Jumping Boundaries


Book Description

This book is meant to be useful to anyone who is interested in having and working with a large guardian dog. In these pages I hope I have answered many of the questions that surround large guardian dogs and what these great animals are possible of.

Training and maintaining a large guardian dog can be very time consuming early in the training stages, but the reward is well worth the peace of mind one will experience for the years that follow. One of the best lessons I have learned is that our large guardian dogs are forgiving of my shortcomings as a herd and dog owner. Often they know and understand more about what is going on than I do. These dogs are endlessly loyal and can be incredibly beneficial and meaningful to you, your family and your farm.
