Training Dogs the Woodhouse Way is a British television series presented by Barbara Woodhouse first shown by the BBC in 1980.[1] It was taped in 10 episodes at Woodhouse's home in Hertfordshire, England.[2] The show was also internationally syndicated.[3]
In the show she often used two commands: "walkies" and "sit"; the latter of which was parodied in the 1983 James Bond film Octopussy where James Bond does a Woodhouse impersonation, puts his hand up in a command posture, repeats Woodhouse's catch-phrase to a tiger and the animal responds to it by obeying.[4] Her ten-part series had been shown at over one hundred stations in the United States and in Britain it proved so popular it was run twice.[5] In 1982, singer-songwriter Randy Edelman wrote a song about her and her show, "Barbara (The Woodhouse Way)", which he released in a single 45 rpm record.[6][7]
