Iconic dog trainer Barbara Woodhouses' Harper Adams legacy lives on through her great-grandson

Few people have made a lasting impact on British television like Barbara Woodhouse, 

The iconic dog trainer who presented Training Dogs the Woodhouse Way, televised by the BBC in 1980, 

Prior to Barbara's success as a television personality, she studied at Harper Adams University, then Harper Adams Agricultural College, in 1927 as one of the first female students.

Almost one hundred years on, her Harper Adams legacy lives on through her great-grandson Rupert Houle, who is currently a second-year BSc (Hons) Agriculture with Crop Production Science student.

We caught up with three generations of the Woodhouse family - Barbara's daughter Judith, granddaughter Lucy and great-grandson Rupert, who visited us to learn more about what Barbara's time would have been like at Harper Adams.

We asked Lucy more about her grandmother's time at Harper Adams, she told us:

"Grammy always spoke very highly and fondly of Harper Adams college as it was then, but University as it is now, she studied here from 1927-1929 and she studied Agriculture with Dairy.

"I sort of believe that my grandmother Barbara was a real visionary in Agriculture because at such a young age for a woman to come and study Agriculture was extraordinary."

Rupert told us about his experience studying at Harper Adams University so far, he said:

"It's a very close knit community compared to other big universities, it's nice because you get to know people, you're more than just a face or a name,  you can talk to lecturers they're more than happy to help you.

"It's amazing to have my great grandmother that came in 1927 and I am here one hundred years later Agriculture again.

"Its brilliant to see that Harper is still doing it, teaching as well as it was back in 1927 and it's going from strength to strength."
