    You're her hero that's pretty obvious Steven. Sure hope there's not another situation that scares her as badly.
    Even though my Tuk is an unusually large lab, he's not brave in the least, so has also come running to me for
    protection and assurance, of course nothing like yours though. I only hope I don't let him down in the future
    should he come to me for help.

    What kind of dog?
    Dog been around many bears?
    Been thinking of a thread on this very topic...... I know there are many good breads out there for some bear defence. I think the question is what are guys doing to train there dogs to stand there ground. I know no dog is a match for a full on fight but many dogs are good at corralling the bear and running in circles. Not bringing the bread back to the owner is key.

    Anyone had much experience with training dogs to keep bears at bay? Not talking about hounds to tree bears.

    Hmmm our dog is a overweight purebred black lab.zero experience with bears .
    The outfitter i worked for at Ghost lake had wolf hybrid dogs BIG dogs that kept even grizzlies at distance, when we tented it we always kept at least 2 wolf hybrids staked to the frame..never any issues..
    I wasn't thinking of bears while feeding Ebony. .however her response of running to me, and trying to hide between my legs was in retrospect not surprising or unexpected..
    What was surprising was Ebony just went behind the truck, was only out of my sight for under 30 seconds..and all this happened at the truck. .interesting it is also a boat launch..day camping area so human interaction is expected..and this bear is a mature adult who most assurance has had human contact of some sort.he responded immediately, instantly to my voice..from where I stood at the rear door of quad door f350 to rear of truck..15 feet?..too close. .

    Thankful
    Steven
