Dogs Behaving Very Badly star Graeme Hall’s former career before TV fame

TV star Graeme Hall, affectionately known as the Dogfather, is back on our screens with the latest series of Channel 5’s Dogs Behaving (Very) Badly. Since his show first aired in 2017, the 59-year-old has helped dog owners deal with their misbehaving pets and strengthen their bond.
He even has an Australian spin-off on Channel 5 and presented The Dog Hospital, offering a glimpse into one of the UK’s top veterinary centres, Willows. However, Graeme worked for cereal giant Weetabix for a vastly different career before becoming a master dog trainer.
Born and raised in Selby, Yorkshire, he attended the University of Hull in the 1980s and joined Weetabix as a graduate trainee.
Yorkshire Live reports how over 21 years, he climbed the ranks to become an executive and Operations Manager, overseeing a team of over 200 people.
In 2007, Graeme took redundancy from his senior role at Weetabix, intending to take a short break before becoming a management consultant. However, his love for dogs and experience training his two Rottweilers, Axel and Gordon, led him down a different path.
“I began training my two Rottweilers,” he said. Then, in response to a question from a dog training company, “Why don’t you become a dog trainer?”
” ‘ I said, ‘ Why? ‘ “”. He said, ‘ Because you’re good with people’. That’s what drew me in, as he said it combines being good with dogs and being good with people.
Graeme Hall, known as The Dogfather, started his own professional canine training business in 2008.

Since then, he has earned a reputation high enough to appear on BBC Breakfast, This Morning, Jeremy Vine, Celebrity Mastermind, and Christmas University Challenge with his expertise. Since starting his business venture, Hall has trained more than 5,000 dogs.
According to his website, those who want to hire his services can expect to pay no more than £875 for them. Currently, however, he’s not accepting new bookings, due to filming commitments for Dogs Behaving (Very) Badly.
Every Tuesday at 8 p.m. on Channel 5, new episodes of Dogs Behaving (Very) Badly air.
