Re: Rotti on Death Row : [

Tho mine have never killed a squirrel, rabbit or bird... I feel I could more or less handle that. However, I think I would feel quite differently if they killed a goat, chicken, or duck! You can't have a dog running around a farm, no matter how small, killing your domesticated animals. He should be herding a goat, not killing it.

Yes, perhaps not leaving him to his own devices, providing supervision, and "jobs," working on "Leave it!" will all help. It is his first big mistake. Perhaps try a herding class, with an instructor who knows what the dog has done. Perhaps you can rechannel his drive into something useful and non destructive.

Oh the AC guy? That was the thinking of 20-30 years ago. Things have changed.
