| Re: Dog problem
My dog can't be trusted with the pigs either, she usually jumps up at the cage (it is on a table) and looks at them, I don't trust her though, and have a feeling if she saw one scurry across a floor, her instincts would kick in (she is 50 pounds, and kills mice)
Still though, she understands not to mess with the pigs in the cage, but does look at them when I am around. her tale wags, she seems very unagressive.
I would not allow the dog to behave argressively and would work towards actively correcting this behavior through training. She needs to learn her place, like with anything else.
In the interm, if the cage is on a table, I would consider bolting it down to the table and zip tying all the connections together, so it can't be knocked to the really easily. This is by no means fool proof, but should at least help improve the stability of the cage to prevent a right before your eyes type of accident.
Good luck. |
