I have ten birds now, lost two this past fall. We let them out most of the day and the spend it wandering around eating bugs. One advantage, kinda disgusting, we discovered is they will tear apart dried piles of cow shit looking for grain or bugs in the piles.
It speeds up the process of the piles breaking down into natural fertilizer.
As for training the dogs I only had one dog that was a problem and he killed two birds early in our time having them. The solution was a shock collar and every time he got near a bird he got zapped, nothing terrible just a little buzz. Took a week or so but he learned.
