Britain is a nation of dog lovers, but what happens when domestic bliss turns to chaos? Luckily, there's someone you can call. Master dog trainer, Graeme Hall is on a mission to restore harmony across the country. He has built his reputation on finding quick but long-lasting fixes to almost any unwanted dog behaviour, helping to train over 5000 canines (and 1 fox!) and their owners. His mantra is clear: "Any Dog, Any Age, Any Problem."
I do hope Graeme reads these comments, and hears how many of those commenting zero-in on the problem right-away. WHY are people acquiring dog breeds that are so poorly suited to their profoundly sedentary lives?! Well, we all know why - the puppy is either cute, or of a breed that's currently trendy. Today's breed du jour are French bulldogs - bad enough when you consider that many of the pups must be born by c-section - but at least better than the earlier craze for Australian shepherds 😳!
In the various DBVB episodes, we've seen
- owners who seem surprised that schnauzers bark 🤣
- a border collie (puppy!) described as "highly anxious," which would probably be a STAR on a sheep-farm 🐑
- a hard-driving GSD w. an intense play-drive trying desperately to give himself the physical & mental stimulation he craves 🐕🦺
- a Weimaraner puppy - a hunting breed! - cooped-up all-day w. no walks, no socialization w. other dogs, and no mental stimulation 🦆
Two other dog behaviourists who have shows come to mind - Cesar Millan (of Dog Whisperer fame) & Victoria Stillwell (host of It's Me or the Dog). Both these trainers are quick to ask the uncomfortable question of owners: "Why did you get this dog? Why this breed?" And both often identify lack-of-exercise as one of the major contributing factors - if not THE factor - in solving a dog's "problem." Indeed, I saw Cesar live once, and recall him saying, "People think I work miracles, when a lot of the "miracle" is me taking the dog for a brisk 45-minute walk, or a 30-minute bike-ride, before we 'work on the problem.'" He noted that by then? The problem was often either greatly reduced - or gone.
Generally I find dog owners are the problem not the dogs. They think dogs will react like humans, and understand speaking in sentences!
Six minutes in and seeing people want to murder a beautiful 4 year old German shepherd just for wanting to play is crazy. He just needs proper breed fulfillment, poor bubba.
Thank-you! Graeme seems like a great trainer, yet I'm not sure why he doesn't address with owners their choice to get, say, a border collie (puppy?!) when they're not athletic, or a GSD - another hard-driving working breed - when the owners aren't either willing or able to fulfill his perfectly natural desire to run & be intellectually stimulated. If you and your dog aren't the right fit? Responsibly re-homing the dog to an appropriate owner who's researched the breed & knows and *wants* the qualities that comes with it, is hardly the same as failing, or admitting defeat. Yes, it can be hard - but it can also be a wise & loving thing to do.
Beautiful working dog. You see what the dog needs. A game of tug of war. It’s so easy when you take the time to play and understand your dog. Give your dog a job or they search a job😂
I don't get it - the lady with the Weimaraner said she loves to travel? so why on earth would you get a dog, especially that breed??? that makes absolutely no sense😕🐾🐾
Agreed. People get dogs without any idea at all. She should’ve got a gold fish!
Exactly

