“Now, if you’ve been watching Channel 5, you might have seen a few trailers for Dogs Behaving (Very) Badly because, if you haven’t heard the news, there’s some new episodes coming.

When does Dogs Behaving (Very) Badly start?
You don’t have long to wait, as Dogs Behaving (Very) Badly returns this weekend. Series 8 will pick up again on Sunday May 17, 2026. It starts at 8pm on Channel 5 and, as usual, is on for an hour.
Graeme will meet a Leonberger, who is not a fan of moving. The mutt weighs a whopping 15st and freezes when it is time to see the vet, or even go up stairs. And unfortunately, he is too huge for his owners to move manually!
Graeme also heads off to meet a Jack Russell called Archie, who rules the roost in his three-generational household. In fact, he’s making life quite unbearable for them all…
It’s great to have you back, Graeme. Dog owners need you!
