mrmen16 5 Posted June 26, 2011 Report Share Posted June 26, 2011 mate have them drinking milk together but keep him/her on a lead and if he goes to bite the ferret a firm yank on lead and no correct the dog whenever it goes for the ferret once the season is in and up and running take it ferreting a couple off times and they will be fine in the end 1 Quote Link to post

Jamie m 668 Posted June 27, 2011 Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 Thanks for the tips lads il let you know how i get on Lots of correcting and time and put it on the leed when ferrets are on the floor. every time it goes to get the ferret pull the leed and say no , the more time you put in the easier it will get , try leting it see and smell the ferrets before you put them on the floor then sit on the floor with the dog for a good while and if it goes for the ferrets keep correcting it , as said once it realises that ferrets bolt rabbits and a ferrets not a rabbit the partnership should form , Quote Link to post
