The idea is not to teach a dog to not kill chickens.
The idea is to make the dog adverse to being in close proximity to any chicken ever again.
If the dog won't get within chicken killing distance of chickens, then it can't kill chickens. Our ancestors were unconcerned with the dog's motivation, they just wanted results.
The idea is to modify the dogs behavior instead of teaching him a new Politically Correct way of behaving.
A shock collar works in the same fashion but it requires constant monitoring and certain things on the owners part are Verboten, like you need to put the collar and batteries on a day or two in advance of a training session. The idea being that affixing the shock collar or the chicken that the dog killed on its back is not associated with you. If it is you are only training the pooch to avoid you.
A dog, a coyote, or even the big bad wolf tucks its tail between its legs to protect certain tender tidbits of flesh located in this anatomical neither region. Never mind that every time that you've chewed your dog's butt out for bad behavior that you've never bitten him. Dog is just acting on a sufficiency of caution when it tucks its tail between its hind legs.
The wolf in this video holds off a pack of coyotes until the wolf is full of elk meat. The wolf tucks his tail every time he attacks or chases the coyote pack. I don't think that Mr Wolf is signaling his submissiveness to the coyotes because the wolf has plenty of opportunities to head to the tall timber, he is more likely being cautious because of the fact that wolves are not born with a second pair of eyeballs in the back of their head.
