Three dogs took part in our Bad Dog Challenge II. Each had a chance to work with a trainer for a variety of bad behaviors. After a few of months of practice, the dogs have made a lot of progress.
In November, WRAL News chose three dogs to work with a trainer. This week, we revisited the "Bad Dogs" to see if the training did away with their bad behaviors.
Mali, a Sheltie, learned to relax.
BooBoo, a Yorkie, learned to not growl at people.
Charlie, an extreme greeter, learned to chill out.
Charlie, a 60-pound Basset Hound/Lab/Shepherd mix is lovable ball of fur. The problem is, he loves too much. He jumps, whines and tries to get as close to a new person as possible.
