advice on terrier pup

[stumann 5]

Hi all, i've just bought a lakeland/jack russell she is 3 1/2 months old who i want to use for ratting on my farm and as a bushing dog.

 

I am a lurcher man and am wanting advice on the best way to train the terrier as i have no other terriers for her to learn off

 

here is a picture of her...

a terrier around a farm will pick ratting up pretty easy buy its self catch one in a trap would help as for bushing i all ways have a learner if not i used to use stones throw one here and there it will soon have a look or pick sents up

most terriers will learn to hunt rats by themselfs mate it should be in them i would wait another 3 or 4 months and just point her in the right direction

if you`ve got a farm with rats get someone off here to come and show you the ropes be carfull who you chose tho - she might just get going on her own - dig a few out see how she go`s .

I`d let her be a puppy to start with with plenty of love and attention,socialising especially with other dogs, concentrate on breaking to stock etc, learn her basic commands, give her something to play and rag on till her second teath come on and start her on greys, let her watch other dogs do it and it will come naturally with a bit of encouragement, all above will pay off in the long run.

Good luck
