Jack Russell Training
Lets talk about Jack Russell Training for a second. Training a Jack Russell Terrier can seem like a daunting task, but luckily they are extremely smart and loyal dogs, so training them is literally a breeze.
First off, getting them to do basic commands such as sit, stay, rollover, down, and fetch..are very easy. They’re a small breed of dog, and they learn commands very very fast.
We were able to train one Jack Russell Terrier in the matter of 3 days how to stay flawlessly.
How to Train a Jack Russell Terrier
First off, you’re going to need some dog treats. Those little biscuits you see at the pet store work perfectly for a small dog like a Jack Russell.
Next, do all of the basic commands with your Jack Russell…you know the ones, – sit, stay, lay down, roll over, come, etc. These are very easy to teach your Jack Russell.
One advanced technique is the “give me paw” training technique. First, train your Jack Russell the command “sit”.
Once your Jack Russell actually does the command you are trying to teach it, give him or her one of the dog treats that you picked up from the pet store. This is called positive re-inforcement and is a very effective way of training your Jack Russell. All this means is that when your dog successfully pulls off one of your commands, you positively reinforce that action with a dog treat.
Jack Russell Crate Training
The best way to get your Jack Russell used to going inside a crate is by doing some crate training.
At first, your Jack Russell will hate the crate! Do no be alarmed, this doesn’t last forever (even though it may seem like it). After a few nights in the cage, your dog will be accustomed to spending time in there, and will eventually get used to it. For the first few nights, play some music near the crate to calm your dog down, and put them at ease.
Then, every night before you go to bed, get one of your dog treats, and place the dog treat on top of the crate…forcing your Jack Russell to go inside. Once inside, take the treat and give them it. This again is positively reinforcing the crate, and that they will get a treat for going inside, and spending the night there. Eventually, what will happen is that your dog will automatically go inside the crate at night, just before you go to bed. This makes the crate an easy and smooth transition for when you are trying to go to sleep.
