Understand Your Jack Russell Ahead Of Training It

By Sherman Fiene


Jack Russell Terriers... could there be anything cuter? I remember the 1st time I observed one; a co-worker had brought his to work with him and this was basically love at first eyesight. As soon as he said she was going to have pups I mentioned I required one.

Mind you, I was not in the market for a dog at the time, but I couldn't resist the idea of owning one of these adorable little terriers. Adorable, yes, but as I came to learn later on they can also be stubborn and ornery. And these problems can be eliminated with jack russell training.

To start with, simply understanding exactly what they were initially bred for will provide you with a few inkling of whatever you may anticipate.

In fact, Jack Russell Terriers were first bred by Rev. John Russell in 1795 for the purpose of chasing out foxes that had gone into their burrows. To do this they needed to possess a great deal of stamina and courage. Another attribute of this tenacious little terrier is the ability to temper their aggressiveness in order to pursue the quarry without harming it.

One key to understanding your Jack Russell Terrier is appreciating their intelligence. Don't forget that they are foremost a working terrier. These athletic little dogs are a high energy breed; sturdy, tough and fearless.

Keeping these traits in mind makes it easy to understand why they require a great deal of exercise to keep from getting bored. It is quite possible for them to turn ornery and destructive when they don't have enough stimulation.

One of the best things you can do for yourself and your Jack Russell is to make sure he receives the proper jack russell training. The perfect time to begin is when he is still a young pup.

Starting out earlier will help you to create a powerful relationship in between you as well as your pup and therefore can make the entire training procedure easy as well as enjoyable. Whichever techniques you select, training your Jack Russell provides you with a dog that's equally a very important member of the family and also a pleasure to become near.
