Yeah, this one gave digging and scratching at doors a try. Also running through the house like he was possessed, on antique chestnut floors and 1820s white pine and fir floors.

Easy fix, used hockey tape to tape some old hunting socks on his paws. No claw use, no traction, only took 2 days for him to give up all those habits. Now he'll sit and woof at the door gate to go out or in.

The way we trained the old dog not to hurt the birds was redirection. When they get too excited, they forget to think and act like natural animals. So we'd stick his favorite toy between him and the chickens, leave him tied where he could see but not reach them, and he'd take out his wild behavior on a toy. Eventually he grew out of it, and now you can let him in the coop and the chickens will run and fly and he'll just watch them, even if they crash into him.
