Herd protection dogs - ATV : In mountain pastures, protection dogs are there to protect the herds from predators (wolves, etc.).When mountain biking, I adapt my behavior by going around the herd, pausing and getting off the bike so the dog can identify me.Find out more about the actions to adopt with the article "Protection dogs: a context and actions to adopt".Tell us about your meeting by answering this survey.
