Over friendly dog

[CluckerFamily]

When he chases the chickens, are the chickens spread out more than usual? Are they in a certain spot that is too far from the coop so the dog tries to round the up better but the chickens run everywhere when the dog heads toward them?

No, I haven't. The thing is, 90% of the time, He doesn't ever care that they are there. his attacks happen extremely infrequently honestly, it's quite odd

Okay, you will need some expertise to use it correctly, I can make you a video on how to use it if you want! That is how we trained our dog, and once you get the hang of it, it is an amazing training source! I will have to post the video through convo though, because I can't do the youtube thing.

When he does tend to chase the chickens when they are farther away from the coop, yes.

All my dogs would herd my hens around if he got excited, I don't think the hens ever were truly scared of him , they'd come right back and share his bowl while he was eating. Unless you think he's actually going to catch on harm your chickens, I wouldn't be overly concerned

I personally love training collars. (Shock collars) They have beep and vibrate buttons so shocking is really only needed on extremely stubborn dogs or in the heat of a chase to get their attention. The strength of the shock is also adjustable so you don’t have to “hurt” them. Just get their attention.
I know lots of people are against them, but it’s all that’s worked for us. And very quickly. I only have one collar that I rotate on three dogs(high prey drives) As long as they can all hear the beep from the one wearing the collar I’ll have all their attention.
And now after a while of use my pup I was having the most trouble with completely ignores my birds, collar or no collar. It’s truly been a life saver considering previously he defeathered two of my guineas. One died because it was winter and it froze to death
I realize your dog isn’t as big of a problem as mine have been, but thought I’d throw that option out there.

In all do respect, but I disagree. I would never use a shock collar unless I had to, there are better way to train a dog, of course shocking them is easiest, but I would prefer to pick the harder path for my pup. Have you ever put the collar on yourself and shocked yourself, if I EVER had to use one, I would do that first. Anyway, we can have different opinions that is fine, just thought I would say my piece! @chickenlover007 I can get a video in a second here!
