    New Dog

    We got an LGD Pyr as a pup and he did awesome with the chicks until our old blind/deaf Catahoula (who hasn't ever attacked a chicken) went off one day on a hen and killed her then ATE her.

    My dogs plucked my hen!!!

    UPDATE: I couldn't stand it. I put her down. The dogs haven't responded to reinforcement training. They are only 4-5 months old...I do not want to give up on them yet. What other training methods have worked for you?

    My dogs plucked my hen!!!

    This is the first time they have touched her...one pup did perhaps have her cornered once but I actually thought she was just stuck behind her mirror and he was barking to alert me of it. We have 5 dogs and they sleep under whatever the chickens are sleeping under...never touched, chased, or...
