Bad Dog Academy

Mum and daughter Kristie and Kirsten have six basset hounds: great fun, except for the barking. As soon as one hound starts all the others join in. Can Jo use a whistle and a few magic words to get this unruly crew under control? Barber Josh is inseparable from Ace, his French bulldog. Ace's separation anxiety is the most extreme that trainers Kamal and Sean have ever seen. And, when Charlotte moved back home with her parents after a break-up, Dixie the Dobermann came too. But Dixie's overpowering lunging out on the lead means that no one in the family will walk her. Now her parents have issued an ultimatum - either Charlotte steps up for her dog or the dog has to go.

Young couple Ellie and Sam live in a canine warzone, keeping three dogs apart. Graham and Theo were the best of friends, until Leia the Pomeranian arrived, and now they can't stand each other. Victoria has some hard truths to impart. Trainer Sean loves working with big dogs, so he's in luck this week, as Great Dane puppy Sid needs to learn some manners on the lead. His owners Mark and Angela are overpowered and out of ideas. Can they get their big baby under control? Dawn and Don dote on their rescue dog Buddy, but even they can't ignore the threat he poses to any delivery driver who comes to the door. He's bitten two and now even locked doors can't restrain him. Jo takes them all on a crash course to see if they can fix their communication problem.

Yasmin and James often hide out in their bedroom to escape Ronnie the bulldog's irrepressible humping urges. This is two-year-old Ronnie's fourth home, and unless trainers Sean and Kamal have some smart ideas, it might not be his last. Grieving Pomeranian Pixie has started behaving very strangely around her food. Victoria places owners Jo and Tony under her tuition to help bring their sad pup back to her best. Naomi and Joe have a baby due imminently, and desperately need their first love, Tank, to stop guarding all of Naomi's belongings. It's down to trainer Jo to help their family life get off on the right paw.
