Yeah my girl live to be 15years 5 months she was spoiled & she ruled most of the time but have fond memories of her she would heard my mother I took care of her when she was going done then my Mom like a year of taking care of elderly individuals hey aleast I didn't get bored because of the pandemic.
Yep, my mistake was I fell hard for my girl, she passed away in April and I was left broken hearted. Just got another little girl I must be a glutton for punishment
My first ever dog! Got him when I was 10 and he died when I was 25 Miss him so so much. He went through all the shit times with me like my parent’s divorce etc. He had a load of energy but he was actually very calm and loving. A fantastic companion.
My first dog was a JRT he passed in February he was such a good dog i never really had to train him he was so smart id walk him and he woukd walk right next to me and he never knew what a leash was he was the best boy in the world of best boys ❤
Angela, one year ago today my 18 year old Jack Russell had to be put down. He was my best friend and constant companion. I lost a part of my heart that day and am just now thinking about getting another but not quite yet. They are awesome dogs with unique personalities.
I loved an American/ Canadian show called Wishbone it's a kid show with a really clever Jack Russell from the 90s. I'm so glad to have friends that own a few and I get to dogsit sometimes. They are clever for a little doggy
My JRT/Westy is 8 years old, I’ve had him since he was 8 weeks old. He potty trained great I think he maybe had 1 or 2 accidents in his first week and that was it. He learned to go by the door when he needed to go out and if he was there for a bit without us noticing he would bark to alert us. 8 years later we’ve had zero potty mistakes save for some excited dribbles when greeting us if we’ve been gone for awhile but a quick wipe of the floor takes care of that. Unfortunately my elderly parents had to take care of him for me for a few months when he was 3 or 4 years old. I was struggling with my work being swamped and having me work sometimes 18 hour days which was not fair to me or my dog and I wasn’t able to focus on him like he deserved and I couldn’t keep just relying on neighbors or Rover to take him out and exercise him. Unfortunately my parents are big softies and wouldn’t discipline him and kept feeding him treats and people food throughout the day which reinforced many negative behaviors. I’ve been able to break most of the treat and people food behaviors but he’s still barking at everyone and everything which he never did before. He will actively watch tv and bark and try to attack any animals he sees. He also can’t stand delivery vehicles and most other dogs, and isn’t great with most men. I know he was attacked a few times at the dog park by my parents which unfortunately has stuck with him. He used to be great with other dogs and was so friendly with almost everyone and played great with people and dogs. Now I need to be so careful because he might seem fine with someone or a dog until they do something he doesn’t like and then it’s like a switch gets flipped and he wants to attack. He also hates his feet being touched and has to be sedated for nail trims. He’s a pain and difficult but I love him and he’s got more personality that most dogs and people and can really make us laugh. I wouldn’t trade him for anything but I wish I could help him to chill out and not get so stressed out about everything, and enjoy life freely like he used to. I’ve done great dog training with him about a year ago but due to his stubborn personality he got bored and a lot of the methods no longer worked. I’m thinking about trying to find another trainer soon to see if we can find different methods that can help him with his trust and anxiety of people, dog, and noises.
Oh wow i also have a JRT and has most of the issues your dog has too and shes only 2 years old! Just like yours my own JRT had very negative behavior due to other people spoiling her with peoples food (even after me begging them to listen to my pleas). My dogs behavior was its worst at her puppy/adolesence phase but luckly calmed down by age 2. Though my honest advice would be if you train your dog out of bad behavior you should also make other house members (ie. Your parents) stop rewarding and enabling him like with giving him peoples food. Thats what managed to calm/fix some of the behavior of my own dog once everyone in the house stopped enabling her. But i wish you the best for you and your JRT, it might seem all hope for recovery is lost but you and your doggie will get there 🙏🙏 good luck i hope you find the trainer for ur dogs best needs!!
