Episode 3
Chris Packham hosts as owners and their dogs compete. This episode's challenges are all designed to test the owners' ability to immerse themselves in their dog's world.
This physical and mental competition plays out in the Lake District where eight owners and their dogs compete together in a series of challenges - all in a bid to make it to the grand final. Only one pair can win but experts are on hand to help them all unlock the full potential of their partnerships. Chris Packham hosts and unveils the science behind the incredible bond between human and dog.
Owners hail from all over the UK and the canine competitors come in all shapes and sizes, from an energetic border terrier called Betty to a stoic labrador named Flapjack. This episode's challenges are all designed to test the owners' ability to immerse themselves in their dog's world.
The eight pairs are split into two groups, the reds and the yellows, and it's the yellows who have the first chance to score points in scent-based orienteering. Owners must use their navigation skills, allowing their dogs to sniff out buried cheese. For Josh, it's a great opportunity to see what labrador springer cross Doug is capable of, but there's no cheese for one dog when its owner gets thoroughly lost. The reds take on a woodland obstacle course where owners test the theory that dogs can learn just by looking.
The final challenge is an open water swim, and one pair blows the rest of the competition out the water. There are tears for others when they realise just how much their dogs mean to them.
Final scores reveal that while some are contenders for the final, others have too few points to stay in the contest.
