Learn how to raise effective livestock guardian dogs
Who love you as much as you love them
Maybe you’ve heard these myths about
livestock guardian dogs (LGDs).
Myth 1:
LGDs are stubborn as heck.
The truth is livestock guardian dogs have been bred for centuries or millennia to work with shepherds. LGDs are no more stubborn than most other dog breeds.
Myth 2:
LGDs don’t need training.
The truth is livestock guardian dogs all need training. You cannot just throw a new LGD into the pasture with your livestock, and expect your dog to know what to do.
Myth 3:
LGDs can’t bond with both you and livestock.
The truth is livestock guardian dogs have traditionally worked alongside their owners. The happiest and most effective LGD is one that is deeply bonded to you and your animals.
