Kane 2 Posted February 18, 2006 Report Share Posted February 18, 2006 If hes a pup get him out as much as possable without tireing him out to much.If hes inclined to work through earths make sure they are unocupied if you cant guarantee earths are empty keep him on a leed.I encourage mine to work cover and use there noses from an early age.Good luck [bANNED TEXT].

Guest rubberribs Posted February 18, 2006 Report Share Posted February 18, 2006 she's 12 months old she's had a couple ov rats but she wont go t ground, wots the best way Quote Link to post
Kane 2 Posted February 18, 2006 Report Share Posted February 18, 2006 Tie her up near an earth that is being worked by another terrier,the sights,sounds and smells of dog working a fox will get most terriers worth the name worked up.Rattings good for bringing a dog on do as much of that as you can (good fun aswell).Dont get to worried if shes a year old now she can have the summer to mature and grow and next winter hopefully she will be up for it.
