One of my little girls preening my dog... TO FUNNY!!!!

Your dog is very sweet and tolerant

My girls used to do that to my male golden retriever - I always thought it must be because of his golden color, that they thought it was hay-like...lol.

She hasn't always been that way. It took a lot of time, scolding and consistency socializing all 3 of my dogs with the chickens. We started when they were just about 2 weeks old. Old enough for a little bit of excitement with out putting their health in danger but still young enough I could cup them in both hands for slow and protected introductions.

"Leave it" is such a wonderful command to teach a dog!! We also use "Back off" and "Be nice"... LOL... The heelers (I have two) are also very smart and with time and consistency they've become chicken friendly too, just not to this extent. I'm hoping for my next dog/chicken video I capture Bossy (pullet) and Gibbs (red heeler) in a chicken joisting match. Bossy wins every time because Gibbs knows he has to 'Be nice'... LOL

I'm SOOO glad we don't have to worry about fleas... <knock on wood> The chickens just simply seem to adore all my dogs. I've been socializing them all since the chicks were about 2 weeks old and am so glad I took the extra time to do so. I thought I was just training my dogs to be chicken friendly, but also ended up with chickens who are dog friendly.

Awe man a fleas are horrible down here.....I think frontline just makes em drunk lol
