04:27will be his only companions I've cried a few times yeah I've cried a few times I
04:35I couldn't live without them but I'm lonely as well I am I'm really lonely come on rest time
04:46no I need Graham's help desperately like a lot of working dogs the poodles need quite a lot of mental
04:59stimulation and when they don't get that well they kind of find their own mischief often training
05:05three at the same time is difficult that's why we're sending in the big guns special agent Hall
05:14making contact in five four three two one
05:20is this normal is it this is how it is yeah time so if you stand up now and wander over there
05:49somewhere they'll just follow you yeah yeah there you go now they're going oh that's it Joey can't
05:56even get some air without the full security detail set they follow you everywhere so three dogs holding
06:08a man captive well yes kind of but only because they love him too much that's for sure I suppose it's a
06:13nice feeling in a way it is but I just want to be left alone a little bit and right just enjoy my own
06:19time and look at Lulu just glued to me yeah she isn't she she's very attached yeah yeah watch out
06:27Graham Prada's on the prowl for a new prisoner do you mind oh yeah yeah now you see that's what happens
06:35um to all my guests yeah some don't like it thanks she's loving you yeah it's a bit much frankly go
06:40down here go on go on it's impossible to sit and chat properly that's why no family or friends tend to
06:47visit they get stressed and they go look we're going they leave are you single then I'm single yeah yeah
06:52yeah no one wants to date me not with ease and it gets a bit lonely sometimes Graham's got a feeling
06:59it's not just Joey's love life that's being held to ransom I noticed the damage by the door on the way
07:05this house was immaculate before they came along when I leave or I'm they're waiting for me that's when
07:13they're bashing bashing bashing till I open the door well let's say you're about to leave now yeah so
07:18I'll just I'm going to the shop shop the what what I'm going to the shop shop the shop shop I'll repeat
07:24things twice usually I'm going to the shop shop okay I'll be back in a minute okay good girls
07:29settle down okay get back get back good girls I'll be back in a minute just going to the shop shop
07:38bye don't you mean bye-bye
07:41as the fugitive makes his escape the poodles lose their noodles
07:49and welcome to a new episode of when poodles go feral please bring daddy back lucky for them
08:01Joey's got a serious case of Stockholm syndrome there's being close and there's been too close
08:10if you were talking about human relationship you would probably refer to it as a kind of toxic
08:15co-dependence feel guilty when I leave if you're worried all the time you're out yeah so therefore
08:22I don't go out anyway so how did how did this this collection of poodles come about so in the past I
08:28had a bit of depression okay and my friend kept saying to me what you really need is the dog like
08:33those times where I couldn't get out of bed but because of Lulu yeah you have no choice yes start
08:39over one dog great idea and then you just carried on going didn't you yeah that changed my life but
08:45it has committed me at home now Joey got Lulu to help him out with his depression but now that
08:54codependency is actually affecting his mental health I think Graham needs Joey's full focus on
09:01the problem but he can see this fluff spell won't be broken that easily how do you distract him for
09:0820 minutes oh the only way I can is by giving them we call it stick stick it's a dental it would be two
09:14words ago yes I have to say stick stick Joey's obviously a smart guy I think on one level he gets
09:21it but on another level there's a part of it that's sort of in denial there's a little stick stick my
09:27worry is when I tell him what needs to be done will he listen I don't know where's the bow stick stick
09:33good boy can he step up can he do this training without caving because frankly if he does cave
09:40we're back to square one coming up stay back stay back can Graham help Joey push back on his poodles no
09:50she's gonna power over mate the mum and daughter stuck in a shih tzu sandwich and a rare breed who's got
09:58the need for speed there he goes okay where is he
10:03settle down settle down Joey lives under permanent house arrest with poodles Lulu I'm watching TV Prada
10:17and Valentino hold on they live with him on him okay it's my turn now in his head hi there bye if he
10:25tries to leave that's when they really lay it on thick I'm gonna save the behavior when Joey's not
10:32around for another day because if we can't fix this in the house when dad's there I think we've got no
10:39chance when he walks out the door frankly so the dog father's got a simple plan and a roll of tape
10:45to rescue Joey from beneath the poodle pile on we're creating a bit of an exclusion zone this is our bit
