RealMedia: Training Dogs


Training Dogs The Woodhouse Way

Training Dogs The Woodhouse Way was a show about training your canine chums. The star of the show was eccentric, bossy senior citizen Barbara Woodhouse. Her woolly kilt and sensible shoes helped make it a much bigger hit than was originally expected.

Barbara, at the age of 70, was a former horse trainer and had developed her own forceful techniques for teaching dogs obedience. Her methods were criticised at the time and since.

It always seemed to be the owners who looked terrified, not the dogs!
