Bad Dog Academy - Season 1

Ferocious cockapoo Bear is driving a wedge between owners Paul and Louise. With their marriage under stress, Victoria and Adam must help tame Bear's aggressive behaviour before it's too late. Eleven-year-old Chihuahua Gina is a pocket rocket with an attitude problem. Because of her penchant for attacking other dogs, mum and son Cindy and Cory have to carry her around in a special zipped-up safety bag. It remains to be seen whether the trainers can teach an old dog new tricks.

Destructive Dalmatian Lupin and owners Kelly and Emilien arrive in desperate need of help. With tens of thousands of pounds of damage done at home, trainer Victoria takes both canine and couple under her wing looking for a solution to stop the carnage. Meanwhile, Jack Russell-cross Mya demonstrates a violent phobia of car windscreen wipers, leaving Nanci and Jo seeking a speedy solution in case it rains on the journey home.

Jack Russell Bertie loves to bark - and brothers Sherlock, Dobbie and Gizmo are only too eager to join the chorus. However, the incessant barking is a cause of worry for husbands Andy and Rich, so they call upon trainers Nanci and Jo to help calm this cacophonous quartet. Plus, a wife seeks help calming her 18-month-old cockapoo Freddie, as his behaviour is terrifying her husband.

Cockapoo Maggie and German shepherd Cody are brought in by their owners Diane and John, who have grown tired of Maggie's diva-like ways and cannot understand why she hates her pooch companion. Meanwhile, muzzled collie Marvin has left owners Laura and Dave at their wits' end. They are concerned by his lunging and nipping and fear he'll eventually bite someone. As trainer Jo begins the delicate process of earning Marvin's trust, there's no knowing how he'll react.

A new student enrols in the imposing form of a four-year-old newfador called Ruby. Eight-stone of solid dog, Ruby refuses to budge when owners Nichola and Zeal take her for a walk. However, trainers Sean and Kamal soon there's more to Ruby's stubbornness than meets the eye. Six-year-old Maltese Bichon cross Marco arrives with fed up owner Beth in tow. Beth inherited Marco from her late father - and Marco's repaying the favour by ignoring every word Beth says.

A crack team of Britain's top specialist trainers addresses the behaviours of two more troublesome hounds. Pint-sized Chihuahua Dexter has been snapping at his owner Sean whenever he tries to get some `alone time" with his girlfriend Charlotte. Wonder, a blind dog, exhibits extreme anxiety whenever he finds himself in unfamiliar places. With stressed-out owner Ben in tow, trainers Sean and Kamal have their hands full straightening things out.

The trainers give advice to Melissa, whose labrador-cross Milo is running rings around her and makes a dash for it every time she calls his name. Two-year old zuchon Archie is aggressive to strangers and has begun to bite, and mother and daughter owners Kirsty and Katie are desperate to end hiss reign of terror before it gets any worse.

Yorkshire terrier Marley adores his owner Louise, but suffers severe stress whenever she leaves the room. Trainers Sean and Kamal are on hand to treat one of the worst cases of separation anxiety they've ever seen. Toy poodle Daisy is barely able to see because of poor grooming. However, she is determined to remain unkempt - and bites owners Wendy and Dahana every time they approach her with a brush.
