Join the Rocky Mountain Front Ranchlands Group and the Western Landowners Alliance on Dec. 6 for a one day workshop in Choteau, Montana highlighting the perspectives and experiences of landowners and managers who use dogs to reduce conflict with large carnivores on private and public lands.
Dogs are a versatile tool for reducing conflicts in multiple rangeland settings: from the yard, to the pasture, to the open range. Yet, choosing the correct breed to fit your specific context and needs can be challenging. To highlight the diversity of uses for dogs, presentations and informal table conversations will offer opportunities to interface with multiple dog breeds and their owners and handlers.
Through attending this workshop, you will gain an understanding of the diverse uses and applications for dogs to protect livestock and human safety in rangeland settings.
