0:00:02 > 0:00:06Our 15,000 year old partnership with man's best friend is breaking down.
0:00:10 > 0:00:12No! Ah, no!
0:00:12 > 0:00:14Sit!
0:00:14 > 0:00:19Britain has more badly behaved dogs than ever before.
0:00:19 > 0:00:21No, go away, go.
0:00:21 > 0:00:25Dog bites alone have tripled in the last seven years.
0:00:25 > 0:00:27Chica, come here!
0:00:27 > 0:00:30DOGS SNARL
0:00:32 > 0:00:35But don't blame the dogs...
0:00:35 > 0:00:39because experts agree their owners are to blame.
0:00:39 > 0:00:42Instead of controlling them, I'd rather just play with them.
0:00:42 > 0:00:43Chico, oi!
0:00:45 > 0:00:50In this series, 12 out of control dog owners...
0:00:50 > 0:00:53He does not listen to a word that I say, it's just a nightmare.
0:00:53 > 0:00:56..who have reached breaking point...
0:00:56 > 0:01:00Supposed to be one of my best friends and I don't feel like he is.
0:01:00 > 0:01:02..are leaving their dogs behind...
0:01:02 > 0:01:04I didn't even know stuff like that existed.
0:01:04 > 0:01:06Wow!
0:01:07 > 0:01:10..to be flown across the globe to meet the toughest
0:01:10 > 0:01:12working dog professionals.
0:01:12 > 0:01:15You are going to be the pack leader, you are going to be the dog's boss.
0:01:15 > 0:01:19They will live and work alongside dogs...
0:01:19 > 0:01:21It stinks in here!
0:01:21 > 0:01:22..that herd...
0:01:22 > 0:01:23Spice, to me!
0:01:23 > 0:01:25..race...
0:01:25 > 0:01:28Don't ever, ever let that go! Those are MY dogs.
0:01:28 > 0:01:29..act...
0:01:29 > 0:01:31Hold it.
0:01:31 > 0:01:32..and track.
0:01:32 > 0:01:35Come on, good boy!
0:01:35 > 0:01:39Have they got what it takes to master these dogs...
0:01:39 > 0:01:40It's too heavy!
0:01:40 > 0:01:42Do not swear at me!
0:01:42 > 0:01:43Look out, look out!
0:01:44 > 0:01:46..and their own lives?
0:01:46 > 0:01:50Because it's not just their dogs that need to change.
0:01:55 > 0:01:59Meet 29-year-old sales executive Ronnie Ahmed.
0:01:59 > 0:02:03His 16-month-old pug Bella is in control of every aspect of his life.
0:02:05 > 0:02:08Bella might be tiny, but she's ruling Ronnie
0:02:08 > 0:02:10and girlfriend Hayley's life.
0:02:10 > 0:02:11Bella, naughty!
0:02:11 > 0:02:14This dog doesn't do anything she's told.
0:02:14 > 0:02:15Bella, come on, pack it in, please.
0:02:15 > 0:02:17She constantly seeks attention...
0:02:17 > 0:02:19Bella!
0:02:19 > 0:02:21..and is destroying the house.
0:02:21 > 0:02:23Constant chewing, biting, weeing on the sofa.
0:02:23 > 0:02:26There's a big one under there.
0:02:26 > 0:02:28She is generally the complete nightmare of a dog.
0:02:29 > 0:02:31The couple got Bella over a year ago.
0:02:31 > 0:02:35We decided to get a dog as we felt that we needed something extra in our relationship,
0:02:35 > 0:02:38and wanted to go to the next level but we weren't ready for kids.
0:02:38 > 0:02:40But having kids might have been easier.
0:02:40 > 0:02:42It's hard to get a good night's sleep.
0:02:42 > 0:02:46Physically, you've gotta keep running around after her,
0:02:46 > 0:02:49you've got to be on your guard, and emotionally, it just totally
0:02:49 > 0:02:51and utterly drains every bit of life out of you.
0:02:51 > 0:02:54- I'll be up in six hours, Ronnie. - I know.- Bella!
0:02:54 > 0:02:58Bella's bad behaviour isn't winning her any friends in Ronnie's family.
0:02:58 > 0:03:02What can we do with her? Something's going to have to be done.
0:03:02 > 0:03:05His dad has banned the dog from his house for being a nuisance.
0:03:05 > 0:03:09But he thinks he knows who's responsible for creating this little monster.
0:03:09 > 0:03:12I think a lot of Bella's misbehaviour's caused through Ronnie
0:03:12 > 0:03:15and Hayley. They treat her like a little child
0:03:15 > 0:03:16instead of her being a dog.
0:03:16 > 0:03:20She's really spoilt, yeah, but can't help it.
0:03:20 > 0:03:22It's me baby, me little dog, so I've got to do it for her really.
0:03:22 > 0:03:27Ronnie's treating Bella like a kid but she's stopping the couple
0:03:27 > 0:03:29from taking the next step in their relationship.
0:03:29 > 0:03:32It's the time now that's right for us to have kids
0:03:32 > 0:03:35but Bella's too much of a handful and wouldn't allow us
0:03:35 > 0:03:38to have that sort of freedom in our life to have kids.
0:03:38 > 0:03:40Ronnie got Bella to create the family unit
0:03:40 > 0:03:43he missed out on as a child.
0:03:43 > 0:03:47He was 12 when his parents divorced and he hasn't seen his mum since.
0:03:47 > 0:03:50I do feel that it's the affection that he had for his mother
0:03:50 > 0:03:52that he's now giving to the dog.
0:03:52 > 0:03:56But instead of giving the love back, Bella is driving a wedge
0:03:56 > 0:03:58between Ronnie and Hayley.
0:03:58 > 0:04:00Out! Get out!
0:04:00 > 0:04:02It's tearing a hole in mine and Hayley's relationship.
0:04:02 > 0:04:04You're absolutely destroying everything!
0:04:04 > 0:04:07Get at her, don't keep telling me to get her all the time!
0:04:07 > 0:04:10'We have got to the point where it's been sort of breaking point.
0:04:10 > 0:04:13where we have talked about splitting up.
0:04:13 > 0:04:15- You do something. - It's me, I always do!
0:04:15 > 0:04:17- You don't at all.- I do.
0:04:17 > 0:04:20I don't know how I'd be able to look at the dog every day
0:04:20 > 0:04:23knowing that it was the dog's fault that my relationship finished.
0:04:27 > 0:04:31Over in Oxfordshire, meet Holly Gallienne-Schmidt.
0:04:32 > 0:04:35This 24-year-old beauty therapist should be in full control
0:04:35 > 0:04:37of her two-year-old toy dog, Alfie...
0:04:37 > 0:04:38Alfie, Alfie!
0:04:38 > 0:04:40..but she's not.
0:04:41 > 0:04:45I don't know how to train a dog. He can be an absolute nightmare.
0:04:45 > 0:04:46This way.
0:04:46 > 0:04:48This small dog is causing big problems.
0:04:48 > 0:04:51Alfie, come, come. Alfie!
0:04:51 > 0:04:53He doesn't listen to a word Holly says.
0:04:53 > 0:04:55I think he can't hear me, maybe he's deaf.
0:04:55 > 0:04:58Holly spoils Alfie like he's a little human.
0:04:58 > 0:05:01Alfie sits on my lap every time I get in the car,
0:05:01 > 0:05:03I don't know if it's legal or not.
0:05:03 > 0:05:07But he has no respect for Holly who hasn't even toilet trained him.
0:05:07 > 0:05:10Why bother when he can use the family home?
0:05:10 > 0:05:13He poos in the house as well as weeing everywhere.
0:05:13 > 0:05:16There's one, two, three, four...
0:05:16 > 0:05:18..eleven, twelve that I can see alone here.
0:05:18 > 0:05:22So my poor mum, she's going to have to eventually...
0:05:22 > 0:05:24Well, re-carpet her room.
0:05:24 > 0:05:28Holly still lives at her mum and stepdad's country pile.
0:05:28 > 0:05:31Mum's not impressed with Holly's dog training.
0:05:31 > 0:05:34I said to you, "Are you doing puppy classes?" How many did you go to?
0:05:34 > 0:05:37Holly's quite irresponsible when it comes to dog ownership,
0:05:37 > 0:05:39I don't think she's ever really thought it through.
0:05:39 > 0:05:41Mum never wanted Holly to get a dog of her own.
0:05:41 > 0:05:43I said, "You are joking, aren't you?"
0:05:43 > 0:05:46I said, "I'm telling you for now, you get that dog, you do not
0:05:46 > 0:05:48"live with us, we do not want another dog in the house."
0:05:48 > 0:05:50No, back.
0:05:50 > 0:05:52She did say, "You can't live here if you get him."
0:05:52 > 0:05:54I didn't think she'd do it but she did.
0:05:54 > 0:05:58It was a slap in the face for me cos I knew what the outcome would be.
0:05:58 > 0:06:02And she was right. Holly's let Alfie run amok in her life.
0:06:02 > 0:06:06Holly's friends blame her for Alfie's unruly behaviour too.
0:06:06 > 0:06:09She should be a lot more stricter with him, and I think
0:06:09 > 0:06:13if she was stricter at the beginning then he wouldn't be like this.
0:06:13 > 0:06:15Alfie's getting older and he's getting worse.
0:06:15 > 0:06:17Holly's gotta sort it out.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20I'd love to have a well-trained dog but I let him
0:06:20 > 0:06:23get away with most things just because he's, like, so cute.
0:06:25 > 0:06:27Two years of Alfie's mischief
0:06:27 > 0:06:30have piled pressure onto this family's relationships.
0:06:30 > 0:06:33The other day, he'd done a poo behind Jeremy's chair again.
0:06:33 > 0:06:35My mum is kind of in-between me and my stepdad.
0:06:35 > 0:06:39He'll be angry at my mum, my mum'll be angry at me - it's, like, chaos.
0:06:39 > 0:06:44So what will you do, Holly... before I end up getting a divorce?
0:06:44 > 0:06:48It's created a rift and it's carried on being bad.
0:06:48 > 0:06:52I mean, there's tension always because of Alfie.
0:06:52 > 0:06:54Holly's refusing to take things seriously
0:06:54 > 0:06:56and it's turning everyone against her.
0:06:56 > 0:06:59It's me and Alfie against the world.
0:07:02 > 0:07:05There's much debate about how to control dogs,
0:07:05 > 0:07:08but experts agree that the majority of problems are caused by the owner.
0:07:08 > 0:07:11To break this destructive cycle, Ronnie and Holly
0:07:11 > 0:07:14need dealing with first.
