Should we get our Jack Russell a friend?
We have a Jack Russell Terrier who just turned three. We have one son who just turned two and a 2nd who is 7 months. We think he is jealous of our sons. Our jack seems lonely and although we still pay attention to him, he seems to feel rejected. This leads to an occasional accident in the house (once a month or so), which makes me CRAZY. We have tried re-training (positive only… Jack’s don’t do well with negative) We have tried being nicer, paying more attention, teaching our oldest to throw the ball for him etc. Being a Jack Russell, they are known not to like other animals; however our dog is VERY well socialized. He doesn’t like cats, but does do very well with other dogs. So does anyone have any experience with this? Would getting another dog possibly help his jealously issues? We are not willing to give up on him, but we do want him to be happy… and not potty in the house!! Any advice is welcome. Thank you!
Hmmm… I’ve heard that Jack’s CAN be breed specific, however… our dog plays with my mothers golden retriever all the time. They are friends. They don’t live together, but… The do love eachother!
This is so hard, I just don’t know what to do!
Help my Jack Russell is a Major Spazzzz?
My Jack is a Female, next month she will be a year. She is completely disobedient around others and dogs.
If not suprervised out in the yard, she is all about distruction to grass, sprinklers, plants, palms you name it.
I believe she is fresh out of luck for any other new owners except for me.
She requires 24/7 patience, playing, walking and survailance.
What can i do, i cant afford training, who can help me and my Jack/
I have an 8 week old Jack Russell pup (male) is it too young to sleep outside (on a verendah)?
I don’t think it should but the person I am living with does, he only thinks so because he is a little over him crying through the night and ****** and pooing everywhere.
I think that he is too young, and am trying to toilet train him, what should I do?
Is he too young?
(BTW I named it Gizmo, since I think it looks like a gremlin)
Jack Russell Barking at Household Chores?
I have a 10 month old Jack Russell and she is really friendly and great with other dogs and people. However, it is impossible to get anything done in the house. She barks if someone in the family is shoveling snow, washing the car, doing the dishes, wiping counters (sponge), dusting, blowing drying your hair, and any other type of household cleaning, etc. I’m pretty sure it is the movement of the sponge or rag that she wants to go after. The most recent thing she is doing is sitting and watching me on the computer. If she sees the mouse(cursor) move on the screen or a little icon blink, she will bark the entire time. I was wondering if anyone had any solutions. I don’t want to have to separate her every time something has to get done. Her teacher from training class said to continue enforcing the "leave it" command, but jrts are so persistent that it’s difficult to really stop her and get her attention for more than a minute. She has tons of exercise, play time, &socialization
