Livestock guard dogs go from play to work in seconds

- While these Maremma/Great Pyrenees dogs tumble and play in the snow, one of them hears something at the other end of the field. In an instant all 3 dogs spring into action, ready to go to work. This is excellent livestock guard dog behavior; Fingal and King are out on point while Maple hangs back to protect the livestock (in this case it's their owner who is filming). We're not sure what it was they went after, but they sure know how to flip the switch!

Don't know what the one dog said when it barked, but my rottie got up and went out the door, looking both directions, so it must be universal. Now he has my bulldog standing there looking around too ! LMAO !!
TC Johnson my terrier just looked at the speaker and went back to sleep 🤣🤣🤣🤣
My two obviously don't speak English ... none of them even turned an ear.
The barking dog probably said what's going on? What do you see?
Same reaction from my ex-Gf!
TC Johnson lololol...that's awesome
My friend had one and when her son was riding his tricycle in the driveway the dog would pull him back if he crossed a certain expansion joint. That’s where the dog had determined was too close to the road for comfort.
Had a German Shepherd when we were very young that would pull both me and my brother back towards the house if we went a bit further than she'd like
We had a border collie sized shepherd dog like that when I was a little kid. Always monitoring us and immediately pulled us back to the yard when we went too close to the road. He had clear lines too for how far we were allowed to go.
@@ithewho6603 I´m sure there are many stories like that with shepherd dogs. :) One of mine: when I was a boy, we had a collie, who followed me everywhere as I was playing around the house and garden. Mostly just watching me. Once I was playing by the nearby creek and in the end I managed to slip and fall into the water. Nothing dramatic, the creek was very shallow. I got a little wet, but would probably continue playing. But the dog wouldn´t have it - she grabbed me by the sleeve immediately, dragged me away from the creek and eventually persuaded me to go into the house. Only when I came back out again - changed into dry clothes - did the dog settle down. :)
My grandma had a golden retriever on her farm and she wasn’t specifically trained to do anything, but one time my sister was standing in front of a car that my dad started and it inched forward a little bit and the dog grabbed my sister by the shoulder and pulled her out of the road. Dogs really are incredible
@@dawsonlindahl7427 wow! If only our shih tzu can do something except for looking cute
Who else noticed, at the beginning, that two dogs were 'playing', and one was watching?
The lighter colored dog was watching in the beginning, and stayed behind.
Oh yeah, cool..!
Perfect example of the older teaching the younger.
He knew something was out there.
Also, one stayed with dad, because he also needs protection.
I had dogs like these come up to me out of the middle of no where in the dead of winter while I was Elk hunting in Wyoming.
They hung out with me all day and helped me eat some of my provisions. I fealt really protected after I shared my lunch with them, I was then an honorary member of the pack LOL.
Comments: wow the dogs are so protective of the herd!
These 2 dogs: Hey that's elk hunter Suzy in the distance! Let's go eat! Leave the herd
@Suzy , that's so freaking cool !!
That’s awesome LOL

@@iwatchwithnoads7480 Right, the dogs were deaf and could not hear anything that might threaten the herd.
I love how the third dog stays with the livestock. That's what's supposed to happen
He stayed with the owner while the other two ran off in the direction of the herd. It was the herd bellowing that caught their attention to begin with.
More like a team rather than a pack. Clever big dogs.
Lol 130+ people had no idea what they were watching.
@@JediJan it says in the description the 3rd dog stayed w the herd and owner. it also says that they don't know what got the dogs attention. Bold of you to claim to know the opposite is true and that you know what got the dogs attention.
@@kervet6046 And yet, the description says that the owner was the “herd,” so you were incorrect as well, according to what was written.
Put collar cams on them! It would be amazing to see their adventures!
You ever see the family that put a cam on their escape artist dog? It got out, visited the neighborhood, heard his people's car coming, hid from them as they drove by, caught on collar camera!, ran back home thru backyards, and into his yard before his people got there. It was so hilarious, how can you not love a dog like that? ♥️👍
I put a tracker on one mine the other dog chewed up and spit the battery out within 10 minutes

