How to Train Your Dog Around Chickens (and other small animals) 

Mookey is a good boy. I don't trust that cat though.

After watching a TON of dog training vids, I have to say: Kristen, yours are the best, the easiest to remember, the right volume, good clear diction and AWESOME content! Thanks so much!! Sharing with all my friends/family with dog behavior issues. I'm currently working with my bc on the bang trick you featured.

Please help. Both my cat and dog have been killing our chickens. We tried locking our pets inside the house for about a month or more but still my cats sneaks out and kills the newborn chicks. Now they have started attacking the neighbours chickens as well. My cat is about 9 months and my dog is 6 years old. I'm really desperate. I will do this with my dog but please help me stop my cat from killing our chickens.

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.

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.

how to train the cat not to eat the chickens

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💩

You are one of the only positive trainers that I can listen to! You should post more often!!

I had an elderly dog, she pasted away in May. I got some chickens and am getting a puppy soon. This was helpful. Have a good day everyone

Did this with my dog and he ate one of my chickens :(

I love your calm approach. Works on chicks, dogs and viewers too.

Seeing that border collie up close with those chickens gives me some hope!! 🥰

Bless, you can see he's a good boy doing his best to be one with the chickens and be gentle and caring towards them, then at week 9, oops, predatory dog instinct kicks in for a second, but you manage to bring him back and restrain him with your voice calmly but firmly. You obviously have a good connection with him and your time and effort to achieve harmony between all the animals shows. Good job all round. 🙏😊👍

Best video about the topic so far. Thank you for posting!

getting my border collie puppy on tuesday and I'm so excited! love the videos Kristen!

I'm glad I watched your video. I have been doing this with our two dogs now that we moved to our homestead and gave gotten ducks and chicks. It's good to know I had the right idea what to do and will progress, slower as our dogs are older, through these steps to get the dogs used to the birds.

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!

Great video! Our dog is much too high strung to ever be trusted alone but your video gave us great ideas on how to train her to stay relaxed when she is around their run.

This is great! We are getting chickens and I was looking at how we would introduce them to our dogs

I really needed this video,thanks.
