Herd protection dogs
In mountain pastures, protection dogs are there to protect the herds from predators (wolves, etc.). When I hike I adapt my behavior by going around the herd and pausing for the dog to identify me. Find out more about the actions to adopt with the article "Protection dogs: a context and actions to adopt". Tell us about your meeting by answering this survey.
