Summary

Graeme Hall catches up with a couple he recently met on TV’s Dogs Behaving Very Badly. Scott and Christy’s dogs Buzz and Roshi used to be the best of mates, but when they moved house the happy family dream became a nightmare. The dogs fought so much they had to be kept in separate areas of the house. Graeme began training by taking the dogs outside, so neither felt territorial... The Dogfather also debunks whether it’s possible to know ahead of time if two dogs are going to get on or not, and what your dog’s body language might be trying to tell you about how comfortable they are with another dog. Do you have a question for The Dogfather? Send Graeme a voice note and a video of your pesky pooch to [email protected]

0:00.0	Hello, I'm Graham Hall and this is Talking Dogs, the podcast where I, as a dog trainer with nearly 15 years experience under my belt, answer all the questions you have about your dog's behaviour.
0:21.6	I also catch up with the owners of dogs I've helped train on TV's dogs behaving very badly
0:26.6	in the hope that you'll learn some principles that you can put into practice with your pooch.
0:36.6	Now Pug, Buzz and Chow Chow Roshi,
0:40.3	two dogs I met recently for the TV show dogs behaving very badly.
0:44.3	Now they used to be the best of buddies, but almost overnight they became sworn enemies,

0:54.5	get at each other to fight. Scott, Christy, it's great to catch up with you again. When I first
0:59.3	arrived at your house, it was a bit of an obstacle course of various closed doors and baby
1:03.1	gates to keep the dogs apart. How'd it got to that stage?
1:06.5	Yeah, it's just a way and a means of keeping them apart. You know, it's like Fort Knox the house, constantly jumping over baby gates,