0:07:14 > 0:07:16They're going to leave their dogs and cross the world
0:07:16 > 0:07:21to spend a week learning specialist tips from some of the world's best dog handlers.
0:07:21 > 0:07:23Bye, Alfie!
0:07:23 > 0:07:27If they can fix themselves, perhaps they can fix the canine crisis at home.
0:07:27 > 0:07:29- Hi, are you all right? - Hi, I'm all right.
0:07:29 > 0:07:32- Hi, I'm Ronnie, nice to meet you. - Nice to meet you.
0:07:32 > 0:07:34The Brits don't know it but they're off to work
0:07:34 > 0:07:36in one of the most competitive places on Earth.
0:07:38 > 0:07:40Hollywood.
0:07:42 > 0:07:45Meet Joe Timko and Randy Neece, owners of the most exclusive
0:07:45 > 0:07:49training and boarding facility in LA.
0:07:49 > 0:07:51It may look like a high-end spa retreat,
0:07:51 > 0:07:54but this place is just for dogs,
0:07:54 > 0:07:56and not just anyone's dogs!
0:07:56 > 0:08:00We have people like Harrison Ford, Sylvester Stallone...
0:08:00 > 0:08:02J Lo, Pierce Brosnan.
0:08:02 > 0:08:03..Christina Aguilera.
0:08:03 > 0:08:04You know, the list goes on
0:08:04 > 0:08:07but regardless of whether they're famous or not,
0:08:07 > 0:08:10we really have the same exacting standards for every single dog.
0:08:10 > 0:08:14Randy and Joe have worked with dogs for over 12 years.
0:08:14 > 0:08:17Joe can knock even the naughtiest pup into shape.
0:08:17 > 0:08:20Down, stay. Heel!
0:08:20 > 0:08:24Here at Canyon View Ranch, we have one of the best training programmes in the world.
0:08:24 > 0:08:27With celebrities clambering to get their pooches trained
0:08:27 > 0:08:31at this Disneyland for dogs, Randy and Joe must run a very tight ship.
0:08:31 > 0:08:33It's a lot of work around here and it's relentless.
0:08:33 > 0:08:37It starts very early in the morning and goes very late at night.
0:08:37 > 0:08:39While Joe is the dog trainer...
0:08:39 > 0:08:40Bella, heel. Come.
0:08:40 > 0:08:42..Randy is the task master.
0:08:42 > 0:08:46First of all I want to get the pool cleaned up a little bit...
0:08:46 > 0:08:49Joe tells me that a lot of the staff are sort of afraid of me.
0:08:49 > 0:08:52I don't generally ask people to do stuff, I tell them to do it
0:08:52 > 0:08:54and I expect them to do it.
0:08:54 > 0:08:55They've gotta get water, also.
0:08:55 > 0:08:58Randy and Joe can teach the A-list to train a dog,
0:08:58 > 0:09:02but will the Brits be more Z-list when it comes to Hollywood high expectations?
0:09:02 > 0:09:06I'm going to need all the focus I can possibly get from the Brits.
0:09:06 > 0:09:09We're dealing with famous people's animals and we want to make sure
0:09:09 > 0:09:13that our reputation is intact when they leave here.
0:09:13 > 0:09:16The Brits have arrived on the west coast of America,
0:09:16 > 0:09:18in sunny California.
0:09:19 > 0:09:21But they don't know where they're heading yet.
0:09:21 > 0:09:24I'm really scared now. All of a sudden, it's hit me.
0:09:24 > 0:09:26I'm like, "Oh, my God, what am I doing?!"
0:09:26 > 0:09:28What are you hoping for?
0:09:28 > 0:09:30I want a Chihuahua to train or something.
0:09:30 > 0:09:33They're off to the ranch where only the rich and famous
0:09:33 > 0:09:38bring their precious pooches, tucked away in the Santa Monica hills.
0:09:38 > 0:09:40We're going in.
0:09:40 > 0:09:42Oh, my God.
0:09:42 > 0:09:43There's dogs.
0:09:43 > 0:09:46Oh, my god. They're fake, they're fake dogs!
0:09:47 > 0:09:49I'm scared!
0:09:51 > 0:09:53There they are. How you doing?
0:09:53 > 0:09:56OK, I'm really nervous.
0:09:56 > 0:09:58Nervous already, you just got here!
0:09:58 > 0:10:00How you doing? Hi, nice to meet you.
0:10:00 > 0:10:01- I'm Joe Timko.- I'm Ronnie.
0:10:01 > 0:10:06Randy quickly gets niceties out of the way and lays down the law.
0:10:06 > 0:10:09OK, guys, one of the things you have to understand here is that
0:10:09 > 0:10:11because of our location so close to Hollywood and Malibu,
0:10:11 > 0:10:15we've got a lot of high-end people, a lot of famous people
0:10:15 > 0:10:18bring their dogs here so we have a huge responsibility
0:10:18 > 0:10:21in watching and making sure that dog has a great time here
0:10:21 > 0:10:27and goes home happy and healthy and raring to come back again sometime.
0:10:27 > 0:10:28Do we get to meet the celebrities?
0:10:28 > 0:10:31Well, if they happen to show up, you will, but one of the things
0:10:31 > 0:10:34we ask our staff to do is not to make a big deal about it, OK?
0:10:34 > 0:10:37The Brits will be training all week in Hollywood
0:10:37 > 0:10:41and working behind the scenes at the ranch, but that's not all.
0:10:41 > 0:10:43This is not just about poop scooping stuff.
0:10:43 > 0:10:45At the end of the week we're shooting a commercial,
0:10:45 > 0:10:49and we need you guys to work with the dogs
0:10:49 > 0:10:51throughout the week cos we'll need you to get them
0:10:51 > 0:10:53to do certain things on camera, on cue.
0:10:53 > 0:10:55So, you guys getting ready to start?
0:10:55 > 0:10:58- Yep.- All right, let me give you your hats. Here's a hat.
0:10:58 > 0:11:02The Brits have only one week to become expert dog handlers,
0:11:02 > 0:11:04but they're more concerned with meeting celebrities.
0:11:04 > 0:11:08If there's a famous dog we could put a note on the collar
0:11:08 > 0:11:11so when it goes home the owner reads it.
0:11:11 > 0:11:15And it doesn't take them long to spot a celebrity's dog.
0:11:15 > 0:11:18Mia - Dave Grohl from the Foo Fighters' miniature Pinscher.
0:11:18 > 0:11:19That's a famous dog.
0:11:19 > 0:11:23A little starstruck, the Brits think this week's going to be easy.
0:11:23 > 0:11:26See, they said it's going to be hard work but I don't find dogs...
0:11:26 > 0:11:28Apart from my dog obviously,
0:11:28 > 0:11:30these dogs seem trained so I don't think they'll be hard work.
0:11:30 > 0:11:32It'll be a walk in the park compared to Bella.
0:11:32 > 0:11:36But Randy and Joe are putting them straight to work in separate yards
0:11:36 > 0:11:38to see how they handle dogs.
0:11:38 > 0:11:41I don't think these Brits have any idea what they're in for here.
0:11:41 > 0:11:42This is a lot of work.
0:11:42 > 0:11:45I think they're in for a very, very tough week.
0:11:45 > 0:11:48Ronnie's in Wonderland with the big dogs under the watchful eye of Joe.
0:11:48 > 0:11:52They are big and I think you have a pug?
0:11:52 > 0:11:53Yeah, she's quite small.
0:11:53 > 0:11:56So the dogs you'll be dealing with are going to be nice big guys.
0:11:56 > 0:11:59They want to see the basics, how the Brits act around dogs
0:11:59 > 0:12:00and if they can look after them.
0:12:00 > 0:12:03I am pretty scared right now, I didn't want to work with big dogs.
0:12:03 > 0:12:06I was snapped at a few times by bigger dogs when I was younger
0:12:06 > 0:12:09and I need to pretend that I'm really, really brave,
0:12:09 > 0:12:11even though I'm not, I'm shaking like mad.
0:12:11 > 0:12:14But...I've got to go for it and got to do it I suppose.
0:12:14 > 0:12:17BARKING
0:12:17 > 0:12:19Yikes!
0:12:19 > 0:12:21The Brits have their hands full with one dog at home.
0:12:21 > 0:12:23Here they have dozens to contend with.
0:12:25 > 0:12:28Over in Munchkinland, Holly's with the little dogs
0:12:28 > 0:12:30being watched over by Randy.
0:12:30 > 0:12:31Get away.
0:12:31 > 0:12:34OK, don't be afraid to like walk around with them, have fun.
0:12:34 > 0:12:36Yeah, come on, guys! Come on, guys.
0:12:36 > 0:12:39She should be in her element with the small dogs.
0:12:39 > 0:12:41Ah, that dog keeps biting me!
0:12:41 > 0:12:42No... Cona!
0:12:42 > 0:12:46Just like at home, the dogs have sensed a soft touch
0:12:46 > 0:12:50and before long, Holly has them walking all over her... Literally.
0:12:50 > 0:12:51Randy!
0:12:51 > 0:12:53- OK, just pull her off, don't let... - Every time I...
0:12:53 > 0:12:56Holly, that is a good example of a top dog.
0:12:56 > 0:12:59- That dog is trying to be dominant with you.- It's pulling my...
0:12:59 > 0:13:02Take him off your shoulders right now. Pull him off.
0:13:02 > 0:13:05Good, OK, put him down on the ground.
0:13:05 > 0:13:08You got some humping going on, tell her stop it right now.
0:13:08 > 0:13:10Say, "Leave it."
0:13:10 > 0:13:11No!
0:13:11 > 0:13:15In the big yard, Ronnie is trying to keep things running smoothly
0:13:15 > 0:13:16despite his fears.
0:13:17 > 0:13:20They're all over the place, they're jumping, they're biting my hand
0:13:20 > 0:13:22and I don't know what to do.
0:13:22 > 0:13:24I'm still pretty nervous but I'm trying to do what Joe said
0:13:24 > 0:13:27and be strong and show that I'm not afraid of them.
0:13:27 > 0:13:30Ronnie, if you see any dog just off by themselves
0:13:30 > 0:13:34and not having a good time, go over to them and pet them
0:13:34 > 0:13:36and, you know, try getting them into the mix.
0:13:36 > 0:13:37Right.
0:13:37 > 0:13:40Ronnie has to break up dog fights, stop humping and barking
0:13:40 > 0:13:44and entertain the dogs while keeping the place looking immaculate.
