Cute Chicken VS Dog - Playful Video

Knowing your dog's primary breed and general characteristics will teach you a lot of what to expect from your dog when it comes to smaller animals. If you already have a dog and are thinking about having chickens, you can test your dog's prey drive and general reactions by exposing him to other birds first. If you have a dog that consistently exhibits provocation, excessive herding activity, or constant chase, it is possible that this dog has a strong prey drive and should not be left alone with a flock of chickens. Learn some clear commands and exercise them with your dog on a regular basis, whether your dog needs frequent obedience instruction or has a normal nonchalant attitude around fowl. For certified local dog trainers who specialize in your dog's breed, contact your dog's national breed association. The most important thing is to learn to read a dog's body language. You want to know your pet well enough to identify any precautions to keep your chickens and dogs safe.
