Download or read book Brave and Loyal written by Cat Urbigkit and published by Skyhorse. This book was released on 2017-01-03 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Learn about the brave dogs who help guard livestock around the world! Wolf populations in the Rocky Mountains have reached recovery goals due in large part to an environmentally friendly method of predator control now in use on western ranches: livestock protection dogs (also called livestock guardian dogs). Although these dogs have been used around the world for thousands of years in primitive systems of livestock production, it’s only in the past four decades that they have been put to work in America in a systematic manner. Guardian dogs were imported to the United States, and their use has allowed the expansion of predator populations into areas where the animals were previously subject to lethal control. The use of guardian dogs is typical wherever livestock may encounter predators—from fox and coyotes, to wolves and grizzly bears. In Brave and Loyal, Cat Urbigkit tracks her journeys from a Wyoming sheep ranch to learn about working livestock protection dogs around the globe. Using historic accounts, published research, personal interviews on four continents, and her own experience on western rangelands, she provides the reader an intimate look into the everyday lives of working livestock protection dogs. Brave and Loyal includes details on raising successful guardians, their behaviors, a discussion of breeds and historic use, an assessment of numbers for various predator challenges, the adoption and spread of programs to place guardians on American farms and ranches, problems and benefits associated with guardian dogs, predator ploys, and matching the dog to the predator challenge. Urbigkit’s work provides the best information on working livestock guardian dogs around the globe, accompanied by more than one hundred beautiful color photos.

Cruelty towards LGDs only begets fear, anxiety and loathing thus compassion is paramount. Respect of these dogs garners respect and loyalty from them in return.

Book Synopsis Livestock guardian dog by : Roland Berger
Download or read book Livestock guardian dog written by Roland Berger and published by XinXii. This book was released on 2022-04-15 with total page 107 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are you interested in the breeds of guard dogs? You have made a good choice. Herd protection dogs are something very special and that in every respect. They impress not only with their imposing size, but also by their external appearance. This can be very striking depending on the breed. While some come up with a beautiful long and white coat, others have shaggy hair that looks like dreadlocks. Many of these guard dogs have in common that they are descended from Asian dogs, which came to Europe many thousands of years ago through the migrations. These dogs already possessed the important qualities of natural protection and guarding instincts, and also the gift of acting independently and making decisions without human interference. The contents of the book are: - Difference guard dog and herding dog - A portrait of guard dogs - Which breeds are there? - Education of the dogs - Herding dogs at home - FCI Standards - Summary Even the diet of the guard dogs, which is still unusual today, can be traced back to this time. They are not fed like conventional domestic dogs, but much lower in protein. Furthermore, these dogs are also able to digest dairy products, which is not the case with normal dogs and can lead to digestive disorders. Now the future owner of such a dog should be aware, however, that likewise the attitude and education can lead to considerable problems. Such a large dog needs a lot of space and it is not enough to have a small garden. The demands of a guard dog are somewhat higher and you must be able to fulfill them, so that your companion can lead a species-appropriate life. As you can see from these few lines, a guard dog is not a dog for everyone. It belongs in absolutely experienced hands. If you belong to these experienced hands, inform yourself in this guide about the different breeds of guard dogs. Learn what belongs to their strengths and weaknesses and whether such a special dog is also suitable as a family dog. Have fun reading and learn

This book was released on 2012-09-17 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cat Urbigkit journeys alone to spend a season on Wyoming’s open range tending to a herd of domestic sheep as they give birth amid the challenges of nature – from severe weather to a wealth of predators. Her only companions are the livestock guardian animals (BIG dogs and a pair of burros named Bill and Hillary!) that repeatedly prove their worth in devotion to protecting the herd. Cat Urbigkit journeys alone to spend a season on Wyoming’s open range tending to a herd of domestic sheep as they give birth amid the challenges of nature – from severe weather to a wealth of predators. Her only companions are the livestock guardian animals (BIG dogs and a pair of burros named Bill and Hillary!) that repeatedly prove their worth in devotion to protecting the herd. Urbigkit offers interesting reflections on the role of pastoralists around the globe and on the controversial issue in the Western US of private livestock herds being run on public lands. The intimate ways in which abstract public policy plays out on the open range is eye-opening. More than a tale of herding sheep, Shepherds of Coyote Rocks is an action-packed true story that reveals the broad spectrum of the human relationship with nature, from harmony to rugged adventure.

Download or read book The Other End of the Leash written by Patricia McConnell, Ph.D. and published by Ballantine Books. This book was released on 2009-02-19 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Learn to communicate with your dog—using their language “Good reading for dog lovers and an immensely useful manual for dog owners.”—The Washington Post An Applied Animal Behaviorist and dog trainer with more than twenty years’ experience, Dr. Patricia McConnell reveals a revolutionary new perspective on our relationship with dogs—sharing insights on how “man’s best friend” might interpret our behavior, as well as essential advice on how to interact with our four-legged friends in ways that bring out the best in them. After all, humans and dogs are two entirely different species, each shaped by its individual evolutionary heritage. Quite simply, humans are primates and dogs are canids (as are wolves, coyotes, and foxes). Since we each speak a different native tongue, a lot gets lost in the translation. This marvelous guide demonstrates how even the slightest changes in our voices and in the ways we stand can help dogs understand what we want. Inside you will discover: • How you can get your dog to come when called by acting less like a primate and more like a dog • Why the advice to “get dominance” over your dog can cause problems • Why “rough and tumble primate play” can lead to trouble—and how to play with your dog in ways that are fun and keep him out of mischief • How dogs and humans share personality types—and why most dogs want to live with benevolent leaders rather than “alpha wanna-bes!” Fascinating, insightful, and compelling, The Other End of the Leash is a book that strives to help you connect with your dog in a completely new way—so as to enrich that most rewarding of relationships.
