@@happyguy0105 technically you can I've slowly training my parents dog to behave while on walks. And she's a older dog. It would be easier if I wasnt living 2 miles away and dont have a car. So it's taking a lot longer and she behaves better for me than my mom and grandma. So yeah technically you can train a grown or older dog. Its just significantly harder.
@@NoraIconiq Yeah, thats an old wives tale. And my experience has been, it takes longer, si.ply because their behavior is like a habit. They simply dont think about the new behavior. Ive taught many "old" dogs "new" tricks/behaviors. We all learn our entire lives. Dogs are no different
So glad Toby was accepted by the other animals. The geese realize Toby has the run of the farm, as he is by your side. Chain of command or pecking order has been established and accepted. Great job. Happy Holidays.
I might add that when Toby starts biting or is being nippy, the best thing is to grab a toy, rope, towel, stick, or whatever is lying around and stick it near or in his mouth. This is in conjunction with you telling him not to bite. Sooner or later, Toby will learn not to bite. We did this with my youngest Labrador, who was a real biter when we brought him home, and he doesn’t bite or nip anymore. The downside is that he now tries to carry as many things around with him as he can fit in his mouth. His personal record is 10 toys. How he does it, we don’t really know, but at least he doesn’t bite anymore. It is funny to see him open his mouth and watch everything fall out when he hears us open the pantry door, since we store the treats on the bottom shelf.
Bite inhibition is better than redirection. Ladradors and livestock guardians have a very different set of genetics. Plus, Toby is hardly ever bored living a proper routine at a farm. :)
*Awe* caught something on a re-watch I'd missed the first time. Right at 6:18 - 6:22, a beautiful white goose is (I swear) trying to catch falling snowflakes. Absolutely adorable. =)
Wow Toby still alive. The animal rights groups make you think every full time outdoor dog is suffering and near death. Toby looks normal and get him a wife and he will be in doggy paradise
For the life of me I can't figure out why this breed of dog isn't vastly more popular. If Toby is representative, they are sweet, calm, smart, obedient and beautiful...basically the perfect dog.
They would be, but they are "outside" dogs and preferably they need some sort of job that they do daily. If they don't they become miserable. Toby has a close to perfect situation at the farm.
I know I won't have a working dog, but this is the kind of demeanor that I love in a dog. Hopefully I'll find a boy as good as Toby some day (I'm not going to get a breed of dog that's meant to do a job).
Their beautiful coat rules out warmer climates, but I sure agree with you. If I had one he would be so spoiled. I probably could not resist bringing a Toby dog in the house.
My chickens have intimidated my poor pup. She's always been a sweetie, but now she just stops in her tracks to let the chickens do their thing, then she'll walk around them.
Oh Toby is such a great dog! Bess his little cotton socks. He will need worming with all that poop he eats. My pup loved the chicken poo when he was a puppy and looks for bird poo now. Must be some minerals in it. Cat poo is the favourite though. 🤢🤢🤮🤮
My old poor German shorthair used to love to rest his sweet nose on my leg whenever I was watching TV. I dont think he ever figured out how we knew he had been eating cat poop. (He would have litter stuck in his whiskers)
Mine ate building blocks, theres some calcium in it. I was going to lay that brick, already picked it up and put it in place then I see teeth marks on it 🤣🤣
Oh wow the new puppy Abby is so much bigger then what Toby was when yall got him even in this video Toby was so tiny a small he was a little furball so precious and Abby of course is so so cute so excited for you guys to have her and for Toby to have a play mate too
Re: all that standing water in your barn. You should dig out some french drains, and I would recommend laying gravel in any low areas that hold water like that.
Toby dog has grown so much in the short time that you have had him ❣️ he is amazing and it shows in him that you are doing an incredible job of raising him up❣️❣️❣️
That went wonderfully. He is so adorable and seems to have the perfect personality to enhance your farm. Your training has him so happy and respectful at such a young age. Great to see.
Awww 🥰 Toby is the sweetest pup I’ve ever seen, so kind and gentle!!! He looks like a little polar bear running around!! You’re doing an awesome job teaching him the ropes!!
I am so happy on your behalf - watching you two walk around and do your thing is very uplifting. I am pretty sure that you are at least 50% more happy on a daily basis after you got your little companion. And as we say here in Denmark: Two brains think way better than one ;-)
so i am going through your channel and watching your videos in no particular order. and i just wanted to say i LOVE the ending shot right here. you're sitting at your pond and toby is climbing the rock you're sitting on. and you're just looking off into the distance.
