It is the nature of dogs to bite chickens. The ancestors of dogs made a living by hunting and were mammalian carnivores.
Although many dogs are no longer used for hunting and have gradually evolved from hounds to pet dogs, the hunting behavior of dogs is innate, and they sometimes show some hunting instincts.
In addition, chickens are a vulnerable group for dogs. Seeing dogs will inevitably make them nervous and afraid and start to run away. Escape further stimulates the hunting nature of dogs, thus stimulating dogs to Chasing. Some dogs may kill or injure chickens out of a moment of naughtiness.
You can train the dog to live in peace with the chickens when the owner is around. If the dog bites the chicken, you should stop the dog in time and give severe punishment or criticism to let the dog realize it first. Don't bully smaller animals like chickens.
In terms of feeding, try to use dog food as the main food, and try not to give the dog or as little chicken or eggs as possible to avoid stimulating the dog to think that chicken is food. If the conflict between dogs and chickens cannot be avoided, the chickens or dogs can be effectively isolated so that they cannot meet and conflict head-on.
Methods to solve the problem of dogs biting poultry:
1. Tie them directly, the simplest and most direct method, because after a dog eats chicken once, it will become addicted, just like my original dog Dogs will eat nothing but mice (they will catch the ones they catch and will not eat them if they are dead) because they will become addicted to this stuff, so the simplest and most direct way is to tie them up and put the chickens in a good pen, and then there will basically be no problem. .
2. It is natural for dogs to love to bite chickens, because dogs are carnivorous mammals. Take dogs out more often, catch dogs chasing chickens and ducks in time, and scold them severely. Be patient and teach a few more times.
When the dog understands that the owner does not like it biting the chicken, or that biting the chicken is a wrong behavior, the dog will start to correct it, and the phenomenon of dog biting the chicken can be avoided. The same goes for dogs and chickens. It is possible to live in harmony.