0:13:44 > 0:13:46I don't know where to turn cos there's poop everywhere
0:13:46 > 0:13:48and he's telling us there's humping everywhere.
0:13:48 > 0:13:50- You got another one here.- Coming.
0:13:50 > 0:13:53Because the bottom line is, even celebrities' dogs poo,
0:13:53 > 0:13:56and there's a lot of it to clear up.
0:13:56 > 0:13:57Hey!
0:14:02 > 0:14:06He's doing OK, but OK isn't good enough at this point.
0:14:06 > 0:14:09He's intimidated, he's very intimidated by them.
0:14:09 > 0:14:12I think we're just going to have to work on his confidence
0:14:12 > 0:14:13and work on it quite a bit.
0:14:13 > 0:14:17Hey, stop!
0:14:17 > 0:14:19Not easy, not getting on too well. There's a lot of dogs
0:14:19 > 0:14:22and a lot to watch. So it's really hard.
0:14:22 > 0:14:25Hard work, harder than I thought it was going to be.
0:14:25 > 0:14:27Ronnie, let's come on over here and sit down.
0:14:27 > 0:14:28I just want to talk to you a bit.
0:14:28 > 0:14:29Yeah.
0:14:29 > 0:14:32Joe's spotted that Ronnie's nerves are getting the better of him.
0:14:32 > 0:14:36Tell me, honestly, what's going on inside, what are you feeling inside?
0:14:38 > 0:14:39Scared inside.
0:14:39 > 0:14:42When they're barking and they're, they're humping
0:14:42 > 0:14:44and they're going at each other, I just don't want to go near them
0:14:44 > 0:14:46and I'm trying to go to them and tell them to stop
0:14:46 > 0:14:50but I'm petrified of it, when they're doing that.
0:14:50 > 0:14:53OK, because one of the things, and it's got to be a mindset,
0:14:53 > 0:14:58and it'll take some learning on your part, but there is no room
0:14:58 > 0:15:01for any type of nervousness
0:15:01 > 0:15:04or feeling of being scared
0:15:04 > 0:15:06because until then they're not, they're not going to respect you
0:15:06 > 0:15:08and you're going to have
0:15:08 > 0:15:10the same type of behaviour going on that you don't like.
0:15:10 > 0:15:14You gotta pick up the pace because the longer you take
0:15:14 > 0:15:17getting that poop scoop, the longer these dogs
0:15:17 > 0:15:19aren't getting watched in the yard.
0:15:19 > 0:15:22Back in Munchkinland, Holly's grinding almost to a halt.
0:15:22 > 0:15:26Oh, my gosh, she is going so slowly.
0:15:26 > 0:15:28That's right, good, quickly!
0:15:28 > 0:15:33Quickly, scoop it in and then get it away from them.
0:15:33 > 0:15:35It's disgusting, this is vile.
0:15:35 > 0:15:40It stinks, it's unhygienic and there's flies everywhere.
0:15:41 > 0:15:44Now let me see how fast you can actually walk.
0:15:44 > 0:15:48That's the pace we go at here, we never ever just walk around here.
0:15:48 > 0:15:51Too many things can happen in that time it takes you.
0:15:51 > 0:15:55'One of the things that we'll have to work on is her speed.'
0:15:55 > 0:15:57She's way too slow, she'll have to really pick up the pace
0:15:57 > 0:16:00and she's got a lot to learn.
0:16:00 > 0:16:02- No!- Very quickly.
0:16:02 > 0:16:06The first task is complete and not a great start for the Brits.
0:16:06 > 0:16:08- It is hard to keep your eyes on all the dogs.- Yeah.
0:16:08 > 0:16:11But the thing that we're going to have the biggest challenge with,
0:16:11 > 0:16:16besides confidence, is I want you to think about walking twice as fast...
0:16:16 > 0:16:18Yeah.
0:16:18 > 0:16:22..as you've ever walked before, not running but walk twice as fast.
0:16:22 > 0:16:23Yeah.
0:16:23 > 0:16:25- And we'll take it from there.- OK.
0:16:25 > 0:16:28Any other things, any thoughts?
0:16:28 > 0:16:30- No.- OK.
0:16:30 > 0:16:31Not at the moment.
0:16:31 > 0:16:33Thanks.
0:16:33 > 0:16:34I feel like I've just been to the gym,
0:16:34 > 0:16:36I feel like I've done a workout,
0:16:36 > 0:16:41I mean, I didn't realise it would be this hard, and Randy's kind of mean.
0:16:41 > 0:16:44The Brits are starting to realise Hollywood isn't all glamour,
0:16:44 > 0:16:47and home for the week's not exactly five star either.
0:16:47 > 0:16:49I've got to laugh or I'll cry so I've got to laugh.
0:16:49 > 0:16:51I almost cried when I saw it.
0:16:51 > 0:16:53No, this just isn't going to work.
0:17:01 > 0:17:04I'm actually really shocked.
0:17:04 > 0:17:08I can't believe I'm in LA
0:17:08 > 0:17:09in a caravan.
0:17:09 > 0:17:11In the middle of the hills.
0:17:11 > 0:17:13Yeah.
0:17:13 > 0:17:15Work for the Brits isn't over.
0:17:15 > 0:17:18Come on, you... Good girl. Come on.
0:17:18 > 0:17:21They have to start putting the dogs into their beds for the night.
0:17:21 > 0:17:22Come on, in, in.
0:17:22 > 0:17:26The day's not gone well but at least Holly's given Randy and Joe
0:17:26 > 0:17:27something to laugh about.
0:17:27 > 0:17:29She's in the yard and there's this little dog
0:17:29 > 0:17:31and it was very shy, it wasn't really engaging
0:17:31 > 0:17:35with the other dogs and I said "Go over and just pick this dog up."
0:17:35 > 0:17:38So she did, the dog climbed right up and sat on her head.
0:17:38 > 0:17:41THEY LAUGH
0:17:41 > 0:17:43- What did she do? - She let it sit on her head!
0:17:45 > 0:17:47Her confidence level is way, way low,
0:17:47 > 0:17:51and I think the dogs will sense that and they're just going to roll
0:17:51 > 0:17:55right over her if she doesn't you know get a little more oomph to her.
0:17:55 > 0:17:58So what do you think about Ronnie? Please tell me "great".
0:17:58 > 0:18:00He's intimated by large dogs
0:18:00 > 0:18:04and just when they were running in the yard and running at him,
0:18:04 > 0:18:07he was like, "Oh, my gosh," you can just see it right then
0:18:07 > 0:18:11and dogs picked up on that from the moment they came in.
0:18:11 > 0:18:14He has to learn that he can be in control and not be fearful
0:18:14 > 0:18:17- and if he can do that everything else will fall together.- Yeah.
0:18:17 > 0:18:20But until then, nothing will work.
0:18:21 > 0:18:23Out in the yard, there's a problem.
0:18:27 > 0:18:29Ronnie's found himself alone with the big dogs.
0:18:29 > 0:18:31Out the way.
0:18:31 > 0:18:33Unable to control his fear, he flees the yard
0:18:33 > 0:18:37leaving the dogs unattended which can be dangerous.
0:18:38 > 0:18:40I got a bit scared, turned round for some support
0:18:40 > 0:18:42and I was by myself so I've got a bit freaked out
0:18:42 > 0:18:44- and ran back in the building. - You came to the building?
0:18:44 > 0:18:47It knocked my confidence within about 10 minutes of being out there.
0:18:47 > 0:18:50Yeah. So you just ran back down in and left them out there fighting?
0:18:50 > 0:18:51Yeah.
0:18:55 > 0:18:56Hey, no, no.
0:18:56 > 0:18:59Worried about Ronnie's fear of big dogs,
0:18:59 > 0:19:02Randy and Joe are meeting him at their house to dig a bit deeper.
0:19:04 > 0:19:07Just a short time here has opened Ronnie's eyes.
0:19:07 > 0:19:12It's sort of unearthed the fact that maybe it's not the big dogs
0:19:12 > 0:19:15I'm scared of and it's maybe the fact that I can't...
0:19:15 > 0:19:18I haven't got the discipline to control the dogs
0:19:18 > 0:19:21because if I can't control a small dog
0:19:21 > 0:19:25how am I ever going to survive with sort of 30 big dogs?
0:19:25 > 0:19:30We have plenty of dogs the size of Bella and plenty of dogs like Bella,
0:19:30 > 0:19:35but our feeling is if we can get you used to working with a large dog,
0:19:35 > 0:19:38that's going to do two things. One, it's going to help you, hopefully,
0:19:38 > 0:19:43get over whatever this sort of fear or hesitation
0:19:43 > 0:19:47or, you know, lack of confidence or however you want to call it,
0:19:47 > 0:19:48with large dogs.
0:19:48 > 0:19:51But it's also, if you can handle a larger dog,
0:19:51 > 0:19:54hopefully that'll translate into handling a smaller dog too.
0:19:54 > 0:19:58Randy and Joe want to find out more about the problems at home.
0:20:03 > 0:20:07The biggest problem is Bella's constant attention seeking.
0:20:07 > 0:20:08Oh. Bella, no!
0:20:08 > 0:20:12What strikes Joe the most is Ronnie gives into it every time.
0:20:13 > 0:20:16It's amazing how dogs can make the owner do something as simple as,
0:20:16 > 0:20:18"Hey, hold me."
0:20:18 > 0:20:21They can lunge at the TV and if every time she lunges at the TV,
0:20:21 > 0:20:25you take her and coddle her, she's learning to lunge at that TV
0:20:25 > 0:20:28- even more because she's getting exactly what she wants.- Mm-hm.
0:20:28 > 0:20:31Randy and Joe can see an even bigger problem.
0:20:31 > 0:20:34Ronnie treats Bella like the child he really wants.
0:20:34 > 0:20:36'We were missing something in the relationship.
0:20:36 > 0:20:39'We want it to go to the next level but we weren't ready for kids.
0:20:39 > 0:20:41'That's where Bella came into the picture.'
0:20:41 > 0:20:46I want children and I don't want to wait too much longer
0:20:46 > 0:20:48to have children. I want to be quite a young parent.
0:20:48 > 0:20:52I don't want to wait too long, and I know Hayley doesn't either,
0:20:52 > 0:20:55but with Bella the way she is...
0:20:55 > 0:20:57I couldn't bring kids into the world.
0:20:57 > 0:21:01I mean, I think it goes back maybe a little bit deeper than that.
0:21:01 > 0:21:07I mean, my upbringing was... sort of rocky to start with.
