I'd also love to know a solution, my mom found a puppy that someone had thrown out of a moving vehicle and abandoned in the middle of the night when there was no moon (it was an almost pitch black collie) and she has recently killed all my old chickens..
I got new chicks today, but even my old hens attacking the puppy didnt stop her from killing them later on, no amount of scolding would stop her either so.. Hopefully you find a solution to this problem as well x'3
All I have is time, I'm disabled and unable to work so my time is spent at home raising animals, I'm trying to train her but she's hard headed, though yes.. I'm willing to spend as much time as I have to in order to train this dog, I don't want her becoming like my other collie, who instead of being aggressive with my chickens decided mauling other dogs was a road she wanted to take.. I'm trying, I'm not sure how to do it but I want to, and have to. I'm not keen on losing any of these chicks I got today, I love them all already and theyre all docile breeds so I hope they wont kill each other as they age, the puppy is my first priority right now to train her. Her problem is being thick headed and not listening, I can use leashes I can use commands and nothing has worked so far, but there's options for this I'm sure.Is your dog allowed to free roam? Does it have any training? Are you willing to dedicate yourself to training it?
If you don't have the time or dedication to work on the dog then you need to either fence in the dog or the chickens while the other is out, period.
When an old cock fighter told Me this method, He said to leave it tied to the dogs neck untill it rots off. The dog is so sick of the smell of the chicken. No more killing. If the dog kills again then the dog has to be put down. I was told this by a cock fighter, one chickens is worth $100"s.you do realize that dogs LOVE dead things? they go out of their way to roll in them, chew on them, and carry them home.
This type of training, at best, means a dog that is too scared of chickens to go towards them. At worst, it is completely useless. It does nothing to teach a dog HOW to behave around chickens or what, exactly, is expected of him.
There are a lot of different training methods, depending on what you want to accomplish (guard? ignore?) but they all require actual effort on the part of the owner. Quick fixes like this are useless in the majority of cases.
Also, be careful because your dog could easily hang himself if the bird was to get caught on something.
