The podcast about the working dogs of farming, ranching, homesteading, and rural living. Presented by Goats On The Go® and hosted by its founder, Aaron Steele.
We discuss the fascinating history and current practice of humans working with dogs to make a living from the land. Our chats with experts cover breeds, training, on-farm experiences, and more. Herding dogs (stockdogs) and livestock guardian dogs are frequent topics, but terriers, hunting dogs, and good ol' all-around farm dogs are up for discussion, too. If it produces, protects, or provides for our rural lives, we'll talk about it.

Ep. 75: Picking puppies with purpose (Haley Hunewill)
Haley Hunewill knows what she wants in a stockdog puppy, and they’re not around every corner. She’s looking for something that is somewhere in-between the usual cow dog and sheep dog border collie lines. Her advice on puppy selection in this part two of our interview can help you turn the odds in your favor when selecting a pup for yourself. Welcome to Farm Dog.

Ep. 74: Real work, and sheep dogs vs. cattle dogs (Haley Hunewill)
For a stockdog, what is “real work” on a farm or ranch, and how is it different than a competitive trial? Is real work necessary for developing a well-rounded stockdog? What does "well-rounded" even mean, and for that matter, is it really all that important? Rancher, trainer, and trialer, Haley Hunewill is here to tell us. Welcome to Farm Dog.

Ep. 73: Stockdogs and startups (Ross Turner)
You know that old joke about how to make a small fortune in farming or ranching? Start with a large fortune. Well, how do you become an old, highly experienced professional stockdog trainer? Start when you’re young, of course. But more than that, recognize the value you have to offer, have the guts to charge what you’re worth, and keep learning. Welcome to Farm Dog.

Ep. 72: Can all breeds be stockdogs? (Terry Parrish)
Have you ever wondered why tee ball and little league and slow pitch softball exist in a world where there’s Major League Baseball? Of course you haven’t. We all know those low-level sports are valuable for players even though they’re not the best of the best, and everybody has to start somewhere. So why would we dismiss dogs and handlers who play in the herding minor leagues? Welcome to Farm Dog.

Ep. 71: LGD training is not remotely impossible (Cindy Benson)
Imagine an early livestock guardian dog, laying out under the stars thousands of years ago, next to a band of sheep and goats somewhere in what is now Turkey. He sniffs the air and peers into the moonlit night searching for threats as his shepherd snores, and he thinks, “If only this bozo had Zoom and Cindy Benson, we might just understand each other.” Welcome to Farm Dog.

Ep. 70: Bonus! The Dogs that Made Australia, Part 2 (Guy Hull)
Australia is a large place with a larger than life history, shaped in large part by its dogs. Guy Hull, author of the book, The Dogs that Made Australia, joined us last week for part one of a large interview. Not listening to Episode 69 or part two of the interview in this episode would be a very large mistake. Welcome to Farm Dog.

Customer Reviews
I am so enjoying your podcast!!! What a wealth of information!
Danelle fenley
Amazing show!!
I just stumbled upon this show and I am thoroughly enjoying it! It’s very helpful and informative. I would absolutely love for him to do a episode on Shetland sheepdogs! (if they haven’t already as I am currently searching)
Entertaining for non-farmers, too
I’m a dog lover and dog walker in an urban area—pretty far away from farm life, but I love to hear about how dogs support their guardians and families in different contexts. Right now I’m learnng about farm dogs. Aaron Steele is an entertaining and genial host—I like his approach. So far my favorite episode is the one about Australian ranchers who have huge land tracts. Keep up the good work!
