| Summary |
*Coarse Language*Essex hairdresser Ed treats his two little pugs like royalty. He feeds them the finest human food, dresses them in the latest fashions and lets them have the run of the house. The dogs' behaviour is becoming a growing issue for Ed's partner, who is fed up. Single, stay-at-home mum Bexy is trapped in her house, spending more time looking after her unruly labrador than her three-year-old son. Ed and Bexy both leave their dogs behind and travel to Canada to spend a week working with a special operations group and their army dogs.Seasoned military dog trainer Mike, is ready to teach Ed and Bexy what it takes to train the army's dogs. Mike believes that any badly behaved dog is simply a reflection of the owner.The army training pushes Ed and Bexy to the limit, and when Bexy needs to leave the program to attend to her sick son back in the UK, she is replaced by stroppy teacher Georgia, who is as defiant as her dog. Assigned an army dog each, Georgia and Ed learn to use their voice to control the dogs, abseil off tall buildings with their dogs attached and take their dogs stealthily through water obstacles. Will the experience help them re-evaluate their own lives and become better pet owners?PRODUCTION DETAILS:A BBC Production, series producer Lizi Wootton |
