Not really nature though, he's using artificially bred dogs to protect artificially bred sheep

And dogs themselves are one of the earliest human genetic engineering successes nature isn’t natural and technology is natural. People tend to forget that humans are also nature if we were a normal animal people would care that we eradicate species as this happens in nature too but because we can think it’s all a big problem now. Nature is change and while I agree that we need to protect our environment and ecosystems there are boundaries if an animal endangers us it will be removed where is the difference between eradicating illnesses or pests and if an animal endangers us it has become a pest. Of course the specific situation here is much different as Wolfes mostly fear humans. Though this wasn’t always the case and especially in the 17th century there were many reports of wolf attacks I would argue that our hunt of wolves and their eradication from much of Europe was the cause making them afraid of humans but now the wolves become bolder. So the question is what to do.

Exactly, out in the wild with a purpose, well fed and trained

Yep! Anyone who would think otherwise doesn't understand genetics. Doesn't understand dogs were created for purposes. It's a natural want for them. My neighbors have Akbash you couldn't get them in the house if you tried. I've watched them bolt out the backdoor to go be with their chickens and ducks.

its not even entirely training, they are pack animals anyway so the training is pretty much just nurturing their primal behaviours

Work dogs live for it.👍

@@calipto4605 a lot of dog training is just explaining to the dog who is in the "pack" and who is the boss (usually not the dog)

Almost all dogs work in this manner if they are given something to protect; but very few dogs will attack people unless provoked. I've always managed encounters this way and have never had an issue. This is just good advice.

If it should go up and down?

Sounds like a movie where there's a prologue about a young family tragically killed after they find their barn in the property they just bought is full of dogs. They end up dying from a bear attack and a few dogs die as well. The dogs without a master return to a feral state and roam to survive. They're told the dogs need to be put down but this old Clint Eastwood says he's never had to put down a dog and that's humans giving up on them because they're lazy . Cause hes this old country guy who is a dog whisperer. But he's older and has no flock anymore in his retirement. Just like a blind dog that's also old. And they take the dogs out to his farm after live capturing them. He buys a flock of sheep and gets to work. Especially with the dog that was previously injured and scarred by the bear who is most skeptical, stubborn and aggressive. And he works with them a lot, getting bit a few times and such. And the old dog works with him to whip them them into shape and they're now a pack of good doggos. The old man loses his dog to a wolf while protecting a sheep with a newborn lamb. The old man later dies as well leaving the pack and flock alone, supposing they revert back to normal once they again have no master. But years later a local guide is going through the same general area of the farm and they hear barking in the distance. The tourists then are concerned about a possible confrontation with the dogs. The guide informs and what they're hearing is the "Ghost pack" where an old man once had this crazy idea of taking feral LGD and giving them purpose again. This is that pack. They grow even more concerned but the guide interrupts and tells them they're in no danger because even after the old man died they continue to protect a flock of sheep and generations later they still do, sustaining a sustained population of dogs and sheep and never again having attacked a person again, just loyally guarding the flock. They roam the mountains with this flock now, even masterless. The dogs are rarely ever seen and recent sightings have stopped years back, only barks sounding from the forests and mountains. Some say they have since passed away from natural causes, the ghosts of the dogs barking as if to continue their work in the afterlife, never forgetting the second chance given to them. Cut scene to the flock and sheep living happily. Then to where the old man buried his dog, the collar hanging on a cross to mark the grave. Then to the post on the old man's porch where he cut a notch for every dog he ever fully trained , about 15 of them newer than the others but still somewhat faded with time. The end

@@katkitty104 beautiful 😭

@@zanguusu Probably not. Still, when you find yourself in the middle of fucking nowhere surrounded by a bunch of growling polar bears I guarantee you that a pit bull is gonna look about as dangerous as a Labrador puppy 😂😅

My first thought is that these dogs were somehow abandoned, even if that's bc the owner died, and formed a pack. Packs of stray dogs can be really dangerous. In areas where stray dogs are common, the behaviors of the dogs will be monitored to make sure they don't form too strong a pack and if they do, people will break up the pack so as to prevent harm to humans. When my sister was in medical school in Dominica, she received an urgent message from her school like one would receive a weather alert notifying her that a pack of dogs was forming and how to keep safe. Stray dogs themselves were everywhere and of no concern. It was the packs.

Imagine conversation in 10000 years: A: I've heard that humans used to rule the world years ago and the sheeps used to listen to them. B: yea i know but right now sheeps rule everything, thanks to the predators protecting them forever. C: No predator ever got close to the flock for a thousand years now. Sheeps are unbeatable.

@Al Debaran lmaooo

pretty sure we domesticated dogs way earlier than we domesticated animals like sheep

@@swedneck well there are different theories on the history of domestication, but long story short not necessarily, or to be precise: not everywhere. While there have been hunting nomads that started domesticating dogs (estimated somewhere between 15.000 and 100.000 b.c.), it is likely that wild versions of sheep, goat and cow have been held as some form of caged livestock as soon as nomads started settling down for some parts of the year. Chasing the herds into big caged areas was probably used as a reaction to the lowering numbers of wild animal population (caused by hunting them too much within a certain area). Other animals (like pigs, chicken, guinea pigs, ducks and doves) probably chose to be living near humans even before the were actually domesticated, as they were profiting off of each other, and somewhat domesticated themselves in order to have an easier life. Dogs partially came in earlier in some regions, but in others, they were brought in later.