a lot of people on this show, any dog show really, just have no clue how to handle dogs. Do these people just not do any training with their dogs? I went on puppy course and 2 obedience courses with my current dog (who also happens to be my first dog) and she is so good because of it.
So basically people get dogs and do absolutely no research on how to raise them. Please educate yourselves when getting a dog. Make sure the dog is going to fit your life style and make sure you are able to fulfill the needs of the dog you get.
YES!! Well said!!
That poor beautiful weimaraner puppy. She deserves an owner who will appreciate her. That woman should just volunteer at a dog rescue or dog sit. The mum calling the dog nasty said it all.
NEVER EVER get a dog if your priorities are holidays, what is wrong with people, dogs need us!! I have been unable to see my parents in England since 2018, my son Brok needed me more, then COVID hit and my father was too ill for me to see, then Brok broke his neck and passed in Apil 2023, luckily I still have Brad, but I will not leave him, he is my son, he needs me. So I skype Dad every week, make your decision, I did, right or wrong. 🐶🐶🙏🙏
The shepherd owners are bad enough. But being travel crazy and getting a Weimaraner puppy of all breeds? Hope the owners of case no 3 are better...
It wasn't exactly the same but we used to have an American bulldog that did very similarly with the lead as Oakley. Even with a chain lead she would grab and shake it, happily hitting her own head or us with the lead, and it was incredibly embarrassing. The only thing that worked was to go back to the house and wait everytime she grabbed the lead, had to be more stubborn than her. Don't think that would work with Oakley though because the lead is the fun part to him, but for my dog the walk was what was getting her so excited.
Graham you really need to advise some of those people to rehome their dogs to a good home - I am scared for the German Shepherd he is not safe with those owners - they are completely hopeless with the beautiful German Shepherd - they should not have such a dog and he obviously does not have walks ans stimulation and he is NOT biting he is trying to get the lead and their hand is in the way - he needs to be with a family who appreciate and love him who can manage him properly - ie walk him properly in the lead and give him lots of fun and stimulation and walks - and not locked up inside - he is a herding dog - that beautiful dog is in danger in that house - you should be helping those people rehome that dog Graham - those people should not have a dog and to the woman who owns the German Shepherd don’t you dare kill him - it’s you not him - please rehome him ( dont sell him on gumtree) to a proper rescue
I feel really bad for that German Shepherd. I'll never understand why people get dogs and can't control them. Hope to god they don't have any kids.
9:50 Obsessed by the leash !!
It's been his "reward" for years tugging on that lead.
It seems Tinkerbell just needs some obedience training and crate training...
Are you missing something here? How about some serious EXERCISE & socialization with other dogs!?! This is a hunting dog - a highly intelligent working breed - who's cooped-up with a single working woman & sometimes her older mother, neither of whom acknowledge the dog's need to be exercise, perhaps relying on "the big backyard" to do that for them. While Weimaraners always looks sad & anxious, I think *this* dog actually *is* legitimately lonely & bored out of her skull. The owner had enough sense to not have kids, knowing that she prefers to focus on herself, yet didn't have the sense to look for an older, calmer dog - one that might be OK with being home alone during the day, and one her mom could easily care for on her upcoming "2-week all-inclusive." 🙄
@@Lionforaday Hello & yes I did miss mentioning proper exercise and training for Tinkerbell. But I'm not entirely sure whether that warrants such aggressive tone-bordering on taunting-from a fellow Internet user like you. I won't add anything because obviously you care about dogs and you do have your points. But this aggression really puts me off making any sort of comments or trying to communicate online.
This shepherd had only one job. With the focus of these guys and the fact that it made all the other jobs impossible, that is a difficult circle to break. I have a dog as serious as this one who took it upon herself to police the neighbourhood on walks - that took TONS of time and other activity to replace. Working dogs can be such a challenge.
I have 4 dogs one of my dogs likes to carry his leash so I clip 2 leashes so he carries 1 and I carry the other one
Leanne has a yard but her dog is in her house the entire time and she wonders why she can't get away from the dog without going out to sit in the car? Does she need Graeme or just some common sense?
Dogs like the first one: i use a chain lead - then it feels bad to bite it and we can practice loose leash walking with a lot of rewards. and from time to time then i pull out a tug-of-war-toy because they like the game so much. but it is no longer the lead that is used. when they are more trained i even use the hand strap of the lead to play. but this is a thing after some months of good behaviour on any lead so they would not mix things up again. but the chain lead is a good thing to use because i had not to correct the dog so often - environment (the chain) does a part of it and my corrections are not like constant nagging ;)
addition: as i can see from the stature and colour of this german shepherd: he comes from working lines - no wonder he worked with you for 4 hours. i would have liked to be there. i am not better than you. but i can deal well with calming down this kind of dogs. the worst was a puppy from a working line that i rescued at age 40 days - all of the litter except one allready dead and she was not half the weight she should have had. she had like 2,5kg and she had also a crazy and serious prey drive. and she was into bikes. can you imagine a 2,5kg dog, biting a tyre and not let go - this is deadly. i trained the little dog by taking my bike into my flat and push it just an inch. this was enough to trigger her drive. then they drive came still and she let go eventually or i even took a bit of beef to change her mind. we worked on the first 5 inches/10 centimeters like a week till she could see it roll and not get that weird look in the eyes like being hypnotisized. i could feed her besides the bike roling a bit back and forth. and eventually we could go down to the yard. i would push the bike slowly and she would eat treats out of my hand. it was deep winter and very icy in this year - this was our good luck, because so there where few bikes and the few we could allways manage to handle. the winter was also very long in this year and so till the dog was a few months old and REALLY fast (she ran with all sizes of dogs like whippets and barsois and in between), she was no longer triggered by bikes. only a few years later she barked and chased away a biker in the forrest who passed us very rudely on a small path and allmost pushed me down the hill. but this was ok. i hope he learned a lesson.
I had that exact thought, to use a chain lead, though of course it is going to have leather or nylon hand-strap - I think the trick to that might be to spray the strap with vinegar, so it's not so pleasant to bite! Personally, I'd never - not ever - allow the dog to play with the hand-strap; it's just too easy for a dog like this to revert back to old habits, even after months - or years. I liked your idea of taking the tug-toy along - as long as the dog isn't constantly searching for it. The play drive in a GSD is very strong - but a quality that's a pain-in-the-a** when you're trying to have a quiet walk, would be a God-send when you're doing search-and-rescue.
Great job Oakley
Tinkerbell is searching for Neverland….😂
I know it's not the final solution to the problem, but why don't these owners put a lock on the inside of their bathroom, bedroom door?
Why can't these people just not have dogs? They're putting so many people in serious danger and stressing the dog for what?
Poor Arthur is having a panic attack. Poor pup.
Alsatians need lots of free running excercise at least two and a half hours running around a day
The fact they still let the German Shepherd use the blue lead as a toy at the end. What happened to common sense? Either get a new lead or stop letting the dog play with the one you walk them with!
For heaven's sake, someone teach Graeme how to play tug! You don't shove the tug at the dog's mouth, and you don't throw it until the dog learns to value the game enough to bring it right back to you for more play. Tug is about giving the dog something to go after, compete for, and win! All they really needed to do was play a decent game of tug with the proper toy, and when the dog tries to use the leash as a tug toy, drop it.
I'm certain that my dog would rather be beaten than have the joy of playing tug taken from him. I've seen some impressive bits of training from Graeme, but this was weak tea!
I’m kinda perplexed? That German shepherd would be such an EASY fix! Muzzle wasn’t needed. Dog likes biting the lead? By a chain lead. Metal isn’t fun to bite and chew.
I can understand..but such an incompatible dog choice hope it goes well..

Is he wearing a mask ??!!!
I know 🙄 We're legitimately living in the craziest time in history.
These are reruns - the show was probably filmed during covid years.

There is a better dog in the US. What’s going on with repeating shows! Yawn
I don't understand your comment. Do you mean a better show?
