duck, duck, duck, duck ... dog (bichon frise)

[duckiesrule]

How do I tame the hunting instinct in my non-hunting dog?

My male bichon frise never had an inclination toward hunting before the ducklings arrived at our house.

Will it be better when the ducklings are full grown?

It won't get any better when they are adults. You must start enforcing the proper commands to prevent any accidents. I am a strong believer that any dog with properly trained to leave poultry alone. I have high content wolves with very high prey drives that have been trained to ignore the birds. I would suggest posting a thread in the Other Pets and Livestock section asking for some training advice. Watchdogps, Dainerra, and Jamiethedogtrainer can give you excellent advice.
