Answer:
Sorry but you can train out instinct. Dogs instinctively attack animals they perceive as prey. You will have to be careful at all times to keep the dogs away from the ducks. I suggest a covered enclosure for the ducks with a deeply dug concrete base all the way around it, to discourage digging in by the dogs. It might be kinder to the ducks if you didn't get any while you have dogs, unless you have border collies that have been trained with poultry.

I wouldn't bring another prey animal into the home until the predators are completely safe with the ones already there. But, do what you want. Whatever methods you are using to train the dogs not to eat the rabbit or cat will be just as effective with the ducklings.
