Hello, welcome back to Talking Dogs. I'm Graham Hall, but I'd like to think we know each other pretty well at this point, so you can call me the dog father, if you like.

Now, over the last 12 years,

I've helped train thousands of dogs, everything from tiny terriers to massive mastiffs,

and in fact, you might have watched some of my training sessions on television's dogs behaving

very badly. As well as working with owners one-to-one and being on the telly, I make this podcast

as a way to share even more of my advice and experience

because, well, I can't even begin to tell you how full my inbox gets with Concern Doggown

as asking, what, great questions. So I like to do my best to help answer as many of those questions

as humanly possible here. Well, it's great to have you with me. Let's get going with today's training.

Having a companion who loves you unconditionally is one of the, well, that's the biggest reasons that we get a dog. Now, nothing beats the excitement of coming home to big cuddles with

a dog who's been so looking forward to seeing you. But what happens when

you can't go about your day because your dog is, well, getting under your feet, acting more

like your shadow than your companion? But what happens when pet becomes, well, pest? I met

Leanne and Vimerana Tinkerbell for the telly show Dogs behaving very badly badly. Leanne, just how Klingy was Tinkerbell before I arrived?

Klingey is probably an understatement.

I couldn't do anything at all from getting a shower to getting ready,

putting the makeup on, doing my hair, putting my clothes on, hanging the washing out,

sitting on the sofa, you name it.

She was there all the time.

It was really bad, wouldn't it?

I remember when you said, well, I can't, I've heard it before, you know, I can't take

a shower because, you know, my dog follows me towards the show.
