Guardian Dog Killing Your Livestock? Don't worry you can fix it! 

Our Great Pyrenees (we got her when she was 16 weeks old and she is now 18 months old) loved to chase the chickens but never actually “caught” one. She could have but didn’t. We still worked with her on a daily basis not interact with chickens this way. It did require both me and my husband to do chores around the chickens. One to actually do the chores the other to supervise and immediately correct the pup until she learned to leave them alone. Our other solution was to add a second Great Pyrenees- which might seem counterintuitive, however it gave her a more appropriate playmate and we have had zero trouble with either dog chasing chickens since the new addition (the new dog was 5 months old when she came to us).

My pups killed one of my hens at 6 months old. I carried it around, and they followed. Every time they would reach for it, I'd smack their snout and say no. 1 of them it only took 2 smacks. The one that did the actual killing it took a lot more, but in the end, she finally walked away, leaving it alone. Now, 1 leaves them alone, and the other will chase but not kill. She stops when commanded. So she is learning. I have been holding my Feathered chick for her to Sniff and nose, but she still gets too excited to trust with the little ones.

I got my maremma when he was 4 months old. My goats butted him when he got too close. Now he is 8 months old and chases and bites the goats. I'm not sure how to stop him harassing the goats.

Can an older GP who has NOT been a LGD be easily trained??

My 9 month old Central Asian has killed about 3 mature hen. I'm ready to fuck him up. What lm doing is placing him with my older Central and letting him do what they naturally do to teach him. I also placed a correction collar on him and correct if I see him in the coop or getting ready to do something. Thanks for the video. Hope this is a BS dog that's going to continue.

Ok you answered my question. And I did that by sheer instinct I guess. I hope it works. The chicken was freshly dead most of his organs already gone half grown pup still eating, he got sound slaps next to chicken with loud repeated no with each slap. Again I hope it works, thank God it was a rooster.

I d k.
