I am having a problem.
My dog just got out and went after the ducks for the second time in a month, making her death toll 3 ducks dead, 3 injured.
I have a big problem and getting rid of the dog is not a possibility. She's always had a dead-solid "sit-wait" when the front door is open, but since she tasted her first she's trying to dart out anytime I don't have her on a lead.
What can I do? I know they use shock collars to teach hunting dogs not to approach rattlesnakes- can the same approach work towards breaking a hunting dog (Airedale terrier) of the prey drive?
Also, those of you who raised puppies to co-exist with poultry- how? We got a second dog last night- a 4 month old Standard Poodle. He's showing a lot of interest in the poultry but is young enough to correct and distract fairly easily.
