I gave him multiple chances every day to show that he can behave around the chickens, and when he started running around the coop and barking, I could step on the leash to get control of him. I think there's more risk taking in a rescue dog. But I'm happy that at least this rescue org will take dogs back that don't fit.Jordanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05712893867575841432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6138859409301308693.post-6082597173349344782010-08-23T01:04:13.901-04:002010-08-23T01:04:13.901-04:00I struggled with dog decisions earlier this summer...I struggled with dog decisions earlier this summer after taking in a rescued Great Pyrenees. I hoped she would follow the lead of the one we already had, but instead we had several stressful events and after a month of trying to re-train, I concluded she couldn't be a farm dog after all.She's happy in a great home now.Sometimes we have to make hard decisions for the good of every living creature we are responsible for. Don't be discouraged. It's all part of the learning process.Dianne@sheepdreamshttp://sheepdreams-dianne.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6138859409301308693.post-18472657395742776162010-08-19T14:06:47.979-04:002010-08-19T14:06:47.979-04:00He needs a chicken-less home, you need less stress...He needs a chicken-less home, you need less stress.

To this day I am still known to run out in the middle of the night in my pj's, robe and wellies with the spotlight ready to take on anything that is threatening the sheep and llamas. I know that the llamas are there to take care of that sort of thing but still....once a "mother" always a "mother".<br /><br />What happened to the neighbor's dog?Barbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03560593929780473106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6138859409301308693.post-47659536561063157772010-08-19T09:27:10.489-04:002010-08-19T09:27:10.489-04:00Bo does sound like a good dog, but when a dog hasn...Bo does sound like a good dog, but when a dog hasn't been raised around farm type animals it's hard to make them understand that the chickens, cats, etc. are not big, fun squeaky toys for their own pleasure. There's especially something about chickens that brings out the worst (at least to us humans!) in dogs.<br /><br />I think you made a very wise decision for Bo's happiness. He will find just the right home for his personality, wants and needs. And you sure as heck don't need to have to deal with any hassles right now. Good decision!Mama Peahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03649357184167949247noreply@blogger.com
