Exactly! I will have Doggie boot camp going on in my house before they are ever allowed past the fence of the Chickens. I don't want scared chickens either so it'll be a delicate balance until I know all the pets are happy campers!
Poor little doggie!! Its funny how animals that shouldn't be able to scare a dog gets them spooked you know you have a baby doggie!! My two act like they are real babies when ever they get a chance and the cats I have usually put them in their place, so chickens will have the edge up on my Wahs...
