gnipper 6,899 Posted May 26, 2011 Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 Should be a piece of piss with lurchers, i've seen it with my own eyes just with showing it to the dog and telling it no and it was fine from then on. If its broken to stock and chickens etc then it shouldn't be a problem. Terriers are a different kettle of fish Quote Link to post
Scallywag 78 Posted May 26, 2011 Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 I broke my bitch to ferrets when she was about three. Just held the ferret, let her sniff and when she went for it went BOO really loud and freaked her out! We started ferreting immediately. I saw her think about picking a ferret up as it came out of a hole and gave her a firm 'leave it' and that was that. Once she'd worked with them for a day and understood that they were part of the team and that she got to catch rabbits when they're around, she was sound with them. Not had any problems with her at all since that first day. Quote Link to post
