“Bad Dog Academy” is back with a stack of practical advice for dealing with unruly canine companions. Led by Nick Grimshaw and a team of expert trainers, the show tackles a variety of behavioral issues, from overfeeding to sibling rivalry.
This week’s episode features three challenging cases. First up are Tim and Chelsey, whose bulldog, Bobby, is unable to walk due to excessive weight gain. Trainer Victoria Stilwell has some tough love for the owners, explaining the serious health implications of Bobby’s condition. Meanwhile, Lynn and Dean are struggling to manage the escalating conflict between their older dog, Harley, and their new puppy, Jack. Their constant fighting threatens to turn into serious injury.
And finally, first-time dog owner Natalie seeks help for Milo, her miniature dachshund, whose nervous yapping is driving her to distraction. With patience, understanding, and a few expert techniques, the trainers at Bad Dog Academy aim to restore harmony to these households, one paw print at a time. “Bad Dog Academy” airs Thursday, April 10 at 8:00 PM on Channel 4.