One thing I relate to is when I’m on my computer my Jack gets really jealous and starts barking at me but one mistake I made with my pup is feeding him off my plate oh how mealtime is such a chore with him around and he knows how to get what he wants. I will say this I walk mine at lest twice a day and loves it keeps me active but I now know I should not yell at him a simple no will be fine
My jrt is 7 Love him! Loving and gets along with other dogs except on leash. Leash aggression!!! Very energetic. Needs multiple walks & play time daily. Very food motivated.
My JRT is the most loving, happiest little dog. Very smart and protective. She loves children but will jump up for kisses or put her paws on your leg wanting affection.
Just got a JRT. My wife's Chihuahua of 16 years passed away. I have a 6 year old Belgian Malinois. I was nervous about introducing them. Hes a very intimidating dog. Strength and intelligence pours from him. We live way out in the country and my dogs don't hang around other dogs. At all. I introduced them last night when I got the puppy home. My BM wanted to check him out very much. He was very excited and I had a hard time keeping his attention so he wouldn't just zone in on the puppy. Once he smelled him real good and I seen he wasn't going to have any signs of aggression. I let my wife put the JRT down and kept my BM on the leash. The BM lost interest quickly, but the JRT was "smitten". Followed him everywhere until bedtime. I have to be careful, because I don't want the puppy to love my BM more than me. I got up this morning and was watching them in the house. My BM was actually training the puppy about boundaries around his toys and room! (He has his own room) He also was teaching him how to go in and out of the house on the back porch. He done these things over and over until the puppy understood what he was showing him. I was floored once I realized what he was doing. I can't believe how amazing my BM is. I've never seen anything like it. And if the JRT ever gets in trouble, I have no doubt that he has the best protection there is.
@@LogicallyKnot when my brother got a jrt his jrt went under the porch to take a nap and when he woke he got confused how to get out so our jrt heard his cries, climbed under porch, waved her paw to get his attention then directed him out from under the porch
I have had Jack Russell's most of my life that is over 70 years so I think that I know a bit about them I lost my last one six months ago it upset me very much as she was only 13 years old but the big C got her in the end. I have been on and off looking for a rescue one but its so hard as people do not seem to let there puppies mix with other dogs when they are young and so they want to fight with other dogs not good. All of my dogs have been able to run free and play with the other dogs in the park etc it is very hard to stop an older dog snapping at other dogs this is why they stay in the rescue pounds so long. if you are getting a new dog you have to start when they are young let them walk free with treats they should always return to you if you leave it to late it can be a problem getting them to come back to you.
My JRT is 15 months old & her recall has taken a back seat!?...she doesn't run away per se, but she comes back when "she's' ready, which has made our beaxh walks a lot less fun & Im not sure how to fix it??😢
I've owned high-energy dogs before a sheltie, a Labrador but I've never seen a dog that would exercise and wanted to exercise as much as Much as my Jack Russell. We used to go out three different times a day an hour and a half at a time. I have a huge yard and I would throw the tennis ball as far as I could with a throwing stick Non-Stop. An hour and a half three times a day. She's always been free fed she ate as much as a German Shepherd and ran and ran every day she even likes to run in the snow and dig in the snow better than summer. She's never hunted but I would pity the poor Fox that would try to run her till she got tired and quit chasing him. I'm in my '70s I've had a dog since I was 12 she is definitely tied in first place we're the only other dog I admired as much as her
I have a beautiful little girl pup just under a year old her name is holly such a beautiful character so cheeky but loving naughty but funny my life changed min I saw her and for the best we do so much together I couldn’t be without her
Mine has a loving nature , but has a problem with people. She is very insecure about things and timid. She is so cute though people who live around ignore her temper and thinks she is cute. She is really protective me. 🤗she lets me know she thinks there is danger. 😊
Hrmm has she been in alot of social surroundings with other people alot ? She might be abit insecure and timid if she is unsure and not used to alot of people around
@@eveh6708 she was raised around a lot dogs , but when I picked to take her up home she had fit like I was going to hurt her. I had to calm her down. That has been 7 months ago.
