We’ve just launched two new fact sheets on utilizing Livestock Guardian Dogs (LGDs) for solar grazing.

Many solar graziers are deploying Livestock Guardian Dogs on sites to reduce predation and protect their flocks. Our new Best Practices for LGDs fact sheets provides useful information to graziers on best practices for managing the dogs on solar sites. The second fact sheet, “Why Are LGDs Essential for Solar Grazing?”, is designed to help educate solar asset owners and operators on the benefits of using guardian dogs on solar sites and on best practices and safety protocols.

The sheet covers information on bonding puppies with sheep from an early age and how to socialize LGDs for high-traffic solar sites. Additional sections involve consistency in training and understanding adolescent behavior.
