Training a dog to ignore most wildlife or any other sort of life is very
hard if you have a dog that is capable of removing a perceived
trespasser. Unless you are with them their discrimination of threat on
the basis of the nature of the animal/person concerned is poor unless it
is well known to them.

It is much easier to train such a one that while you are away what is IN
their territory is fair game and what is OUT is not. I have a red
kelpie who is the soul of discretion and enlightenment in public places.
Just don't jump my fence or touch my car when I am not around.