Read the video description. They are Maremma/Pyrenees cross.
Not chihuahuas? 😆
As an Australian travelling through Paris, I was sitting in a café when a Gendarme (Police) with his Canine partner entered the café. the Gendarme approached the counter, the Alsatian (can't call him a German Shepherd in Paris!) sat down obediently next to him, staring at him intently. He glanced down and said "Jouer" (play) and the dog ran up to everyone and sniffed them playfully, looking at everyone, and generally had a great time. The Gendarme sipped his coffee, downed the last drops, and said "Travailler" (work) and the dog sprang to attention, ran and sat by his side, staring intently at him again. The Gendarme TRIED to pay his bill, but the shopkeeper was offended, and refused to accept his money. The Gendarme and his partner said goodbye to all in the café and walked out. The INSTANT and INTENSE work ethic of this four-legged Police Officer was a treat to see.
What a great story mate. Thanks for sharing with us.
God bless ‘em 🥰❤️🥰
Why don’t call they them German Shepherds?
@@jarnodatema It depends on your Nationality. Another name for the German Shepherd breed is Alsatians. This term comes from Alsace-Lorraine, a North East region of France on the border with Germany. It was ceded to Germany after the Franco-Prussian war of 1871, and was returned to France after WW1. Germans call the breed German Shepherds, French call them Alsatians.
@@sopwithpuppyhi, I am French, and in France we say German Shepherd, except perhaps in Alsace, but throughout the rest of France we say German Shepherd (Berger Allemand in french) 😁

The third dog is a supervisor. He doesn’t do any work he just makes a lot of noise.
BINGO. A little older maybe.
Yup!
WRONG DUMMY. He has the ultimate duty of being the last barrier and defender of the flock.
You are canine ingnorant.
studies of work dogs like this show that dogs in a pack take up roles as they introduce and find their places , that dog staying to bark its his role and with more video im sure we would see the point of it
Always amazed at how someone misses sarcasm that obvious but thinks they are smart. LoL.
Boy those two covered that 1/2 km right smartly.
I used to have an english setter named cindy,we would go quail hunting n cindy would cover a thousand yard hedge row in a minute n a half,come back not even out of breath,no birds here,were to next boss? Lol
I thought the same thing. Man they motored
It’s cool how they know their roles. One stays back and the others patrol!

I have lifestock guard dogs in northern Sweden they go from playing into protecting in a snap.......love them!!!!!!
Bought to get some land as per plan for a while up state Maine, to build a House over time and sell it, and I could use a couple good dogs like that! But there are Black Bear, Wolverines, Coydogs (half Wolf), Mountain Lions, ect... and they would need to know their places, or get ripped up! But it would nice to have a Couple Dogs keeping everything mean out of mee woods! So I could feel 100% safe as no matter what my back will be to the woods somewhere till I chop things down and finish building a house over 2 years! Mostly becasue of money flow!
@@randyross5630 Get a couple of mules. Dogs will help, also, but the mules and dogs need to be trained to get along.
As a teen, I went out to Grandpa's mule pen one morning.
And discovered Sally had gifted me four nice, marketable Coyote pelts.
Wolverines? I unno. Against one mule, for sure, dead mule. Against 3-4? Wolverine would probably still win, but would also be very likely to say, "Not worth." Mustelid will be mustelid.
Black Bears tend to be timid enough, that they figure anything that stands up to them might know something they don't. The key words in there are, Tend to...
The more they're outnumbered, the more timid they tend to be.
Which is often a good practice!
Also, mules graze, and dogs need chow. And flea meds. And deworming. And vets, more often than mule. (You can also hitch a plow to a mule!)
Still, if you could teach 2-3 dogs and 2-3 mules to tag-team, that might be a Sight.
i have livestock guard sloths in south Madagascar they go from playing into protecting in a nap........love them!!!!!
what ever the dog said, it sent my dogs into an alert attack state, so it must have been important
It got one of my dogs going as well. The others know it's the "tv".
Same here! I had to put them out so they could check it out LOL.
My shepherd went into ultra alert mode to that barking .
Gary Larson did a write up on a scientist who invented a canine translator device. Using that scientist’s findings, I can determine that the dog said, “HEY!! He-e-e-y! Hey, hey!”
He was giving out counter-ambush tactics
Very cool video. Perfectly in tune with nature...and their task. Nothing makes a dog happier than to be performing their job.
The same can be said for people, when they find their true calling.
@@arrjee9474 so true
It's a beautiful scene! Could have happened 3 years ago or 300 years ago. Dogs doing what instinct calls them to do while proud humans watch
you said it. That is a reason I simply DO NOT like to keep a dog in an apt or even in a house JUST TO KEEP ME COMPANY! This is simply unfair to the dog.
@@rezNezami How so? Keeping company is also a job for a dog. There are even support dogs who are trained to do this specific task

