What exactly do you do in training with Florrie Luke?

Luke · 12-12-2005, 08:33 PM

well she can work vermin now, but when she was little it was just basic training, she learnt a lot of what she knows off Polly so that helped a lot!
PM'ed you Dawn

Dont think Luke has spotted your question yet Mags, I'm pleased you are enquiring about the training of working dogs, nice not to be judged.

Dawn.

I'm always willing to learn about different things Dawn!

Well Florrie is of good stock, long lines of working terriers, she has blood flowing through her veins of terriers who would tackle anything, quite literally. She learnt a lot of what she knows from our JRT, but she did need training still. Basic puppiness of ragging toys and things were encouraged, then she moved on from toys to playing with a fox's brush that i borrowed of someone, florrie used to live for it

so she got a learning for furred things so to speak, then one day we were on walkies and a rat scurried across our way and she saw to it.
She doesnt get worked as much as i would like for her to be due to circumstances of one or another.
Hope this answers the question in a manner that i havent offended anyone

Mags · 13-12-2005, 10:12 PM

Ah I see....so did you train her yourself then Luke?

Luke · 13-12-2005, 10:19 PM

With help from her breeder and an aunt of mine who is an expert in working terriers
