She's older though too. Almost 9, so she's not as great at chasing as she used to be since she's got bad jointsWell, my dog is decent around them (wants to sniff so badly she thinks it's killing her but won't actively chase if they run away screaming, just kinda pad after them) but she's experience birds in the house and has been walked around and in the coop on a very short leash (usually just me holding her collar)