He's the boss of pack barking orders ready to back those two while they intercepting.
Two go, one stays. It is known that wolves, etc "Decoy" guard dogs out away from the herd then have others come in and harvest the target. These have a plan. Good for them
monkeys do that too in order to steal fruit from market stalls.
I'm to lazy to reply .
The alpha male stayed with the herd. The Beta and Omega went to investigate. Dogs have done this for 50,000 years. We've bread this reaction into them. What's amazing is that they went from play to protect in 1 second.

I never cease to appreciate how our canine mates are so driven by instinct and the drive to perform their inherent duty.
Shame we cant elect them to congress,they would be honest,and have everything fixed by the end of the day
We had a Pyrenees cross that was one of the best dogs I have ever had. He could be a big teddy bear one moment, but would become deadly serious if he didn’t like something. He was my wife’s shadow and her greatest protector if the need arose.
I spent some time in a remote town in Alaska. We were very dependent on the dogs. They have a “Bear Bark.” It’s a different pitch from a normal bark. There is no mistaking their body language when they sound it. They make absolute certain you are hip to their jive. I have spend a good bit of time around dogs, and I have not heard a “BB” before or since.
Yeah, every dog I've known has different barks, say four humans getting too close, to cats, to hearing other dogs barking a block away. Different again to when they're herding, and when they're tracking. I think its more that people largely don't pay attention.
I had an Akita that never barked except for about a week one time, she was wound up the whole week and trying to jailbreak the fence. I found bear scat on the neighbors side of the fence and kept a close eye on her until the bear moved on. Bear bark is real.
*One dog stays back because if the other 2 die someone has to be alive to tell everyone how brave they were. XD*
im pretty sure one stays back to guard the sheep or cattle or whatever so that the predators do not lure them all away from what they are guarding.
Very well said
Bugsy Lion I think it’s more like the General saying, as we Marines cross the line of departure, “Go get ‘em boys, I’ll be right here when you get back”
killersushi99 lol not knowing what they are chasing .but coyotes are smart they will draw out a dog then ambush from the side. smart dogs know this and will always stay back and wait for the predators too come to them. and they never leave the heard unprotected.
@ŧώїżđэđ ľїŏή
Through looking up guard dogs over the past year, I have found that different breeds react differently. The one that stays behind looks different than the other two.
Depending on the breed, there are some that will charge out to the threat, as the pair did, then, there are breeds that will stay close to the area that needs protection. Looks like this person had both types, in my opinion, smart move.
My little baby chihuahua woke up from sleeping at those barks 😂 his on guard now!
Dog who stayed back was like, “yeah you guys go ahead, I’ll bring up the rear!”
Something on the other side of that ridgeline is in for a bit of a shock!
"I got your back man, keep going."
So cute! The doggie slipping and sliding then they heard the animals and took off running. The one that stayed back told them “ go ahead! I got your 6!” SO SO SO CUTE! I loved how they were playing in the snow and rolling over. Precious
Like an SAC base alert when the klaxon sounded; drop everything you're doing and scramble!
He must have been the oldest dog.
I hike on a trail that goes by a farm. Three GPs come over and bark at me. They don't act like they want to kill me. They just want me to know they are on the job. My dog had to bark back at them. Maybe they considered my dog a threat. One time I saw the farmer, but no dogs. I told her they were doing a good job.
IF COURSE they considered your "canine" a threat. In Austria and Switzerland there is signage that indicates you do not put yourself (or your canine) between a sheep herd and the guard dogs, or expect disaster.