0:21:07 > 0:21:12I mean, I haven't really had a relationship with my mum for...
0:21:12 > 0:21:14since the age of 12, and maybe that's hard
0:21:14 > 0:21:18because I want the perfect family
0:21:18 > 0:21:21and I didn't really have it growing up which was upsetting.
0:21:21 > 0:21:24I think that's maybe part of the problem with Bella is
0:21:24 > 0:21:28because of the way that my mam was with me.
0:21:28 > 0:21:32Right, well knowing now a little bit of this back story
0:21:32 > 0:21:35and particularly the relationship stress,
0:21:35 > 0:21:38for us, I think it's even more important that we send you back home
0:21:38 > 0:21:43really having learned a lot here and going home and not only
0:21:43 > 0:21:48transforming Bella and you and your relationship but the relationship
0:21:48 > 0:21:51you have with Hayley and the relationship Hayley has with Bella.
0:21:51 > 0:21:54- Mm-hm.- We'll make this work, OK? - Yeah, good going.
0:21:56 > 0:21:58Tonight's been tough for Ronnie.
0:22:03 > 0:22:07Top of the morning to ya. What's up?
0:22:07 > 0:22:09- Are you upset? - I'm all right.
0:22:11 > 0:22:13I cooked dinner.
0:22:13 > 0:22:14Thanks.
0:22:14 > 0:22:16Are you annoyed?
0:22:16 > 0:22:17No, I'm just a bit...
0:22:19 > 0:22:21Don't be sad.
0:22:24 > 0:22:26Did you watch a video?
0:22:26 > 0:22:28Was it really sad?
0:22:28 > 0:22:31No, they just talked lots of stuff that makes us sad, that's all.
0:22:34 > 0:22:36Are you hungry?
0:22:36 > 0:22:39No. I'll eat a little bit of this, in a bit.
0:22:47 > 0:22:51It's 6am. Things start early at Canyon View Ranch.
0:22:51 > 0:22:55Why don't you guys come over here and let's get these big guys out?
0:22:55 > 0:22:58Before their first training session, Ronnie and Holly
0:22:58 > 0:23:00are put to work doing the morning chores.
0:23:00 > 0:23:04Oh, my God! There is poop everywhere!
0:23:04 > 0:23:07It stinks in here, like stinks.
0:23:07 > 0:23:09But a night's rest has given Ronnie time to reflect.
0:23:09 > 0:23:11Come on, let's go, guys!
0:23:11 > 0:23:14I think maybe the DVD got us a little bit upset
0:23:14 > 0:23:16cos when you're being spoken to by Joe and Randy
0:23:16 > 0:23:20and then memories surface, you start to realise that the bad things
0:23:20 > 0:23:23in your mind do affect the way that your dog behaves
0:23:23 > 0:23:26and it affects my life and the way I'm treating the dog
0:23:26 > 0:23:28which makes the dog the way she is really.
0:23:29 > 0:23:32Today Joe's giving the Brits their first chance to train.
0:23:32 > 0:23:36See, now, these dogs are a bit on the strong side. Ah, ah!
0:23:39 > 0:23:41Look at you, come here, baby! Come here.
0:23:41 > 0:23:45All right, so I'm just going to tell the dog to sit.
0:23:45 > 0:23:50Joe's unique technique involves gently tucking the dog into a sit.
0:23:50 > 0:23:52Sit. Then you pet him.
0:23:52 > 0:23:54Hans, come on Hans.
0:23:54 > 0:23:55Volto.
0:23:55 > 0:23:56Now it's the Brits' turn.
0:23:56 > 0:23:58- Volto, Volto!- Come on, Hans.
0:23:58 > 0:23:59Sit.
0:24:01 > 0:24:03Why d'you do that?
0:24:03 > 0:24:06It's probably cos you pushed him down and hurt him.
0:24:06 > 0:24:08Think of tucking the dog in.
0:24:08 > 0:24:11I don't like this dog any more.
0:24:11 > 0:24:15Randy and Joe decide it's time for the Brits' first taste of film work.
0:24:20 > 0:24:23They're taking Ronnie and Holly to top Hollywood training facility,
0:24:23 > 0:24:25Gentle Jungle.
0:24:25 > 0:24:30Gentle Jungle has provided animals for films including Gladiator
0:24:30 > 0:24:33and The Chronicles Of Narnia, and it's not just dogs they work with.
0:24:33 > 0:24:34How do you train a camel?
0:24:34 > 0:24:39They're meeting Eadie Chassie who's worked in the movie industry
0:24:39 > 0:24:40for over 15 years...
0:24:40 > 0:24:42Cover, hold it.
0:24:42 > 0:24:46..and Dart who starred in the blockbuster hit Cowboys & Aliens.
0:24:46 > 0:24:49Good shake, all right!
0:24:49 > 0:24:52Eadie is one of the best in the business
0:24:52 > 0:24:55and the Brits are here to pick up some tips.
0:24:55 > 0:24:59Eadie is one of the top Hollywood dog trainers for TV and film
0:24:59 > 0:25:02and she'll show you a few things that, you know, things that
0:25:02 > 0:25:05you may apply and see where all this is ending up, so watch and learn.
0:25:05 > 0:25:08- OK.- OK? Good, have fun. See you later, guys.
0:25:08 > 0:25:12Eadie starts by showing the Brits what correct training can do.
0:25:12 > 0:25:14Dart, on your feet, stay, back up.
0:25:14 > 0:25:17- Good, speak, speak. - DOG BARKS
0:25:17 > 0:25:19Good, stay. Dart, sit.
0:25:19 > 0:25:22OK, now on your feet, back up, back, back, back, stay, sit.
0:25:22 > 0:25:24Speak. DOG BARKS
0:25:24 > 0:25:28So what I can do, I can do without saying anything.
0:25:29 > 0:25:33Good, speak, speak. So he knows it both ways.
0:25:33 > 0:25:35- That's really cool.- That's amazing.
0:25:35 > 0:25:36- That is cool.- Pretty sharp.
0:25:36 > 0:25:38- Yeah.- Yeah.
0:25:38 > 0:25:41It's like...he can speak English cos you're saying speak
0:25:41 > 0:25:42and he does it straight away.
0:25:42 > 0:25:45Eadie lets them into one of the tricks of the trade -
0:25:45 > 0:25:47reward based training.
0:25:47 > 0:25:49He works for anybody cos he just wants this,
0:25:49 > 0:25:51he's not doing it for you he wants this.
0:25:51 > 0:25:54- Mm-hm.- So when it's all about this anybody almost can do it.
0:25:54 > 0:25:57It's just you got to make sure he's paying attention to you.
0:25:57 > 0:25:59- Want to try? - Yeah, I'll give it a go.
0:25:59 > 0:26:00Good, make sure...
0:26:00 > 0:26:03Ronnie is meant to communicate to Dart to go to another mark
0:26:03 > 0:26:04and bark on command.
0:26:04 > 0:26:06Stop. On your mark.
0:26:06 > 0:26:09No, back, on your mark.
0:26:09 > 0:26:13No, stop. Back up, back up, stop.
0:26:13 > 0:26:16On your mark. He won't go on his mark.
0:26:16 > 0:26:18- Go, go, go.- On your mark.
0:26:18 > 0:26:21I mean, just say the words. Do you use the word "go" first?
0:26:21 > 0:26:24- Just because it might help him take... "Go mark".- OK.
0:26:24 > 0:26:26Go mark, go mark.
0:26:26 > 0:26:30At home with Bella, Ronnie has exactly the same problem.
0:26:30 > 0:26:33Sit, sit down, come on.
0:26:33 > 0:26:35She doesn't listen to me, she doesn't listen to anybody really.
0:26:35 > 0:26:38She'll do something when she wants to do it,
0:26:38 > 0:26:39not when you want her to do it.
0:26:39 > 0:26:43But the fact is his dog doesn't speak English, or Geordie.
0:26:43 > 0:26:45Stay, good.
0:26:45 > 0:26:47What I'm going to have you do, and this is tricky,
0:26:47 > 0:26:49I'm just going to have... Come with me, just...
0:26:49 > 0:26:51Eadie explains that to get a dog to do what you want,
0:26:51 > 0:26:55it needs to understand exactly what your command means.
0:26:55 > 0:26:57- Then that's a reminder of his mark. - Right.
0:26:57 > 0:27:00- So now that you've shown that to him it might help him...- OK.
0:27:00 > 0:27:04- ..actually go over to that mark. - Dart, on your mark.
0:27:04 > 0:27:05Good, stay.
0:27:05 > 0:27:09They've clicked and Dart's responding to Ronnie perfectly.
0:27:09 > 0:27:10Good boy. Speak.
0:27:10 > 0:27:12DOG BARKS
0:27:12 > 0:27:15- Tell him to stay. - Speak. Stay. Good boy.
0:27:15 > 0:27:18Wow, absolutely amazing, I didn't think he would listen to us.
0:27:18 > 0:27:20Obviously, you've trained him for hours and hours,
0:27:20 > 0:27:23but I didn't think he'd listen to me. No dog seems to listen to me at all.
0:27:23 > 0:27:25You want to give it a try?
0:27:25 > 0:27:26OK.
0:27:26 > 0:27:29Keeping in mind he really wants that toy,
0:27:29 > 0:27:31so the hardest thing really is to keep him away from you.
0:27:31 > 0:27:34Cool. I'm nervous.
0:27:34 > 0:27:37Just like Ronnie, Holly shows Dart what mark she wants him to go to.
0:27:37 > 0:27:38Shall I tap it?
0:27:38 > 0:27:41Yep, go ahead, now tell him to get on his mark and tell him to stay.
0:27:41 > 0:27:44Go to your mark. Go to your mark.
0:27:44 > 0:27:47Go to your mark.
0:27:47 > 0:27:49Go to your mark! I'm really rubbish.
0:27:49 > 0:27:51Sit. How do you tell him to sit?
0:27:51 > 0:27:52Just like you did.
0:27:52 > 0:27:54Sit.
0:27:55 > 0:27:57Go to your mark, go to your mark.
0:27:57 > 0:27:58I'm rubbish.
0:27:58 > 0:28:00That's OK.
0:28:00 > 0:28:03Dart knows his mark so there's clearly another problem.
0:28:03 > 0:28:04Look here, hey!
0:28:04 > 0:28:07He wants this, good. Get on your mark. Good, stay. Go ahead, speak...
0:28:07 > 0:28:11Eadie demonstrates that your voice needs to be confident to get
0:28:11 > 0:28:12a dog to respond.
