[QUOTE="Farm Family, post: 1819376, member: 43070"] Where I am yes I back on crown land (on the one side) and our neighbours are a bit away as land is divided mostly 160 acres (quarter sections) but there are interspersed acreages and we have campers/tourists/hunters travelling through. That said we have a new acreage owner right across the road from us. Had to have the “talk”. They have a fenced yard but their two dogs keep getting out. Our LGD has not engaged YET and kids stepped in two days ago to “save” an incident. LGD independent thinker but follows a firm ”fall back” or stern “leave it” most all times. This is bonding. Another must…you can’t help her if she is in the firing line, if you get my drift. You can’t diffuse a situation if she won’t listen. Told them keep your dogs home cause she will not ask twice, she warns and she expects action that they leave, she has zero desire to meet or play and we may not be here to assist and in that situation she makes her own decisions. She is a working dog and very job orientated…this is not a sometimes thing. It is always. I explained that the previous owners had a dog that stayed in…her expectations are that…their line her line! No problems. So we will see jury still out on this challenge. Like a cow she has a space bubble, that bubble is big or small depending on her assessment of the situation. But agreed an LGD is not for everyone and I know people with donkeys, donkeys and LGDs, and some run pack LGDs. They are a valuable tool but it is a full year of daily training and commitment, another year plus of guidance. [/QUOTE]
