Husky dog and poultry, slaughtered chicken

[thepick4uchicks]

I know all this. A long time ago. The chickens are in their garden and the dog is next. There is a regular fence and an electric fence between the dog and the chickens - now for several days. Since I've already written which wild animals live in our neighborhood, the husky will keep them away. We also have hawks and eagles, a threat from the sky. As long as the dogs are outside, no one has attacked our chickens. This has never happened for over 3 years. As for the husky character and he doesn't respect me - I disagree. Sorry. I dictate: "dog owner for 40+ years... " I am 51 y. human, I make mistakes. Homo sapiens- and I belong to the group of animals - animalia. Unfortunately, man is not the king of this planet for me, nature is.

God is King of my planet.

I agree with trying to figure out psychologically and the root cause of the problem etc. but even so it’s still possible to train and there are lots of great videos on YouTube that try to fix things that way. I like Kikipup a lot and also Training Positive and Simpawtico dog training. Though idk if the last two have videos specifically on resource guarding (kikopup and Zak George do) but they’re good trainers. There’s a lot of other resource guarding videos on there too but idk if they’re all good.

ETA: Oh and counter conditioning is a common and useful technique I think for this. Changing their brain chemistry and emotions to be excited or whatever when you approach instead of aggressive because something positive is going to happen instead of whatever they think. Sure there’s videos and articles on that too.

I will looking for all possible videos and tutorials. There is no other question. but I don't break the character of my dog, that's for sure.

This isn’t a religious discussion. I think the OP would appreciate it if you don’t accidentally start a big debate about God. Thanks.

It’s not breaking his character by teaching him what’s acceptable or not. And I would say snarling at you should not be acceptable. It’s not “part of his character.” Hes just being disrespectful and dangerous. And trust me, he won’t miss doing that especially if you say he was sorry about it afterwards.

It’s totally you’re decision if you want to own a dog that is in control of you. If you want a wild animal go to the woods and forests. Attempting to keep a domesticated animal that is unpredictable or wild in your view is both irresponsible and silly.
I don’t particularly care one way or the other. If you want to allow your dog to do whatever it wants and kill your chickens be my guest.

I agree. However, I do not think the OP is just letting their dog kill birds. But I also think they are not being very careful, or caring too much.

This might be a gross sugestion but few people tie dead chicken pieces on the collar of a dog and the dog can get sick of the smell and stop attacking the chickens. I don't know if this is legal though or really effective. Other people that are reading this thread is it? If it is and there is no alternatives, then for the sake of the living chicken you might have to stomach this.

My BF's dad, back in the day (60's & 70's) would beat the dog with said dead chicken & then tie it to his collar. So tying it to him may help! Sorry for your loss.

Here is a picture of my beloved dog with a dead chicken.
I myself have trained my dog and protected chickens. He killed the first one when he was young. It's been 2 years and he killed the next one today. We know what a husky is, and how difficult it is to raise this breed. The question is whether we ignore the dog until he releases the dead chicken or what we need to do. Is it right to leave him out for the night? Because at the moment I can't take the dog into the room, he has lost my confidence. Sorry my english language.

Your problem with the dog is that it thinks he is the Alpha not you. You MUST get the dead chicken away from the dog and establish your dominance.