10:53that's your bit if you're over there we let them know that we approve yeah but they can't come up
10:58here and force the issue okay well it will if you can be tough enough okay Prada and Valentino decided
11:05to take it easy underneath the couch but that's fine because they're not bothering Joey so let's
11:11concentrate on Lulu and let's see if the kids will follow her lead I think we keep it simple and just
11:18say yeah stay back you know how about that yeah I think that's a coincidence probably but that's the toad so to start we'll
11:28we'll physically have to just guide her back gently but firmly stay back stay back stay back
11:35stay back that's it good girl oh that's interesting she's going around the side look
11:42she's I'm going to try and do the cute puppy eyes thing I know she's doing it isn't she she's breaking
11:46my heart no she's not doing it look she's going to pour over me you have to be clear stay back stay
11:51back that's it good girl stay back Lulu's unleashing a weapons grade guilt trip Joey don't fall for it
12:03do you think she feels like I don't want her anymore or something she's got that look in her eye
12:07yeah but while you're thinking that she's pulled a fast one there you go stay back yeah but don't
12:15laugh and smile because the voice says stay back what the face says good girl this is the hardest thing
12:20for you well I'm always smiling at them it's time for this old softy to embrace some tough love or at
12:28least attempt a stern voice stay back look at that good girl good girl clever girl all right
12:37wow she has stopped do you still love me yeah I do now for Lulu to even think about crossing the line
12:45is well out of line if we carry on talking to each other let's see what happens now we'll pretend to
12:51invent a conversation right she's nudging she is she's trying her best yeah yeah that's what we're
12:59after not only has she walked off Lulu's having a lie down good girl the new what's lovely about it as
13:09well as she's reading our body language and the other two haven't got involved at all no why don't
13:14we pop into the kitchen come back and sit down again if they do start crossing the line we know what to do
13:20it'll go one way or the other won't it the poodles are having a sniff sniff for a stick stick
13:27so we'll go sit down but Joey's doubling down on his new favorite phrase stay back stay back
13:34there we go needless to say it Lulu's trying hardest stay back
13:40we talk to each other again she might walk off yeah she might well I think we'll just give it a
13:48minute so she's gone ha I think I gave it five seconds there mission successful agent Hall the
13:54hostage has been released oh Graham that's working I'm just overwhelmed by it it's great in a good
14:04way I'm yeah I am anyway you're overwhelmed by poodles this morning Joey's been great today he's
14:09really stepped up he knew there had to be a change but he didn't know how to make that change sometimes
14:17the hardest thing you do you know he's taking that first step to ask for help I'm feeling a lot
14:21more relaxed now about it it's it's peaceful they still love you just as much you still love them
14:27but there's rules attached I'm actually quite shocked sitting on that couch on my own the dogs
14:32just kind of vanished still hurts a little bit but it's for our own good we'll have family over
14:39friends over the love interest over yeah be able to chat properly I'm excited I do need to come back
14:50another time because we've still got this issue of what happens when Joey leaves the house that could
14:54be a different kettle of fish because training a dog when you're there is one thing training and when by
15:00definition you ain't present that's more difficult right I'll leave you to it for now Graham's leaving
15:07Joey to some freedom thank you don't worry we'll be back to let him out okay get back that's it great
15:20as much as we love our dogs I think we would all recognize that when the dogs are calling the shots
15:25in the household that's the wrong way around I mean excuse the fun but it's the tail wagging the dog
15:30in it people will make all sorts of adjustments to their life and and the house even and then there's
15:37this moment where you realize that your life is being controlled by a dictator who's a dog
15:44often I walk into a situation I think blimey how could you get to this but you know what it's just nice to
15:55be able to help people there's plenty more Aussies who need your help Graham so it's off to your next
16:04glorious location on the scenic south coast of New South Wales I'm in a place I've never been to today
16:11now a lovely spot not far from Jervis Bay so a real area of natural beauty this and there's a lot of serenity
16:20around here there's not much of that the house I'm going to Christine and Kirsten are as close as a
