I have had two dogs that would climb trees after birds and squirrels. Some dogs do climb.
Aside from that I seem to broadcast "no threat" when I am hunting or just walking through the woods. All I have to do is sit down and all kinds of animals walk up to find out what I am doing. The ground squirrels at my cabin have learned to be more cautious because they make good target practice with my 357. I'm not kidding though, I have had deer, coyotes, squirrels, field mice, birds of many kinds including a Cooper's hawk, black bear and even a cougar once come out of hiding to greet me while I sit and drink water or eat a snack. If I am moving they stay hidden but as soon as I sit down they decide I am no threat.
If you feed the animals unsalted peanuts they will always come back. I had a murder of crows that I could call to food with a simple "Caw, caw, Caw!". The back yard would fill up with crows who couldn't wait to eat the peanuts or fat trimmings from what ever I was preparing to store. I like crows, they are smart and like to be challenged. I put a short and long piece of wire and a small mouth jar on the table that has meat and fat scraps in it and the crows would bend the long wire to pull out the food. They also teach each other how to do complex things to get food.
