I could not beat her with the carcasses, but I stuck her nose into the brooder box with the dead chicks and let her know in no uncertain terms how I felt: corporal punishment, and venomous vocalizations. She wont even look at the box with the new chicks in it. So I guess we all learned our lesson the hard way. but she will still be kenneled anytime I'm not in a position to have an eye on her.KeyLimeTwisthttp://keylimetwist.vox.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6852817039324676725.post-25597650577222028052008-06-20T05:02:00.000-07:002008-06-20T05:02:00.000-07:00Your plan is sound :) Bear in mind, it may need to...Your plan is sound :) Bear in mind, it may need to be repeated if she's not the most reliable on these kinds of things. You did pretty much what we'd do. My fave is what city people always tell me, "I heard to hang the carcass around their neck and they'll get so disgusted with it, they won't come near a chicken again."Um, have you seen what dogs eat? I mean dogs that have real land to play on? They eat as much of something they killed that they can hold. Then, they bury it for anywhere from three to thirty days, dig it up and eat it. A dead carcass around their neck is like handing me an ice cream cone! ;pmad-tantehttp://mad-tante.vox.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6852817039324676725.post-155188427683066042008-06-20T05:28:00.000-07:002008-06-20T05:28:00.000-07:00lol, at the ice cream comment..

I don't know how just hanging it on them would do anything, for heaven sake they eat from the litter box like is a box of Godiva..So far she has not even looked in the brooder box, but it is in the dining room where I can see it almost all the time, and if I'll be outside I take her with, and if I'll be in the basement or shower I lock her up, (or asleep). She may just not ever be able to be out of the kennel when we are gone or busy. I kenneled our last dog when ever we were gone, until she got so old she could not turn in the kennel. But by then she had no desire to chase anything, and my only worry was she would not be able to "hold it" until we returned. This dog is only 1 year old. So in everyway she is still a puppy, and she is a Black Lab, and plenty of people have told me she will always be a "puppy." As long as she is a puppy who behaves that is fine.KeyLimeTwisthttp://keylimetwist.vox.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6852817039324676725.post-50670639066559493732008-06-20T06:37:00.000-07:002008-06-20T06:37:00.000-07:00Whoa, Nelly!

Good luck with it, I know it'll turn out okay, even if for a sad mishap in between. :)mad-tantehttp://mad-tante.vox.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6852817039324676725.post-75989446406347289442008-06-25T05:26:00.000-07:002008-06-25T05:26:00.000-07:00The good thing about Sabrina is that she wants to ...The good thing about Sabrina is that she wants to be a good dog, she is pretty sensitive to our moods with her. So if we can get past the hurdle where she learns she cant play with them, ever. We should be good. She leaves the adults alone, and she is learning she can't play with the kittens either.KeyLimeTwisthttp://keylimetwist.vox.com/noreply@blogger.com
