Thanks :. Hi Lily, anxious dogs need more activity than anything else. Also, you can incorporate some tricks into fetching and have a ball as a reward. Take lots of high-value treats sausages, cheese, liver treats…and cut them into really small pieces and go for a walk. Use this kind of treats only for such situations. The point of this is for him to connect other dogs with extra yummy treats. There are lots of good reads around the internet search reactive dogs and some great books to help you.
Stay calm and do your best, but once again, hiring good dog trainer will help the most. Also, you can ask your vet if he recommends some kind of medication for anxiety. Good luck, Ana. Thank you! Hes much calmer on walks and im going to begin teaching him some tricks. Hes much calmer around dogs as they pass and has only barked once or twice in the last few days.
Once again thanks for the advice, Lily x. You can also use well-known tricks sit, heel, spin, touch… to occupy his attention while other dogs are passing by. Always look at him for a clue how he feels anxious, relaxed, worried and try not to go over his edge of relaxed. Regards, Ana. Thanks for the good ideas! I never thought about hiding treats!
What fun! You should add playing with a balloon to the list. Hi Abbey, playing with a balloon is a great suggestion, thank you.

Then learn which treats are high value for him as high value treats work much better in emotion change.
Also, try doing some easy tricks which he knows really good. When you see he relaxed after few sessions on same distance you can take him a bit closer to strangers. Again, as aggressive dogs can make much damage and therefore it can end bad for him, find good dog trainer with experience in such situations and follow his instructions. It will take lot of work, but it can be done. Yes, they can tend to get a little bit territorial but usually will work this out amongst themselves with a little bit of direction.
My dogs have always been an integral part of my family. That means that they are treated to some degree like children. I also practice falconry and use them for hunting, which they excel at. I have found that a good blend of socializing with the family as well as allowing them to hunt tends to produce a very stable and happy dog. Most of my Jack Russells have lived 17 to 18 years so if they are properly cared for and given appropriate outlets for their Boundless Energy and hunting skills, they tend to do very well.
Hi Steven, thank you for your correction. As I see it, that problem comes mostly from lack of socialization which they need a lot and lack of activity. So, it seems like your combination of socialization, training, affection and hunting is the winning combination. Regards, Ana. Coco is a female almost 11 years old. She went for puppy training and also advanced training.
She has a tendency to bite my other dogs. But wont let go. This has lead to me having to put to sleep 3 dogs already. It broke my heart. She is so part of my life. She has recently attacked my other rescue jack russel cross doggie. I put Snippie to sleep, my heart just keeps on saying it is not Coco. Now she went for my little dachy cross. I have another jack russel, male castrated, all my dogs are sterilised.
I dont know what to do, many people has told me to put coco to sleep, but i just cant, and at the same time i cant put another innocent doggie to sleep because of injuries. They all sleep on the bed with me, i spend at least half an hour in the afternoon with them, playing etc. How can i handle this. Please i need advice.
Hi Petro, I understand you are in difficult position. Such things could be a matter of socialization and training, but some times some dogs just do some unexplained things no matter how much training they received.
Some dogs are not intended to live with other dogs, some of them should live in one dog household. From those dogs who still live with you, is she going after them too or is she maybe in good relations with them? Did you consider rehoming some of them? Or you can try to solve it.
Also, 30 min a day with such active breed is wway too short, so her frustration may come from pent up energy. Good luck and think about safety first. Also i feed her dry food ivory coat i feed her twice a day how much food should i put in her bowl.
Any advice would be great thank you Alisa. Hi Alisa, congrats on your new family addition. In which situations does she growl at him? Is she maybe protecting food or toys? The three breeds do look alike with a few differences, such as their body height and shape.
Did you know Jack Russell terriers can jump as high as five feet? These pups are also known for their endurance: they can run long distances and can even burrow underground and wait for days on end to chase out their prey not an ideal situation due to dehydration.
Does this mean that all JRTs will have a propensity for deafness? Not necessarily, says the National Institutes of Health.
