breaking a dog to ferrets

[STAFFY poacher 90]

my pups 11 weeks old and i no about letting him see the ferrets and a slow introduction and so on..ive did it before but with kits.. the 2 jills ive got now are last seasons and have never seen a dog

 

any tips

What about just introducing them through the hutch just so they can have a sniff and get used to each other or just put them on a bit of grass I'm sure it would be ok )

You can also put. Dish of milk down and let them all share it

I have a ferret who aint great with dogs so I used a large bowl with alittle milk in put the pup at one side ferret at the other , just watched over to make sure all went well then i held the ferret near the pup so he could sniff it safely and let them run around the shed , they are ok now

my ferrets were a bit nippy with the pup and they were 1 year old jills and it made her a bit wary of them so be careful. i just held them up to her, put them on floor together and said no when she showed interest in them really. i tried with some young kits who didnt nip her and put some confidence into the pup that they werent all nippy. she is good though there will be a rustling in the cover she'll sprint over ready to grab a rabbit and the look of disapointment in her eyes when its a ferret is funny. good luck

I also like to give them a saucer of goats milk together when the pups as young as possible. After a couple of days the pup soon accepts the ferret.

slow and steady and always supervised, not keen on the feeding together but drinking milk is ace, check out haymin's vid of them playing together

I try and wait untill the pup is a little older before I introduce them to the ferrets, I,m not keen on a dog that skulks away and is afraid to interact
