Puppy Guardian Program

Ages: 0–7 Months

Every great guardian starts with the right foundation. Our Puppy Guardian Program is designed to introduce young LGDs to ranch life safely and positively — setting the groundwork for calm, confident, livestock-safe behavior from the start.

Program Includes (based on age and duration of program):

  • Early socialization with livestock (sheep, goats, poultry)

  • Desensitization to ranch noises, vehicles, and predator scents

  • Crate, leash, and boundary training

  • Safe livestock introductions under handler supervision

  • Health check, vaccinations, microchip, and GPS collar setup

  • Updates with photos and/or videos

Puppies leave confident, social, and ready for continued on-farm development — the first step in raising a reliable working LGD.

ROI in Action: Early-trained LGDs are proven to deliver long-term herd protection and savings, reducing losses from the very first season.
