Dogs Behaving (Very) Badly

In the programme, Graeme Hall encounters Ralph, a toy poodle who has fallen out with his owner Karina. He also meets Tulah, a wire‑haired dachshund that clucks like a chicken on every car journey.

Graeme Hall fronts a short programme episode that centres on his encounters with two very different dogs. The format follows Hall as he meets the animals and learns about the quirks that set each of them apart. In this instalment, Hall is introduced to a toy poodle called Ralph. Ralph has recently fallen out with his owner, Karina, leaving the little dog in a state of tension. Alongside Ralph, Hall also meets Tulah, a wire‑haired dachshund whose most distinctive trait is the way she clucks like a chicken every time they travel by car. The episode captures both the strained relationship between Ralph and Karina and Tulah’s odd, noisy habit on the road. The contrast between the two pets provides a light‑hearted look at canine personalities. While Ralph’s conflict with his owner hints at a more serious side to pet ownership, Tulah’s constant clucking adds a comic element that keeps the journey lively. Hall’s interactions with both animals highlight the varied ways dogs can behave, from the emotional fallout of a broken bond to the simple, amusing noises they make during everyday outings.
