self entering

Dont know how experienced you are mate but the answer is obvious .Keep terriers on leads until you WANT them to enter.Amateurs let terriers run free in my book .{unless you are ratting etc}

When a terrier is of the right age running free with a locator collar on ,in the right area,has given me plenty of sport pushing stuff out of cover aswell as digging but then its never been an aspiration to be a proffesional .LOL

[Guest REDROB]

same as you kane, best if you no your ground though,plus it keeps them a bit fitter. if you want your dog for earth work only, keep it on a lead.

Got into a bit of bother with an irate farmer after my pup dissapeared while out walking him one day,he was only 8 month's at the time.I managed to drag him out,but only cause he was just in.Swore i'd keep him on a lead,but like a t**t i let him off a couple of times later,and he went to ground again by himself.Yet again we got him back,but he took a few knock's.Hasn't put him off, but i'm sure it could have ruined him.Pic's taken after the dog was cleaned up,just in case it offended anybody.

Your right Duz,weren't pretty at the time but not to bad once he was cleaned up and sprayed.Didn't scar,and the hair had grown back within a few week's.Not a mark where it was now,even though it was deep.

S'pose everyone is entitled to their own opinion but I would hardly say amateur, if the terriers are trained which a lot of lads don't bother to do anyway and they are on land that you know I don't see a problem, found loads over the years on moors and rocks, young Fellman once said to me on a morning out, how the feck did you find a place all the way out here, I didn't was my reply the dog did.

 

Pups a little different but in my book they need to be off the lead on known land to exercise their nose and instincts.
