"Celebrity Dog School" was an Australian reality series which aired on Network Ten. It was based on the original version, which aired in the UK. The show was hosted by Larry Emdur, who also hosted "The Price is Right" on the Nine Network, and "Wheel of Fortune" on the Seven Network. It was a Pett Productions format for BBC Worldwide, produced by Freehand Group Pty Limited.

The show involved six celebrities and their dogs given an obedience task, an agility task, and they must train them throughout the week. At the end of the week, they would perform these tasks in front of the other celebrities and the expert judges.

The viewers had the option to vote for their favourite celebrity and dog pair via text message, with the money going to the RSPCA.

Towards the end of the series, there was going to be a 'Grand Final Best in Show Spectacular' where they were to perform in front of a live audience. The most popular couple who were not eliminated would have won the 'Best in Series'.

After just 3 episodes, the show was put on hiatus with no sights in returning.

Celebrities

The six celebrities in the show included:

*Kim Watkins - Co-host of "9am with David and Kim" and host of "Saving Babies", which both air on Network Ten
*Robert 'Dipper' DiPierdomenico - AFL legend
*Ajay Rochester - Host of "The Biggest Loser", which also airs on Network Ten
*Adam Richard - Comedian
*Michael Bevan - Ex Australian Cricketer
*Bianca Dye - Nova 96.9 radio host

Expert Judges

The expert judges on "Celebrity Dog School" were Steve Austin, who is Australia's premier dog trainer, and Dr Julie Summerfield, who is a qualified veterinarian and is currently the resident vet in the program "9am with David and Kim".

Ratings

Since its premiere, "Celebrity Dog School" originally aired at 6:30pm Sundays, however, due to its last broadcasting at that time, it only reached an average of 545,000 viewers, causing it to move to an off-prime-time slot of 6:30pm Saturdays. ["Ratings Game: The Age" [http://www.theage.com.au/news/tv--radio/ratings-game/2007/03/06/1173166703781.html] Retrieved on 8 March, 2007] Its original time slot has been replaced with the first two seasons of "Thank God You're Here". AFL is now being shown in the Saturday timeslot and no attempt has been made to relocate the program.
