Cheryl Mockridge has owned Hair to Stay in Hastings Old Town for more than 20 years and has built a dedicated client base, but this was all put at risk by her ‘ferocious guard dog’ Baer.

Baer has been a familiar face in the window of the salon for four years, appearing deceivingly cute and cuddly to passers-by – until they approached and were scared away by his vicious barking.

Unsure what to do, Cheryl turned to Graeme Hall and the team at TV show Dogs Behaving (Very) Badly for help.
