Went out this morning and found that my dogs had killed some kind of animal during the night. It was a bit of a shock, and I’m still trying to figure out how to handle it. They’ve always been friendly, but I guess their natural instincts kicked in when something wandered into the yard.
I’m not angry at them, just unsure what to do next. Should I be concerned? Is this something other dog owners deal with? I live near a wooded area, so wildlife isn’t unusual, but this is the first time they’ve actually killed something.
If anyone’s experienced this, I’d really appreciate hearing how you handled it. Did you change anything in your routine or training? Or is this just one of those things that comes with owning dogs? Thanks in advance for any advice or stories.
