Dog Borstal

Did anyone watch it last night on BBC 3?

Mick, who I think is fab was given a little chihuaua with a big attitude and he was gutted!!!!! He hated the little dog that much he asked the other guy to swap with him!
The other guy had 2 out of control male staffy crosses who were both stunning!!
They did so so well and both passed with a distinction bless them!

No I didn't see it. I always miss it!! I love Mic Martin, I think he is hilarious. Loved the one with the EBT that got the better of him!!

Aww i missed that one night, i think Mic Martin is brill :D

Another goregous staffie on there last night - Taz - a lovely red boy from Staffordshire! Mick had the pleasure again!!

Mic Martin cracks me up but I find it silly what BBC are doing I'm sure he wouldent say carry a bag all the time and job so far if you paid him.
I like Rob but Lynne I rather despise "Any dog and i'l find a method that works" She had the american bulldog pts and that deaf bully she struggled with - me thinks she needs a new motto!

I have read loads of good things about Mic on different sites as to what he is like as a person and apparently he's a really great guy. I like his no-nonsense approach to the people who have ruined the dogs in the 1st place. I guess because when I am asked for help and it becomes obviouse the people i'm dealing with are ruled by the dog thru no fault but their own I am almost as straight forward (without all the swearing)

He is very straight to the point with the dog owners which works really well.

I have only ever known them have one dog PTS on Dog Borstal - the Bulldog which I admit was a shame and I'm sure there was other methods they could've tried. But on the whole I really like the programme and their methods do seem very effective. The only thing I'm not sure of is the over use of rattlers - sometimes I just don't think they are neccessary. I know they don't hurt the dog but I don't think a dog should be scared shitless as a form of training.

There was a gorgeous staff on there last night called Maggie who was the spit of Jade apart from the pointy ears! Lovely girl!

That realy Pi$$ed me of that episode!!, With a proper trainer or owner that would of been a great dog I was so ANGRY!!!! :twisted: I do not want to watch that crap any more!!! I have seen a lot more aggresive dogs than that on there before so why put it to sleep, if it was a poodle she might of tryed No effort at all to help the dog but NO!! personally its the Bull part in the name why she pts I think. I watch to much Casar Millan he would of rehabilitate this american bulldog in a week, Dog Borstal is soooooo crap!. Between the 3 trainers I am positive that they could of came up with a solution to cure him, lazy crap trainers If I had a gun I would shoot Rob then Lynne then make Mic Martin do 20 press up then shoot wat a twat !!:evil:

that 1 was a repeat ive seen it befor and mick i alright makes me smile
