How do I teach my dragon not to chase my sheep around? Question

+0
−0

My dragon Martha has constantly been chasing my sheep around, and I'd like to get her to stop this behavior.

Martha is a Hot Red Firebreather, and is five and a half feet long at about a year old (still pretty young, since dragons are only fully grown at three). I've had her for about three months now. She's generally very well-behaved - never breathing fire inside the house and not fighting with my neighbor's old Sapphire Blue Waterspouter. However, every time she sees my (solitary) sheep, she chases him around and bothers him, and it's really not good for the sheep.

I've asked around and done some research, and the folks at the Dwarven Library told me that I could paint my sheep blue to prevent this from happening. However, I'm not looking to do anything to the sheep - just for training the dragon.

I do not want to use any training methods that involve pain or restricting the dragon in any way, and I'm not looking to do anything to the sheep. I'm pretty experienced in training dragons, but I've never had to deal with this situation before.

Music.

It is well known, that dragons are quite sensitive to music. If you play the right music, it can calm your dragon down and it won't be chasing your sheep around anymore.

As you likely don't want Martha to sleep all day, you'll need to play the music only around the sheep. You could put a music player on their back for example.

The music won't affect the sheep much if at all, because they are less sensitive to it than dragons. However, you must not play aggressive music, because it can also make the dragon more aggressive, which is probably the last you want.

I have a dragon-calming playlist, you might want to check it out.

Well... that's your fault of keeping both a dragon and sheep. How stupid...
