debra morgan's blog: bad dog mugsy

   Our third, and final dog (for now), in our Bad Dog! series is Mugsy who lives with the Santoro family in Cary.  This 5-year-old, 95-pound Boxer loves going for walks and meeting new "friends" along the way.  Problem is, he nearly pulls his walker's arm out of the socket to meet them!  Marj Santoro had to have major surgery to repair torn ligaments in her shoulder.   Her two athletic teenage boys don't even like to walk Mugsy.

   Jenny Marconyak from Bark Busters joins us to try to get Mugsy's leash-pulling under control.  The family learns several lessons to change their own behavior in order to help Mugsy improve his.  Watch tonight on WRAL's 5:30 News to see the progress!  If you can't catch us on TV, be sure to check out WRAL.com in the Bad Dog section for the story.

   By the way, for those of you interested, the folks at the Tar Heel Boxer Meetup Group wanted me to pass along a link to their web site if you'd like to learn more about Boxers or just make new friends.

   And how about this... A bad dog inspired two young girls from the Triangle to write their own song!  As always, feel free to ask questions about training issues or just share your comments. 
   Enjoy!

Reason # 984,216 why I have a cat.

I live near mugsy, he's a cute dog

I love Boxers.

i do too but cant have one cause they like to jump and clown, hence their name, boxers

i have had it with this blog...bad dogs....no bad owners who didnt take the time when the dog was a pup..not too young but around 4 months old to begin to the train the dog...looks like they are using a choker chain ...i hope they are using it right. the title should be ...people who didnt train their dogs.

There are no bad dogs, just bad owners. TRAIN YOUR DOG. I trained Aussies for years. It's not rokcet science.

I had a Boxer, and he was a wild child. Good thing he was such a cutie.

some dogs are like this cause of their genetic nature just like criminals right? =)

I keep telling my Basset she is just born bad. I do love her so, but she is a handful. Too cute.

( spelling IS rocket science though. My Bad)
