Just introducing myself. I'm an older SF is semi-self-sufficient, trying to make a go of it in Texas. I live on 6 acres and just got my girls 8 weeks ago (2 Buff Orphingtons, 2 Gold Sex-Links, 2 S-L Wydondottes, & 3 mystery birds which I am sure are cockerals). Built my own coop, thanks to my neighbor's roof & Hurricane Ike, with lots of wood & tin roofing left over for another project! (The back of my property is a hoarder's dream of building materials!)
My current project is to train my little terrier to leave the girls alone! He does okay for a few minutes, & then starts "tweaking"! And then he lunges, I don't know if I can break him of this! (Except maybe getting some geese
!)
These are the kids & that' s Marty. He never tried anything in the house & slept next to the tub, until they went out to the 'big' house....Now, he doesn't torment them at all except when I go out to check on them. But as I said, his instinct starts to kick in...
Any suggestions?
