Channel 5 seeking naughty pups for new series of Dogs Behaving (Very) Badly

Channel 5 is looking for naughty four-legged friends to take part in the upcoming series of Dogs Behaving (Very) Badly.

The TV channel is set to film the third season of the show, and dog trainer Graeme Hall is ready to help more dogs with issues.

Avalon, which produces the show, is asking for pet owners to apply.

"If you feel your dog could benefit from Graeme's help or you'd just simply like to know more about the show then please contact the team on dogs@avalonuk.com or call 020 7598 7365," Avalon Factual told LadBible.

The company has assured that filming will comply with Covid-19 guidelines, as they added: "We will be following all government guidelines and will adapt our filming protocols in line with those."

Graeme has worked with nearly 5,000 pooches in his 10 years of experience fixing bad doggy behaviour.

Seasons one and two have been big hits with viewers and featured troubled pups including miniature schnauzers with an 'attitude problem', stroppy bassett hounds and aggressive terriers and collies.

Graeme recently shared some of his tips for whipping bad dogs into shape on an appearance on This Morning.

The dog whisperer shared: "Often it's because we don't reward the good bits, because we get stuck in telling them off for what they do.

"And then when they stop and they're actually quite good for a while, you kind of forget to go, 'Good boy.'

"So if you're not careful, by accident you end up nagging them."

Hall also opened up on the struggles of taming a rescue pup, as he explained: "Quite often with a rescue dog you don't know the back story, so nobody knows what the history is with that dog.

"So you have to simply say, 'It is what it is, we know what the issues are and we go from there. If you don't leave that behind it can be a problem, because sometimes you're too sympathetic towards them, you [feel] sorry for them every time they're anxious. They're anxious, they think you're anxious and it gets worse and worse.

"The best thing you can do is really rise above it and go, 'It's fine, everything's okay,' and that demeanour's a good start point."

Anybody interested should email dogs@avalonuk.com or call 020 7598 7365.