Yeah it's very helpful. I think I'd more rather see areas of wolves and bears though. If you run into a guardian dog, just walk away, you're not going to get harmed. If you run into a pack of wolves, things might get a bit more scary.

@@fredrikbystrom7380 Thanks for stating the obvious but, You obviously never ran into shepherd dogs in Turkey and alike.. They are vicious dogs that can take on wolves one on one. Hence my comment.. Wolves and bears are definitely not the subject of this video or my comment.

@@fredrikbystrom7380 wolfs have an instinctive respect for humans and would rather keep their distance than attack even when in a large pack. bears are naturaly shy towards confrontations and are easily scared off. a guard dog on the other hand will never back off or avoid confronting you to the death if youre on its turf.

This is a good challenge, anyone have a count of how many times he says it in the video?

I tried the challenge but I ran out of bullets. The range target is Swiss now though.

I'm dying of alcohol poisoning

Drinker_Of_ Milk it’s not staged, those are real guardian dogs working with their real owner who speaks in another language in the video. The narrator literally explains why the dogs are vocal yet not aggressive. Instead, they’re very vocal to alert both the herd and humans while discouraging predators. Guardian dogs aren’t vicious snarling guard dogs or pit bulls, they’re just very loud barkers. Snarling and baring teeth doesn’t make for loud alarm barking

Just for the record, and just because I don’t think anyone else mentioned it; a wagging tail on a dog, does not necessarily mean “let’s play”, it’s just a physical display of excitement. What the actual form the excitement may take, is usually displayed in other physical displays of the dog - eg. head down/head up, ears back/ears up, hackles presented/or not, foot-work, and other submissive or dominant displays within the situation.

I have a CAS guardian dog. Yes, they warn without a ton of aggression. However, they will rapidly escalate should you choose not to follow their instructions. The last few people that decided to disregard the warnings have some nice scars. They also got pinned into a corner until I arrived. Its all tough talk until 140lbs of eff you and teeth are teaching you a lesson.

When a dog wags their tail from one side to another (like the guard dogs in the video were doing), it doesn't just mean they're happy. It could mean they're ready to take action or another indicator that they're aggressive/ready to behave aggressively. Some dogs may wag their tail before or during a fight with another dog/animal/human. Along with warning/aggressive barking these dogs definitely portrayed aggressive behaviour. But if a dog is wiggling/moving their butt from side to side along wagging their tail in a circular/helicopter wag, this most likely means they're happy and/or friendly. As well, the interactions in the video are most likely real, even if they knew about the guard dogs & how to act around them they would still have been in danger had they not followed the direction given on how to act around the dogs.

@@AnonyMous-jf4lc 100% so many morons making these comments think they can fight off a LGD. While they are generally not aggressive towards humans, if you continue towards their herd and they don’t want you to or if you try to “assert dominance” that’s a whole lot of dog that’s ready to fuck you up. Most people don’t realize that for these dogs their whole goal is to keep their herd safe so if you’re going to interfere with that, they’ll interfere with you. My Pyr makes certain everyone knows that

@@Emily27587 They probably train them just as they do in the video. Let them live with the sheep.

@@darkiee69 I’d say that is a pretty fair assessment. This particular dog ate and slept with the sheep and acted as though the sheep were a part of his pack. The dog was essentially the head of the pack in charge of keeping his pack safe and out of harm. I see this dog quite a bit as it lives in a farm not too far from me. There are a lot of bears in the area and I’ve heard that this dog has fought off a number of bears, as well as coyotes, hawks, and other predators that try to prey on the young sheep and goats. If the dog views you as a threat to his pack, he has all the right to protect himself and the rest of the animals.

where do i buy one

All fun and games until the suit gets stuck and you can’t take it off, so the guardian dog won’t let you leave the flock. You won’t be free until the farmer tries to sheer you.

That works a lot of times but here's a tip from personal experience if a bear attacks you make weird noises rather than running like a human. Cause let's be real a sheep running on two legs is one of the tastiest snack for a bear.

They are actually trained to try and chase the predator away instead of attacking, they are a great alternative to protect a herd because of that reason

Even as late as 150 years ago, in the US, wolves in packs could and would kill you and your family for lunch if they could. Not to mention what they would do to livestock, which humans depended on for survival. People who bemoan the fate of apex predators have never actually ever seen one, let alone lived near them. Humans have competed with better predators during our entire history. One way to eliminate that contest, which we often lost, is to kill them all. Let me know how you feel about reintroducing apex predators into your living area after they kill and eat one of your young. The Gods of the Copybook Headings note your concern with interest, and amusement.

@Demon Slayer this behaviour is natural instinct in this breed. Humans have, admittedly, exploited them for this trait . That isn't my point, my point is that humans should learn to respect these dogs and learn more about the way they communicate to avoid conflict.
