CluckTwice4Yes
In the Brooder
This 100lb fur ball is our family dog, raised from a puppy (he and our oldest child are 6-months apart in age). He has the patience of a saint when it comes to small children and cats.
Chickens are new to him. The kids accidentally let him out with them twice. Once he frightened them, sticking his big nose in where they were dust-bathing under a tree. The second time I caught it early and ushered (verbally and hand signals, no grabbing necessary) him back into the house without incident.
Any advice on training the dog to ignore the chickens? Anyone else have both sharing a lawn? Thanks!
