Muster Dogs: Collies and Kelpies – “Five-Month Assessment” (ABC Australia, Sunday, February 16, 2025)

The Dog House

Five months into their training, the collie and kelpie pups on Muster Dogs: Collies and Kelpies face their first major test. It’s Team Collie versus Team Kelpie in a showdown that will separate the contenders from the, well, still-adorable-but-not-quite-ready-for-primetime pups.

Over in Kaniva, Victoria, Kim and her kelpie Banjo appear to be cruising. Banjo is proving to be the model student, soaking up training like a sponge. Meanwhile, Renee’s collie, Pockets, seems more interested in socializing with the older dogs than focusing on her lessons. It’s a classic case of puppy distraction, and Renee is starting to feel the pressure.

Blythe, the regenerative farmer, has formed a tight bond with her kelpie, Banksi. However, Banksi’s playful nature has a downside: a penchant for chasing chickens. Aticia Grey, a seasoned competitor from Muster Dogs Series 1, arrives to offer Blythe some expert advice, but will it be enough to rein in Banksi’s mischievous streak?

And then there’s Jack and his hyperactive kelpie pup, Pesto. Their training has been hampered by Jack’s busy schedule, leaving Pesto short on the attention he needs to truly connect with his human partner. Will they be able to pull it together in time for the assessment?
