“Actually you can totally break a dog of it. You can desensitize them over time or you can just tie the dead chicken around their neck and leave it flipping around on them for 5 days. They will never chase a chicken again. Its an old farmer’s trick.”
That’s more like an old farts fable. I ried that with a dog of ours, it didn’t stop killing chickens until they were all dead. It killed cats too.
I know someone who did it. But I just desensitize my dogs. Depending on the dog a couple of days to a couple of weeks. After awhile they just ignore the chickens. You have to put a little effort into it which apparently Kristi just didn’t care to do.