16:33mother and daughter can be and I'm not just talking about their near-identical names mum's my best
16:39friend she understands me she gets me she's my world blessed that's my relationship with my daughter I'm
16:47blessed these ladies share everything from their taste in clothes to the roof over their head and
16:53when it comes to dogs they both love themselves a Shih Tzu oh we like cuddles don't we her name is Georgie
17:02with an eye not a Y she's eight and she's my person I know she loves me and I madly love my dog
17:10Charlie's my person she's a Shih Tzu cross terrier she's 10 she brightens my day she is my beautiful
17:22baby girl I would be lost without her all this love should make for a happy home but when these dogs get
17:31together the Shih Tzu hits the fan it's instant absolutely instant the minute they see each other
17:43in the same space it's all they lock eyes and they just want to kill each other it is a shit fight
17:58what she did so now Georgie and Charlie live in solitary confinement with Christine acting as head of
18:09security the house is barricaded here and barricaded there got baby gates everywhere that side Charlie's
18:16side and Georgie's side another no-go zone my whole life is spent keeping the two dogs separated
18:24on the Georgie out for a wee the doors have all got to be locked there's everything's locked this
18:30whole house is locked up stay safe safe safe you can't relax because if you leave the door open
18:37yeah one home two factions zero hope it's gonna take the dog father to break these borders down
18:50back on your own again all I would love to do sit in that room there watch a teleprogram just having
18:56girly time with our little puppy dogs who just loved us too and loved each other and all was well
19:01with the world but we just can't because they would actually kill each other
19:04Christine and Kirsten are up Shih Tzu creek without a paddle
19:16their dogs Georgie and Charlie can't stand the sight of each other and is tearing mother and
19:24daughter apart all I would love to do sit in that room there watch a teleprogram just having girly time
19:30with our little puppy dogs but we just can't because they would actually kill each other
19:34come on no so the dog father's on his way with nothing but hope and a pocket full of liver treats
19:43two dogs fighting it's never easy it's one of those things that you kind of drag going to
19:48two females as well as when females take against each other it can get very nasty can end very badly
19:53I mean look at it does she look like a savage horrible little dog it's such a vicious little
20:02thing aren't you Shih Tzu means little lion so what we've got here are dogs that on the outside are
20:12quite cute but our little lions underneath it's too late to call a sick it's too late by far Graham time
20:20to summon up your courage sir and march into the lion's den hi hi hello hi hi I'm Kirsten nice to
20:32be here and this is Charlie hello Charlie come through and you can meet Georgie will do thank you
20:37morning hello oh hello I'm so excited to see gosh I hope you sort our girls out oh well I'll do my best
20:45see what's this then this is Georgie Georgie
20:50see your problem this is mad innit look at the eye her eyes are popping out of her head
21:01no beware the Shih Tzu stink eye Graham come on
21:07as soon as you pick her up she stops there's a clue in that but if you stop cuddling her like
21:16that what happens now oh he's good oh no oh blimey yeah I tell you what do you normally take her out
21:28there that's your part of the house yeah what I'm seeing is that mum Christine's dog Georgie is the
21:34one who very much starts the fight keeps it going as long as she can meanwhile Charlie looks a bit
21:39calmer the problem is it only takes one door to be left open doesn't it if it wasn't for us stopping
21:47it I think that Charlie would have the better of Georgie she would fight to the end if something
21:55horrible happens to her how would you feel she wouldn't cope I don't think I'd cope to be honest
22:00hmm look at her she's my baba is this causing tension between you it it does as soon as we start
22:12talking about how it all started that's when the tensions rises I know I've seen at least four or five
22:24goes where Georgie was the one who was being attacked we're now going to have a fight
22:29instigation is Georgie nine times out of ten there's conflicting views as to why this started
22:41however if we got any chance of getting these two dogs back on the right road mum and daughter are
22:45gonna have to work together as a team if they can't do that I think I'm sunk before I started
22:50but Graham's picked up on some interesting patterns and not just from Christine and Kirsten's decor
22:56Georgie on the face of it you'd be thinking well there's an aggressive dog really she's the one
23:02who's constantly looking for a brawl she's doing it because she's scared she's a nervous dog oh wow
