All I can say is, Good Luck! I've had dogs over the years and was never able to make them accept any other creatures in THEIR yard. Aside from walking your dog on a leash or putting him in a dog run, I don't believe it is possible to break him from his duty to protect his turf. I've had 'friends' tell me they were able to break all their dogs bad habits by using a shock collar but I consider them to be a cruel device and tell anyone who is contemplating purchasing one to try it around their own neck first!
Not all training collars are shock collars. Some of them can be set to vibrate or beep. And I DID try the shocking collar.
