Re --trees. I reread this thread. I said I was going to have landscapers install trees. Happy to say my husband and I did it ourselves. Saved a lot of money. And they weren't going to do it until summertime.

Stephanie, I think it is really challenging to get a dog that has killed to stop going after "the kill" but both those ideas seem more superstitious rather than any sort of actual dog training!!! Glad you chose not to do either of them! I totally understand your chicken dilemma and hope you get it worked out so you can enjoy your dog again!
