    Dog Grooming

    Hello! We have an 8 month old Mini Australian Shepard who is in desperate need of a brushing. However, if we even show him one of his brushes, he immediately bares his teeth and backs away. We try to brush him and he nips us. This sweet, perfect puppy becomes extremely aggressive if we brush him...

    Good small dogs for protecting flock

    Just wondering if there’s a smaller breed of dog that’s good for guarding chickens? I know corgis are good, but what else? I’m looking into buying a dog but also using it to guard the flock, especially since we want them to be free range in the day :)

    Tick Mayhem

    Hey guys! This is the first time I've posted something non-chicken related. Lol. Anyways, we bought a 9 week old Mini Australian Shepard from a friend, about 6 months ago. About 2 weeks ago, we were petting him when we noticed a tick clinging to his fur. After that, we began checking him and...

    How do I keep my chickens away from my house and garden?

    I have about 20 chickens. They like to dig up my plants... I dont like that... How do I naturally repel them? Also, the chickens love to dig up the dirt around the foundation of the house so much as the changing the grade in an area and causing water in the garage. I need to stop this ASAP...

    Do you trust me?¿

    New street dog adopted for the protection of my runner babies and house. Any duck-dog herding advice? His name is Denver, 2 yo male that is very obedient. I think he is a wolf.

    DOG ATTACK! SERIOUS INJURY! HELP!

    A pitbull suddenly barged in my backyard along with another chihuahua and attacked my hens. Luckily one made it unscathed. But unfortunately, my other hen is suffering from a SEVERE bite. I tried to clean the wound as much as possible and wrapped her in a bandage. She is eating normally and...

    Gate to stop chickens but NOT dogs?

    I free-range my chickens and they like to get on my back deck. I don't want them there because, well, pewp on deck! Dog doesn't pewp on the deck so he's allowed on. Is there a gate design that auto-closes both directions (spring loaded) but can be pushed with a dog's snout or a toddler's hand...

    Dog attack-one chicken near death-what do I do?

    Something attacked our chickens today, killing one and we found another one almost dead. Two are missing and we can't find any evidence of them... I brought the injured one inside but she can't keep her head up, although she does move it once in a while so she is at this point alive. There are...

    Advice: using wire dog fence panels to build a chicken tractor

    Hey there, We have 24 (3 8-panel) panels of 4' wire fencing that we used for our puppy mobile run (pic). It's flimsy just by itself so I dont want to just use it as is. My idea is to incorporate it into a chicken tractor. The tractor has to be to able to withstand an 80 lb "interested" dog. It...

    Dogs and the Value of my Chickens

    This happened two hours ago and I'm still a little shaken... I noticed a pit bull and German Shepard with collars wandering our yard this morning. I didn't worry much because the chickens were pinned up in what I thought was pretty predator proof barn/fence. 10 minutes later, I look out and...

    What breed is my dog?

    I’ve had my dog for roughly 7 years now and I always wondered what breed he was, He was given to us cause his previous owner was moving and they didn’t allow large dogs. We were told he was an Australian shepherd but I don’t think so to me he seemed to be a mix of a great pyre and Aussie. But...

    Introductions

    Hello, I'm fairly new to the backyard chicken flock club. Before making any purchases I was sure to do quite a bit of research, but research isn't the same as experience. I'm hoping I'll be able to find out more information from people with first-hand experiences! At the moment there's three...

    A few dog training questions

    I watched this video earlier (been watching a lot of detection dog and nosework videos as well as just general police/military dog videos lately lol) and I noticed that in the video, he seems to have some sort of device or something that launches the toy out at the source of the odor which I...

    Who has a poodle? They seem like awesome dogs. I used to walk a black standard and she was great.
