... Our 4 month old puppy (Australian Shepherd) has been very bad with chasing the chickens lately. I know, I know. Aussies are a herding breed and that's what they do. But Riley is being rough and will not stop. He has a few "issues" that we are trying to find a trainer to help us with, and one of those is not coming when called. He's got one of those personalities where he'll do it when he feels like it.
One of my BSL has a huge dislike for him -- does a rooster attack with her feathers puffed up and kicks hard with her feet. But not even that will phase him! All the positive reinforcement stuff has not worked... We have read so many books about puppy training. It's kind of like parenting... All these different methods and supposedly the newest one is the best and works better than the old ones. It's getting to be quite frustrating.
Is there anything we can do about it?? How can I get him to leave the chickens alone??
