Mooch. 177 Posted September 29, 2011 Report Share Posted September 29, 2011 He'll learn by himself by the strength of the scent down the hole. I don't think there's any way you can train it that won't result in false marking. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
paulus 26 Posted September 29, 2011 Report Share Posted September 29, 2011 ferreting would be the quickest way and lots of it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
events co-ordinator 353 Posted September 29, 2011 Report Share Posted September 29, 2011 The dog already knows which burrows are occupied or not you have to be able to recognise the signs you will have to monitor its behaviour and learn to read its body language.Sometimes the signs the dog gives are clear digging and whining at the hole sometimes the dog will just stare at the hole YOU have to watch for the signs and learn to recognise them.YIS.
