Waffle the Wonder Dog - Gr 1-3 Health
Episode 8 - Training Waffle
Evie, Doug, Jess and Gramps take Waffle to his first puppy training class while Simon cleans the house and frantically looks for his missing sock. The family tell Waffle he mustn't speak during the class. Not only is it unheard of for a dog to be able to talk but he also needs to listen carefully and pay attention to the dog trainer. After a rocky start which leaves poor Jess sliding across the floor, the family discover that Waffle responds best when offered Simon's favourite sock to smell - how did it get into Jess's bag? .... Waffle!
Waffle starts to react to all of the dog training commands perfectly until his mischievous side takes over and he miaows like a cat, causing chaos amongst the other dogs. The puppy training class comes to an abrupt end! Oh, Waffle!
Back home, Evie, Doug and Jess find that Simon has turned the house upside down looking for his missing sock. Jess reveals that Waffle had hidden it in her bag all along. Simon is not impressed but that soon changes when Waffle shows off what he's learnt in class by sitting, lying down on command.... and miaowing! He's such a clever dog. As the Brooklyn-Bells praise Waffle, he darts out of the house to see George and brings back Mrs Hobbs' slipper from next door. Naughty Waffle. Jess successfully prizes the slipper away from Waffle using the smelly sock as a reward but meanwhile, Simon is stuck in the dog flap!
