Well I have had to rehome a dog because it was a chicken killer. Her parents were great, caught one of them with a chicken so what we did was tie the chicken around the dogs neck so he could not get it off and left it there for a week or so. The dog did not want to have anything to do with the chickens after that. Another dog we had got beat with the chicken she killed for several weeks. Kinda gross and may seem mean but she learned. The dog I had to rehome, non of that worked so I made sure she went to a home with no poultry. By the way these were all Pyrenees.
A friend was telling me about some guy called the "Dog Wisperer" and he is supposed to be able to break habits but I was sick of this dog by the time I found out I just made sure she had a good home. Don't know if any of this helps.

I enjoy rabbit shows. Please let me know when it is scheduled.
It will be May 15th or 29th (tenitive). They are checking with another club to see if they want to join ours to make it a double (somehow that makes is a quad???) The initials are ARBA. I will let you know more when I do.
If you travel this far you have to bring honey! LOL.
The shows that are in Duncan are triple shows, with one show on Friday night and two shows on Saturday. ARBA stands for American Rabbit Breeder's Association. And of course, if I get to attend your rabbit show I will definately bring honey.

There was a really good article on training dogs with chickens a few weeks ago. I will try and find it for you. For the time being, you should assume the dog isn't trustworthy around the birds and not let him near them unsupervised. I have a Great Pyraneese that I obtained as an adult. She sleeps in the chicken coop and I have never had any problems with her chasing chickens. A Great Pyraneese I acquired as a puppy had to be rehomed to a non-poultry home after he got too excited when rounding up the chickens and started licking them to death.
A lab has instincts to retrieve birds so the dog has some internal conflict between the guardian nature of a Great Pyraneese and the bird retrieval instincts of a Labrador.
much appreciated i hate to rehome the old man and im afraid if i put him on a shock collar he will die, that with it being wet im afraid it will shock them all day. well it is a invisible fence with shock collar and im waiting for the snow to go away. i know it works and we put it around the barn and run and it has a 12ft shock on both sides and it is 13 ft to the barn now if he get past the 24 ft i guess he can have them. as i free range my birds and the go to the barn in the evening but we got the fence put in maybe and hour before all the ice came through. and not for sure how the wetness going to act with collars, it says the are waterproof but ice and water make a good conductor

I always learn from you! They plan for this to be a Sat/Sun show. Then how would this be a quad?? Maybe I misunderstood (wouldn't be the first time).

One club would sponsor two shows and one club would sponsor two shows - I think that is what makes it a quad. Since folks are already there, it is just as easy to show your rabbits 4 times as it is to show them twice. Of course, since it is an ARBA sanctioned show, the exhibitors get "points" for each show in which they place. For kids trying to get points toward a scholarship, it can really help to get double the opportunities in the same location and timeframe.

I'm excited. Tomorrow we go to pick out our new puppy.
It will take three years for it to be considered an adult and able to work on it's own and hopefully it will take minimal training on our part. From all that I have read about the Komondor though it should be worth it.

I'd thought about a Komondor... but the nature of the coat makes it appear to be matted (which, well, they are matted, on purpose... the fur is dreadlocked). One of my neighbors would be constantly calling saying I was neglecting the dog. I am dead serious.
