Dont worry about it too much for now mate as the season has come to an end and your dog is a bit young. By time the new season comes around your dog will be older and im sure someone will be willing to help.

 

Best of luck.

Ye pal youre right about the season coming to an end ...... im hoping to have it attached to the spade next season but i ment .... showing it how to go about killing rats squirrels and mink .... you know what i mean ?

yes mate. I found that my bitch would kill rats etc as soon as she seen them she didnt need guidence from another dog. My idvice would be just show it what you can until someone comes along to help. Maybe set a few live traps for rats and squirells and see what your terrier thinks of them through the cage befor you go any further.

Let her see it through the cage for a few minuites, once she is wound up hold her at the door and open the cage, if she want in the cage with it let her if not wait till it bolts.
