What a fantastic programme!! My hairy lurcher boy also enjoyed it"" All those whistles and he even helped track the bloodhound scent. What a pity that those dog owners who needed to watch it probably didn't ie my collie is destructive etc etc. And what a gorgeous girl Mollie was :wub:

More educational programmes like this would help us all and hopefully the viewing figures will reflect this and enable more similar programmes to be commissioned.

I really enjoyed it. It was good to see a programme where you saw all the hard work going into training the dogs over several months, rather than the 'quick fix' dog borstal approach.

The Bloodhound's trainer was fabulous, such a lovely man. Great to see a dog learning to do exactly what she was bred for and loving every minute of it. I nearly cried when she was accepted as a police tracker dog and he handed her over to her new handler.

It was really interesting to see how the trainer worked the beardie (who had been a sheep killer) in the small pen with the sheep, and fantastic that after all the training she is giving him a permanent home as a working sheepdog on her farm.

If anyone missed it, it was a BBC2 Natural World programme, and I think is repeated on Sunday.

It was an excellent programme and I really enjoyed it. Much better than the recent Underdogs show that had been aired on BBC2 as well.

Definitely the best dog-prog in ages )

I loved the way the training was based around working with the dogs' natural instincts and strengths and was for a real purpose!

Just shows that dogs respond best when they are allowed to be dogs...
