    No reason to feel sorry for Toby being outside all the time. He gets to live like a true alpha, ruling over his kingdom, with a huge territory to patrol and walk. He's living the dream of every dog.

    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 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.

My guardian dog right now is to guard my grandchildren and the other dogs and myself. She does a wonderful job. :)

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

      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.

    Yep... smartest thing we ever did is getting our LGD 9 years ago. They are wonderful dogs and do an excellent job at keeping everyone safe and happy on the homestead. Nicely done!

    I love the Tody videos. You did a very good job of explaining LGD's to potential future owners or to city folk that sees those very adorable white balls of fluff and just wants one. We have had 3 rescues over the years, only 1 was able to make the transition to working employee. He manages the buck herd here at the dairy. As far as training goes, our Akbash, we only 3 left now, just look at me as if to say "What?... You want me to do something besides care for the safety of my flock/herd and guard your fences?" Akbash are good for us, with the heavy wolf and mountain lion load. here at the edge of the White Cloud wilderness.
    Striking an animal is not training.
