EBS1TV on the 29th (Friday) at 10:50 p.m. [세상에 나쁜 개는 없다]The episode ‘Outlaw of the Horse Riding Club, Shepherd Rex’ is broadcast.
There is a shepherd who disrupts the peace at a horse riding range where a large family of 25 animals lives? Yugyeong Lee said she started raising horses in her hometown due to memories of spending time with horses in Sydney as a child. Now I am living my second life with various animals, including dogs, cats, guinea pigs, and sugar gliders. I thought there would be only peace, but I am deeply worried about Rex, the shepherd I brought in 7 years ago. Rex, who was a village wanderer, coudl not be sent to a shelter, so they became family, but after a fight with a wild dog, Rex’s aggression began. It got to the point where it was out of control, biting and killing cats and even threatening horses and other shepherds. the guardian had no choice but to confine Rex, who was running around in the vast horse riding range, to a dog cage. Rex is 8 years old. I wish I could get out of the silk pen and live peacefully with the animal family at the riding range like before… Is there a way for Rex, who was gentle in the past, to regain happiness?
Rex, an 8-year-old shepherd with a dignified appearance! What is the story of how you ended up in a small room at the horseback riding club?
Yu-kyung, the guardian who resembles Heidi, a self-proclaimed Alps girl at the horseback riding club. He is responsible for feeding his family of 25 animals, and spends most of his time running around and playing with his shepherds, ruby and Rocket, on his spacious farm. Rex has to watch this from inside the silk room. Rex, who went from being a wandering abandoned dog in the village to being the owner of a horseback riding club and getting along well with animals, ended up going into a dog shelter after several killings. The problem is that Happy, a retriever mix dog from the same abandoned family, is also taking after Rex’s aggressiveness. Jun-beom, the son of the guardian who has been with rex as he was a child, is said to be growing increasingly distant from Rex… Also, because of his aggression towards other dogs, it is not easy for him to go for a walk! Rex turns into a perilous dog the moment he comes out of the kennel! Is there any way to get along well with other friends?
Ruby, a shepherd looking for a hiding place due to the stress of parenting, and even a guy who won’t move from his step stool?
Ruby, a three-year-old shepherd who gave birth to a baby boy seven months ago. But these days, I started looking for a space of my own. Could it be because of parenting stress? Four of them were adopted, but they live together with the eldest Rocket, never being separated from them. Rocket even leaves it to his mom to clean up after urinating(?).Did you feel sick of the daily routine of being hit by a child? Yu-kyung says she feels sad because she can see Ruby’s patience. Yu-kyung has another thing to worry about. As soon as you enter the house, it is indeed a spot that becomes a stone on the steps.Four years ago, Spot, who was a stray dog like Rex, became a family, but he still refuses to leave his guardian… It’s about to be cold winter, and I wish he could stay warm at home, but Spot won’t move for hours on the step. No snacks, no cajoling, no methods work.The guardian’s concern deepens as the child sleeps in the yard instead of entering the house in the yard.
A paradise on a hill just for Rex! Easy walking method taught by teacher Seol!
She goes for a walk fully prepared, including a double leash, a gentleman leader, and a muzzle, but Yu-kyung is not enough to control Rex on her own. In particular, it is almost impossible to stop Rex from attacking other animals by surprise. But I can’t give up like this! Teacher Seol sets out to help Rex live a free life outside! A solution that made Rex,who was frowning the whole time,smile,as well as a walking magic that allows him to roll around rather of using a tight rope! the story of the members of the horse riding club that will become a peaceful paradise on earth with Rex’s solution to make the remaining dogs happy,’The Outlaw of the Horse Riding Club,shepherd Rex’ will be broadcast on EBS 1TV at 10:50 pm on Friday,November 29,2024. you can check it here.

How can pet owners effectively communicate with their dogs to address behavioral problems?
Interview: Time.news Editor and Animal Behavior Expert
Time.news Editor: Welcome, Dr. Kim! Thank you for joining us today to discuss the upcoming episode of EBS1TV’s program [세상에 나쁜 개는 없다] which translates to “There are no bad dogs in the world.” the episode centers around Rex, a shepherd with behavioral issues. Can you share your initial thoughts on Rex’s situation?
Dr. Kim: Thank you for having me! Rex’s story is a engaging case that highlights the complexities of canine behavior. It’s important to remember that dogs like Rex often act out due to their environment, past traumas, or specific stimuli rather than an inherent “bad” nature. His aggression is likely a response to insecurity or fear rather than an aggressive persona.
Editor: Absolutely. In the article, we learn that Rex was a village wanderer before being adopted. What role do you think Rex’s past life played in his current behavior?
Dr. Kim: Rex’s history as a village wanderer means he may not have experienced the same socialization as other dogs. Dogs that have had limited exposure to different animals and people might develop fear-based reactions. When he’s confronted with unfamiliar situations—like the presence of the wild dog or the overall chaos in the horse riding range—he may respond defensively.
Editor: that makes sense. The article mentions Rex’s aggressive incidents that led to him being confined.what are some strategies that could help improve Rex’s behavior moving forward?
Dr. kim: A multifaceted approach is critical. First, establishing a sense of security is crucial.This can involve creating a safe space for Rex where he feels less threatened. Second, gradual desensitization to the stimuli causing his aggression—such as other animals or certain sounds—can help. Positive reinforcement training will also be beneficial for teaching him appropriate behaviors, rewarding him when he remains calm in situations that previously triggered aggression.
Editor: It sounds like a combination of patience and professional help is essential. In the show, we see Rex’s guardian feeling helpless. What can pet owners in similar situations do when they feel overwhelmed?
Dr. Kim: It’s important for owners to recognize they’re not alone and to seek professional guidance. Connecting with a certified animal behaviorist or a trainer who understands positive reinforcement techniques can make a world of difference. They can assess the situation and provide tailored strategies. Furthermore,joining support groups can help owners share experiences and find encouragement.
Editor: That’s solid advice, dr. Kim.Lastly, the title of the show emphasizes that there are “no bad dogs.” How can we as a society work towards better understanding and supporting animals like rex?
Dr. Kim: Education is key.We need to focus on educating dog owners and the general public about canine behavior, empathy towards animals, and responsible pet ownership. Promoting awareness of the circumstances that lead to behavioral issues can foster a more compassionate society. Programs like [세상에 나쁜 개는 없다] play a vital role in this by showcasing personal stories and emphasizing a humane approach to animal care.
Editor: Thank you so much for your insights, Dr. Kim! Rex’s situation provides a valuable lesson in compassion and understanding. We hope that viewers of the show will not only empathize with Rex but also recognize the importance of responsible pet ownership.
Dr. Kim: Thank you for having me. I hope the episode inspires positive change in how we perceive and treat our furry companions!