I think it's nice, the way Toby learned to help the ducks get their exercise, and now . . . he's doing it for the geese! LOL I love Toby. He's awesome.
I had a maremma pup when I was 14 that was an intermittent goat minder (mostly a pet). Most loyal dog, loved socialising with people and loved a rough play. Unfortunately at age 2 he got hit by ticks while roaming on our property and didn't make it too long after.. So happy to see this pop up on my recommended, hope the best for you and your Toby! Give him lots of love
Toby has one of the sweetest expressions on a doggo that I've ever seen. It's like, those big dark eyes... aww... makes me wonna scratch him behind the ears every time. Toby is such a good doggo.
Toby looks like he’s teething!!! Instead of that rope, which can fall apart and can possibly be ingested, I’d suggest a soft rubber toy like a Kong!!! Love your videos 💜
@@bobbybabylon1385 You are right that he doesn't have experience, he stated so himself in his previous video, but he also said he is trying to do the best he can in raising this dog and is willing to take tips. You imply you know your stuff about raising a livestock dog and care enough about it to comment, so instead of calling him a fool, why not provide some constructive pointers to help this man out, so that as you say he doesn't "ruin a potential good dog"? You can provide constructive criticism without being cold. If toys are not a good idea in this situation, then you could elaborate on why, and how you would get around it. Also, this dog may have a job to do, but that doesn't mean it should only be considered a work animal and not allowed to play when it is not doing said job. If the dog is teething, the toy could prevent him from getting into a habit for chewing other things, and seems to me anyway, a good way to train him at this stage.
best part which made me laugh thats where the ducks live, not where the toby's live. that was funny and cute, then he was like ok dad Ima sit here then just to make a point
We had geese in the back yard - they were so aggressive. Also had a rooster who pecked my leg, pecked hard. Very painful. I learned how to be his rooster so he would never do it again. You can't let the rooster crow near you. You can't let them mate with the chickens when they are near you. That's it. Otherwise they are prone to test you to see who is the Alpha Rooster.
with my rooster when he got his rebellious phase i just stood still for intimidation and ignored him and took a step towards whenever he tried to be agressive worked like a charm
Toby did a great job! It really is amazing how dogs bred for a purpose know that purpose inherently. Just a word of caution about dogs drinking from ponds and lakes. There is this blue-green algae that will kill your dog the same day he drinks it. I believe it is a warm weather thing, but better to have him trained right from the start not to drink from the pond. Thought you might want to know. 💓💛💚💙💜🌈
I'd worry more about giardia this time of year, as it does well in cooler, more moist environments. Toby's probably on parasite prevention, though, which can help.
@@llamacran giardia might be a threat, but what I was talking about kills a dog within hours of ingesting the water. The water contains a toxin produced by the algae, not a protozoa like in giardia. More importantly he need to know now so he could train Toby off the pond.
he is such a sweet boy! and the geese did a lot better than I thought too!!!, but they are young and im sure that helps...the chickens didnt give a hoot nor holler about him...lol
TH-cam Algorithm: Would you like to see a vid of Adorable Puppy and Ducks? Me: Well... Duck: Peace is not an option buddy. TH-cam Algorithm: RELEASE THE QUAKEN!!!!
I have a puppy of the same breed, also for my chicken’s and ducks and boy, she is great. I got my dog from a man who’s got sheep’s and he’s pyrenes watch’s for coyotes and wolf. They don’t herd the flock; they just sit and watch. That breed is perfect to keeps predators away and still good has family dog, but it needs to go out a lot, that’s where they are happy, with the farm animals.
MAN! You spent all that time making us nervous for nothing! Toby went through it like a total natural without any hitches. No challenges from the geese. No squawking. Smooth as silk. Great music on this one. Great content. Keep up the good work. בס״ד
It’s like 1 AM and I can’t sleep and I clicked on this because it was in my recommendations. This was a wonderful bedtime story thank you so much I couldn’t have asked for anything better. 10/10
I do not understand why I with a life of bad interactions with geese find watching you farm so soothing. Maybe it reminds me of my grandparents farm they work on and their orchards
with the muck problem in the barn, would something like a french drain down to the pond and covering with gravel help? (I know you're doing one project at a time and taking it slow)
Raising a life stock guardian pup is Not easy, we had a puppy a year ago. They are loving and cuddly and a handful of work. You both are doing so well and toby is so good with the birds. Be proud, you made the right decision! I am very excited to See such dogs in Such a great Environment
Nice! The geese and ducks here, even the chickens, will act afraid of my dog and cat at times. I think it's mostly a game. Remember Bill Cosby and his "scare me to death"? From what I've seen, that's what it is. Your dog is awesome and is going to be a great asset as you move forward. His calmness around the animals is such a wonderful sign.
