Kelpies as guardian dogs. This video explores how the kelpie can be an integral part of your backyard livestock system. This video shows how to train a kelpie so it is 100% safe around free ranging chickens and ducks. We have included a step by step plan to desensitize, train and ensure your dog bonds with your flock. While nothing compares to the security provided by a Great Pyrenees, Anatolian Shepherd and a Maremma (when it comes to protective instincts) this video shows how a kelpie can integrate perfectly into a backyard flock. Furthermore it shows you how you can use the kelpies’ natural herding instincts as a valuable training and control tool.
