I have two Rat Terriers. The female would rather be carried around but Bud the male seems to be a natural. I started him fetching my socks out of the sock drawer and then started asking him to "fetch" different things in the house. I now take him out on a leash for Squirrels. He sits beside me (Sometimes I have to put my foot on the leash to keep him still.) until I shoot and then I let him go. At first he was reluctant to grab the squirrel and bring it back. He now will pick it up and bring it right to me. Hes only been out a few times. The season for this year starts today and I will take him out. The next part will be to teach him how to locate them and maybe move around the tree when asked. Its alot of fun!
