Purina Pound Pups to Dog Stars - First Episode

Television (Full Length Episode) – 2014

Reality series Purina Pound Pups to Dog Stars is presented by animal behaviourist Mark Vette, who works with his team of trainers to transform "death row canines" and problem pets into socialised members of the family. In this episode the focus is on Kaiser, a young German Shepherd who has been neglected by several owners. It's up to trainer Rosie Miles to socialise the stressed Kaiser and iron out his aggressive habits. Paris the French Bulldog is put through her paces before she's due on the set of an advert, and Vette helps an older couple pacify their scratchy 'show cat'. But it's Kaiser who proves the star pupil.

That first four months of a dog's life is the formative period, clearly he's had virtually no socialisation...
