Hi all, I am a first time pyr owner and we brought our 7 month old boy home yesterday. He was not leash trained but has already picked up on it very well and so far has been a dream. The main reason we got him was so that he could watch over our livestock.
He is already goat trained and I am working on chicken training him, which he has seemed to have picked up on already even in this short period of time. We live on a 45 acre property, with our house being almost smack dab in the middle of it, our closest neighbor is probably about a mile away. The property is mostly wooded, but where the house is located is probably about 10-12 acres of space with a natural fence line of trees. My main question is, we want him to eventually be able to run around the property at night without supervision and keep an eye on the livestock. We recently lost two goats to stray dogs and three chickens to a bobcat. I have been working on boundary training him and he has not been off a leash since he's been here. At night and when we're not home he's put up in a fenced in enclosure. Has anyone been successful in letting their pyrs off leash? He is outside only
