Ferret vs dog

[nat 8]

My problems the opposite to most posts on thus website ... My dogs fine with the ferrets but when iv let the dog near the kits a few times they've gone to grab onto his legs and I don't want 1 biting him and putting the dog off. It's never happened with my older 1s so will they grow out of it?? Cheers

I have the same problem with my ferrets but i think my ferrets are trying to play with the dog mine are young aswell

Aye mate, it's probably because they are young and playful, but also you do need to break ferrets to dogs, it's something that a lot of folk forget. Otherwise it's like "what the f**k is this big hairy thing towering over me, attack attack, run run". Both animals need to get used to each other in order to form a good working relationship.

a good drink of milk or tea side by side and they will be fine start off with two dishers and bring them together then get them drinking out of the same dish and your one to a winner

Cheers guys the milk sounds like a good idea but I was thinking I might wait till there older and less playful obviously still let them together [bANNED TEXT] I'm there or through mesh and see how it goes because previously iv had no problem with the older ferrets but anymore tips or experience is very much welcome
