   Time to meet Riley!  He's the next dog in our Bad Dog! challenge tonight on WRAL's 5:30 News.   This Lhasapoo barks, bites, growls and steals out of the garbage one minute; then, he's sweet and playful the next!  His owner, Jordan, is a young, single Raleigh woman who has a hard time inviting company to her home because Riley attacks anyone who tries to get near her.  That hasn't been so good for Jordan's love life!   She's embarrassed by his behavior and scared to take him to family functions, not knowing if he'll bite anyone.       Jenny from Bark Busters worked with Jordan and her cousin, Sandy, for a few hours and had Riley changing many of his bad manners by the end of the session.  With patience, consistency, and a water bottle (you'll see in our story!), Jordan learned some techniques to make her the pack leader, not Riley.    Several people who entered this challenge raised the issue of aggressive dogs.  Hopefully, Riley's story will help you see there's hope for your dog, too!

never met a dog I couldn't make friends with. It might take hours of patience, quiet and just me and the dog in a room to ourselves with his water bowl at my side; but it is as simple as earning the dog's trust. The person has to allow the dog to approach them on their terms if the dog is truly viscious. If the dog is just "mis-managed", then the water bottle squirt will hurt his feelings but not his spirit.

I hope that you all got a chance to see the training session with Riley and all of his nasty behaviors. He has a big attitude - very overprotective! I'm happy to report that his behavior has improved already. Please let me know if you have any questions about the training and I will try to answer them.

Left hash that is....

look at the eyes-and the bandana! you can tell he's pure evil!!!

Nasty, sharp, pointy teeth. That's one evil rodent...

"he don't look so bad...."

Neither did the rabbit in the Monty Python movie, and it tore the dudes head off . . . It had fangs and every thing . . .

I've seen the trailers for the show but I don't get home early enough to watch the 5:30 p.m. news.

Poodles are mean. I was bit by one once.

He looks like he's got some poodle in him!

Cute though

he don't look so bad....
