Graeme Hall explains what dogs might be thinking when they experience strange noises and sudden movements that we as humans consider entirely normal. He hears from a listener whose dog starts barking when they drive through puddles, and asks if the owners are accidentally praising the wrong moments.

The Dogfather also catches up with Annmarie who he met on TV’s Dogs Behaving Very Badly. Her terrier Buster hated the hoover, so they had to break down all the movements and noises involved in cleaning the house in order to let him understand they’re not a threat.
