Dog Attacking Backyard Chickens - Training To Reduce Prey Drive

There is no excuse for hitting a dog in the head. That poor dog is petrified of him. You can see his body language - low head, ears back, tail down.
How about trying some positive reinforcement Mr Milan?

In the wild today and for millions of years the alpha male taught the others in the pack to obey by nipping them. Ive even seen where other males have tried to mate with females in the pack and the alpha male would run over and tear into the other male. This is the way they learn, so why would us humans try to change a trait that has been used by them for millions of years? Dont critisize him for teaching to this dog what only comes naturally to it.

I think this guy has no clue what he's talking about...

I thought he whispered to dogs? Instead he just hits them!

the chickien pooped on him. of course the chicken is SCARED of the dog! lol

usualy a dog (if you have treated it like a dog and not a human!) will wait to see your reaction to its killing anything, if you give it a kick or shout, it wont do it again,
but if you hunting and it kills, and you show it ur happy, it will work just for your pleasure,
problem is, ppl treat dogs lyk humans, then the dog becomes dominant and stops giving a shit about what u think, then its ur job to please the dog,

I don't like Millan either, he just does what anyone who's had dogs for long does, with the addition of snapping at the dog for little reason and hissing at them..
PS- the last time I saw a man with dogs that cowed, he'd been beating them. Millan's psychologically abusing them.

Either smack him with it, or hang it around his neck until it's a bit stinky.

I have an outside dog that is chained up next to the gate of the chicken pen. the chickens actually come up and lay down next to him, hell they even eat his food. He is a very playful dog and has killed 1 rooster playing with it to the best guess. I did what the old farmer next door said to do.


I picked the rooster up and smacked him with it. not hard, but i yelled real loud. problem solved.

prey drive ? its scary drive work ehhh:(
