Hey all!
So, today I rescued a dog from the local animal shelter. He passed all normal tests with flying colors, he’s awesome with everything EXCEPT things that are feathered. (Just to clarify, he hasn’t hurt/killed a chicken YET, however i’m 100% sure he would). Normally I wouldn’t be concerned because our chickens are on a regular basis untouchable. However my neighbors chicken are completely free range. We let our chickens out for a few hours everyday to scratch around and eat bugs, at which time I for now will have to keep my new pupper inside. That being said I REALLY, really, really want to train him to be cool with my/ my neihbors feathered friends. I’ve spent hours looking on the internet for training tips and plan to also consult a professional behavioralist but, I figured it couldn’t hurt to see what you wonderful chicken lovers have to say; whether it be personal experience or simply a trick of the trade that you’ve heard of that works. Hit me with your best people!
Thanks in advance!
