Feeding your livestock guardian dog

Feeding a livestock guardian dog isn’t pet advice — it’s farm management.

In this practical guide, I break down exactly how I feed my working LGDs to build:

• Strong bone and joint development
• Stable temperament
• Reduced roaming
• Lower food aggression
• Reliable boundary behavior
• Long-term working durability

This chapter covers:

✔ Puppy feeding (8 weeks to 6 months)

✔ Adolescent & adult feeding systems

✔ Raw + kibble strategy

✔ Why I pre-soak kibble (and why it matters)

✔ How to stop sheep & goats from stealing dog feed

✔ Morning vs night feeding (and why consistency matters)

✔ Using feeding time to inspect GPS & training collars

✔ Full troubleshooting section (skinny dog, overweight dog, fighting, not eating)

If you run livestock and depend on your dogs, feeding is not just nutrition — it’s control and stability.
