| 5/17/22 | ![]() Episode 60 – Dogs Who Use Their Paws | Graeme Hall tackles a number of questions listeners have about dogs who like to use their paws. First up is a cross breed who absolutely loves digging up the garden. Her owner has made her a sandpit so she can dig there... but she’s still intent on making a mess of the grass. Then, what does The Dogfather suggest for a dog who keeps flipping her water bowl upside down and causing a mess on the kitchen floor? Plus, help for an old Jack Russell who can’t stop gnawing at her paws. Do you have a question for The Dogfather?

| 5/10/22 | ![]() Episode 59 – Settling Dogs Alone | Graeme Hall talks through how to help your dog settle in various scenarios, including when you’re busy working from home, when you leave them alone in the house, and at night time. How long should you leave your dog by themselves? Should the dog be able to sleep out of their crate? How much should you interact with your dog during the day? The Dogfather explains that the answers to all these questions is always ‘it depends on the dog’. Do you have a question for The Dogfather?

| 5/3/22 | ![]() Episode 58 – Teaching Dogs To Share | Graeme Hall helps a couple of listeners whose dogs don’t like sharing things – particularly toys – with other dogs. First, he wonders if a spaniel who can growl when others try to play would benefit from learning some boundaries in other areas of his life. Then, he hears about a cockapoo who isn’t enjoying the company of the new puppy the family have brought home. Is the fact that he’s not neutered part of the issue? Plus, people have to learn to share too... if your new partner comes with a badly behaved dog, how can you help them understand that you need to share responsibility for training?

| 4/26/22 | Episode 57 – Dogs and Toys | Graeme Hall helps a couple of listeners whose dogs don’t seem to be particularly interested in toys. First, an owner who wants to use a toy to teach his food-motivated rottweiler an ‘out’ command, and secondly an owner who would like her rescue dog to learn how to play. The Dogfather also wonders whether it’s important that every dog likes playing, or if some just never will, and that’s ok. Plus, why might brain games be just as – if not more – important than physical games? Do you have a question for The Dogfather?

| 4/19/22 | ![]() Episode 56 – Communicating with Dogs | Graeme Hall explains the principles behind why we generally communicate with dogs both verbally and visually with voice commands and hand signals. With this in mind, he then helps two listeners who have deaf dogs. One can’t hear other dogs barking when he might be playing too rough with them, and the other can’t hear his own incessant barking. Given these dogs can’t hear verbal commands, those visual signals become more important, as does communicating physically through things like little tugs on the lead and stroking as a reward.

| 4/12/22 | ![]() Episode 55 – Dogs Exploring With Senses | Graeme Hall explains how dogs explore the world with the mouths and noses. He met spaniel Bertie on Dogs Behaving Very Badly; he was grabbing and eating everything from facemasks to fireworks. The Dogfather recaps with owners Jackie and Daisy how they taught Bertie a ‘leave’ command, and talks them through how to continue the training out on walks. A listener also has a question about her dog who sniffs obsessively out on walks. What will Graeme suggest to help combat this frustrating habit? Do you have a question for The Dogfather?

| 4/5/22 | ![]() Episode 54 – Dogs That Bite | Graeme Hall tackles two problems with dogs that bite. The first gets over excited when visitors arrive, and explores the new people by getting his teeth round their wrists. The Dogfather is clear he’s not being vicious, but he does need to be taught how to stay calm in exciting new situations. The second dog is chihuahua Hulk, who Graeme recently met on the TV show Dogs Behaving Very Badly. Owners Kathryn and Craig catch Graeme up on how their training’s been going since he left. They originally called him in as their dog was scared of them, and reacting by biting. Do you have a question for The Dogfather?

| 3/29/22 | ![]() Episode 53 – Dogs That Don’t Like Cars | Graeme Hall talks about dogs who don’t like cars – one that barks and lunges when he’s near traffic, and one who bites and lunges when she’s put inside the car. The first is Old English Sheepdog Wilson, who Graeme met on TV’s Dogs Behaving Very Badly. Owner Joanne joins The Dogfather to catch up on how she and Wilson have been getting on since their first training session, including talking about how different collars and harnesses have made a difference on their walks. The second dog is being fed in the boot of the car in the hope of creating positive associations with the space. Is this the right thing to be doing to help the situation?

| 3/23/22 | ![]() Episode 52 – Dogs With Strange Obsessions | Graeme Hall explains why finding our dogs behaviour funny at first could be paving a path for that behaviour to become a worrying obsession. On this week’s episode of TV’s Dogs Behaving Very Badly Graeme met sprocker Brodie who was obsessed with licking bald heads. Owners Carol and Kenny join Graeme to talk through how they stopped this behaviour. Plus, why do some dogs lick in the first place? The Dogfather also comes to the aid of a listener whose spaniel’s obsession with chasing shadows and lights is affecting her quality of life. Do you have a question for The Dogfather?

| 3/16/22 | ![]() Episode 51 - Stubborn Dogs On Walks | Graeme Hall talks to owners of dogs that have very strong opinions about their walks. He catches up with Lisa and Linda from TV’s Dogs Behaving Very Badly whose German Shepherd cross Buddy would often just plonk himself down in the road on a walk and refuse to move. Graeme explains how he got Buddy moving again through the right body language, tone of voice, and clever use of the lead. The Dogfather also gives advice to a listener whose Weimaraner refuses to come back to be put on lead at the end of a walk. The secret might just lie in some of his favourite treats...

| 3/9/22 | ![]() Episode 50 – Greedy dogs | Graeme Hall explains how to make your dog understand the difference between human food and their own dog food. He recently met Ilana and cockapoo Bailey on TV’s Dogs Behaving Very Badly; Bailey used to snatch food out of people’s hands, steal food from picnics, and jump on tables hoping for some grub, but Graeme put some boundaries in place that mean Bailey can now calmly sit nearby when his family are at the dinner table. The Dogfather also gives advice to a listener whose whippet constantly jumps up at kitchen counters in search of food. Do you have a question for The Dogfather?

| 3/2/22 | ![]() Episode 49 – Dogs at war | 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.

| 2/23/22 | ![]() Episode 48 – Dogs with Phobias | Graeme Hall talks through the principles behind helping get your dog over their phobia, regardless of what it is.

He’s also a therapy dog, so they chat through the wonderful benefits for Rachel’s therapy clients of having him at their feet to stroke. Do you have a question for The Dogfather?

The Dogfather also catches up with Annmarie who he met on TV’s Dogs Behaving Very Badly.

| 2/2/22 | ![]() Episode 45 – Difficult relationships with dogs | Graeme Hall recently helped an owner see the part he was playing in his deteriorating relationship with his dog. The Dogfather met Ray for an episode of TV’s Dogs Behaving Very Badly; Ray felt Welsh terrier Henry only had a problem with him, not his wife. He wouldn’t let him get out of doors and would nip at his shoelaces, but Graeme wondered whether Ray was acting differently around the dog and causing these reactions...
