Clyde Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 I have a dog out front. Initially he used to go nuts at our local fox but I have noticed now his barking is much more half hearted. The fox doesnt skulk around, he just sits there confidentiality and stares. I think the dog is so used to this Mr Fox now that he sees him as less as an 'unusual threat'. This has given Mr Fox more confidence IMO, and yesterday he had a 20 minute window scaling two fences and took one of my ducks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dogbesotted Posted November 23, 2013 Author Share Posted November 23, 2013 Very interesting thanks, especially the habituation. it also shows why there is such an emphasis on the three way relationship between shepherd, flock and dogs when speaking with the shepherds in italy and I am sure elsewhere where the dogs are still used in the traditional manner H Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