23:10her eyes are coming out of her socket she's like get away get away get away get away from me get away
23:14from me get away from me I think she's scared to death half the time which takes me to the next thing
23:19so she kicks off and you're both doing the same thing all right in effect you're going yeah good
23:29girl I'm encouraging her is that what you're trying to say because you've got Charlie and you're like
23:35yeah you put them down again right they fight you pick them up you give them a cuddle again yeah
23:41you're encouraging so we need to turn it around right Graham's goal is to get this family of four
23:48sharing a sofa without any fighting so Charlie's here we're going to bring Georgie in if she kicks
23:55off you can say no you're going to take her outside you go out with her right and it's like well you're
24:00blowing it we're both out here now right if she then calms down you then go okay good girl we'll try
24:07again you bring her in meanwhile if she kicks off same rule applies she's going to have to go as well
24:14right okay but under no circumstances are you going to pick her up and give her a little cuddle if she's
24:20barking shall we give it a go let's give it a go right let's bring her in then yeah round one
24:26Charlie's in position Georgie's making her entrance okay Christine cue heart racing tension
24:33oh right straight back out oh both of you well I didn't see that coming round two and both dogs
24:45are eyeing each other off through the glass all right it's okay it's all right oh she stopped we've
24:55got something to work with now you say no again no no wait for it no good girl come on plot twist
25:10Charlie's got more bark you know than expected well welcome to the wonderful world of dogs just when
25:15you think you know exactly what's gonna happen you clearly don't it'll be a long day this the dog
25:29father's trying to sort out a pair of scrapping shih tzus at first it looked like Georgie was the
25:35problem but now Charlie's shown her true colors the fact is it doesn't really matter how this started
25:43and it doesn't really matter which dogs to blame Christine and Kirsten I've got to be a team so with
25:52the dogs and the owners all on notice it's back to the training okay Christine we'll try again the
25:58mission one family one couch no meltdowns anyone kicks off it's back to solitary right here we go
26:07you hear the difference now I don't know what to do now yeah I want to now it's good you're taking
26:32control of your dog your mom's doing the same with her dog and you've both been really clear no this
26:36is not acceptable or indeed yes this is better yeah and it's really clear in it they still haven't
26:41quite got Georgie into the room so Graham's got another trick up his cravat what you can do you can
26:48stand in front no and then you can do that again hey hey hey no we don't do that Christine
26:56wastes no time putting it into practice that's it pause no well done and the effect is almost instant
27:06oh my god good girl well we're in the same room no no like I said almost instant but with a bit more
27:17practice that's too far right oh that was very good good girl well you took control of that one
27:23Christine shall we get her a little bit nearer again all right no no further than that right
27:29well now look they see when you appeared she looked at you it's like oh right good girl
27:35this wouldn't have happened before no would it can I just sit down for a minute of course you can
27:42oh Georgie's progress has knocked Christine off her feet do you want to cuddle well I think she's
27:50done a cuddle no you she's in a big cuddle yeah go on then and just like that we're a whole couch
27:56cushion closer to our goal cookies so this would not happen normally right no no she's got a worry in
28:04the world sofa so good guys but Graham's got one more big box to tick I would like to see you both on
28:14the same couch before I leave today let's not mess about all right very good there we go no good
28:24grab a seat good good girl good girl good girl not gonna lie bit of an anti-climax but in the best way
28:35possible well this is a picture of contentment isn't it you can't believe it can you no I can't she's
28:40really totally relaxed thanks to Graham the ladies are back together and looking calmer than ever you
28:47did say it'd be lovely to sit on the couch together and just watch the telly yeah it would be I don't
28:52know if you've seen it but there's this really good dog show on channel 10 what a turnaround in a day
28:57mum and daughter see an eye to eye on this they know exactly what to do to see Georgie asleep on mum's
29:03love magic moment though no more baby gates and no more prisons no more segregation and hopefully lots
29:12more time with all the ladies enjoying their favorite show what a nice man what a nice man he's a good
29:19lovely man he's a real gentleman yeah the loveliest dog trainer in the biz has still got some work to do
