First question, how do you get a dog from Wal-Mart??
Some dogs depending on the Breed have such a high prey drive that it is almost impossible to change. Do you have a pic of your dog, could maybe get a better idea of his breed.
I have Free-Range chickens, and I have two Dogs, a Bloodhound/Lab mix ,and a St. Bernard. The dogs have a fenced in yard, but that dosent keep the chickens out. so I have had to work very hard with my dogs to get them to not hurt the chickens, especailly the bloodhound/Lab, he has always been quite interested in the birds, and has chased quite a few down. I work with them on the leash, and walk them near the birds,a nd when they act like they want to get the birds, i correct them, and give a stern no. It takes time, but unfortunately most things like this do. Same thing with the cat! you must make the dog understand, that the ca is yours, and uit is not acceptable to chase after. My cats an dogs get along fabulously, and most of the time, sleep together.