Where I live in Norway our entire huge barn we own where I live, is covered in snow lol and the driveway we got down to the road? On the side of that atleast more than half a meter of snow in height.
He's absolutely good as gold! And I don't know geese very well, but they looked like they were only making token protests at best and mostly happy to step around him while he paid more attention to all the new fun smells. It's amazing just how much this kind of behaviour can be bred into a dog. My favourite moment was when the rooster feinted at Toby, and he just shrugged and sauntered off. Perfect response, no big reaction, keeping the encounter casual and not stressful. You can really see he's familiar with cluckbait.
That dog is a maremmano abruzzese or very similar. They were bread in Italy to protect livestock from wolves and bears. It would surprise me if he'd be able to work with animals like a shepherd, that's not their temperament, usually
They are passive herders, at least in my experience. They'll keep track of the herd and if a member starts to stray, they'll keep note and if the member begins to stray too far they'll go and coerce it back.
Since geese are migratory birds that fly south in winter to avoid cold, i'm curious as to what kept them from just taking off and flying away on you at the end of summer...?
Like other birds, not all types of geese fly south. These geese are bred not to fly south. And it mostly has to do with food supply and hunger, so if you keep feeding them, they'll stay.
@@WindWipper I believe bred. My friend raises geese, and over thousands of generations of geese, they bred out their need to fly off. Simply because the ones that needed to, did. Many birds do not fly south for the winter, mainly because their ancestors found a food source in the winter. Some types of cardinals and blue jays being the prime example.
He's a natural! My Great Pyrenees Bruiser used to chase the chickens, not to hurt them, but just for some play. When he was small he couldn't catch them, but once he got big enough the chickens would just give up and stay still. He'd come on over, put a paw on their back, give them a sniff, and then go find something else to do - lol. Well, a couple of months ago our chickens stopped laying (molting, cold weather, etc) and then about 2 weeks ago I saw the coolest thing. One of the chickens started laying again and let out a really long and loud cackle (as they do after they drop an egg). Bruiser was over by the house and heard this commotion and forgetting what a chicken laying an egg sounded like thought the chicken was in distress. Boy he came racing over quick, head on a swivel looking for predators all the way, and peered inside the coop to make sure everything was copacetic. Never been so proud. Oh yeah Morgan, chicken turds - his favorite snack...get used to it - lol.
I can tell from his face that Toby is a very good boy.
I rate
10/10
Toby has my approval.
Just seeing this first view of Toby, I rate him as 12/10. (there's a bonus for the floofiness.) He is a Good Boy.
ONLY 10/10? I'd rate him at least a 14/10.
Tibet is a beaut just look at those eyes you can see a lot of emotion in there
And i can tell the cat on your profile picture is a very good cat.

For a puppy he is learning fast.
They say you can't teach an old dog new tricks, but nothing about teaching a young fluffy boi about farming
Its easier to teach puppies than grown dogs because as a puppy they are more impressionable.

@@wordswritteninred7171 yeah true.
So glad the geese aren’t aggressive with Toby. If they were, I would feel very sorry for him
dw, they'll be food eventually. Toby can have his revenge then.
The thumbnail says otherwise
Geese are a pain in the ass! People feed them crap and they shit all over the place. Then attack you when you aren't watching.
Gease may look aggressive but when my puppy managed to chew through his leash he managed to round up 3 Canadian geasee. He was 3lbs at the time
@John Buick thanks, that word has always looked weird to me, Way too many Es
So glad Toby was accepted by the other animals. The geese realize Toby has the run of the farm, as he is by your side. Chain of command or pecking order has been established and accepted. Great job. Happy Holidays.
Geese are smart, they can understand who is in charge
Pecking order LOL you forgot to say no pun intended
Russell Melton what if it was intended 🤔
pecking order maggots
Except if you watched his other videos you know that the geese constantly try to intimidate the doggo
Can't believe how big Toby' has gotten in such a short period of time.
Yeah it grows quick
Growing like weed.
And due to his paws he'll grow a lot more.
Lol, wait until he is 18 months old, he will look like a polar bear
Duck meat is nutritious...
I have no idea why this was recommended, but "Release the Quaken!" killed me. I have virtually died of laughter.

I don't think that it would be ideal for a livestock guardian dog
when pups are too nippy it's a sign they left mom too soon. She uses those extra couple weeks to teach MANNERS (which includes bite inhibition).
