Wm.Koehler's method of curing a dog of killing chickens was to
pen up the dog with a chicken, the chicken on a cardboard box
floor so as to insulate him, and tie the chicken to a stake so he'll
stay on the cardboard, and charge him up with a fence charger.

The dog (and the chicken) get a hefty shock when the dog touches
the chicken.

Soon the dog wants absolutely nothing to do with chickens. He
detests the thought of chickens.  He gets a whole day there to think
about that.

The point here though is that the chicken apparently does not die
from the shock.

My own dog takes direction and leaves the chickens alone without that.
Today you'd use a radio shock collar rather than the 50s setup Koehler
was forced into.  The only problem with radio collars is that they're
too easy to use, and people become thoughtless about it, about how
they use them.

They don't teach the dog what to do; they only teach the dog that
he has to do what he knows very well he has to do already.  There's
a lot of training that has to come before it, usually.

Oh, these aren't my dogs. These are large packs of wild dogs.
So far the only training the wild dogs have had is how to stay out
of rifle range.

I just wanted to make sure I don't electrocute my poultry with a hot
electric fence.