29:29he's heading back up the coast for a rare opportunity I'm back in Sydney today and well
29:35you know it's a big place loads of people loads of dogs so naturally I've seen lots and lots of
29:40different breeds but today I'm gonna go see a breed I haven't seen here before a Basenji
29:46when Rupert and Cricket set out to get a dog they didn't want to settle for your average pup
29:56they wanted something a little more legendary and from the moment they met this gorgeous guy
30:06they knew they'd found their holy grail his name is Indiana bones but we call him Indy for short he's
30:15the cutest dog ever he's just the best yes we're together all day every day I can't imagine life
30:22without him he's a real integral part of our little sort of family situation true to his name Indy's
30:28always up for an outdoor adventure but if they let him off the lead now stay there he goes okay Indy
30:37just rides off into the sunset Indy at the dog park he is an escape artist he's always getting into
30:48trouble Indy hey I think the the treasure he's hunting is you know other dogs butts Indy he's
30:57just kind of going further and further where we can't see him he's out of sight until you know he's
31:01near the road or just completely we don't know where he is Rupert where is he oh god he's down by the rocks
31:09Rupert's convinced that Indy is eternally cursed this is a genetic trait of the breed of Basenji I feel
31:18like we've lost already if the dog father can't help Indy's action hero days are numbered and this
31:25is why we can't let him off the wheel I think that Graham has his work cut out for him and there is
31:33zero chance that he'll be able to conquer Indy so Basenji's come from Africa from Congo and they
31:41were hunters dogs which means they've got a really strong prey drive in other words they spot something
31:47they smell something they're after it and it's hard to get them back not to say impossible so I might
31:53have your work cut out here coming up Indy can Indy be reined in or has Graham finally met his temple
32:02of doom and Joey's poodles might be giving him some space but they're still going loony when he leaves
32:10Rupert and cricket feel like they're chasing their own tails their Basenji Indy has no regard for
32:28recall and it's led to some nail-biting cliffhangers oh god he's down by the rocks so Graham's on his way to
32:36try and tame this wild adventurer I've asked this Basenji's owners to make me at a park that I know is
32:43secure because I just don't want to take any risks all right Indy you're gonna be a good dog or a bad dog
32:51right if you let him off all right Indy as Graham makes his grand entrance Indy makes another quick getaway
33:03Indy Indy Indy Indy come come on in so that'll be Indy that is it that will be a brown spot off in the distance
33:17Indy yes I see your problem if I go to him he'll run from me probably yeah go on I see that
33:25yeah yeah I could see exactly okay that's why I have a send you you don't know they're not famous for
33:36being trainable well this is the thing like we have subsequently found out number 78 yes on the list of
33:4379 yes of dogs by trainability with 79 being the least Afghan hound by the way don't get one of those
33:50either I'd say they've already got their hands full but they don't and that's the problem things have
33:57you tried to get him back there I discovered roast chicken okay the old bachelor's handbag I was carrying
34:04roast chicken for myself one day and let him off and he was right by my side yeah good boy then I started
34:12doing that um that would be part of our walk but uh walking around is a little bit embarrassing the
34:18bachelor's handbag good boy I love the fact that an American and a Brit we're in Australia talking
34:25about the most Australian thing the bachelor's handbag right I mean we can afford to kind of have a laugh
34:31about it here but yeah there is clearly a very serious side to this isn't there when he takes off
34:36it's he could be in the road within seconds right before you blink an eye which has happened
34:40unfortunately really we need to fix this don't we but if Graham's gonna fix Indy Indy Indy come here
34:48nothing hello someone's gonna have to catch him first
34:53list Indy here he comes yeah go Indy Indy Indy oh off he goes oh yeah there you go
35:05hello mate you're all right yeah Graham meet Indiana Bones Indiana Bones how can I stay angry at that
35:15faith no I know he's lovely isn't he there's a voice in my head saying good look with that mate
35:23we definitely think Graham has his hands full it's gonna be a massive test for his abilities I think
35:30Indy luckily Graham loves a challenge and the dog father's not here to horse around
35:37I've decided to bring the guys here to a horse dressing yard because it's a safe environment
35:43and yet it's full of distractions I think for Indy being off lead is great fun he gets people to