0:28:12 > 0:28:14- It's tough when you don't know the dog...- Yeah.
0:28:14 > 0:28:17..but even if I don't know the dog I still kind of...
0:28:17 > 0:28:19If you're sure what you're asking him to do,
0:28:19 > 0:28:20they'll figure out what you want.
0:28:20 > 0:28:22Tell him to get back on his mark.
0:28:22 > 0:28:25Back on your mark, go to your mark.
0:28:25 > 0:28:27Go to your mark. No.
0:28:27 > 0:28:29But there's uncertainty in Holly's voice
0:28:29 > 0:28:31and her tendency to give up isn't helping.
0:28:31 > 0:28:33- He's wandering, tell him "no". - No.
0:28:33 > 0:28:36No, go to your mark.
0:28:36 > 0:28:39Holly keeps failing so Eadie calls a time-out.
0:28:39 > 0:28:41Dart.
0:28:41 > 0:28:43This dog usually works for anyone.
0:28:43 > 0:28:45Out, good, mark.
0:28:45 > 0:28:48This is just bullshit now, I'm actually really pissed off.
0:28:48 > 0:28:51Don't get upset about it.
0:28:51 > 0:28:53It can't be helped. That's why we're here, to get help,
0:28:53 > 0:28:55so you shouldn't let it upset you.
0:28:57 > 0:28:58Come on, you're all right.
0:29:00 > 0:29:04He probably just doesn't understand your accent as well,
0:29:04 > 0:29:06- I think that's a big... - You're from Newcastle.
0:29:06 > 0:29:09Yeah, but mine's a lot... I don't know, I don't know,
0:29:09 > 0:29:13but I just think it was hard to understand your accent sometimes.
0:29:23 > 0:29:25Minutes later Holly gives up.
0:29:27 > 0:29:30She's starting to question everything.
0:29:33 > 0:29:37I just feel crap because I can't do anything we're supposed to be doing.
0:29:42 > 0:29:44And I feel really stupid crying over it.
0:29:44 > 0:29:46This is dog training, but...
0:29:46 > 0:29:49And I haven't...
0:29:49 > 0:29:51I can't do any of it.
0:29:51 > 0:29:54I'm just...I don't know, Maybe I just don't get dogs,
0:29:54 > 0:29:56maybe I shouldn't have one.
0:29:58 > 0:29:59I don't know.
0:30:01 > 0:30:04Holly's shown a lack of staying power,
0:30:04 > 0:30:08but it's making her realise her problems are down to her,
0:30:08 > 0:30:09and not her dog.
0:30:09 > 0:30:13At the ranch, Randy and Joe want to find out
0:30:13 > 0:30:15how much this is a problem back home.
0:30:15 > 0:30:17So, shall we watch some of this and get an idea
0:30:17 > 0:30:20what's going on, then talk through it a little bit? OK.
0:30:20 > 0:30:23- ALFIE BARKS - 'Alfie, come here!'
0:30:23 > 0:30:26'I think he can't hear me. Maybe he's deaf.'
0:30:26 > 0:30:28He poos in the house,
0:30:28 > 0:30:29'as well as weeing everywhere.'
0:30:29 > 0:30:31It doesn't take them long to see that Alfie's spoilt
0:30:31 > 0:30:34and Holly has no command over him.
0:30:34 > 0:30:35This way! Alfie!
0:30:35 > 0:30:39Do you see some of the things you're doing
0:30:39 > 0:30:42that might be encouraging him to act that way?
0:30:42 > 0:30:46Watching that back, that seemed ridiculous. It's like a joke.
0:30:46 > 0:30:50I can't believe that's what I look like around him.
0:30:50 > 0:30:52It looks like a comedy sketch, quite frankly.
0:30:52 > 0:30:56My feeling is, all of this comes together as a neat little package.
0:30:56 > 0:30:59It's not just a matter of working on the come when called,
0:30:59 > 0:31:01or working on the pottying,
0:31:01 > 0:31:04or working on jumping up on the table.
0:31:04 > 0:31:06It's the whole relationship you have with this dog
0:31:06 > 0:31:08and changing that dynamic
0:31:08 > 0:31:13and, and, and getting Alfie to start respecting you as the leader.
0:31:13 > 0:31:15But there's an even bigger problem.
0:31:15 > 0:31:19'I said, you are joking. You get that dog, you do not live with us.
0:31:19 > 0:31:22'We do not want another dog in the house.
0:31:22 > 0:31:26'And it's created a rift and it's carried on being bad.
0:31:26 > 0:31:30'I mean, he...there's tension, always, because of Alfie.'
0:31:31 > 0:31:34I wanted to ask you before, do you feel like you're spoiled,
0:31:34 > 0:31:36or do you think you've been spoiled in life?
0:31:38 > 0:31:42I probably have been spoilt. I've got everything I wanted.
0:31:42 > 0:31:45That may tie into your lack of sticking to it
0:31:45 > 0:31:47and giving up a little too quickly.
0:31:48 > 0:31:51There's a major problem going on in the household
0:31:51 > 0:31:53that the dog is causing.
0:31:53 > 0:31:55Yeah, I mean, it's not fair,
0:31:55 > 0:31:57it's not fair on anybody, it's not fair on me and Alfie.
0:31:57 > 0:32:00It's not fair on my mum and her husband, it's...
0:32:00 > 0:32:03But it does, it just creates major issues,
0:32:03 > 0:32:06and I just, I need to sort it, I need to...
0:32:08 > 0:32:12..I don't want to create that for them.
0:32:12 > 0:32:16Holly's realising that giving up doesn't work.
0:32:16 > 0:32:18I guess what Randy was saying is true,
0:32:18 > 0:32:21that's what I've been like and I don't want to be.
0:32:21 > 0:32:24That's why Alfie is the way he is, because I've probably...
0:32:25 > 0:32:28..I haven't kept up, you know,
0:32:28 > 0:32:33there's no...I haven't kept up, like, hard work trying to train him.
0:32:33 > 0:32:36I've just been...I let things go and I'm like,
0:32:36 > 0:32:39"Oh, too hard. I won't train him."
0:32:49 > 0:32:50Randy and Joe know
0:32:50 > 0:32:53that if Holly is ever going to turn things around at home,
0:32:53 > 0:32:55they have to work on her determination.
0:32:55 > 0:32:57They've come to Universal Studios,
0:32:57 > 0:33:00where movies such as The Bourne Identity have been made,
0:33:00 > 0:33:05and home to one of the first movie theme parks in America.
0:33:06 > 0:33:11Welcome to Universal's Animal Actors. How's everybody doing?
0:33:11 > 0:33:16This is a hugely popular live show seen by over 5,000 people every day.
0:33:16 > 0:33:19And there's no room for mistakes in front of a live audience.
0:33:19 > 0:33:23Randy and Joe have a surprise in store for Holly
0:33:23 > 0:33:24and there's no wriggling out.
0:33:26 > 0:33:30Well, you know, your confidence has been really low
0:33:30 > 0:33:31on everything you've been doing,
0:33:31 > 0:33:34so we've made arrangements for you to meet the trainer...
0:33:34 > 0:33:38- Really?- ..of the dogs and you're going to be part of the show.
0:33:38 > 0:33:42In less than an hour, Holly has to take to the stage
0:33:42 > 0:33:44as one of the show's main dog handlers.
0:33:44 > 0:33:48Holly's working with celebrity dog Jack, star of Hotel For Dogs,
0:33:48 > 0:33:49and Beverley Hills Chihuahua.
0:33:49 > 0:33:51He's a really smart dog...
0:33:51 > 0:33:53Trainer John doesn't have much time to teach her the part.
0:33:53 > 0:33:56..and he knows what you're asking for, so don't feel like,
0:33:56 > 0:34:00- "Hey, Jack, please pick it up." It's more like, "Jack, pick it up!"- Yeah.
0:34:00 > 0:34:02And be excited, the more excited you are and the more lively you are
0:34:02 > 0:34:05and the better you feel about doing it, he's going to pick up on that.
0:34:05 > 0:34:09John explains Holly must have confidence in her voice.
0:34:09 > 0:34:12When you bring him over here, like, "Jack, come here! Good boy! Ready?
0:34:12 > 0:34:14"Good, get in there. Pick it up!
0:34:14 > 0:34:16"Good boy!" Just talk and talk and have fun with it.
0:34:16 > 0:34:19Now, if you want to give him a treat so his attention's on you.
0:34:19 > 0:34:22- Good boy.- Now take him with you, walk this way.
0:34:22 > 0:34:24- Let's go. Jack! - Bring him over, call his name.
0:34:24 > 0:34:26- Just be, like, "Jack, come on." - Come on, Jack. Let's go.
0:34:26 > 0:34:29- Good boy.- There you go.- Jack! - Bring him all the way over.- Jack!
0:34:29 > 0:34:31He really likes Charlotte, so...
0:34:31 > 0:34:35- Come on, Jack, let's go!- We'll have Charlotte get off the stage.- Jack!
0:34:35 > 0:34:37Holly's still a pushover.
0:34:37 > 0:34:39- Go ahead and call him. Wait till she gets off.- Jack! Jack!
0:34:39 > 0:34:42At home, her problems are exactly the same.
0:34:42 > 0:34:46With no authority in her voice, dogs just don't bother listening to her.
0:34:46 > 0:34:49Alfie. Alfie. Alfie.
0:34:49 > 0:34:50And she always gives up.
0:34:50 > 0:34:53He does his own thing and I let him do it.
0:34:53 > 0:34:57In 30 minutes, 1,500 people will fill the auditorium,
0:34:57 > 0:35:00Holly has to believe she can do this.
0:35:00 > 0:35:03- Shall I try and get him? - Just go, yeah, bring him back.
0:35:03 > 0:35:06- Jack! What's this?- Bring him all the way back.- Come on, let's go.
0:35:06 > 0:35:08Jack! Doesn't like me.
0:35:08 > 0:35:11Come on, let's go! Up here! Jack! Come on!
0:35:11 > 0:35:13- Good boy!- There you go. Now he's watching you.
0:35:13 > 0:35:16- Come on, then.- Bring him back over. - This way. Good boy, good boy.
0:35:16 > 0:35:20- There you go.- Good boy. Sit. - Keep his attention.- Sit. Good boy.
0:35:20 > 0:35:23His attention's on you now. Took a little bit there, that was fine.
0:35:23 > 0:35:25You brought him back. That's what you need to do.
0:35:25 > 0:35:29She sticks at it and there's a new tone in Holly's voice
0:35:29 > 0:35:30that engages the dog.
