My dog LOVES to chase birds and squirrels. i have no problem with that but....?

i feel really bad for him because it always gets away before my dog catches it. it always happens like this: my dog sees a bird in the backyard. i open the door quietly so it wont run away and my dog flies out in a dead sprint. but birds and squirrels have good hearing, so theyre gone to fast. i feel really bad for my dog and i want him to have some feeling of accomplishment for once. is there any way i can help him feel like he got one without have a dead animal in my house?My dog LOVES to chase birds and squirrels. i have no problem with that but....?
The dogs enjoy the chase. I know you don't *really* want your dog to mutilate and mangle a squirrel or a bird. Just let him enjoy the chase and give him a treat when he comes back in and say ';good dog.';





Dogs aren't like people. They don't feel ';accomplishment.'; They do things out of instinct or because it is fun.My dog LOVES to chase birds and squirrels. i have no problem with that but....?
This is funny our pitbull did the same thing and i would feel bad for her so i went to petsmart (or walmart had them) and they had a squirrel and a racoon and i got a cheap fishing pole tied the string around the neck a few times and that way you can cast the toy out let him get it then when you notice they loosen up pull it away, reel it in, and cast it out again! MY DOG LOOOOOOOVES IT! and gets an accomplished feeling! GOOD LUCK!
if your feeding your dog enough. he's just exercising his natural hunting instinct. It doesn't really matter if he catches anything, he'll enjoy the exercise.
Aww i hate wen that happens!!





Buy a bird !!put it outside, but where it cant get away so your dog can catch it!





Sorry i meant a toy