Beautiful dogs, spectacular landscape.
I appreciate the loud bark echoing down the valley.
Had to find out where this is: Middle River, Cape Breton Island, Canada. Beautiful.
Beautiful pups! I have two of these “Golden Pyrenees” and two full-blood all white ones. Amazingly kind, gentle family dogs that keep literally everything off your property. Over the years I’ve owned Huskies, Labs and a hodge pudge of others but by far these are the best for protecting the flock, herd, family, etc. Thanks for sharing! 👍
ROFL. Do educate yourself. They are *****NOT***** "Golden Pyrenees" which is a mix of Golden Retriever and the Great Pyrenees. These are 100% livestock guardian dogs - crossbred. Livestock guardian dogs are wasted in household & similar settings as they are bred to be independent or to be exact indifferent to owners as ALL livestock guardian dogs are.
Livestock guardian dogs that are chasing people off the property are ****NOT*** properly trained and usually just ill mannered aggressive mutts (like yours). A PROPERLY TRAINED livestock guardian dog will actually leave people be as long as they are not messing with what the dog is guardian.
Love seeing a dog live his best life.
The one barking is the guy who leans on the shovel looking down into the hole. 😁
The word you're looking for is foreman.😉
No,,, it’s the one that stayed back to watch the herd, the other two abandoned their post.
This is how theyre supposed to work. Its why you should have more than one LGD because they have been bred to work together. Two go to run off the predator while one stays to guard the flock or herd. Wolves have been known to try and lure away guardians and circle back to kill. This is awesome instinct actually 👍🏻 If there were 5-6, still only one or two is likely to stay back while the rest go. Its cool to watch.
That shows how little you know of canine guard breeds You simp.

What I loved most about this video is the way the sound of the dog barking echoed across the vast, silent distance....
I noticed that too.........awesome.
i'd like to hear at least once a dog barking in a vast snowy valley without any echo (it just "not" happens in a valley full of trees or other objects that absorb sound reflection)
Very nice how one stays back to protect and two go out to encounter the threat 💕
God, there's something proud about that... Homeboy's got your back! Sound the call, they come running. I love it.
I don't mean to sound corny but their presence has power and magnificence....
I love the livestock guards
I love these dogs. So funny and sharp. The first two dogs went ahead , the third dog was shouting " do you need me " or can you handle it. If they wanted him ,he'd be off.

My pup pack snapped to attention! My male Aussie even started barking🐾😁
the one dog stayed to protect the camera man. his barking to the two other dogs was 1. to let them know that he was staying behind 2. if they need him he would be there asap. great pack, smart, the dog who stayed behind actually seemed to think that through with slight struggle to make the right decision, he wanted to go no doubt, if the camera man wasn't there he would have went and more than likely lead that pack. the two that took off, both hauling ass at the same speed, side by side, totally silent so they could hear what #3's plan was.. awesome video, your live stock and family are in great paws! =)

You seem to know what you are talking about.
I wonder how dogs know who is doing what?
Do you know and can explain?
It's all speculation, honestly. Certain barks do mean certain generalized things, but if there are specific messages behind them, we don't know. To me I could argue that the dog staying back is barking to let the predators know that there's backup if needed, not telling the other dogs he's staying back to protect the human, but no human knows the true meaning behind them.
It's a natural behavior with Livestock Guardians when they're in a pack. They allocate tasks, some, usually the faster (in my experience, younger) dogs will go charging ahead to be a first line of defense and try to either scare the predator away or engage it. Others will naturally stay closer to the flock as a more defensive line in case any predators are smart enough to get past the more aggressive dogs.
Zev Benjamin
Cool.
But I wonder how they decide who is doing what?
What is the alpha dog doing?
Give orders or what and how?
I tried to check on Internet for more information, but it was hard to find.
Perhaps I do not ask the right question?
Anyway, I would love to hear a answer from a "dog expert".
And also some commenters below mentioned the behaviour in the video clip above, alerted their dogs.
Is that possible and how?
Dog language?
How they decide who does what is more about personality and temperament than orders from the Alpha. The more aggressive or assertive a dog is, the more likely it is to take that more front-line approach. Quieter, more nurturing or low-energy dogs are going to stay back to keep their eyes on the flock.
As for what the alpha dog, that one who is staying back is doing? Those barks serve as signals to predators and to other members of the guard pack that "Hey! There's danger, there's something here that we need to react to, playtime is over." That's signaled through volume and pitch of the bark, which is why people's dogs would react to the sound. They hear the pitch of the bark and that tells them exactly what its supposed to, something is up and they have to pay attention and start keeping their eyes and ears open because there could be danger.

