If you missed Debra Morgan's first Bad Dog! segment, be sure to check it out. And don't miss the second installment of Bad Dog! TONIGHT at 5:30pm.
about bad dog
WRAL put out the call for a few bad dogs to train to be good dogs. We've chosen three and you can watch their stories and hopefully their transformations every Thursday during the 5:30pm newscast beginning July 10th. CBS's Greatest American Dog Challenge airs a few hours later at 8:00pm.
See all of the submissions here.
We'll meet here after every segment to discuss what happened and share our own stories about bad dogs.
Get ready!

Here are some suggestions that I share with my clients for calming an overly enthusiastic dog when company comes. First, make sure your dog has been exercised vigorously before the company arrives. Also, make sure your dog is somewhat hungry (just don't feed a meal just beforehand). Have the leash on before you open the door and immediately give your dog a "project" to work on while your guests settle in. This could be a Kong toy stuffed with a little peanut butter, kibble, and biscuits all packed into the Kong. By the time your dog is finished the project, their arousal level will have decreased. Give your guests some treats and have your dog practice sitting in exchange for a treat.
Hope this helps!
