| Living with a hunter My two year old yorkie is a tenacious hunter and killer of lizards and birds. Today I found him eating a tiny quail chick. It's impossible to keep wildlife out of our back yard as there is a stone wall they can easily climb or fly over. I know Rudy's only doing what comes naturally, but I wish there was a way to stop the daily killing. |

| The only thing I can think of is keeping a constant eye on him, and training him not to, but that is also somewhat impractical. You could also set up an exercise run that he couldn't get out of, and the animals couldn't get into.

| I'm thinking maybe putting a little bell on his collar, like you would with a cat?

Banning Thread Dictator Donating Member | That's a tough one. They were bred to hunt. I wonder if you could distract him with more toys. I'd be worried about him going after a snake or something dangerous.
