It’s back-to-school time for unruly canines, as Channel 4’s Bad Dog Academy returns for a second season, although season one was known just as The Dog Academy. Presenter Nick Grimshaw, a dog-dad himself, oversees the chaos as expert trainers Sean and Kamal work their magic on a new batch of naughty pups. From oversized mastiffs to packs of tiny terrors, the academy doors are open to all breeds and behavioral issues.
This season’s premiere features Ghost, an eight-stone Cane Corso mastiff who’s become the neighborhood nightmare. Can Sean and Kamal transform this gentle giant into a lovable family pet? Elsewhere, newly-engaged couple Chelsea and Owen face a different kind of canine conundrum. With six chihuahuas and a cavapomchi named Mr. Bollinger vying for attention, their relationship is starting to fray at the edges. Will the trainers be able to restore harmony to both the human and canine sides of this household?
Bad Dog Academy isn’t just about training dogs; it’s about repairing the bond between humans and their four-legged friends. It’s a reminder that even the most challenging dogs, with the right guidance and a bit of patience, can become loving companions. Catch the season premiere this Thursday, April 3rd, at 8:00 PM on Channel 4.