35:51chase him but it's a big game for Indy so I think we've got to play a game we've got to make it fun
35:56we've got to get him to chase us not us chase him to play this game they'll need one of Graham's
36:03favourite tools and one of Indy's favourite treasures I've got a long line I've also got the classic
36:10bachelor's handbag yes but I'm going to put that away and then little bits of chicken are going to
36:14reappear when he's earned it I'm going to start running backwards he'll chase me because he knows
36:18I've got chicken yes so he runs to catch me as he's running I got Indy come he's like oh new game
36:26of chase right yeah yeah if I show him what I've got hey excuse me Indy come yeah so I chase you get
36:33chicken yeah that's a game I'll play oh I like that game the dog father is betting that Indy will
36:39choose the chicken chasing game over being chased himself yay good boy it's time for cricket to take
36:47the wicket Indy Indy come okay we're not there yet but Indy's not playing ball so cricket has a few more
36:57cracks at it okay Indy come lovely Indy come there he's got it look Indy come oh yeah as soon as he heard
37:07you go come he's like oh right I'll do that with a fresh dip into the bachelor's handbag Rupert's up
37:13so if you were to call him try calling him now Indy come oh brilliant Indy come oh look at you go
37:21Graham's ready to take this game to the next level final test now this time I'm going to take him
37:26off later you ready oh full stakes gambling here we go three two one off you go
37:32Indy come oh wow good boy winner winner chicken dinner Indy come fantastic look at that good chase
37:44well that was good Indy come oh good boy that's it wow look at this Indy come there you go good boy
37:55and you know what that was for no reward there was no chicken that's all yeah wow okay sooner or
38:01later you'll get to a point where it doesn't have to be chicken every single time that was great fun
38:05I didn't think we'd get that far with the lead off necessarily but we did Graham's game has helped
38:10tame the untameable turning this rebellious runaway into a loyal sidekick well done well done yes
38:18look at you listening I think that's a happy ending to the day we've got a really happy dog
38:22because he's discovered that he loves chasing people the game that Indy was playing this morning
38:28chase me chase me he was having great fun but he didn't realize that was a dangerous game
38:33the game he's playing this afternoon I chase you it's just as much fun if not more
38:38without the dangers he'll never know that but his mom and dad do where I was a complete skeptic 24 hours
38:46ago right I think I can see a pathway where he will be able to be let off the lead and he will be able
38:52to have all the fun in the dog park and we won't have to panic about yeah him getting hit by a car
38:58absolutely yeah I really thought Indy would be Graham's nemesis thanks again great Graham did in the end
39:06defeat 100 million years of evolutionary challenges that were before him so I'm really a convert it
39:13really worked I'm impressed but our hero is not able to write off into the credits just yet
39:20there's still the issue of Joey and the poodle posse to deal with remember him three poodles no
39:28boundaries a house that was more like a hostage situation Graham's taught the whole family to
39:34respect a few boundaries stay back good girl but Joey's departure still triggers full poodle pandemonium
39:44it's a case of dogs being so connected to their human that they almost feel as though they can't
39:49exist without him clearly that's got to change
39:52once upon a time Joey was held hostage by a high maintenance poodle triad stay back look at that
40:07thanks to Graham the fluff handcuff that was Lulu Prada and Valentino has been released it's been fantastic
40:16I've had a few visitors come around now they were so shocked they're like what's wrong with your dogs
40:22it's just so much more relaxing the couch may be calm but the drama's not over yet
40:29there's another problem perhaps a bigger one which is when he leaves
40:33settle down he's going to the shop shop bye
40:40they were crying and whining and scratching at the door even when I was in the room
40:48this isn't one of those things where you could just wave a magic wand and the dogs changed completely
40:53in a day we can get Joey on the right track and then if he keeps practicing I think it'll make a big
40:59difference for him stay back stay back good girls say hello welcome back this is impressive oh yeah
41:11big difference isn't it well you've been doing your homework oh yeah well done yeah well today I can
41:17give you a technique that will keep them a lot calmer when you're leaving we'll leave if they're
41:24barking we don't step back in when they calm down that's when you go all right come back in
