The journey into the abyss of no return

[Baymule]

Good shot.

Lynx or Bobcat? Thinking lynx in your area.... Good shot

 

[SageHill]

Good shot! One less unwelcome eater.
We’ve got bobcats, but haven’t seen one for about a year.

 

[SageHill]

Oh oh —- just thought — nice skin, goning to tan it?

 

[SageHill]

It has too many teeth holes in it from Pooch. I'm tossing it in the slurry tank with the skunks we have taken down and few other critters to make a nice water spray for the "dusty" road.

You’ve got a wicked sense of humor

 

[Baymule]

Have you figured it out yet?

He’s telling you that he needs to go to work and he has decided the birds need his protection.

He has grown into a handsome young dog.

 

[Baymule]

I don’t think scaring him away is a good thing. He won’t forget that and will dredge up that memory when you really need him to come to you.

Patience grasshopper.

I'm with the others on the scare him away/back to work. Teach him "Go to work" -- take him there, tell him "watch em" / whatever, and leave. Repeat, repeat, etc - you know the drill as you've already trained him in so many things. This too needs "training" -- remember he's still a pup! Yeah I know hard to do sometimes.
My dogs know the difference between a walk to the barn - "Go Barn" and time to work - "Let's get sheep" -- of course they're not LGDs but I'd suspect that type of learning is the same.

 

[SageHill]

Yeah I tried that, guess I need to keep trying. Caught him trying to jump the fence this morning and scolded him for it, so far still in. In a few I will let him out and take him over to try again.

I know that only too well. They learn things fast and then we expect them to learn things we hardly work on comparatively just because they are SO GOOD at the other stuff. Yuppers - that's me and Zo.

Goes nuts because an LGD has an instinctive need to be with their herds.