Bite inhibition is better than redirection. Ladradors and livestock guardians have a very different set of genetics. Plus, Toby is hardly ever bored living a proper routine at a farm. :)
He's not raising a pet dog here
Need to try this with my cat lol
Mountain dogs always seek the highest points to scout for predators so it's sweet to see him going up the ramps, climbing the rocks, etc.
*Awe* caught something on a re-watch I'd missed the first time. Right at 6:18 - 6:22, a beautiful white goose is (I swear) trying to catch falling snowflakes. Absolutely adorable. =)

Nice! The geese and ducks here, even the chickens, will act afraid of my dog and cat at times. I think it's mostly a game. Remember Bill Cosby and his "scare me to death"? From what I've seen, that's what it is. Your dog is awesome and is going to be a great asset as you move forward. His calmness around the animals is such a wonderful sign.
Love the chickens you got and every one of them is a diferent breed haha
Love Toby! He’s a wonderful addition to your farm.
Ducks: Peace was never an option.
That pup is too adorable with his litle widow's peak and all! Love him.
I live in MN and although it is considerably colder here it just looks colder there.
Except for the green we only have evergreens not on the ground.
Owner, a happy man: "It's great to see this pond half full!"
Me, a pessimist: "Half empty"
Where I live in Norway our entire huge barn we own where I live, is covered in snow lol and the driveway we got down to the road? On the side of that atleast more than half a meter of snow in height.
Ahhh.. a boy and his dog!! Too cute! MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
"Everything the light touches is our farm"
I love how geese look around, with the head tilt. Amazing animal.
Toby is such a good boi 🐶🐶🐶
He's absolutely good as gold! And I don't know geese very well, but they looked like they were only making token protests at best and mostly happy to step around him while he paid more attention to all the new fun smells. It's amazing just how much this kind of behaviour can be bred into a dog.
My favourite moment was when the rooster feinted at Toby, and he just shrugged and sauntered off. Perfect response, no big reaction, keeping the encounter casual and not stressful. You can really see he's familiar with cluckbait.
That dog is a maremmano abruzzese or very similar. They were bread in Italy to protect livestock from wolves and bears. It would surprise me if he'd be able to work with animals like a shepherd, that's not their temperament, usually
He’s meant to be protecting the birds not herding them so he’s the right breed for the job.
They are passive herders, at least in my experience. They'll keep track of the herd and if a member starts to stray, they'll keep note and if the member begins to stray too far they'll go and coerce it back.
Wow!!! Look How Much Toby Has Grown! When you got him he was little. Now he is big
Since geese are migratory birds that fly south in winter to avoid cold, i'm curious as to what kept them from just taking off and flying away on you at the end of summer...?
Like other birds, not all types of geese fly south. These geese are bred not to fly south. And it mostly has to do with food supply and hunger, so if you keep feeding them, they'll stay.
@@11matt11 Geese bred not to fly south? Any idea how that is accomplished? Or did you really mean 'raised' not to fly south...
@@WindWipper I believe bred. My friend raises geese, and over thousands of generations of geese, they bred out their need to fly off. Simply because the ones that needed to, did. Many birds do not fly south for the winter, mainly because their ancestors found a food source in the winter. Some types of cardinals and blue jays being the prime example.
@@11matt11 Interesting. Thanks.
Toby is learning fast -- great puppy. I will enjoy watching him grow up.
Tell Toby the internet thinks he did a good job.
Your puppy is very sweet and beautiful.God bless you and your puppy and all your animals and family too.
Toby is adorable, please tell me you give him kisses on his head.😍 he's such a beneficial side kick. Hope your farm dreams come true.
8:30 so cute!!!!! Like a cartoon
Toby is throwing out ' Calming Signals' and the geese pick up on them. Looking up!.
He's a natural! My Great Pyrenees Bruiser used to chase the chickens, not to hurt them, but just for some play. When he was small he couldn't catch them, but once he got big enough the chickens would just give up and stay still. He'd come on over, put a paw on their back, give them a sniff, and then go find something else to do - lol. Well, a couple of months ago our chickens stopped laying (molting, cold weather, etc) and then about 2 weeks ago I saw the coolest thing. One of the chickens started laying again and let out a really long and loud cackle (as they do after they drop an egg). Bruiser was over by the house and heard this commotion and forgetting what a chicken laying an egg sounded like thought the chicken was in distress. Boy he came racing over quick, head on a swivel looking for predators all the way, and peered inside the coop to make sure everything was copacetic. Never been so proud. Oh yeah Morgan, chicken turds - his favorite snack...get used to it - lol.
If a farmer would live stream their ranch, I could just watch it all day.
I never realized how much I missed the New England winter before watching this.
