Today, somehow, my EE got out of the run. My beloved dog killed her. I have read on here about a controversial training method, where you tie the dog next to, but not close enough to get the body. Everytime you go outside you "smack" the dog with the body. My dog is used to being indoors, so this would invovle me bringing her crate outside for a few days and "winterizing" it a bit. Does this even work? I've always known she could be a problem for them if she were to ever get in with them, thus their coop and run is very very very dog secure. The only thing I can think is that the EE flew to the top (12 foot tall) where the run isn't covered and got out that way. So that will have to be fixed. I would like to make it so she ( my dog) dosn't even want to look at them (the chickens) again. Is this training method ever effective? What are the cons? Thanks
