Killer terrier

[blubitch 0]

Any advice we have a 2 Year old 12 inc 13 lb entire little black fell terrier she lives outside very affectionate with people and our other larger male dog ,Got her 4 months ago with the plans to do a bit of ratting and mayby a bit of bushing for rabbits but due to my ill health she is not working, She's a great little dog in many ways the only problem is that she wants to kill anything smaller than herself small dogs, chickens baby birds any advice in way to calm her down or do you think she's to old to change.

if it was a brave dog it wouldnt just go for things smaller than itself. tell it to pick on something its own size. its just a bully

[skycat 6,173]

If she's trying to kill small dogs it sounds as though either she wasn't socialised properly with other dogs when she was a pup, or she's just a nasty piece of work. IMO that won't change at her age.

thats a true terrier youve got your self there mate i keep ferrets and my oldest lakie has killed 2 this year so iam getting rid of them and buying another lakie its in them so why try taking it out atb mike.

Its got overkill the only way for it to calm ABIT is to give it plenty of wat it wants and more.I have a 7 month old beddy cross with the same mentality am just thankfull that its not shown no agression to other dogs due to being well socialised around a lot of dogs.atvb dell

HAS TO BE THE 1 OF THE MOST WORSE PIECES OF ADVICE I'VE EVER HEARD. GIVE IT WORK NOT A FCUKING LITTER OF PUPS.

[Bootsha 1,306]

Give it work till it gets sick of it, and then give it some more, try and channell the agression into something that's been bred into it for generations, and by the way, I doubt you'll give it enough work that it gets sick, unless its " hors de combat" as Mr Plummer used to say. But I think you'll always have to be mindfull of its habits if thats what lights it lemon. All the best with it.

PS

Give it some more work after that as well
