Hi everyone,
I have a 6 year old terrier, she is from working stock and is a working ratting breed, though has never worked herself. She is not to be trusted around small furries and birds, though poultry tends to be safe as most chickens are around her height. She is good with cats and usually doesn't chase.
However, she has very little horse sense. I'd like to try and teach her some, though have no idea how to go about it. As mentioned she is 6, turning 7 soon, is teachable, though is very much a terrier when it comes to training.
I currently keep a very close eye on her, or have her on a lead when at the yard, though I would love to be able to trust her to be off the lead and left to to her devices. She is a little weary of the horses, but again is a terrier and can be snappy.
Can anyone share any tips/experiences in how to go about teaching her to give the horses a wide berth?
