hi all,

 

Im very pleased!! i didnt want to take my terrier out bushing/ferreting until he was properly broken to my mums cats just incase he killed the small one (smaller then a rabbit), so after sorting all his other training out over the last 3 months i made the introduction with him muzzled and my secret weapon (milk bottle with stones in it) and as expected he ran at the cat one shake of the bottle he stopped dead and skulked off to the other corner of the room, now he walks right past the cats, they run under his nose etc and he doesnt chase them at all!! even with hsi muzzle off, so looks like i can us him for hunting now

 

i put a thread of his overall training and the cat breaking in more detail in the training section incase anyone wants to look,

Good news!

 

But just a question, why did you feel you had to break him to cats? chances are there is not going to be loads of cats running about in the woods or feilds... (if thats where your hunting)

mainly because i still live at home and my dog has to be cat friendly as my mum has 4!! and i didnt wanting him attacking them in the same way he would a rabbit as one of the cats is a dwarf so he could easily really hurt it

u think your dog would only kill the small dwarf cat? good luck:blink: i dont know of many terriers that can actually catch rabbits anyway atb with the dog

sorry if my post has caused confusion,

 

basically, i orignally got the dog to go bushing with and was told he was ok with cats and ferrets, but turns out he hated cats, so i wanted to get him broken to our cats before i took him incase he thought anything he chases he kills etc, and the main reason i did it this was out of concern of all the cats but mainly our small cat as she is the most fragile and of a similar size to a rabbit, and i didnt want him to pick her up and shake her around. And as he was to be a pet aswell as a worker he would live in the house and the cats roam round the house so it was important for me to break him to cats,

 

hope that all makes sense,
