Description

What should our expectations be for our livestock guardian dogs? Do they really need two to three years to mature into useful protectors? How can we measure their usefulness? Can the “average Joe” be trusted to raise well-socialized and effective guardians? Wonder no more, because Bill Costanzo is here with the results of his research on these questions. Welcome to ⁠Farm Dog.⁠

The podcast about the working dogs of farming, ranching, homesteading, and rural living. Presented by Goats On The Go® and hosted by its founder, Aaron Steele. We discuss the fascinating history and current practice of humans working with dogs to make a living from the land. Our chats with experts cover breeds, training, on-farm experiences, and more. Herding (stockdogs) and livestock guardian dogs are frequent topics, but terriers, hunting dogs, and good ol' all-around farm dogs are up for discussion, too. If it produces, protects, or provides for our rural lives, we'll talk about it.
