Mosby 355 Posted February 11, 2012 Report Share Posted February 11, 2012 Man, I've had the same thing happen. When I was younger I used to really egg the dogs on to go to ground or check a scent whether I knew something was there or not. This is one of the worste things to do. The dogs learn that going to ground and barking equals praise. That should not be the case. Only praise your dog after quarry is dispatched. Not saying that's what you've done but that's how I got mine doing that. 2 Quote Link to post

Peter4190 85 Posted February 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2012 Thanks for advice lads, usually dig to him mid tube, but it does look like the quarry has been scrattin on but seems to be goin on a long way if there at all but the last few have stank of Charlie, but I am inexperienced myself so not sure [bANNED TEXT] the f**k is goin on, and only 1 terrier between me an a mate it's a proper novice situation Quote Link to post
Marvin 193 Posted February 11, 2012 Report Share Posted February 11, 2012 Good to see some sensible advice given for a change (apart from the odd numbtee) this is how it should be for us who are starting out, much better than asking a question then raking through post after post of abuse for not knowing, hope you get the result you need, good luck with the dog dude 1 Quote Link to post

Yeah your right the dog inexperiened take one that know's whats its doin Quote Link to post
Mooching Celt 659 Posted February 11, 2012 Report Share Posted February 11, 2012 How old is the dog? Is he ready for it yet? If he's only young leave him 'til next season then try him again Quote Link to post

Rabbit Hunter 6,613 Posted February 11, 2012 Report Share Posted February 11, 2012 If you been in terriers for ten years why have you got someone else's dogs as your avatar? Quote Link to post
lukey 1,621 Posted February 11, 2012 Report Share Posted February 11, 2012 Thanks for advice lads, usually dig to him mid tube, but it does look like the quarry has been scrattin on but seems to be goin on a long way if there at all but the last few have stank of Charlie, but I am inexperienced myself so not sure [bANNED TEXT] the f**k is goin on, and only 1 terrier between me an a mate it's a proper novice situation If your wee dog hasnt done much there may well be one in there, being mid tube I would say things could have been getting tight for the dog and hes just not keen on pushing on through the tight part. All we can all do is guess though so best thing you could do is next time sit back and give your dog plenty of time. When trying holes with him dont make any fuss at all over it(Dont egg him on). Have you dug him before with a fox infront of him? 1 Quote Link to post

Peter4190 85 Posted February 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2012 Yer he has seen one in front but when we break through the dog doesn't wanna know, but he does sit back but it's almost like he has forgotten [bANNED TEXT] he has gone in there for when broken through Quote Link to post
sweeper 156 Posted February 11, 2012 Report Share Posted February 11, 2012 This is really startin to do my head in, when I have given my dog chance to settle in then start digging, when I get to my dog there is no quarry in sight and sometimes I can't dig on to see where it's gone, even though it stinks of fox, dunno weather it's dug on and dog can't get to it or he is bayin on scent or not, I have only had a few with him so maybe inexperienced I don't know, but it's gettin very annoyin Any suggestions apart from a new terrier ??? give the terrier time to settle more its all about knowing your dog and when its ONREGARDS Quote Link to post
