A video tutorial of my journey of training my Flat coated Retriever cross to be calm around my chickens. To get control, you don’t need to intimidate or get physical with the dog, it’s done through habituation and training. Time will depend on the intensity of the dog and previous obedience training.

When you picked up the chicken and she cheeped I had ptsd ?
Hi Kristin, I'm dreaming about having some chickens in my garden, but always ruled it out because we have a cockapoo (small size). Although she is very gentle with our pet bird, we don't leave them unsupervised. You have given me hope. My Belle is pretty obedient and she understands the word gentle. Starting to dream of having chickens again… Thank you.
WOW, does it work on puppies?
Thank you soooo much ? my dogs small but he has gotten into the chicken coop twice somehow and barks at them. I’m about to go on study leave and then after that it’s the holidays so I will have heeps of time to try this. Throughout the days if week one u can every so often let my dog look at them and so on. Again thank you so much I really believe in this video and that it will work.
Thank you for video! I have a dog and four day old chicks and ducklings. Immediately I am introducing them. I wasn't sure if I was doing it correctly, this video shows I'm doing it right!
Thank you for this!! I’m getting chicks ? soon!!!!!
Great video. There are so many points where |I was just thinking, Oh my god! This is gonna be a bloodbath!. Well done.
Wow super helpful video!! Thanks a lot
Hes not eating grass hes eating chicken shit like all dogs do
OMG THXXXX
Any tips for doing this with adult chooks?
Is Mookey a Hovawart breed dog?
You can basically use this with all animals and children as well? I have a sighthound mix and I trained him with all farm animals as a pup. Only running hare are still a problem. Any tips?
My dog already new not to attack my ducks and chicken idk how but he loves them even tho the ducks bite him in the nose while drinking there pool water
what if ur dog has already killed 2 chickens?
Are there professional animal psychologists? Are you one?
Great vid I have a slightly differnt issue tho my dog is scared to death of my 8 week old chicks lol stay well back and just barks none stop if I try take her closer she panics n bolts Any suggestions
What we did is put the dog in the chicken pen when he was a puppy, everyday for most of his puppy-hood. They messed with each other but by the time sheba was full grown it was 2nd nature and now they play together…chickens eat out of his bowl. He even protects them.
My dog just play with the chickens but my dog play to dangerous so for accident my dog bite them
I don’t have chickens or dogs but I really enjoyed this video. This lady knows what she’s doing and she’s very kind. Thomas up.
As an owner of both dogs and chickens ??I can tell you your dogs not eating grass ?Hes picking up little chicken treats off the ground?
This is a fantastic video. I saw another really terrible training video where someone rubbed the chicken on the dog as their primary method and it was so unbelievably stupid I couldn't believe it. Thank you so much for taking the time to post something that's actually intelligent and educational and WORKS.
Excellent video!! How old were your dogs when you started training them?
Haven't you ever watched Foghorn Leghorn?? Dogs and chicken cannot coexist!!
I have chickens and they are like 9 months old and i am going to buy a puppy how can i train the puppy and the chikens to dont attack the puppy
The only thing I allow my dog to kill is flies. He just bites down on them and swallows them when they fly around. I thought him real good that the chickens are boss here and he can't mop my face with his tongue.
Would this work for my Shiba Inu mix? He is normally good boy but I got chicks 6 weeks ago and he has "accidentally" killed 2 since I got them, I think both just trying to play. I am worried and sad!
Well this work for turkeys?
Great video ⭐
Is it weird that my dog was accidentally left outside with my chickens my dog didn’t eat any of my chickens and liked my chickens but he try’s to eat rabbits, other birds,and squirrels
Wow, you are good. Long time though, serious attention. I doubt my Irish setter and I both don't have such calm patience. Thanks though – I know now I'll have to pass on the birds. Thanks for a very good video.
hi
Really great video. My dog does fine unless she knows we aren’t home. I am at the point I’m going to have to put her on a tie out or a Hotwire around the coop while we are out because she will kill them if we aren’t home.
How the heck do you do this when you have 4 dogs? We will be getting chickens at some point and none of our dogs have ever seen chickens before.
I have adult chickens. Will that still work?
Can this work if my dog is used to eating raw chickens!? And I noticed that she drools when near chicks
My dog wouldn't be calm. My dog just wants to kill every chicken he says.
My landlord is going to raise ducks and I have a German shorthair who hunts birds, do you think this could still work?
would he still go after anything that is not chicken and does not belong there after such training (i.e. protective part of lgd role)?
But good video. Good job if you got the time. Keep the good work
A think you to soft with dog
My dog now he is watch for cats or ? he take care of hes new bodys. He think he is chicken sheperd
Gave him some disiplin that they gonna be in the yard give him a little paw pow in tha nose and then he be allright two days my dog learn no chickens on hes nose
