Pets with Chickens
Posted by trevor under P&T Waffle :), keeping chickens
‘Will my dog be ok with keeping chickens?’ this is a very common question and one to be honest I can not answer because I do not know your pet.
However it is uncommon for dogs trained by their owner to respect chickens to ever attack them.
My giant dog is a gentle giant, loves humans loves geese, chickens and ducks because I trained him to respect them but he also knows where to stop the geese wandering to and also where and where not to let people go to because he is well trained.
I just assumed this would progress on to all other animals but I soon learnt that when some of the sheep fell I had not trained him as to what they were and to respect them, now he is trained he is good with them as well.
So it is really a case of teaching the dog how to respect the animals you have I am afriad only you and the dog will answer the question but in training them the answer should be they are fine.
The good news I very rarely hear of dog attacks from people whom have both.
