Francentey-FTB 29 Posted August 15, 2011 Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 just get out with them, encourage them too mooch, take them to quiet places, disused industrial estates, rabbits thrive there, show the dogs game and they should switch on, encourage them to bush, take them down canals, river banks look for signs of rat and hopefully you will bump into stuff, both young enough, my advice is just get out amongst it, you will have fun no matter what and dogs will enjoy it.
