learn from the dog, by the sound of things, it's got more experiance than you.

well first try her on rats, set some live rat traps out and about and see if the dog is interested on them then go from there.

Keep your smary coments to yourself...

I'm fairly certain he's not trying to be 'smarmy' matey.

 

There is a bit of sense in that as the dog will be following instinct and you trying to learn or interpret what the dog is doing.

 

If you can't follow someone and are finding it difficult to gain any experience, try reading as much about terrier work as possible, this way you can make up your own mind and also decide what you want to do with your dog.

 

At the same time you will no doubt be showing your dog as much as possible and as you have said, it seams to be off to a flyer without even knowing it.

 

Good luck and be patient with your dg and your self.

I don't think Mick was being smarmy, just stating that the dogs instincts are kicking in and she knows what shes looking for and is cracking on..........
