Dogs Behaving (Very) Badly

In this episode, presenter Graeme Hall introduces viewers to two rather unusual canine companions. The first is a toy poodle called Ralph, who’s currently at odds with his owner, Karina, after a recent disagreement that has left the little dog somewhat estranged. The second animal is a wire‑haired dachshund named Tulah, who has a quirky habit of clucking like a chicken each time the car sets off on a journey. Hall spends time with both pets, observing Ralph’s uneasy relationship with Karina and noting Tulah’s distinctive clucking as they travel. The segment highlights the pair’s peculiar behaviours without venturing beyond what is shown.

Graeme Hall encounters two feuding spaniels whose endless squabbles are spoiling what should be a peaceful, long‑awaited retirement for their owners. The constant bickering is turning the couple’s dream of quiet relaxation into a noisy ordeal. He also comes across a randy labradoodle adding to the household turmoil, and uses the chance to offer straightforward nail‑clipping advice, covering the basics of choosing the right tool, keeping the dog calm and trimming safely. He suggests rewarding the dog with a treat after each clip and checking the nail tip to avoid the quick, ensuring a painless trim. He also advises using a calm voice and gentle handling to keep the animal relaxed throughout the process.
