high prey drive... -eek-

My siberian has a high prey drive as most of you know, most siberians do.. (most dogs do as a matter of fact) I want to get a rabbit soon.. I have never took Tikeya *my siberian husky* to obedeince training .Is their anyway I can trian her to not pay attention to prey animals..??¿¿ I really want to adopt a bunny from the spca and I dont want Tikeya to kill it.. .. .. She has never seen a bunny befor , how do you think shell act?

When she first was introduced to a kitten *a little orangre cute fluffy kitten* she was licking her lips and whining .. She wanted to eat it.. :( why ? Does anyone eles have this problem?I know it occurs because she never was assocated with smaller animals as a baby right? :( I wish I wasnt so dumb and I wish I would have showed her more kitties and bunnys as a puppy... What can I do to Fix this trubble behavior.?.¿¿ :eek: :( :eek: :( :eek: :( :eek: :(

i really dont know but if u cant get her trained please dont get a bunny cus i dont want her to get hurt! but good luck!

I hate this because I really want a rabbit from the spca.. But I dont want it to die.. What if I was really careful?

I really can't offer any advice, just a story. My dogs both have a strong prey drive--shibas were originally bred for rodent hunting, and Abbey, well beagles hunt. They sit out on the patio and go CRAZY if they see a bunny--running back and forth, barking whining and carrying on--I don't know what would happen if they could get to it!!

I hope someone can help you out, it seems you really want the bunny!!

Do you have any other animals Ilovemyshiba? Has your dogs ever killed any other animals? My dog has.. She killed a hamster b4 she has givin a kitten a heart attack.. And she has killed wild birds *in mid air*(a bluejay one and a robin once) but nothing eles..




:( I hate this

(ps) Ilittle advise to anyone wanting to get a puppy..

GET another animal with the puppy like a kitten or rabbit ect.. because if you dont you will be sorry .. TRUST ME .. I AM !! :(

No, we only have the two dogs. But, my mother in law has a tiny pomeranian (4 pounds), and when Kito met him, he went for him like he wanted to eat him:eek:
My dogs are never off leash though, and they don't have a yard to roam, as I am in an apartment:(

Last night I was cleaning my hamster cage .. Cuddles my syrian hamster is pregnant and She is due tomorow so I had to clean her cage.. Tikeya was in my room while I was cleaning it.. Cuddles cage is an aquarium and it doesnt have a lid .. Anyways Tikeya wanted to eat Cuddles I could tell, she was licking her lips and crap, I was ;like "NO Tikeya" and she rolled onto her back cowering. This is a good sign .. I think Tikeya only has a low prey drive not a high one because if it were high then she would have no listend to me and she would have killed my hamster, right? :D I think that She doesnt actully like the tast of animals she just likes the chace ... Do you think I could be right?

It's very unfortunate for your dog, you, and your bunny that you did not listen to the advice we gave you in this thread and others.

I really though that my sib would be easy to get out of a prey drive but /I guess not. I am sorry as well, I wish I never got the rabbit. It would have been better off in a dirty old shelter rather then with me for a week.. :( ... Well you guyz dont have to worrie any longer because I am never getting a rabbit again..
