    I love your approach to training Toby, my family raised cattle dogs for years, and I always found that a stern word goes farther than a blow to the dog, and at the end of the day it only makes your dog afraid of you. In my personal experience training dogs I’ve always found it’s far easier to train a dog to start a new behavior than to stop a negative one. I used to have this one dog who would always lose his mind barking when we brought him food, and instead of scolding him for barking I trained him to go grab his favorite chew toy and bring it to me before I would give him his food so he couldn’t bark with the toy in his mouth, and he’d go right to eating after dropping it in my hand, I think you did an amazing job training Toby he’s an incredibly calm and competent guard dog

    Toby is an amazing dog for the farm. I feel so proud watching him in action and the great job you've done with him and it's nice that you can walk us through some of his life and his role on the farm. My Molly is an Old English Sheepdog puppy and she's 6 months old. I'm still in the process of training her to behave with the ducks. The chickens she's fine, but the ducks get loud and start to run and fly away from her...then of course she chases. Work in progress, but these things don't happen overnight. Toby is a dog that Molly can look up to. Sheepdogs are amazingly instinctive and Molly herds me all the time. Absolutely love this video Morgan.

    Toby's on his way to becoming a great work dog and friend thanks to you, Morgan. I appreciate the diligence you put into research and your own training to be a good dog owner. Often people get a dog or other animal and never think of how they have to control or change their own behavior. That makes it really hard for the animal to understand and learn. Considering this is your first "student," I'm sure it was difficult not to spoil him. I'm impressed with how Toby appears to be developing into a valuable asset. You deserve a "teacher (trainer) of the year" award!

    Toby is such a beautiful dog.... I’m wondering: when does he sleep?!? He seems to be on guard 24-7 !

      He naps a lot during the day

      Most working dog breeds don't truly sleep the way we do, they nap A LOT. I haven't worked with guardian dogs specifically, but I know my husky really never sleeps more than 3hrs straight. My gsd growing up was also the same way.

    Toby has been a star of the farm since he set paw on it. What a wonderful gift he has been for you as I remember your hesitation when making the decision to get a LGD.

    When a man gathers wisdom, he gather's it from multiple sources and decides on his own.

      especially seeing other TH-camrs with much less entertaining content hitting 2 mils or more

    I had a Great Pyr. He let our chickens snuggle on his back! He kept our flock safe for 15 years! Best dog ever!

    I always love seeing Toby in your videos. This was great, learning how you have trained him. I honestly thought with a LGD, you just put them out with the animals, and their instincts and breeding magically did the rest. :-D

    Toby stands watch like he owns everything! At night all creatures go inside their houses, chickens, ducks, geese, humans. Toby stands watch!

    We rescued a dog from a shelter in Illinois and he could be Toby’s brother. We always thought he was Great Pyrenees. But after watching your video and seeing his personality I’m rethinking that. He lived to be 15 years old too. You have a very special dog there. Our Rocky was very special too. Not a day goes by when we don’t think of him. Miss you Rocky!!❤️ Thank you for the video.
