just got my new pup last saturday....
she's so naughty...after playing with her and putting her back into her cage she starts making the crying....middle of the night it gets louder...help!! i use newspaper scare her also no effect...

Hallooo... Sorry that I haven't replied to this thread. Been busy with work...

My 10-month old has not gone for classes. I've been trying to train him but looks like I will need to send him for obedience classes OR I need to do more walkies with him so that his energy will wear down low enough for me to train him. This fella knows "Sit" and a bit of "Stay". Can even "Beg" and "Speak" but can't seem to communicate well. He likes to nip people.

Well, some people will say getting a 2nd dog of different gender would be better. But in my case, with 1 male/female, both tends to fight a lot. The female is dominant, the male is aggressive. Now, the male has "urges" and will want to mount the female. I can't leave both dogs alone for a very long time because they will fight. So, the male is in the crate, while the other roams free. The male is crate-trained and so, accepts the crate as his bed and chill-out place.

Anyway, if you want to keep another dog; remember to introduce both in a neutral environment.

As usual with JRTs, you need a firm hand on both dogs!!

Added on October 22, 2008, 8:24 pmHmmmm... The pup is crying to get attention.

If possible, turn on the radio and keep the sound level low so that the pup can hear it. I tried this technique with my dogs and it works!

The thing is to ignore the crying as it's a cry for attention. If you are toilet-training your dog to pee/poo out of the house (in the garden or etc), better watch out for those "woof" sounds. Sometimes, those sounds are "alerts" to let you know that they need to go toilet!

Hope this helps you get more restful nights.

thanks for the advice...
the thing is that my pup barks when she sees anyone walking past her cage...if i ignore her then she keeps quite later...
my pup is going to b 2 months old on 1 nov...isn't it a bit too young to toilet train her?

Never too young to toilet train. The important thing about toilet training is to reprimand the wrong place of toilet and praise like crazy when they pee/poo at the right location. Of course, you got to catch the pup in action so that they can learn.

Be prepared for A LOT of accidents.

My 10-month old boy used to pee outside his cage because he can "aim".

My female, when she was a puppy used to make accidents right near the door of the room because she cannot "tahan" anymore.

Good luck.

How to train JRT not to run out when someone opens the gate, my russell keep running out of the house and day by day the runs further and further. I'm so worried he get banged by car or something, and later he got kutu and stuff when he comes back.

Wah. This one is a bit tricky. I'm also having the same problems with my 10-month-old.

Anyway, do you take your JRT out for walks? If so, I may suggest you try this...

1. Leash your JRT.
2. Have your JRT "sit and stay" before the gate is open. Have your hand on the leash. If your JRT pulls or tries to escape once the gate is open, have to correct and force them to sit.
3. Only allow them to go out when you give the command "OK" or you lead your JRT out.
4. Be patient. Have to keep trying until your JRT learns it.

I'm training my JRT to do this for all doors which he wants to go out from.

Other sifus... Any other suggestions?

Mine... I hold him first. When he try to walk .... I will say with a loud voice "NO" Sit down..... (pukul ...la... the bum a bit )

A couple of times.... now so easy... every time i open the gate he will sit and not run out....... even if there a cat there......

long time didnt come in here liao... we'll be expecting another Jack owner in here. lol...

Really??

From the MRDO, there are quite a number of Jack owners out there. It's better than what it was 4 years back when they couldn't recognize my Snoopy.

my jack russel alwys lick me b4 i go to bed y ah ?

Kiss you goodnite before you go to sleep-lo..

My JRT likes to lick me every time I come home from gym (salty taste)...

Tq for d compliments. All JRTs r super smart if u r willing to put in d effort n time to teach them. 2yo is a little late but not too late.

JRTs r hunting dogs n deir 1st instinct is to chase down anything that moves. Do not tempt fate by allowing your dog to run free at all times. JRT must be onleash when opening gates/ at areas with moving traffic.

aragorn has provided good training tips to gain some control over ur JRT, but bottom line is ur JRT shld b on leash as most have a tendency to run out of the front gates. JRTs feature highly on roadkill statistics.

dang...i am reading the past few postings on JRT....and i think this dog might not be suitable for me... seems like so full of energy....

although i kinda like it's size...small and easy to manage... but very worried about the huge energy this little dog has...hehe...

is this a good watch dog?

JRT saying, 'The only thing small about a JRT is its size, everything else about it is larger than life.'

Only manageable if u can provide plenty of exercise, play n training. With the right training, can be a good watch dog. However without supervision, may degenerate into excessive barking and become a nuisance to your neighbours. JRTs can bark fairly loud n r very persistent.