41:29goodbye good girls yeah so we're rewarding being calm when dad leaves okay and the reward is you
41:36coming back it's the biggest reward in the world for them this training is all about timing so graham's
41:42getting joey's place rigged for success i want to know what the dogs are up to behind that closed door
41:47so i've got a couple of little cameras that i'm going to set up and we can watch what they're doing
41:52if you do what you normally do as you're about to go say your normal thing and and we'll go okay
41:59all right lulu about prada i gotta go shop shop i gotta go shop shop i see you later okay bye shop shop
42:06shop shop shop oh they're barking barely down the driveway and the poodles are sounding the alarm joey has
42:15left the building there's a howling from here they're all yeah yeah barking ignored the trio tries a new
42:25tack for maximum guilt lulu's done with being subtle it's time to take a pause on approach how's that
42:36make you feel you want to go back there i do if you go back now though they think that brings dad back
42:43yeah they win so we've just got to ride the storm after a few more minutes the poodles power down
42:52they've walked away from the door as well right then come on let's go back back i think that was a
42:57bit better than the dogs are at their worst but we've got a long way to go hello you lot hey babies
43:04hello we're back we're back one thing i've noticed is that joey says shop shop because he's popping down
43:11the shop and that just winds the dogs up so i think we're going out again don't say the words we'll just
43:17we'll just go off we go this is a different vibe lulu's swap barking for brooding oh look at her
43:29yeah bless she's still trying she's listening out the window now she's got away again that's already
43:37a lot calmer than than before yeah 100 percent val's the one that goes off like a firecracker yeah
43:44now he's just chilled yeah there's absolutely no howling at all graham can see they're finally
43:51learning to let joey go look at that see look how calm they are it's lovely it's nice that right
43:59come on all good things come to those who wait and for these three joey is the jackpot
44:06here we go the dogs have got it now they're a lot calmer dad goes dad comes back dad only comes
44:26back when you're quiet and i think they know now that if dad needs a bit of space that's fine he
44:31still loves you yeah he's a good girl and good boy i'm so proud of you so proud of you well in
44:38credit to you the reason they're like extraordinarily calm i think is all the work you've done
44:44i think keep practicing it you need to do it a few times you know and then you'll bet it in the
44:50dog fathers helped joey teach his poodles some patience all he has to do is drop drop the shop shop
44:58you can say kiss kiss i'll say kiss kiss always but no yeah no shop shop graham thank you so much
45:04fantastic yeah i think the training we've done with joey's poodles it's got the potential to be
45:11really life-changing i feel free mentally free i can just shut the door and off i go it's such a
45:17difference huge huge lulu val prada bye graham's going bye graham bye bye
45:32in narra oh my god was television with georgia and charlie come on the baby gates haven't come down yet
45:38let me put a chair up but the girls have managed to enjoy some movie nights together
45:47over in sydney's east excitable indy is hooked on a new type of adventure
45:52that doesn't involve heart attacks for rupert and cricket indy indy come indy come yeah good dog wow
46:01since we had graham we've actually been working quite hard i think doing this sort of training with
46:06the long lead good boy there's a substantial improvement with indy just in terms of actually
46:13just acknowledging us good dog i'd say 95 of the time he's coming to us come good boy for graham just
46:24like i said well done yes i think he proves me wrong i was pretty convinced that indy had your number
46:30but it actually turned out that uh you've really done something quite significant for us so thanks
46:37very well done yeah thanks thanks a lot graham i i knew you could do it rupert's the one that had
46:42the doubts i knew you'd fix him it was a good day today schmoo and back at joey's place the negotiations
46:51are still ongoing stay back but a peaceful coexistence is near get a lot of time to myself now a lot more
47:00peaceful time and when i do leave the house the dogs still tend to get a little bit rowdy
47:08but it's a lot less than what it was in the past i can go out and not stress too much about them
47:13anymore i'm very happy with it i'm really pleased next time on dogs behaving very badly it's only a
47:20beer a german shepherd who's declared war on happy hour double trouble these spaniels throw a tantrum
47:29when their dads dash for the door not working this is it and a walk on the wild side with this german
47:37pointer howling screaming she's bonkers
