Old school way of breaking the dog, from William Koehler (whose methods of dog training i have used for over 40 years)
Chicken on cardboard staked so she cant get off onto the ground, use twine or plastic zip ties, tie feet together.
Put the line from 6 volt fence charger Fasten a few coils of live wire from the charger around the birds legs, seat the bird in a comfortable postition. Let the dog loose then hide, dont worry you'll know when he tries to grab the bird.
The zap to his mouth is the start, that nice wet contact with his feet grounded.
Now for a week, stake the bird same manner in the middle of a 6x6 pen with the dog. Your washing his brain of the thought that chickens are prey. It is hour after hour of NO leave it. You can do it with any domestic animals (some are harder to confine that other but there are ways.)
