..so I'm putting it here. Will move if there is a better spot for it.
We just got a fairly young dog. She is a Lab / American Bulldog mix. So far she has been "pretty good" around the chickens. My son and I have started out walking her past the chickens while she is on a leash. Today for the first time we were able to walk her by the chickens without her being on a leash. She understands and obeys the command "stop," so even though she WANTS to chase the chooks she stops when we command her to do so.
My question: does anyone have some advice on training her to be around the chickens all day long without supervision?
Thanks for any insight you may have.
