If it were me, I would consider rehoming the dog. Has this been solved?

We have fifty acres, they really are amazing dogs. My story was different, we were given two LGD’s and they are three years old, and it was definitely an experience.....all user errors. We’ve had them now for about three months. So we are learning and making sure we stay on top of it and the training has helped.I wished I had enough land and livestock to warrant a Livestock Guardian Dog. I love the idea!
Hi! Topic situation has not changed. My problem was (not the chicken) but the dog. If I wanted to cry behind a chicken, I would write in another forum.More like "kill a dog because he is a threat to a person."
The original question was about the dog guarding a dead chicken--showing teeth, refusing to come when called, etc. The dog was defending against his owner, not against a stranger.
The situation has since changed.
I think it was recognized all along that one solution to chicken-killing is a fence. The owner has a fence, the dog got out of the fence, of course the owner will fix the fence. (People also made various suggestions about training, of course--it's been a long thread.)
Hi! Please explain to me what is rehoming?If it were me, I would consider rehoming the dog. Has this been solved?
Yes it definitely is! Especially with how goofy and happy he was and watching him go downhillIt’s so difficult. I have been there many times with dogs and cats. At least they knew they were loved!

Still not a reason to kill a dog IMO. Resource guarding is a very fixable issue.More like "kill a dog because he is a threat to a person."

I see you have resolved the issue. I disagreed with ‘put him down’ very much, and I’m glad this wasn’t considered. He sounds like a good boy. I hope you can teach him not to kill birds.Finding him another place to live.
This would not be my first choice. But, the dog is showing aggression to you, it is killing your birds, and it refuses to listen. For me, that isn’t acceptable behavior. Trying to train him better would be my first choice, but...![]()

Do you do this with your family members? Maybe I should turn your attention to where I live? Today, children are not sent to private schools in Europe either. Those times are over. Sorry, don't want to offend.Finding him another place to live.
