Guard dogs and wildlife: a delicate balance

In addition to the waste of precious energy, there is the change in behavior to be evaluated

Disturbance and stress

Livestock guarding dogs are essential for protecting livestock, but their impact on non-target wildlife (i.e., wild animals) requires uncommon attention. It's not just about killing (which is rare), but also about disturbance and stress, which can have knock-on effects on wildlife.

Abandonment of offspring

Among the main consequences is energy expenditure: even non-lethal pursuits waste vital energy in wild animals, especially at critical moments. Equally significant is the abandonment of dens and nests. The stress caused by the dog's presence can lead animals to abandon their offspring or their refuges, compromising their survival.

Species at risk

Finally, behavioral modification cannot be underestimated: odor signals danger and pushes wild species to avoid areas crucial to their lives, including some endangered species (source: AB – Agrivenatoria Biodiversitalia).
