A Day in the Life of Toby the Guard Dog (Livestock Guardian Dog at Work)

I ordered my Toby Dog book from Amazon - can't wait for it to get here 😍

What kind of dog did u call him. Looks like a Great Pyr

Hope you will always care for him till he cannot serve you as a guardian dog anymore

Have you seen the video of Casper the Anatolian Shepherd who protected his farm from 11 coyotes? He ran away the first four days, after he was injured, then when he came back his owner took him to an emergency vet. They put Manuka honey on his wounds and had to amputate half of his tail!!! He did his job, protected his flock, amazing dogs! This is why we love dogs.

These dogs are becoming the must have dog for the local drug dealers and thugs in my area. They leave them in the front yard to protect themselves. This is in the UK and in a small terraced street with whole housing plots being 5x20 meters.

Loved the Smashing Pumpkins reference and chip tune. Very fun that came up as it was my favorite band and I just wanted to watch a dogs day. Some days life feels made just for you ❤

Dude the birds can go to bed by themselves
Just a reminder

I love how Toby plays with Pablo hahah

I have a 8 week old G Pyrenees name Atticus. I am so attached to him and his personality is like no other. He has another dog Marlo as a friend but I haven’t acquired my livestock as of yet. Just starting to try to get some fenced. I’m by my self on quite a bit of land and being female it’s slow motion. Really Enjoy your Channel!

For me it's UNLEASH THE QUACKEN! But yeah it's just fun. Enjoy the little things

Loved this video. This is my dream life

It would be nice to believe you would give Toby a special food instead of such icky food for him Where are Toby treats given to him without all the quackers around. He is a very special dog. It would of been nice to see you bring him in and just give him a nice afternoon of love. It would not hurt and it would certainly add to his quality of life. 🧐❤️

It's More than 2 yrs ago Toby is a great 🐕😊❤

Absolutely beautiful dog. think about getting him some backup.

I can hardly recognize the old footage of you.

It was fun ❤❤❤❤❤

Toby is a very professional and dedicated worker!

Just found your channel, it is Great and I Love watching ALL Your Animals!!!

Those pumpkins are also a natural dewormer

I always love seeing dogs like toby outside living life like this. It's so nice to see them in the habitat they were born for.

Polar bear.

Toby sleeps on the high ground, where guardian dogs set themselves up. I don't think he is playing dead. If you slept outside your whole life, you would need a back scratch every once in a while also.

We’re planning to add ducks to our homestead and a Maremma Dig or two to guard them. We’re in Northern AZ. Heavy predator pressure. I’m wondering if Toby has encountered predators and, if so, what happened. Do you have heavy predator pressure where you are in Vermont?

The Pauli shore reference 😂

Do your neighbors watch your videos??😃😃

Nite barking...agree with Lorena. You're the first to mention the 'okayness of that. Especially the Pyrenees line. So many of those excellent dogs are ruined because their owners don't learn to understand the breed. They've guarded stock for centuries over 100s of acres. They know, genetically, what to do. Toby gets to rest after you're up. I've never known a better dog.

I would love to see more videos like this..thank you!❤

Awesome dog just got a hybrid of a pit great Pyrenees shes the best

Dogs DON'T need to bark all night. Bad, incompetent owners can't even smack a dog when it barks for no reason.

You kind of confused me. the video showed you putting the geese to bed, and you letting them out in the morning, but then they were out all night with Toby?
A few comments. #1 we have a German Sheppard, that also barks at whatever it is she may see or hear outside at night, sometimes she is heard barking all night.......and it's no different in the day. Yet I went outside the other day when the chickens were making a huge fuss....and there was a fox sitting in the chicken run. So barking does not deter all predators.
#2 would you suggest a male or female LGD? You mentioned that Toby was marking his territory, a girl would not do that. So are girls not so good to use?
#3 do you have any problem with the birds eating Toby's waste? I have found chickens and water foul to be......well......foul with what they will eat......yuck
#4 thanks so much for this video, it was very entertaining. Especially the duck named quackie Chan, the goose doing a face plant, and the clip from son in law. Thank you for the laughs.
By the way, your duck/goose run is HUGE.

I always imagine farms as being very peaceful and quiet at night. With Mr. Toby nearby, maybe not so much!

He seems a lot like our GPyr mix. It seems like he never sleeps. You can't sneak up on him, even if he's sprawled out on the floor, the way most dogs would be sleeping. He'd be outside barking forever if he could. I think he'd love his own flock to watch, but his momma person tries to make him an inside dog.

I bet he’s happier than 99% of city and suburban dogs

yes makemore a bout toby

Beautiful kuvas. My best friend was also a beautiful girl, her precious name was Maci. He was the best in every field, a real pack leader who didn't want to be a pack leader

❤❤❤❤

I am new to you videos & your Awesome dog Toby. He is so beautiful & devoted to you & your family & his animal family.
I also saw what you fed him & I have some concerns about his diet.
I always heard that dry Kibbles are not good for dogs or cats & especially would not have enough nutrition for a Magnificent Guard Dog like Toby .. He should also have healthy wet food & more food than the little bit that I saw in his bowl.
I also watched a video from RAVENTREE RANCH & they feed their Guard Dogs a special & very healthy diet.. & give their dogs more food..They are Beautiful & very large dogs that run around & work hard every night protecting their family.
Would you please check out what they feed their Guard Dogs & other Guard families too for Toby sake.? He is a big boy & his body requires more food than a average dog does. Most working dog his size need both wet & dry food & I noticed that they always feed them raw eggs.
I love Toby & all animals ... 💞🐕💞🐈💞
If I'm wrong, then I Apologize... 😢
I will continue watching your channel along with others. It is fascinating to watch them work, especially as a team. They are much more protected when they have other guard dogs to work with them as a team & have close companions too.
Thank you for letting me share my feelings & ideas.
Toby is a Beautiful & Magnificent Guard Dog 🥰🐕💞🐕💞

So did he ever get the thawed goose egg, or what? ^_^

Type of dog?

I loved it! Also, Pablo can hear when the electric fence is on, so no worries there.

He needs a mate. I got 2 and they are best friends. Gives them something to do and back up if something happens. Great dog tho. Love your farm

I love this!!! Please another day of life for Toby ❤

Toby seems like a real treasure on your farm!! 😊

I’m a new subscribe to your channel, a Day in the life of Toby, caught my eye and now I can’t stop watching Toby lol I really love the connection that you have with your animals, they’re not just another number on the farm. ❤

I have 9 ducks and my great pyrenees loves chasing them. Just scares the crap out of my ducks lol. What can i do to help train him to protect them instead of running them off. He is still a pup but hopefully I can figure out a way

Toby is a special dog period

Hi. is toby an akbash?
