- The Hunter’s unique Professional Wild Dog Controller Program has reached a milestone, removing more than 300 wild dogs in just under the three years since it was launched.
The program is supported by Hunter Local Land Services, the Hunter Valley Combined Wild Dog Association, Australia Wool Innovation and local land managers including Glencore, Bengalla, Yancoal, MACH Energy, Forestry NSW, National Parks and Wildlife Service and FeralScan.
The program was developed after increasing dog attacks were being reported, particularly impacting outlying sheep properties which was affecting confidence in the local industry.
Now under the Professional Wild Dog Controller Program, three fulltime professional controllers are available to assist local producers target and remove these problem wild dogs across the Upper Hunter using a combination of strategic and reactive methods.
Producers must be a member of their local wild dog association to be eligible to participate in this program.
For the last 18 months all fees associated with the program have been waived, as part of Hunter Local Land Services drought support to local producers.
Landholders can report wild dog activity to Hunter Local Land Services Biosecurity team by calling 1300 795 299.
Good to see the donkey, great defenders of sheep flocks and other farm animals. Great video.
Terrific work ⭐️⭐️⭐️🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
Here in Patagonia, the ranchers are starting yo used protectors dogs against, wild dogs, foxes, and pumas with excellent results .Saludos from Patagonia Argentina.
Great to see what Tim is doing and the professionalisms in his program
Awesome work Tim Booth! Great program, great work!
I enjoyed watching this presentation, it was very informative in a relaxed manner. Both presenters knew their brief and asked sensible and searching questions. However in the "Eye Candy" department it's a case of...sorry Richard but Penny wins...no contest. Wishing you all well in your endeavours during these trying times, keep safe and continue your good work.
Been out with Tim a few times Great to see him and watch what he does .
Great job well done hunters again working with the environment
Thanks for all your hard work eradicating these pests!! What stops the native wildlife from eating the poison baits, though?
donkeys and mule's also work quite well
What a fantastic initiative. Great to see I only wish this was around when I was a younger hunter.
I'm seeing a large dingo coloured dog on my cattle property and I'm missing calves. I'm near Barrington, is there a group I can join?
Why are there so many dead skinny trees and fire wood everywhere
That's New Zeland?
Nah Aussie mate
It’s the hunter valley NSW
If it was new Zealand, it wouldn't be the dogs chasing the sheep! 😉

Why not work with PETA, the Humane Society International, or the Humane Society of the United States to catch and relocate these dogs????? There are so many organizations that could help resolve this in a more kind way...
Once they start killing livestock they’ll never stop doing it the only way to stop them is to eradicate them.
They CANNOT be rehabilitated.
A farmer I know lost 225 lambs over 2 seasons and a large number of ewes too dogs.
Where would you relocate them to ,and which organisation would do this
@@gregstephens361 There are many places in the world that don't have many dogs available. There are people who would welcome these dogs with open arms into their families! As for the organizations that can transport dogs, I listed 3 of them in my original comment (PETA, the Humane Society International, or the Humane Society of the United States).
sorry but these dogs will kill you or any child in seconds. they are not the cuddly type dog we have at home. compare them to a wild wolf. you would not try to domesticate them as it takes a generation. relocation also implies that you trap them. then you would need to handle and transport them. unfortunately there is no market or organisation that will pay people to do that. if there was, people would already be doing it.
Never trust a pest controller. They just want places to go hunting. Half of them are boundary crossing poachers.
How dare native Dingoes bite a few invasive sheep and reduce the profits of the select few.
Says you with lamb chops in your mouth.
@@jonglewongle3438 Actually haven't had lamb more than three or four times since I left the property 24 years ago and butchered my own crossies. No flavour compared to old man salt bush lamb. Basically all the poor buggas ate as well as mallee bush, but mate they had some flavour.