0:35:30 > 0:35:33Let's go, Jack. Come on. Jack! Jack! Good boy, good boy. Sit.
0:35:33 > 0:35:38You have to be someone or something that the animal wants to be with
0:35:38 > 0:35:41and if you don't have that, then they don't want to hang out with you,
0:35:41 > 0:35:43they want to find something more exciting.
0:35:43 > 0:35:46She's starting to understand that Jack wants to be with her
0:35:46 > 0:35:49if she's animated and fun and having a good time.
0:35:49 > 0:35:51At first I couldn't get into it cos I was nervous.
0:35:51 > 0:35:53I was thinking "He's not going to do it,"
0:35:53 > 0:35:55and as soon as he did it the first time,
0:35:55 > 0:35:58you kind of forget everything and you just get into it.
0:35:58 > 0:36:02So I still, literally, want to kill myself, I'm so scared,
0:36:02 > 0:36:04but it's fine. I'm more excited now.
0:36:05 > 0:36:06It's show time.
0:36:09 > 0:36:11Paying customers want to see a professional performance
0:36:11 > 0:36:15and Holly can't let anyone down, including Randy and Joe.
0:36:15 > 0:36:19Welcome to Universal's Animal Actors. How's everybody doing?
0:36:19 > 0:36:23As the show begins, John tries to ram home what Holly's learnt.
0:36:23 > 0:36:26Some of the important things to remember when you're on stage
0:36:26 > 0:36:27is just your body posture,
0:36:27 > 0:36:30that you're confident in what you're doing,
0:36:30 > 0:36:32you believe in what you're doing,
0:36:32 > 0:36:34and that you're able to portray it through your voice.
0:36:34 > 0:36:37Yeah. I want to be able to do it.
0:36:37 > 0:36:39I've got to leave those negative thoughts behind.
0:36:39 > 0:36:41To be honest, I can't back out now, anyway,
0:36:41 > 0:36:44so that's probably part of it, otherwise maybe I would have,
0:36:44 > 0:36:50but I don't know, I'm nervous, but I'm excited for the end outcome.
0:36:50 > 0:36:53Right, you ready? Ready? Off you go.
0:36:53 > 0:36:57Let's have a big cheer for Jack and Holly!
0:36:57 > 0:36:59APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:36:59 > 0:37:01With so much riding on this moment,
0:37:01 > 0:37:03Randy and Joe are hoping it goes well.
0:37:03 > 0:37:06Sit, sit, sit, Jack. Sit.
0:37:06 > 0:37:08Yeah. Come on, then. Come on, then. Good boy.
0:37:10 > 0:37:12..by jumping over our human hurdle,
0:37:12 > 0:37:14racing through the slalom, through the tunnel,
0:37:14 > 0:37:18jumping over our human hurdle and ringing the bell!
0:37:18 > 0:37:21- Team Jack is in position. Ready, Holly?- Stay.
0:37:21 > 0:37:24- Yeah.- Team Jack. On your marks, get set, go!
0:37:24 > 0:37:27Come on, Jack! Up, up, up!
0:37:27 > 0:37:31Here, here! Here, there, here, there, here.
0:37:31 > 0:37:33Go through the tunnel! Up!
0:37:34 > 0:37:36Good boy!
0:37:36 > 0:37:37Holly's cracked it.
0:37:37 > 0:37:39Good boy.
0:37:39 > 0:37:41It couldn't have gone better. She did really well.
0:37:41 > 0:37:44She did everything we talked about, and she had a good time,
0:37:44 > 0:37:46so that was great, and he did it the first time perfectly.
0:37:46 > 0:37:49I'm going to go back and meet her. I'll be right back.
0:37:49 > 0:37:51Let's have another big round of applause
0:37:51 > 0:37:52for our special guest trainer, Holly.
0:38:01 > 0:38:04- That went fantastic. - That was amazing.
0:38:04 > 0:38:07It couldn't have gone any smoother. Exactly like you had practised.
0:38:07 > 0:38:09I didn't look at the audience, I wasn't paying any attention.
0:38:09 > 0:38:12- I'm like, really shaking... - He watched you the whole time.
0:38:12 > 0:38:14He did everything you asked. You did a great job.
0:38:14 > 0:38:16Thank you.
0:38:16 > 0:38:20John's not the only one who's thrilled with Holly.
0:38:20 > 0:38:23- Well done!- Wow!
0:38:23 > 0:38:25Looking back at yesterday,
0:38:25 > 0:38:28I mean, even looking back at what? An hour ago?
0:38:28 > 0:38:31I felt sick, I couldn't even smile. He was like, "Are you ready?"
0:38:31 > 0:38:34And I was like, "Yeah." Thinking, "No, I'm not ready!
0:38:34 > 0:38:35"Why are you making me do this?"
0:38:35 > 0:38:38But now it's kind of, like, I feel so good for doing that.
0:38:40 > 0:38:43At the ranch, Joe's teaching Ronnie some tricks
0:38:43 > 0:38:45to help him get control of his own dog.
0:38:45 > 0:38:48Slam your hand down on it.
0:38:50 > 0:38:52Leave it.
0:38:53 > 0:38:55Leave it.
0:38:55 > 0:38:57Good leave it, take it.
0:38:57 > 0:38:59And Holly's making progress.
0:38:59 > 0:39:02No. Sit.
0:39:02 > 0:39:05These are the kind of days we, you know, really look forward to
0:39:05 > 0:39:09because it starts out so frustrating at the beginning of the week
0:39:09 > 0:39:12and you just want to say, you know, you just want to say,
0:39:12 > 0:39:15"Don't you understand what we're trying to tell ya?!"
0:39:15 > 0:39:19But, but man, when we see this kind of progress,
0:39:19 > 0:39:23I mean, it makes us feel like, you know, we're doing our job,
0:39:23 > 0:39:26we're doing it right and we're getting the results we're hoping for.
0:39:28 > 0:39:30Joe and Randy are sending the Brits on one final trip.
0:39:30 > 0:39:33It's the commercial shoot tomorrow
0:39:33 > 0:39:36and the Brits need all the advice they can get.
0:39:36 > 0:39:38They're off to the legendary Paramount Studios,
0:39:38 > 0:39:42birthplace of films such as Mission Impossible and Iron Man.
0:39:43 > 0:39:48This is the set of America's favourite TV show, NCIS Los Angeles.
0:39:48 > 0:39:50- Wow.- God.
0:39:50 > 0:39:53They've seen dogs behind the scenes and on stage.
0:39:53 > 0:39:55Now they're meeting an animal trainer
0:39:55 > 0:39:57to try their hand at working dogs on an actual Hollywood set.
0:39:57 > 0:40:01- Hi.- Hi.- I'm Chrissie, I'm with Studio Animal Service.
0:40:01 > 0:40:03- Holly, nice to meet you. - I'm Ronnie.- Nice to meet you...
0:40:03 > 0:40:07Holly's up first, and Ronnie is stepping in to play the part
0:40:07 > 0:40:08of Special Agent Sam Hanna.
0:40:08 > 0:40:12- So who would normally be the actor on this scene?- LL Cool J.
0:40:12 > 0:40:15So this is where LL Cool J would be sat during the scene?
0:40:15 > 0:40:18That's where he's going to be sitting during the scene.
0:40:18 > 0:40:19- Wow.- That's cool.
0:40:19 > 0:40:21Holly has to keep the dog's attention.
0:40:21 > 0:40:24It's her chance to use that new found voice to full effect.
0:40:24 > 0:40:25OK, go ahead.
0:40:25 > 0:40:27Mugsy, on your mark!
0:40:27 > 0:40:29Good boy...
0:40:29 > 0:40:32Movie dogs or pet dog, it seems the principles of training
0:40:32 > 0:40:34aren't a million miles apart.
0:40:34 > 0:40:36The difference between training your pet dog and a movie dog is
0:40:36 > 0:40:41we spend every moment specifically working towards a goal
0:40:41 > 0:40:44that the dog, you know, what the dog has to do on set.
0:40:44 > 0:40:47Go mark! Mugsy, go mark!
0:40:47 > 0:40:50In the end, they're both still dogs and they both still want one thing.
0:40:50 > 0:40:52They want to please you.
0:40:52 > 0:40:53Good boy.
0:40:53 > 0:40:56So I think it's very achievable to get your dog
0:40:56 > 0:40:58to play their role at home
0:40:58 > 0:41:01just like our movie dogs play their role on set.
0:41:01 > 0:41:03Bring him back to this mark and try again.
0:41:03 > 0:41:06Come to your mark. Go to your mark.
0:41:06 > 0:41:08OK.
0:41:08 > 0:41:10Watch.
0:41:10 > 0:41:12Pay the dog.
0:41:14 > 0:41:16Good boy!
0:41:16 > 0:41:17Good boy.
0:41:17 > 0:41:20Ronnie's up next. He's rehearsing a different scene for today's shoot.
0:41:20 > 0:41:22And action.
0:41:22 > 0:41:25Head down. Leave.
0:41:25 > 0:41:27Head down! Stay.
0:41:27 > 0:41:31Ronnie looks like a seasoned pro. It's made him realise
0:41:31 > 0:41:32training a dog isn't a chore.
0:41:32 > 0:41:36It can be really fun. I mean, it's not all boring, dog training.
0:41:36 > 0:41:40I hope when I get back with Bella, I can have a good time with her
0:41:40 > 0:41:42and that she will learn because I am happy.
0:41:42 > 0:41:45All right. Good boy!
0:41:45 > 0:41:47At Paramount, you never know who you might bump into.
0:41:47 > 0:41:51As Ronnie and Holly take a break on the lot,
0:41:51 > 0:41:54the show's star, Eric Olsen, turns up for rehearsals.
0:41:54 > 0:41:57He plays the dog's owner in the show and knows a thing or two about dogs.
0:41:57 > 0:42:00I think one of the things that's so amazing about it
0:42:00 > 0:42:02is that the structure that you bring to an animal
0:42:02 > 0:42:06when you're in control and giving them set rules and guidelines
0:42:06 > 0:42:08makes them more comfortable cos they understand where they,
0:42:08 > 0:42:13what role they play in your life and in their own, which is great
0:42:13 > 0:42:17cos if, you have, your dog has no understanding of your leadership,
0:42:17 > 0:42:20it's, like, fending for itself. It becomes, like, a nomad of emotion.
0:42:20 > 0:42:22I think that's the thing.
0:42:22 > 0:42:24Everything is, like, slowly fitting into place for me.
0:42:24 > 0:42:27I'm somebody that if I don't know where I stand, I can't handle that.
