Another Great Pyr question or two

She's still a puppy until she's about 2 years old.

The EASIEST way to stop that behavior is with a shock collar.
They will associate the shock with the chicken and not you,
and will learn to NEVER touch a chicken again

I agree with that, but didn't post it because some people are angry when you suggest an E-collar for training.

With that much land, I would suggest two. I have heard of coyotes and such playing the dog to get to livestock. ex. one or more will distract the dog away from the livestock while others go in for the kill. It would be much harder for them to do that with two.
