    How did YOU train your dog to leave chickens alone?

    Kaitbray, Yep the basic training method you quoted should work with most any dog. It has work for us with a pack 5 dogs and some very excitable puppies. And, heck we have been doing this for a really long time with many different dogs. Honestly the training is really just straightforward dog...

    How did YOU train your dog to leave chickens alone?

    It's my understanding that dogs "imprint" on their pack at a very early age and then, really, never again. This "imprinting" sets the dog up for the rest of her life which is why it's important to socialize the dog with people and other pets at a very young age. In regards to chickens, I...

    fowl farm, I’m reading a new dog book and came across a description of early puppy hierarchy development. I thought these snippets were interesting relative your puppy issues: “Animals and children do have a strong tendency to assert their dominance, and it has been suggested that through...

    Leash training

    We all get so feisty. Fly2006 I don't think there's anything wrong with how you trained your dogs. But, it does seems to be more trouble than it's worth. My point is simple. There's a natural order of things. Understanding the order and respecting it brings harmony to the human/doggy...
