An interesting perspective with a lot of truth.

Yup.

But while sheepdogs act with much instinct aren't their behaviors also governed by the training of their owners?

Any owner who trains his sheepdog to be nice to the wolves will lose his sheep.

Or more importantly, can or does a sheepdog discern between a wolf that will feed versus a wolf that's satisfied?

If the wolf is satisfied, its already too late.

What again is a wolf?
A radical Islamist.

your New Year's resolution should be to try to make sense once in a while...since you like this wolf analogy...

a) the wolf will always become hungry again(never satisfied)
b) the wolf becomes more emboldened each time if feeds successfully
c) other wolves will follow emboldened by the success of the first wolf
d) the wolf doesn't care whether the sheepdog views it as ready to feed or satisfied, it's going to feed at the next best opportunity
e) navel gazing sheepdogs and shepherds pondering how to coexist with the wolves and whether or not they are ready to feed or feeling satified at that moment will surely lose their flock
