A1an 4 Posted May 20, 2011 Report Share Posted May 20, 2011 You can lead a horse to water...... Has it actually been to an earth with something at home? One of mine wont bury its tail unless the earth is occupied. Quote Link to post

rabbit slayer 22 Posted May 21, 2011 Report Share Posted May 21, 2011 I think sometimes patiance is important when entering young dogs, they all dont go first time out. Some are slower than other to come on. Just keep taking it out with an experianced dog coupled on the earth. The penny should drop, not saying that all will enter though. But i think too many people are in to much of a rush to enter young dogs, and get trigger happy. Quote Link to post

mart 131 Posted May 21, 2011 Report Share Posted May 21, 2011 i dont know if its the best way, but a couple of weeks ago we tried out the artificial way of entering a terrier. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qhmr32g4xOs fun for the dogs and a good way to see how far a long the pup is mentally, also builds a bit of selfesteem.

Guest busterdog Posted May 21, 2011 Report Share Posted May 21, 2011 Looks to me like the dog was being put off by the hand on the scruff, why do people feel the need to get involved to much ? will you be there to hold it's hand toground. Good luck with the pup but if it were me i'de take a backwards step and watch from a distance and say nothing untill it was doing it for itself. 1 Quote Link to post
mart 131 Posted May 21, 2011 Report Share Posted May 21, 2011 yeah, i see your point. every dog was treated different though, depending on their initial response. the hand was meant as a bit of back up, and also too show the pup what we wanted from here, being a pup her focus is a bit wandering.

dev 226 Posted May 22, 2011 Report Share Posted May 22, 2011 there is no need to try and train him.when he is ready he will go. i never seen a terrier that didnt travel an earth when it was ready. finding and staying is the hard bit for them. just give him the opertunity when he is old enough and he will go.good luck Quote Link to post
