nice views of Mika and Xlendi...and to mention the historical role of males vs females in the herd where males wander further as scouts to protect and females tend to stay closer with the herd....excellent kWM...
Wow. That dark blue water is beautiful! As kangal males get older, they often mellow and tend to listen better. At least that's what I've found. Mutual respect is so important with this relationship. Stubborn as they are, if you have a good relationship with them, they'll do anything for you...will definitely give their life up to save yours!
Nice video! Sadly, after training her weekly one-on-one with a professional trainer for 14 months, we have decided not to let our (obviously female) Ayla off her leash ever again outside our big garden. She listens, but once the defence mechanism kicks in, which despite the best treats, Turkish sausages and cheese,- it ALWAYS does, she is completely oblivious to the rest of the world besides the threat, which can even be a dog over 300 meters away. And she will go for it. Other times she finds out the other dog is actually a great toy-size and she will 'play' with it by picking it up in her mouth and shaking it around. The dog will be perfectly unharmed, she doesn't bite, but usually both the dog and the owner are not amused. So now it's a 8m leash for Ayla, which is great because she listens great on a leash, no pulling whatsoever (until another threat is found). But on the leash the Turkish sausages and cheese work to get her attention.
@ferrybel2472 I can understand that. I made sure early with Mika that there are consequences to not listening to me even when she swtiches on and somehow i got the message through. Its not easy and just like with humans Kangals differ from one to another. In the end there is no training that gives 100% results, I just got lucky with Mika. Careful with that 8m leash. I used it on kyle one time. Unfortunately he saw something and took off and as I watched the leash run out in slow motion horror, I ended up being Wiley Coyote. That was the last time i used it 😀
@@kangalwhisperermike7126 luckily Ayla is a smaller female 45 kg and I weight about 95kg. So if she tries that her head gets overtaken by her arse, BOINGGG :)
