HAVE YOU bitten off more than you can chew with your four-legged friend's behaviour?

Channel 4 is looking for dog owners in the Dorset area who are struggling to keep their canine pals in line to take part in a brand-new prime time television series.

The Dog Academy is all about misbehaving dogs and their owners and the show has assembled a team of the very best trainers in Britain to help owners transform their pets once and for all.

The series will be filmed later this year, but producers would love to start hearing from people as soon as possible.

If you want some help training your problematic pooch, email dogacademy@fivemilefilms.co.uk for the chance to appear.

TV company Five Mile Films are also behind the established Channel 4 series The Dog House.
