yeah I watched that, it was great to see Caspers lunging put to a stop :). I have to admit I cried my eyes out because of the other dog having to be PTS even though I knew from the start that would probably happen. I thought it was quite funny that it ended up to be Caspers owner holding the lead too tight in anticipation of aggression that was causing the agression in the first place. Especialy as she'd spent a fortune on all those potions and crystals, just shows you sometimes the simplest things eh. he he.

I was really disappointed with the way that poor American Bulldog was dealt with. Admittedly, I missed the first few minutes so didn't see why he was at Borstal in the first place. I came in at the point where he bit the vet and snapped at the trainer, and it was a bite that didn't draw blood and wasn't a repeated attack. Everyone knows that even the most abidable dog can become nervous/stressed/aggressive at the vets, they're confined in a small space where they can't take flight, freezing isn't going to help as the vet is still going to make contact so the only thing left to do is fight. If he had been brought into Borstal for aggressive tendancies then surely the owner should have muzzled him and the trainer should have suggested it. Surely the owner knew how he might react to the vet!

The point where the dog was absolutely terrified in the kennel was heartbraking, he had his tail wedged between his back legs and was almost cowering in the corner. The dog was scarred and the worst thing they could have done was to gathering the other trainers, kennel staff and camera crew into discuss how to deal with him!

It was strange that Mic, who said he enjoy the challenge of "dogs with attitude" was unable to assist and Lynn to say "you can't pass a problem on". I wonder how many rescue dogs would have been put to sleep under this premise? I feel the programme failed to use the opportunity to educate potential dog owners in the importance of research and commitment.

Rant over - BTW, I thought Casper was lovely and it was amazing to see how he was transformed!
