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!

:) I nominated Belle for this last week. I'm glad I'm not the only one with a barker! (I have a chewer, too, but the barking is much worse!)

Well Jules, we'll see the results soon enough!! -Angela

My dogs are good, but I am looking forward to seeing this.

And has anyone noticed that they all have just the sweetest faces and none of them look like they have a "bad" bone in their bodies. :)

There are no "bad dogs" just bad owners! Dogs want respect, trainng and much love and compassion for who they are. They give unconditional love and why can't we love our pets for who they are. Remember...a "bad dog" is an unhappy dog!.

Enjoyed the entrant's pics... some look the part!

I sure wish someone would take on the problem of dogs afraid of storms. My sweetie is terrified, absolutely, and it just breaks my heart.

The first mistake of new dog owners especially puppies is they all think they are too young to be trained. This is a myth! New puppies should be trained immediately upon getting to the home. I trained a cocker spaniel puppy to ring a bell to go outside within 2 weeks. She also learned to sit, stay, lay, and come during that period not only with voice commands but also hand signals for each. The earlier you can start training the better the puppy will respond. Dogs take a lot of time, if you don't have the time DO NOT get a dog! As a Pet sitter I run across many dogs that have no matters because the owners did nothing to teach them the limits they have. I have also run across the best behaved dogs because the owner took the time to train. This includes older rescue dogs not just puppies.

Hi, this sounds like it should be fun. I hope some experienced dog trainers will join the list. One thing I think people forget is that dogs are pack animals so if they have to be alone all day it's pretty tough on them. Also some of the things we don't like are normal dog behaviors,like digging and tearing things up,that dogs use to relieve stress. Ususally though most things can be worked out with a combination of training and management but both the dogs AND the owners have to learn new behaviors.

I wish I would've gotten our pack entered as "bad dogs"! We have a Rottie, two Lab Pits and a Hound/Terrier puppy. Our whole family adores them and we often find ourselves squeezing into the "left over" parts of the bed to go to sleep at night. Our dogs are good but each has their quirks, such as getting overly excited when people come to the house, stealing toys from each other, eating dirt, etc. We have one that is scared silly during thunderstorms and one that is scared of the fly swatter (even though nobody in this house would ever dare to hit any of our dogs with anything)...I could go on and on and we could really use a professional coming in and training us humans! Cause we all know these things are not the dogs fault! Can't wait to watch the show!

Oh dear. I have all of you beat on this. He's no longer with us- poor soul, grief took him (his long time buddy went, and he grieved himelf to his end), but our old border collie/chow Buster was the terror of the neighborhood. Dogs would come into our yard (electrically fenced, no less) to play. Buster left only their heads. He loved humans (would never bite a stranger, only lick) and his buddy Freckles (the cocker spaniel we had that passed from age), but was so territorial and protective....

Not a story. Absolutely true. Now THAT is a bad dog.
