Breaking a pup to stock?

[Diggerman Dan 20]

Hello, would just like a few pointers from the more experienced members than me on the best way or their particular methods of breaking terriers to livestock? I have a relative that keeps poultry on an allotment that would let me take my pup through, but he’s 5 months now and like most working bred terriers he’s feisty and excited by fur and feather. I wouldn’t want any nasty mistakes to happen so any advice would be very much appreciated. Thank you.

Ideally if locked up near them and sees them regular he won't take any notice eventually, walk him near them plenty

If it’s a black dog forget about it

Good old fashioned bollockings and threats of violence, if that doesn't work at this age you've had it.

Get it amongst them and if it give chance check it then it will soon learn mate.Especially at an early age

Having access to stock early on with a pup is the way forward, mine isn't solid with stock but with most of there faults it's time I didn't have and paying the price now, little dog just required a no at 12 weeks and we lived in Wales , big dog hasn't seen much and is game for anything, will be doing a refresher shortly... But never trust once it's lost....
