12 Puppies and Us

In this episode, Lyra the pomsky moves in with the busy Cuthbertson family in Gateshead. Toddler Ellie is initially excited by her new playmate, until Lyra chews through her toys and even her doll's bed. Her parents call in Louise to help stop the chewing and restore harmony to the house.

In Cardiff, the big day arrives for Chinese crested powderpuff Fabio. Alisa has been too anxious about his safety to let him off his lead. But after weeks of careful training, will she finally have the confidence to allow him to run free across the beach?

And in north London, first-time owners the Kothari family are struggling even to find a pup. Lockdown has created a record interest in new puppies, with some breeders seeing their waiting list swell by as much as 300 per cent. Dog behaviourist Louise is worried they may buy one from a puppy farm.
