How to Train your RAT TERRIER

Training Your Rat Terrier

The Rat Terrier is a compact, tough, and incredibly fast American farm dog. They are highly intelligent, deeply affectionate, and fiercely tenacious.

Key Training Tips:

• High Prey Drive: They will chase and dispatch rodents efficiently. Flawless recall is difficult if they spot prey; keep them leashed outdoors.
• Digging Instincts: They love to dig. Provide a designated sandbox where they are allowed to dig safely to prevent them from destroying your garden.

They absolutely dominate in Earthdog trials and agility, requiring an intensely active owner.
