dso88 15 Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 i think he might be to old now mate but you can still try just everytime hes agressive towards the ferrets correct him Quote Link to post
john rust 45 Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 i think he might be to old now mate but you can still try just everytime hes agressive towards the ferrets correct him Never to old in my opinion, I broke 2 of my 3 terriers to ferrets and they are all over 2 years. The two jrt have worked rat and rabbit, but just did what has been said above every time they made a move or was agressive towards the ferrets correct them, they have to know the ferrets are your and not to touch. My border is just a no go tried everything he just wont take to them. Give it time and put the work in and ATB mate John Quote Link to post

Tyla 3,179 Posted January 9, 2010 Report Share Posted January 9, 2010 Good luck! I cant get my terrier broken to ferrets for the life of me! Hes been "corrected" so many times that now he sees them and looks the other way, total avoidance, but if my back is turned they would be toast. They can run round in front of him in the garden and he just shakes and looks the other way but if he ever got the chance I know they would only last a second. Ive given up, ferretings not really his thing anyway but it would still be nice to be able to trust him. Lucky the lurchers know the score! Quote Link to post