0:42:27 > 0:42:30But it's the first time that I've actually realised it
0:42:30 > 0:42:34and then my poor little dog doesn't know who its leader is,
0:42:34 > 0:42:36it doesn't know not to pee on the carpet
0:42:36 > 0:42:39because I don't tell it off for it. And it's kind of all slowly,
0:42:39 > 0:42:43it's making me realise that how I've handled my dog is just so wrong
0:42:43 > 0:42:48and I blame the dog but, actually, it's been me all the way along.
0:42:48 > 0:42:53To show the Brits that small dogs like Bella and Alfie
0:42:53 > 0:42:54can be just as well trained,
0:42:54 > 0:42:57Chrissie introduces a famous Pomeranian.
0:42:57 > 0:42:59This is Le Stat. Le Stat played a character
0:42:59 > 0:43:01on a TV show, Heroes, for years. He played Mister Muggles.
0:43:01 > 0:43:06And he's probably about the size of your little guys at home.
0:43:06 > 0:43:07And like I said,
0:43:07 > 0:43:11a lot of people think these little dogs can't be trained to do much
0:43:11 > 0:43:14because they're just supposed to be little lap dogs.
0:43:14 > 0:43:16But he's a wonderful... Le Stat, come here.
0:43:16 > 0:43:19..wonderful little dog that knows lots and lots of stuff,
0:43:19 > 0:43:22- especially where my bait bag is! - Yeah.- Stay.
0:43:23 > 0:43:26OK, sit. On your feet. Sneeze.
0:43:29 > 0:43:32Whoa! Sit. Beg.
0:43:32 > 0:43:35All the way up.
0:43:35 > 0:43:36Oh, my God.
0:43:36 > 0:43:38Back up.
0:43:38 > 0:43:41Jump, jump, jump, good!
0:43:41 > 0:43:44Circle. Circle.
0:43:44 > 0:43:48It is so cool to see, cos we've worked with big dogs the whole time
0:43:48 > 0:43:52and a small dog kind of looks and acts completely different
0:43:52 > 0:43:55although it's the same training. But it's really cool to see it
0:43:55 > 0:43:59with this small... cos we've both got small dogs.
0:43:59 > 0:44:00It's like, "We can do this."
0:44:03 > 0:44:05It's Holly and Ronnie's last night in LA,
0:44:05 > 0:44:07And they're spending it in style
0:44:07 > 0:44:10with an all-American meal of corndogs.
0:44:10 > 0:44:11Ah, it's wobbly, like...!
0:44:16 > 0:44:19You've got to go for it! Watch out, cos it's quite warm inside.
0:44:19 > 0:44:20Is it?
0:44:22 > 0:44:23Do it.
0:44:24 > 0:44:26I'm actually scared.
0:44:28 > 0:44:32It's not long before they'll be back in the luxury of their own beds.
0:44:32 > 0:44:33But until then...
0:44:34 > 0:44:36Right...
0:44:36 > 0:44:37- Night.- Night.
0:44:41 > 0:44:43- RONNIE BANGS HIS HEAD - Oh, my God.
0:44:45 > 0:44:48It's the Brits' final day. First, it's kennel duty.
0:44:48 > 0:44:51I'm just lubing up the butt thermometer.
0:44:51 > 0:44:54And just go ahead and stick it in, slowly.
0:44:54 > 0:44:57Their biggest challenge of the week is coming up,
0:44:57 > 0:45:00pulling together all the Hollywood dog training they've learnt so far.
0:45:00 > 0:45:03A professional Hollywood cameraman is already setting up,
0:45:03 > 0:45:07and in a couple of hours, the Brits will have to direct dogs
0:45:07 > 0:45:10on the set of their own commercial.
0:45:10 > 0:45:12So Ronnie, your job's going to be to have these dogs
0:45:12 > 0:45:15get in their sit-stay as tight together as we can.
0:45:15 > 0:45:17Holly, you come on over here and let him get them set, OK?
0:45:17 > 0:45:20Today is going to be harder than anything they've done before
0:45:20 > 0:45:25as they'll be working with untrained dogs, not highly skilled movie dogs.
0:45:25 > 0:45:28- Stay, stay.- Ah, ah. Correct him, correct him, he's...
0:45:28 > 0:45:30Things are about to get a lot tougher.
0:45:30 > 0:45:32Stay, stay.
0:45:32 > 0:45:35It's just such a big responsibility. They're putting us in charge,
0:45:35 > 0:45:37I don't want to mess it up for them.
0:45:37 > 0:45:39Come on, say something, talk to him.
0:45:39 > 0:45:42It is really important to get this right,
0:45:42 > 0:45:45it's not just a bit of fun, it's kind of like this is serious now.
0:45:45 > 0:45:47Randy was a Hollywood director
0:45:47 > 0:45:49before getting into the dog business.
0:45:49 > 0:45:52He's slipped back into the role very comfortably.
0:45:52 > 0:45:55Can't impress upon you guys enough of how important it is
0:45:55 > 0:45:59to really pull this off for us. Time to be professional.
0:45:59 > 0:46:01OK, we've had some fun during this week,
0:46:01 > 0:46:04but this is the time to get serious, all right?
0:46:04 > 0:46:07This is the time to prove to us that you've been listening,
0:46:07 > 0:46:09- you know what you're doing. OK?- Yep.
0:46:09 > 0:46:12The concept of the commercial is a tennis match
0:46:12 > 0:46:15with dogs watching and catching balls.
0:46:15 > 0:46:16Good, on your mark.
0:46:16 > 0:46:19Rehearsal this morning was a bit,
0:46:19 > 0:46:22you know, it wasn't as smooth as I was hoping it was going to be.
0:46:22 > 0:46:25I'm a little nervous about it yet.
0:46:25 > 0:46:26Get the shot and slate it.
0:46:26 > 0:46:28Ranch spot. Scene one, take one.
0:46:29 > 0:46:31- Action.- Say watch.- Stay, watch.
0:46:31 > 0:46:34For this shot the Brits need to get the dogs
0:46:34 > 0:46:38to watch a ball go back and forth as if they're watching a match.
0:46:38 > 0:46:41We need to get hotter. More dead camera, dead on camera.
0:46:41 > 0:46:45Ronnie has to get the dogs sitting on their marks.
0:46:45 > 0:46:47- Come on, come on. - OK, widen out again please.- Stay.
0:46:47 > 0:46:50- No, come on. Sit.- Try the ball.
0:46:50 > 0:46:52He's done it with well-trained movie dogs
0:46:52 > 0:46:53but things are stepping up a gear.
0:46:53 > 0:46:56Ah, ah, no! Stay.
0:46:56 > 0:46:59See if you can get Whisky a little closer to the other dogs.
0:47:00 > 0:47:01Whisky's too far away.
0:47:01 > 0:47:05- Look at, look at Whisky and say stay.- Stay.
0:47:05 > 0:47:08Over more, Ronnie, stay closer. Pass it back and forth, play catch.
0:47:08 > 0:47:11Guys, don't stop hot tossing that ball! Call their names.
0:47:11 > 0:47:13Hunter, what's this?
0:47:13 > 0:47:16Ah, ah, ah, ah, sit, sit.
0:47:16 > 0:47:17Temperatures are soaring
0:47:17 > 0:47:21and so is the pressure to get the shot in case the dogs overheat.
0:47:21 > 0:47:24- Stay.- Keep your patience.- Watch.
0:47:24 > 0:47:27Guys, let's pull 'em off for right now so it's not so hot,
0:47:27 > 0:47:29and we're going to do this again, I think we got...
0:47:29 > 0:47:33The dogs aren't the only ones getting hot under the collar.
0:47:33 > 0:47:34Frustrated?
0:47:34 > 0:47:37- Yeah.- Really, really frustrated. It's, see...
0:47:37 > 0:47:39- Ready to go, everybody?- No.- OK.
0:47:39 > 0:47:46Erm, what happens is, every dog, every day is going to be different,
0:47:46 > 0:47:51even throughout the day and that's where the frustration of movie dogs
0:47:51 > 0:47:56come into play. You've got to remember, these aren't trained dogs
0:47:56 > 0:47:59and part of what we need from you at home,
0:47:59 > 0:48:03I think what Bella needs, is for you to be able to do these things.
0:48:03 > 0:48:07And it's like, you know, "So what if it doesn't work.
0:48:07 > 0:48:09- "I'm going to make it work somehow."- Yeah. This is all...
0:48:09 > 0:48:12I think it's just cos it's three dogs rather than one, and it's,
0:48:12 > 0:48:14it's hard trying to watch three dogs at one time,
0:48:14 > 0:48:18tell them what to do. Not only am I trying to do sit and stay,
0:48:18 > 0:48:21I'm also trying to pass a ball and get them to look then sit and stay,
0:48:21 > 0:48:22then pass the ball, get 'em to look,
0:48:22 > 0:48:25and, sort of, three jobs in one, and three dogs in one.
0:48:25 > 0:48:27Ronnie goes back for another take.
0:48:27 > 0:48:31Stay. Watch.
0:48:31 > 0:48:34Placement, ready and...action.
0:48:34 > 0:48:36What's this?
0:48:36 > 0:48:38Look. Sit. Sit.
0:48:38 > 0:48:40Stay.
0:48:40 > 0:48:44Finally his perseverance pays off and he gets the shot they need.
0:48:44 > 0:48:47- Excellent. Excellent.- Over here.
0:48:47 > 0:48:52Perfect! Cut, that's perfect! Ronnie, good job!
0:48:52 > 0:48:53Good boy.
0:48:53 > 0:48:56I think I was getting a bit frustrated because there was,
0:48:56 > 0:49:00or trying to do three dogs at once but I went away, cleared me head,
0:49:00 > 0:49:03kept at it and even though I was getting frustrated,
0:49:03 > 0:49:06I just kept thinking that I had to do it for Bella so I kept at it.
0:49:06 > 0:49:07Ronnie, yay. Applause for Ronnie!
0:49:07 > 0:49:10Yeah.
0:49:10 > 0:49:14- Holly, guess who's up next?- Me.
0:49:14 > 0:49:17For this next sequence, Holly's on her own trying to get a dog
0:49:17 > 0:49:19to catch and then drop tennis balls.
0:49:19 > 0:49:22She's got to be determined to get these shots.
0:49:22 > 0:49:24- You can bring him forward a little bit, that'd be great.- Stay.
0:49:24 > 0:49:27First she needs to get the dog to catch the ball.
0:49:27 > 0:49:31- Ready, catch. Good boy, stay, stay. - No problems.
