You gotta see Mink Man channel. He has mink for clearing muskrat from government property, dogs for clearing farms from rats, even a hunting lizard for his home. Plus he catches rats by hand as the dogs drive them out of their holes. The dogs work with the mink, too.
I watched his videos, but I don't understand your suggestion for Hans. Mink Man is beast tamer type. He's skillful in that aspect. However, there is little application of his approach to train/tame dogs and other exotic animals, for personal protection dog, working dogs.
@@thankmelater1254 He was joking, no? Multiple dog household topic which discussed also about situation where owner may as well just keep one dog if he/she fails to take leadership position and spend quality time separately with individual dog!!! There are dogs breeds that was selectively bred for ratting without any kind of formal training. Taking and training exotic animals doesn't make one great dog trainer than those who actually proved themselves in dog training. If you want to compare, I can certainly tell you that I am much better dog trainer even for barn hunting, or hunting, not just protection or sports than Mink Man. I see Mr.Hans as someone at higher level in many aspect.
Always helpful, thank you! We would like to add another shepherd to our family. We currently have a 6-year-old female GSD, who is truly an amazing dog. I would like to add a working line dog, for all the reasons Hans recommends them, but because I don’t know much about the differences, I am hesitant. I would say that my female is well above average in prey and defense drive. She was quite a handful for me when she was young. Consequently, I have learned a lot in the process of getting her to where she is now. Is there such thing as a lower drive working line, such that it might not be a huge difference from my high drive show line?
Makes me happy that I’m able to leave my 1.5 year old gsd uncrated while I leave the house. He’s to obsessed with firearm tracking that he’ll just lay infront of the safe the whole time 😂
