The Secret Life of Puppies - Season 5

A labrador puppy gets training as an assistance dog, learning how to set up a wheelchair, press an automatic door button and unload a washing machine - but the hardest challenge may be resisting a biscuit. A group of tamaskan puppies enjoys a canoeing holiday on the waterways of East Anglia, two silken wolfhounds are put to the test in a race, and a weimaraner starts work as a therapy dog.

A four-month-old border collie gets carried away during a first taste of sheep herding, while two seven-month-old Siberian huskies undergo training for competitive sled racing in Gloucestershire - without any snow to be found. On a farm in Fife, a litter of springer spaniel-poodle crosses discover the world around them, while a city-dwelling dog savours a meal made to build muscle.

A rescue labrador is trained to track endangered newts and bats by smell so that they can be protected, while a group of Small Munsterlander puppies run away from their home to explore the sights and smells of the South Coast. Two cocker spaniels are trained to be gun dogs in the snow, and a litter of puppies in Fife learn to smell their way home.

Two puppies are trained to jump in and out of helicopters so they can work in the African bush, tracking down poachers hunting rhinos and elephants for their horns and ivory. In North Wales, a border collie puppy learns the basic skills of sheep herding, including judging distance and self-control, and a deaf dalmatian cross learns how to sense movement through the ground and air.

A deaf dalmatian moves into a new home, and befriends two other dogs that help him to find his way around. Two Siberian huskies join a team of dogs for the new sport of dryland dog sledding, in which they pull a sled on wheels across the Gloucestershire countryside. Two three-week-old Spinone puppies are taken under the wing of a kindly dachshund, and dogs join their human owners in pottery classes and on the dance floor.

A Chihuahua enters a fancy dress contest dressed as a warhorse, with a model knight on his back, and a troublesome terrier ends up sharing a home with an intimidating doberman. A Bernese Mountain puppy has to resist temptation during a visit to Norwich market, and a cury coated retriever takes a trip to a local loch to learn how to retrieve things from the water.

A labrador puppy goes overseas for the first time on a trip to the south of France, while a farm-dwelling Bavarian mountain hound puppy has an encounter with some much larger animals while exploring the stables. An Irish setter is taken on a boat expedition across the Norfolk Broads, and a timid border collie grows in confidence during a football game and a camping trip.