0:49:31 > 0:49:32Stay.
0:49:32 > 0:49:34Now all she has to do is get the dog to miss the ball.
0:49:34 > 0:49:36Sounds easy.
0:49:36 > 0:49:38Background out, here we go, and action.
0:49:38 > 0:49:40Ready, catch. Oh, sorry.
0:49:40 > 0:49:43- That's great, we need that shot. - Good boy, good boy.
0:49:43 > 0:49:46- That's a wonderful shot. - Come on then, come on then.
0:49:46 > 0:49:48At first, failure is taken on the chin.
0:49:48 > 0:49:51- Ready, catch.- We got another one. You got plenty of catches here.
0:49:51 > 0:49:52- Let's try and get a miss.- I know.
0:49:52 > 0:49:54But the dog continues to catch the ball.
0:49:54 > 0:49:57Shoot! Catch!
0:50:02 > 0:50:04Ready, catch!
0:50:04 > 0:50:07Uh, fuck's sake! Good boy.
0:50:07 > 0:50:08- Lob it right in front of him.- Stay.
0:50:08 > 0:50:12- Right in front of him. Here we go, and do it.- Ready, catch.
0:50:14 > 0:50:16- OK, we didn't, we didn't see it. - You didn't see it?- No.
0:50:16 > 0:50:19The dog's out of position for the only good take
0:50:19 > 0:50:22and Holly's patience runs out.
0:50:23 > 0:50:26See, I can't see that so I don't know what you want me to do
0:50:26 > 0:50:28and it's pissing me off.
0:50:28 > 0:50:31- What's going on?- I don't know what you want me to do, like I can't...
0:50:31 > 0:50:34- Just toss it right over. - You're doing fine, honey.
0:50:34 > 0:50:37- Don't get frustrated here. - Where's that coming from?
0:50:37 > 0:50:39This is just annoying me.
0:50:39 > 0:50:40- Hey.- OK, come on over.
0:50:40 > 0:50:43OK, so it's real important that you stay calm here.
0:50:43 > 0:50:45I don't know what this agitation is, OK.
0:50:45 > 0:50:48- I know it's frustrating... - It's not the dog, it's you guys...
0:50:48 > 0:50:50..let me finish. Look, let me finish, OK.
0:50:50 > 0:50:52This is what you do at home with your dog...
0:50:52 > 0:50:55- Yeah.- ..is you finally just, you get so frustrated you just give up.
0:50:55 > 0:50:57You start pouting and turning into this little kid
0:50:57 > 0:51:01who just doesn't get her way. OK, you've got to knock that off.
0:51:01 > 0:51:03That is never going to work with your dog.
0:51:03 > 0:51:07- Yeah.- OK, that dog is going to roll you right over if you do that.
0:51:07 > 0:51:09You've got to get the strength in you,
0:51:09 > 0:51:11and, "I don't know what you want..." No.
0:51:11 > 0:51:13"OK, I got it guys, I can do this."
0:51:13 > 0:51:14OK? Let's do it, come on.
0:51:17 > 0:51:20Can I have a ball? Sorry. Just one, thank you, thank you, thank you.
0:51:20 > 0:51:22- Go.- Ready.
0:51:24 > 0:51:28Good, we got it. Perfect! Cut. That's it. Yay!
0:51:28 > 0:51:31After regaining her determination,
0:51:31 > 0:51:34Holly's succeeded, and the shot is in the can.
0:51:35 > 0:51:38I guess I did go back to day one, but the difference was
0:51:38 > 0:51:41it wasn't because of the dog this time, it was because of me.
0:51:41 > 0:51:44I do hate that about me. Like it's cringe, it's pathetic.
0:51:44 > 0:51:46That's something that I've got to change.
0:51:48 > 0:51:49Slate it.
0:51:49 > 0:51:51There's just one last easy scene to go.
0:51:51 > 0:51:52And, action!
0:51:54 > 0:51:57Both the Brits know they've come a long way in just one week.
0:51:57 > 0:52:00Cut, that's perfect.
0:52:00 > 0:52:01It's a wrap.
0:52:01 > 0:52:04Give me a hug, you did it. You really did it.
0:52:04 > 0:52:07Both of you guys. I am so proud of you guys.
0:52:07 > 0:52:09That was really a lot of work.
0:52:09 > 0:52:13This part of the Brits' Hollywood dogs experience is almost at an end.
0:52:16 > 0:52:19I just think it's been all round, just an amazing journey.
0:52:19 > 0:52:22I've came here, I've learnt so much off Randy and Joe
0:52:22 > 0:52:26and I've done things that I never thought I'd do
0:52:26 > 0:52:28like going to Universal Studios, Paramount Studios,
0:52:28 > 0:52:35working with movie star dogs and it's just been absolutely amazing.
0:52:35 > 0:52:39I guess there have been, like, complete highs and lows
0:52:39 > 0:52:42and I didn't think coming out here
0:52:42 > 0:52:46would make me feel like I have out here.
0:52:46 > 0:52:52It's made us realise that the dog just wants love
0:52:52 > 0:52:56and to have fun. And she wants a purpose, really.
0:52:56 > 0:53:00It's not really the dog's fault. It's my fault as an owner
0:53:00 > 0:53:04for not training her and giving her the sort of love that she needs.
0:53:04 > 0:53:05This is it, I guess.
0:53:05 > 0:53:06Bummer, this is what I hate.
0:53:06 > 0:53:09It's taken me to come all the way out here
0:53:09 > 0:53:11to see what was on my doorstep
0:53:11 > 0:53:14and the fact that I had people telling me
0:53:14 > 0:53:17how badly behaved Alfie was, and I knew it was creating a rift
0:53:17 > 0:53:19but it's actually taken me to come out to LA
0:53:19 > 0:53:22to see it and make me really want to change it.
0:53:22 > 0:53:25Now remember, Bella is no longer the boss in that house. You are, OK?
0:53:25 > 0:53:27- Yeah.- All right.
0:53:27 > 0:53:31And I want you to remember when you go home to Alfie,
0:53:31 > 0:53:33don't get upset too easy, please.
0:53:33 > 0:53:36- Yeah. I'll try.- OK, OK. Safe trip home, OK?- Thanks guys.
0:53:36 > 0:53:38- Thank you.- Oh, I hate saying goodbye to people.
0:53:38 > 0:53:41With their Californian dream over,
0:53:41 > 0:53:45they're heading home to face new challenges ahead.
0:53:49 > 0:53:51Come on.
0:53:51 > 0:53:54In South Shields, Ronnie and Bella finally agree on who's in charge.
0:53:54 > 0:53:55Ah, ah, leave.
0:53:55 > 0:53:57She's seen that, that I am a bit more strict with her,
0:53:57 > 0:53:59but I am loving still.
0:53:59 > 0:54:03But she knows who I am, she knows I'm the leader in the house.
0:54:03 > 0:54:04Go on, then. Good girl.
0:54:04 > 0:54:07And the way Bella's responded to him has been amazing.
0:54:07 > 0:54:10Ah, ah, ah. No. Good sit.
0:54:10 > 0:54:15It's just such a change in her this last sort of two, three weeks.
0:54:15 > 0:54:17She's been so good.
0:54:17 > 0:54:19Even the house is smelling fresher.
0:54:19 > 0:54:20Nice. Right next to the bin, which is good.
0:54:20 > 0:54:23We've only been out here two seconds and she's had a poo.
0:54:23 > 0:54:26She could have done it in the house but she's chose not to.
0:54:26 > 0:54:30Now Bella no longer craves constant attention
0:54:30 > 0:54:32the couple are finally able to move forwards.
0:54:32 > 0:54:35Because she's being good, me and Hayley are fantastic now
0:54:35 > 0:54:38and we don't argue, we don't bicker
0:54:38 > 0:54:42and we can see a future now and we are talking about kids.
0:54:42 > 0:54:47He's changed. He's more determined and positive about the future.
0:54:47 > 0:54:50It's, it's a happy household now. It's a home.
0:54:50 > 0:54:52The three of us are really happy.
0:54:53 > 0:54:55Good girl.
0:54:55 > 0:54:59In Oxfordshire, Hollywood's rubbing off on Alfie
0:54:59 > 0:55:01and Holly's training a little star in the making.
0:55:01 > 0:55:04Stay. Come. Good boy!
0:55:04 > 0:55:07Sit. Down. Play dead.
0:55:07 > 0:55:11It's nice having a dog that actually kind of wants to be with me
0:55:11 > 0:55:14cos he respects me and not because he thinks I'm an idiot
0:55:14 > 0:55:15and takes me for a ride.
0:55:15 > 0:55:19Alfie hanging on Holly's every word means no more headaches for Mum.
0:55:19 > 0:55:24No little poo parcels underneath the pool table, nothing by the piano.
0:55:24 > 0:55:27I've checked believe me, I've checked.
0:55:27 > 0:55:28Stay, good boy.
0:55:28 > 0:55:30I think with my mum, she can see
0:55:30 > 0:55:33that I am actually for once trying to do something about Alfie.
0:55:33 > 0:55:35Stay.
0:55:35 > 0:55:38That helps as well cos I've got her on my side now.
0:55:38 > 0:55:40Come. Good boy.
0:55:40 > 0:55:44The stress that was created when she first came home with a dog
0:55:44 > 0:55:47doesn't bear thinking about now. It's almost like when you've had a baby.
0:55:47 > 0:55:51You forget the pain because it's gone and things are a lot calmer.
0:55:51 > 0:55:55Holly's even looking with a friend for a new place to live.
0:55:55 > 0:55:58- Ohh.- Ah that's really good for Alfie.- Yeah.
0:55:58 > 0:56:00I'm excited to get my new place with Alfie
0:56:00 > 0:56:04and carry on training him there cos that'll be different for him.
0:56:04 > 0:56:08He'll be in a different environment but, no, things are looking up.
0:56:08 > 0:56:12Alfie! Hello! Good boy.
0:56:12 > 0:56:15Alfie, do you like this house? D'you want to live here, Alf?
0:56:15 > 0:56:19- I think he likes it.- Oh yeah.
0:56:19 > 0:56:21Next time, two clueless British dog owners
0:56:21 > 0:56:24face the deep freeze in Alaska.
0:56:24 > 0:56:27They'll race some of the most powerful dogs on Earth.
0:56:27 > 0:56:29That's amazing.
0:56:29 > 0:56:31But will they be left out in the cold?
0:56:31 > 0:56:36- Don't ever, ever let that go! Those are MY dogs!- OK.
