debra morgan's blog: the first bad dog

    Tonight's the night!  During WRAL's 5:30 News for the next three Thursdays, we're going to profile a bad dog and see if we can turn him or her into a good dog!  We had so many great entries, it was tough to pick just three.  But we chose dogs who seemed to represent several other dogs with "issues."  You may see some problems you see in your own dog.  And, as I'm sure you know, training the family is just as important as training the dog.   Our first dog is Albie.  He's a Puggle with multiple bad behaviors such as barking (a lot!), going to the bathroom in the house, acting up in his kennel, chewing, and did I mention barking?!  But, by the end of the story, you can see some obvious improvement.  Once we profile all three dogs, we will revisit them in a fourth story to see if they've really gone from bad dogs to good ones.   This project really interests me since my two children have four legs.  Bailey is the black Lab and Harper is the yellow Lab.  This picture I've attached shows them when we first brought Harper home.  Bailey is now 7 and Harper is just one.  My husband has done an amazing job training them!  In fact, if you watch the Bad Dog! promo running on TV right now, you can spot Harper in the "O" and Bailey runs through the picture carrying a newspaper.  They'll do whatever my husband says so they were great to work with during the photo shoot.  I'm a proud mom!

   By the way, the trainer on this project, Jenny Marconyak with Bark Busters, is willing to answer your questions on this site so ask away!

My dog should be on TV, but she is AMAZING, so she can't be on this show...

look @ that baby....awwwwww

now that's what you call sweet!

way too cute to be bad..must be bad masters...

This is great. how sweet looking.

Debra - that is a very nice photo. Labs are just the greatest dogs (usually.)

Does Bark busters have a web site? I have a 6 month old coc ka poo that needs some training....

I cannot wait to see this tonite. Belle is my only barker. I think that a lot of this stems from lack of proper socialization when really young. She was about 16 wks when we got her, and the others have been with us from birth on. :) I'm really looking forward to watching tonite. :)

my dog is like a bull in a china store.i am looking forward to watching this

Love a lab! Can't wait for "Marley and Me" at Christmas.
