Training a Jack Russel
With most dogs, formal training can begin when they're around six months old. Not so with Jack Russells. Because they are a especially stubborn breed, the earlier you begin training a Jack Russell Terrier, the more well off you will be. Behaviour Problems are sometimes due to a lack of friendship, rules, activity and exercise.
Housetraining
When you are introducing your baby dog to its new home, take her out to the grass and encourage her to go to the john. Praise her if she does, but don't worry if she does not. Housetraining, like every other aspect of training, takes time and patience. A consistent routine is useful here. That suggests regular feeding times and trips outside to go potty after each meal. It is important for you to accompany the puppy outside so you can praise him and feed him a treat when he does his business outside.
Social Interaction
An important part of the coaching must involve socializing the little puppy with a wide variety of dogs and humans including youngsters of differing ages. Neglecting to do so will create behavioural issues later. Fear of the unfamiliar could cause your Jack to bark and plunge generally because they're very protecting of their humans.
The Seriousness of Play
With a puppydog, training should be masked as play. Games like fetch can serve as training sessions in disguise. When you discover your Jack's fave game, perhaps tug of war, it could be a far more effective coaching reward than food. However , both food treats and fun make training far easier for your puppy.
Crate Training
Jacks can be exceedingly destructive when they are left unattended, especially when they're teething. Regardless of whether your Jack is just bored, you may come home to find out that the runners on your favourite rocker have been gnawed, glasses taken off the occasional table and mangled beyond use and book covers re-designed. For this reason, crate training is a complete must and the crate will help with housetraining, too.
Biting Issues
Play-biting is a natural part of a puppy's nature so they have to be taught that biting is unsatisfactory. A gentle way to let your puppy know that she's biting too hard is the muzzle hold method, which is based on the way dogs and wolves discipline their puppies in natural habitats. Break off playing and gently hold the pup's gob shut for 1 or 2 seconds. Don't squeeze; you do not want to hurt your pup. When she starts to grasp that she cannot bite anymore, reward her with treats. Ensuring she has enough acceptable toys and chewable foods to gnaw on is an alternative way to stop unacceptable biting.