@@shellyblanchard5788 Ah yes was meaning more of human interactions . It could help if you introduce her slowly around people and make it a posstive experience for her . Maby if she likes playing ball ect . Keep her on a lead and try and get her to focus on the playing of ball to accociate her with a good thing around people
@@shellyblanchard5788 I would just like to point out I'm not a professional dog trainer . Just do alot of training with my dog . And this is type of training I'm doing with my dog now to get him used to being around cats as he does not like them
1h WALKING per day is IMHO not enough. These dogs need to run free and run a lot. Don't be fooled by their size. 2 miles running beside a bike plus 1h walk running free is more like it. Plus high power playing like fetch ball, tugging a rope, agility etc. When other dogs of this size are done a Jack Russle just got up to operating temperature.
Jack Russell's are very smart and should pick up on things very quick . I would just work on training a few times in the day untill you are happy with what they are doing
Hrmm , I would try making the training fun . My jr is 2 years old and still is picking up new tricks from training. For eg if your dog loves playing or affection use that as the reward x
We have a JRT/ shitzu mix. We did not know this when we rescued him. We thought it was just a Shitzu, which we have over 30 yrs experience training and caring for. However, this was discovered when we had trouble training, house breaking and noticed traits completely different than a shitzu. He has a coat longer and thicker than a shitzu, so it wasn’t until we clipped him that we realized inning he had JRT in him. Which explained a lot! My brother had two and We were very familiar with the breed. Not one we would have picked, but he is amazing! We just can’t potty train him! He knows when to tell us he has to out, but then he comes back in and goes in the house. We have two other dogs and my 50 yrs of dog experience is that aside from training, they also learn from other indogs. He does go out with them and he does go, but then we’ll still have accidents. We started him with crate training, then wee pads at age 12 wks. Gradually moved him to outdoors with direct supervision. He is now 7mos. And while he’s gotten better, we still have, what I would consider, way too many accidents. In fact my other two dogs have now started going in the house,mos we cant always tell who did it. My question is, what do I need to do differently to potty train new family member? He knows all the basic commends, he even pee’s on commend. So what are we doing wrong? Now he goes out and stays out because he’s afraid to come in. What do we do?
@@PetsAplenty yeh I took her on a walk and decided to focus on her not pulling first and every time she pulled ide stop for a second until she came back when we were walking back from the park she wasn’t even pulling anymore and stopped as soon as I would
My jack would often refuse to come to bed and stand by my office door, I thought he was being stubborn then I realized his bear toy was in there and he wanted to bring it to bed! If your Jack is refusing to folllow you its most likely they want to being something with them, try and pay attention to their body language.
One thing I have 2 cats and she doesn't understand that they get hungry to. I have to hold her back at times or she will attack them. She wants it all to herself.😓
My j/russel so naughty he's 5mnths old he never stops scratching our legs/biting our arms /hands it realy hurts draws blood I say a firm NO many times he grows back at me realy angry he digs holes in garden destroyed plants we play wiv him all the time he has many toys my garden is gravelled he never stops eating the gravel stones he realy is a handful
My 18yr old JR recently passed. And our new JR puppy is just past the bitey stage. Be patient, distract, say ouch really loud, redirect to a toy. It will pass. The naughtiness lasts much, much longer 😆
to be honest I've met lonely men who say this about any breed and it's the fault of the trainer and owner who are solitary losers. sorry just saying what I've seen. I believe you. And there is no hope for a dog raided that way. I've been attacked by dogs that are " doesn't like other dogs or people" it's not cool or badass just a incompetent owner
"Mistake No. 3, Ignoring Professional Advice" ????? Whaaaaaaaat? "Mistake #5 Punishing with Pain" ??? Talk to your vet??? What the HECK? (I stopped watching there) Too funny
