i get what your saying pal the only time he is off the lead now is when i'm on my bike he always stays at the side of me when i stop on goes the lead lol,was just wondering if anyone on here has owned terriers that did this and did they grow out of it. thanks

Sounds like the dog has a ton of hunt.... and good homing instinct. I can't even imagine wanting to change that. But I guess it's all situational. Here he'd be a keeper for sure.

had a staffxpat that used to feck off he could scale 7ft fences one minute he was next to you on the yard then i`d get a phonecall saying he was in the next village ... he used to like a rummble with the local cats sometimes late at night i`d hear him scambling fences looking for em .. my mum took him on and he never left her side untill he died he changed overnight -- one habit he never stopped you could walk him miles but he always used to jump on a neighbours low wall and have a shit -- he soon found a low wall on his walks with my mum

Back to basics mate.

 

Failing that the only thing I can think is a collar mate (aside from having him on the lead which should always be a first). Soon as he starts to fuuck off. Call him - nothing, call him again - vibrate if he don't get it shock the wee fecker and call him back normally. Never use the collar in anger and never get angry when you've shocked him you want the little sod to come belting back to ya with a wtf look on his face but looking for love

The first dog I had (beagle x terrier x heinz 57) when I was 10 was a b*****d for running off every cat,squirrel, even bloody birds in flight hed be gone over even our tallest fence 6ft + and if I was lucky id find him, but mostly a day or so later hed turn up miles away covered in shite. Many a sleepless night worrying if id see the bugger again