Two go the see the problem and hopefully get rid of predators, one stays to protect their human and communicate with the others
Those are some bad ass dogs!
They sure can cover some ground with the quickness too!
Warning sign: 'I can make it to the fence in 3.2 seconds; can you?"
Do you guys need back up? Ill stay here with the human....
That’s so cool how they work together, one stays behind with the herd or property, and the others scope it out
"You guys go get it, I'll stay here and bark"
My buddy has these dogs on his sheep ranch. Great dogs and playful, till it's time for business...
I have a female Pyrenees from a breeder, with her puppyhood being spent entirely on the farm, with working parents, when my two previous Pyrenees were from pet shops. I guess they weren't produced from working lines like that.
She's very gentle, but also intense in a way neither of her two predecessors were. I mean, it's hard to imagine her taking on a predator like a coyote, but I guess she can be a little hardcore when she wants to.
My 90lbs GS heard this and started patrolling the house lol
For large sheep herds it also works to mix different breeds, like kangals which will go chase the wolves away and even engage in fights while others stay with the herd in case there are other wolves circling around.
Damn I love this cool guard dogs they just know what to do respect for these magnificent dogs
I love how the one dog communicates with the other two at 1:10
if the dog was deaf, i'd love even more if he used dog sign language.
Great Pyrenees can be a playful high energy friend. But it can be scary to run into them when out on your mountain bike and they're guarding their herd!
I got a great Pyrenees to protect my son from mountain lions at my property i pretended to beat my son up in front of her to see how she would react and she helped me she didn't hurt him but I should have realized that if she got to know him more she would have protected him with her life they are loyal dogs. Lots of energy and big but loyal I wish I would have kept her. She lives on a farm last I heard so I hope she is happy.
These aren't Great Pyrenees.

shes not just hanging back, shes staying to protect the livestock while the other two go ahead to find out whats up.
I like that third dog, he's like hey I just ate, give me a minute.
Aww, you can see that the third dog really wanted to go too, but she knew her job was to stay and guard the flock.
When you have three, to go. The Third is barking, and that speech to the front two. I wish we knew what they were exactly saying. Nice vid
Try listening 👂. They were saying, "woof. woof woof." Duh.
Probably giving them a base to orient them!
The third dog: 'They can handle it. I'll just stay here and sound like I'm part of it.'
The last dog is saying ,"GUYS!! its fake guys, its just for the video"🐶sheesh!!
The dog who hangs back is obviously the Commander. He's the backup and the other 2 take point. He's then asking for a report. What do you guys see? Well disciplined dogs conduct themselves like a squad. Tactical discipline is evident in the way they deploy.
He's the lead woofer! It's amazing how dogs can form cohesive teams without the benefit of language. These days, they work better together than most humans do
To all (and there are SO MANY) who indicated their dog became alert when hearing these guard dogs bark.

Have the bark on a motion sensor activated tape at the front door!!
Intruders will not stay around!!
That’s why they should be kept 2 or 3. Back up and threat management. Recently read of lone guardian dog who protected herd from a large pack of coyotes. Killed most of them but only just survived. Needs partner.

The third dog could’ve followed along ten seconds later as a surprise backup just in case the first two engage several wolves.
One stayed because the owner was there filming , had they all 3 been out alone good chance they all 3 would have went together. You can't leave your owner alone.

@@MarcusNesbitt4 I just explain why only 2 went down just as the description stated, so what is your point for name-calling?

First PLAY then SCOUT then REPORT then watch camera guy cus he FEEDS us lol Awsome show of Natural Herding Dog standards in PROTECTON =) These are one of the BEST dogs on the PLANET for this type of job GJ~
those are Livestock Guardian dogs, not herding dogs - big difference
At least 2 of the are working properly lol
I like the way one of them stayed, alert and barking
Wonderful to catch these amazing animals doing their job.
When my cattle dog is in the backyard and doesn’t want to come back inside , I just slap my arm and say owe and he comes charging to protect me:)
Sounds like my wife. They say i owe and she keeps charging!
That dreaded feeling you get when you sense that somewhere a cow is not doing what it is supposed to be doing!
1 stays back smart one
Whatever they were running for I sure wouldn’t want to be on that receiving end!!
They weren't going to work, they heard the dog food bag opening.
Now what happened here was the owner of that house in the background did a funny call to make the dogs run over for food.. yet another staged video
The old dog stayed back and was like...what is it..whatcha got u need me?
Lol. Exactly.
He stayed with the herd. They all can't leave. It's very smart actually.
@@itstheotherwhitemeat I was wondering the same thing. If the dog barking is suppose to be where he was stationed.
