RULES OF CONDUCT FOR GUARD DOGS AND MOTHER COWS
During encounters on trails
Guard dogs can provide efficient protection for livestock from wolves and bears. They protect their herd independently by day and night and in all weather conditions. When disturbed, the dogs become suspicious. Therefore, it is important to plan your hikes carefully in advance and to approach the dogs with respect and tolerance in case of an encounter. It is similar with the mother cows and their offspring. The primary goal of the mother cows is to protect their calves.
Put your dog on a leash
Get off your bike and push it
Keep as much distance as possible from the herd
Stay calm and walk slowly
Do not touch the calves
