debra morgan's blog: bad dog challenge 2

by Debra Morgan
Published Nov. 23, 2008

Just in time!
     Right before Thanksgiving, wouldn’t it be nice to stop your dog from jumping up on the company about to come through your door?

     We're going to teach you how to turn your bad dog into a good one as part of our Bad Dog! Challenge II.  This time we're trying a different approach.  We have three different trainers working with three different dogs.  The bad behaviors span from chasing cars, to growling and going to the bathroom in the house, to loving people too much when they come to visit.

       Thanks to our trainers for this Bad Dog! Challenge: Jenn Merritt with Blue Dog Creature Coaching, Donnie with Sylvie's K9 Solutions and Sharon Moll from PetSmart for volunteering their services.

     Starting Monday on WRAL's 5:30 news, we show you the techniques the trainers use to correct these problems.  It's amazing how fast these bad dogs can change into perfect angels!

My name is Jenn Merritt, of Blue Dog Creature Coaching, and I was the trainer featured in the first Bad Dog segment. I'd like to thank Debra Morgan for allowing me to participate. As you saw with Mali, we used gentle, effective reward based training methods that create lasting behavioral change, not just quick fixes. True, these methods take consistency and a little effort but they are family friendly and stress-free. To find a reward based trainer in your area, you can do a trainer search at www.apdt.com. This is the Association of Pet Dog Trainer website, the best place to find a family and dog friendly dog trainer.

Guess the 2x4 I've been using isn't the right way, huh?

Oh! And I also sharply say "Sit!" when I bring my knee up, and pat the dog on the head when he sits down.

God bless.

I trained black labs for years. I taught them not to jump by bringing my knee up firmly but not sharply into their chest whenever they jumped up.

You can also break them of this by pinching their toes when they do this.

God bless.

Rev. RB

If Val should ever nominate me for inclusion in this training show, she is just kidding. Really she is. No, really.

I don't have a dog, but I think some of my friends who do would be very interested in this. :)

Neighbor's dog and our dog are in love. We enjoy watching them interact. But, neighbors dog likes to dig up our plants and in our garden. Wife has to plant everything three times, it seems. Can you fix our neighbor's dog? He is a great dog. Just likes to dig. I'll try to watch the show for tips.

Debra, I knew about the earlier shows, but somehow still missed them. I'm concerned with agressions toward strangers. Was this ever covered? We don't have a lot of company, and my (large) dogs freak when someone comes to the door.
