You don't.
I've always envied those people who can take a brisk walk and have their dog trot along beside them. Those of us who have terriers are not "those people". We just amble from clump of grass to pile of rocks, our faithful mutt sniffing diligently, hoping to be able to uncover one of the rare mice terriers were bred to find.
The fun is when they actually find a mouse. A few years ago our dog at that time, Emma Belle (a miniature schnauzer), found one that had come in through the dryer vent into the utility room. It made it's way to the kitchen pantry where it got in to some dry pasta, then tried to make a run for it back under the washing machine. Those little bastards can scoot! Emma...not so fast. She was running in place, slipping on the hardwood floors, while the mouse pulled away. For the better part of a day Emma stood guard, keeping it holed up. It eventually ate some rat poison I put out and that was the end.
I wonder what Emma thought of all that? "So THAT'S what I've spent my life sniffing for!" I suspect she felt pretty darn proud of herself. I guess that's why I just let Luke (the Yorkie) amble along like he does. I'm sorta hoping he'll find something. It would probably scare the crap out of him, but I would find it quite entertaining. ;)
