Feeding habits
Hard food, or moist food. Darla is used to dry food
but absolutly LOVES moist food. Its ok to give your rattie a couple tablescraps. Just be careful about what u give. All dogs
love treats, but ratties can go a bit crazy to get them. They can twirl, jump, jump and twirl, bark, sit and lift up a paw,
and more! Thats why ratties are easy to train, they are obsessed with treats.
Loneliness
They can be left alone just try not to leave them
alone indoors for too long. I would say the limit would be one to two hours.Sometimes they can get alittle mischevious. They
really aren't too much trouble just make sure there is no place for any escape acts of diging under a possible fence or something.
Toys
Well, the only way to know what toys your rat-terrier
likes, or well, any dog likes is to know them. You need to test out different toys like squeey toys, squishy toys without
the squeek, stuffed toys, tug-o-war toys, exc. At the youngest and most playful age of the rat-terrier, they have lots of
fun when you play tug-o-war with them.
Strange fact...
when you are telling a dog "bad dog" they may loose some of their happiness and become alittle
sad. It is therefore better to say "no" or "not good".
Teddy Roosevelt named rat terriers well... rat terriers! How you ask? Well, there was a problem
with rats in the whitehouse and so President Roosevelt asked for a terrier that could get rid of the rats, a rat terrier.
But dont forget the teddy bear! That got named after him amazingly too!
