Season 1

Though only a single season of 10 episodes, the popularity of Barbra Woodhouse and her method of dog training grew to the point of public demanding a second broadcast in the UK, in the early 1980s.

Popularity was equally rivaled in the USA, where public broadcast and VHS alike were consumed by dog owners anxious to firmly but lovingly train their canines into order.
