I love this episode! We are moving to East Tennessee near the smoky mountains to start homesteading and the first animal we are going to get is a dog! We plan to utilize them on the homestead mostly for safety. There are bears near the property and we are going to get elkhounds to help protect livestock. These dogs are known for hunting big game- they make the game stop on their tracks. It’s such a cool instinct!

Thank you

Fantastic interview! I got an Aussie Shepard in Dec and would LOVE to train her to herd my sheep. I just had no idea how to start. Lots of good information in this episode.

Dogs are awesome if working dogs Otherwise they’re bored Period They get destructive and aggressive Give them work
