Landrace/adaptive breeding discussion

Yeah, no. Dogs have about a 2 1/2 second attention span.

They know why I’m doing it after the fact. But I think they associate it with me catching them in the act. If I can shock them remotely, they ought to fear the chickens instead of me. I want them to think the chicken is causing it.

I just zapped one puppy that was going after a momma hen as I stood in the kitchen and watched out the window. He bucked, looked around confused, then ran up to the porch and stared at the door. He then ran down to the pond and hid a few minutes (the pond is where they run to get away from me when I’m disciplining them).

My educated guess is he associates the feeling of a shock with me sneaking up behind him with a cattle prod. When he felt the shock this time he was confused because he assumed I must have snuck up on him and couldn’t figure out where I was.

A few more times of this and I think he’ll get the message.

Took a month with my 6 year old st Bernard mix.
