Do you find yourself frustrated by trying to decide what Livestock Guardian Dogs to buy? Do you have troubles with young pups? Are you confused on how many LGDs you should run, or if you should have two, or three, or more?Look no further. Finally, a book is here for you that is crammed with chapters, photographs, resources and more will keep you what you need to learn about LGDs. From young pups till old timers, and everything in between, The Way of The Pack will keep you packed with what you need to know with LGDs. The Way of The Pack: Understanding and Living With Livestock Guardian Dogs is a holistic, kinder, spiritual, intelligent and compassionate path for shepherds using LGDs to effect co-existence with predators, and, by keeping livestock safe using non-lethal means, help restore and keep balance in nature. I want to show you a way that has worked for me, my dogs, and my customers and their dogs, for many years. It hope that this book will lay out much needed practical advice based on compassion, trust, patience, consistency and respect based on my experience. This is The Way of The Pack: a way that is based on these five core values in living with, the use and training of Livestock Guardian Dogs: Patience - do not expect too much, too soon and give the LGD pup time to mature Compassion - do not use harsh or cruel training methods or gadgets Respect - respect shown to your LGD will be returned Trust - allow the pup or dog to show you what he is capable of doing Consistency - dogs, like people, appreciate a routine and a level of predictability Nothing happens fast in the maturation of a LGD pup, thus, man needs patience. Cruelty towards LGDs only begets fear, anxiety and loathing thus compassion is paramount. Respect of these dogs garners respect and loyalty from them in return. Trusting an LGD enables the dog to fulfill its potential and destiny. Consistency builds contentment and security and reduces the dog's fear of the unknown. Along with many chapters you'll read posts on chapters such as Finding a Good LGD Mentor; The Advances of Running Littermate; Feeding Your LGDs; Mentor LGDs; LGDs in Bear & Lion Country; Using Herding & Guardian Dogs Together and many more. More than 40 chapters are included in this book, along with tons of great, recommended reading and resources. This is a book that you'll read again and again, and never put down. What I prescribe in this book is nothing new. It is ancient. It is profound in its humble simplicity. I am no master, no guru of new training. I'm only one who opened their eyes and emptied their cup to see and learn from my pack of LGDs an ancient, more compassionate and ultimately better way to own, train, use and live with Livestock Guardian Dogs. The Way of The Pack: Understanding and Living With Livestock Guardian Dogs is time for a new change. It is simple, it is profound, and it will make you stop and think. Now, it is your turn.
