 35 seconds. - CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:27:37 > 0:27:41Huge congratulations to Team Caprice for winning tonight's show,
0:27:41 > 0:27:44for which each of your dogs gets a dog toy.
0:27:44 > 0:27:48But was it fast enough to qualify for the semifinals?
0:27:48 > 0:27:51Only the top four winning times of the series will make it through.
0:27:51 > 0:27:55And your time of 4:35 puts you in sixth position.
0:27:58 > 0:28:03Well done, though. Commiserations. And a very respectful time indeed.
