I lived on a ranch for 12 yrs, too! My 18 cats did a good job of cleaning up rats and mice, one of my dogs cleaned up squirrels and gophers better than the cats! My dogs chased off a variety of coyotes, bears, and wild cats of several kinds. My animals lived out in the country where game was, well... game! They never once tipped over or ate my rabbits, chickens and other foul. They knew better! They were controlable! Amber is increasingly UNcontrolable!
I KNOW I have to do more with her, keep her occupied, teach her more than she already knows, and REteach her what she's apparently either forgotten or refuses to acknowledge... like "heel, sit, stay, drop it, come!"
