stubby 175 Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 what I did kay, was get a tube of ferret paste, the jrt loves the stuff, then putting a big blob on the wire, so both ferts and dog are licking it at the same time, from different sides of mesh, she soon got used to them, Quote Link to post
The one 8,503 Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 Only you can decide if she's trustworthy its really hard with a older dog to break them and when there working in the heat of the moment she might snap you will never totally know Quote Link to post
