Format
The show involved six celebrities and their dogs given an obedience task, an agility task, and they must train them throughout the week. At the end of the week, they would perform these tasks in front of the other celebrities and the expert judges.[2]
Home viewers had the option to vote for their favourite celebrity and dog pair via text message, with proceeds from each vote going to the RSPCA.
Towards the end of the series, there was to be a 'Grand Final Best in Show Spectacular' where they were to perform in front of a live audience. The most popular couple who was not eliminated would have won the 'Best in Series'. Bootsie scored a perfect score from all three judges; sadly, no such thing happened. After only three episodes, Network Ten placed the show in 'hiatus', and it ended up never returning.
Celebrities
The six celebrities in the show included:
- Kim Watkins – Co-host of 9am with David and Kim and host of Saving Babies, which both aired on Network Ten
- Robert 'Dipper' DiPierdomenico – AFL legend
- Ajay Rochester – Host of The Biggest Loser, which also aired on Network Ten
- Adam Richard – Comedian
- Michael Bevan – Ex Australian Cricketer

Expert Judges
The expert judges on Celebrity Dog School were Steve Austin, who is Australia's premier dog trainer, and Dr Julie Summerfield, who is a qualified veterinarian and is currently the resident vet in the program 9am with David and Kim.
