Graeme Hall catches up with Liane from TV show Dogs Behaving Very Badly. They reflect on how her boxer Woody used to behave – jumping all over visitors, darting out the front door, and stealing balls from her son when he was trying to play with friends in the garden. They talk through how they managed to calm this excitable dog by teaching him how to slow down and control his impulses.

The Dogfather also explains how similar principles might help a listener whose speagle gets very excited around her two young children.
