Martin Rütter Rebukes Colleague on VOX Puppy Show Over Layla’s Handling

The on‑air dispute comes in a new episode revisiting Layla’s home after the owners failed to apply agreed measures.

Overview

  • In the latest episode of Die Welpen kommen, Rütter said a handling sequence with Golden Retriever Layla “has nothing to do with training.”
  • Trainer Melle Hofmann praised the owners’ efforts and called the scene “really good,” which Rütter countered as praise at the wrong moment.
  • Owners Matthias and Marwin could recall the plan only vaguely, and the agreed house‑leash for visitor greetings was not used.
  • Rütter reacted sharply when Layla was dragged to her blanket and pushed into position, calling the approach intolerable.
  • Layla still showed pushy behavior at the door and during feeding, with only limited improvement; the show airs Tuesdays on VOX and streams on RTL+.
