^^^^^ YES! Actually I think I saw it on TV.

People who were out in the sticks on a survival show, I think it was alaska or canada, had a pack of wolves nearby and so they did "number ones" round the cabin and the wolves and bears stayed away...
It worked!

Slightly different situation but there you go.

So get MARKING YOUR TERRITORY lol

This may be an odd suggestion... but I've heard it works for people out in the sticks, so this may be worth trying for someone that live out on significant acreage.

If large predators cross your property on their route (coyotes, mountain lions etc), host a huge extended family barbecue. Feed the gents LOTS of meat and some beer. Then send everyone out to "mark" your territory!

It seems the animals prefer not to get into the territory of another large carnivore.

Interesting...Just Might try it...?

I don't know much about Cocker Spaniels being used as LGD's but I would think that you'd be better off getting a larger breed with a history that is bred for guarding or herding livestock. Just my opinion though, I am no expert on the matter for sure. I was thinking of adding a Rottweiler to my pack of LGD's but I am thinking that the breeds prey drive could be too high.
