scothunter 12,609 Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 You don't really need to train them as such. However won't do any harm and keep them fit. Oh I'd say around october November you could introduce them to a wee burrow. Good luck anyway mate. Btw this will prob get moved to the fert section. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
reddawn 2,173 Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 get them used to pipes itsll help a bt an stop them skulking in the holes when your picking them up, some folks would start them this winter, but it sounds like a late litter to me an id hold it back maybe show it a few burys towards the end of season an work them hard the winter after Quote Link to post Share on other sites
