After we lost our Crocker spaniel we made a decision to start looking for a little dog. When to a local. pet adoption we met we met Morgan 3 month old Jack Chi all the dogs that I've had in my lifetime we never had a male . He really has never been a problem. He loved riding in my husbands truck. going for walks run bring any thing I throw back to me. I lost my husband. 1 yr ago. Mr Morgan has been a blessing . Thank you for helping me understand this little guy. I have had people ask me what a 70 something doing with a Jack chi., keeping very active.
I’m sorry to hear about your husband 😢Mr. Morgan certainly is a blessing 🕊They are so devoted, loyal and very intuitive. Our Murphee is almost 10yrs old and is my ESA. But, first and foremost, he is my loyal companion and friend 🥰 Bless you friend 🕊and be well 🙏
It's your dog so I don't want to tell you how to raise her, or educate her, Luna is so cute, but I have a jack Russell too, she is seven yo and she started a training to change her exuberant behavior because it is kinda impossible to take her on a peaceful walk and trust me, she doesn't need any shock collar. She is very smart, Jack Russell learn so fast and with the right exercises, treats and consistency in practice, she can get wherever you want. It's just an advice💕
Just found your channel, got me a JRT girl, she’s now 1 y. I’ve had dogs before (big dogs) so I thought I was an experienced dog owner but my girl sure taught me that I wasn’t 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I love this breed to the core, she my best teacher ever ❤️🐾🐾
I've had a Jack Russel, verry jong one, and i trained him from the beginning. At the age of one he could walk by my side without a lease, only on commando's. Just because i put a lot of time and love in this animal. Thanks for your videos!
I’ve been watching your videos for over 6 months after I met a Jack Russell and fell in love with one. I’m finally getting my puppy tomorrow from a breeder I waited for, and you’ve stopped making videos. Hope everything is okay! Thanks for your great tips!
In Australia this is a Parsons Russell Terrier. She has longer legs than a JRT. Best dogs ever. I love yours, lost mine in January last year and miss her heaps.
Looks like a Parsons to me too, but Jack Russells are all shapes and sizes and only recently recognised as a breed in both the UK (2016 I think) and the US (90s) Kennel Clubs, meanwhile there are thousands of Jack Russells out there with bloodlines that go back centuries. I think what we call a Parsons Russell is what the AKC recognises as a Jack Russell, so not confusing at all. Meanwhile my time-share JRT has legs somewhere in between the classic stumpy look and the longer Parsons' look and weighs nearly 30 pounds at 9 months old.
Wow, your JRT has so much energy. I taught my JRT to walk by me by keeping the leash snug and the dog by my side. Also use a lot of stop and go so he knows to walk by my side.
I’ve recently started walking a JRT and he doesn’t pull at all, he’s so polite on leash and it’s not because he’s trained. He doesn’t get walked nearly enough so I think he’s just so happy to be outside he behaves so he doesn’t have to go home. Almost feels like his little spirit is broken. Makes me sad to see your little girl so full of life
12 weeks in a harness pulling so hard that I’m often off balance. Reaches back and chomps down on the leash and won’t go any further unless she has a mind to go further. I often have to pick her up to get her back in the house. Tries to bite the lock off of the harness…
My mylo gotten better at walking since we walk him according to his schedules. Consistency plays a big part of it and of course stop pulling the leash. It works hand in hand.
Oh, Luna’s long legged! My short legged JRT, and 21.5lbs soon to be 8 months on the 4th is now experienced running while I bike. I got that pole that mounts onto the bike with a leash at the end of it from Amazon … she loved it the first time, and now 3rd time she was lying down near the end. She watches me as she runs… I excite her by saying run run run. I hope she’ll be able to go further, in time. As you said JRTs need to burn lots of energy. Thumbs up! Try to do a segment on bicycling.
If you as a person are a common element in the life of a JRT, you can expect the same behavior when your visible. Your feel/control of lead/voice commands are dynamic during development. You can’t give the keys to someone who has never drove a Corvette to drive responsible.
I love your videos. My JRT loves her collar and her harness. She loves clothes too. That being said, I don't take her on walks with the harness anymore. The harnesses seem to make her pull more! She is MUCH more polite when walked with her collar. She had YANKED my arm so hard it hurt for days when on a harness. She is a Trucking dog. She wears her harness when going down the road in the passenger seat. Her harness has a chest d-ring where her seat belt snaps on. After extensive training on our part, she acts like a Lady when she's leashed to her collar. My JRT wil be 5 yrs old in the end of December. I've never needed a shock collar for her. I did train her to walk, politely, with a choke collar. It only took about 3 days for her to get that pulling was uncomfortable. Her current collar is like your harness as it has the lock on it. I learned the hard way that those plastic connectors wear out and WILL open. Thankfully it happened AFTER she learned recall. she loves her regular collar so much, that when it opened, she FROZE in place and looked at us like: "HEY MOMMY! PUT THAT BACK ON ME!!!" I admit my JRT is a little odd... She doesn't do ALL the "bad" JRT things... Just some of them, and she does LOVE our cats, and they love her. I have 2 JRTs, one purebred, one is half Poodle. My neighbor has the litter-mate to the half poodle, and a JRT/ Boston mix. We have play dates every weekend that the weather allows. We have outside fences and throw all 4 dogs in together to play. They are thankfully exhausted at the end of the day!!!!
My JRT 4 months old dragged me down a slippery hill until I slipped and fell and broke my wrist. After getting a cast, she pushed me from behind trying to bite my ankles and I slipped on hardwood floors, fell, skinned up my leg and knee, and hit the floor so hard, the bones shifted in my wrist and I ended up having to have it surgically repaired two days later. Surrendered to Vet…
I'm lucky my JR walks right next to me almost always. he will pull here n there. but mostly he just wants to smell everything and not come when I tell him. but we r working on that. I got him when he was 3yr. these dogs are very very smart. but listen when they feel like it.
My female JRT fell from the sky and wiped away my tears after my little friend of 17 years died. She resembles your female JRT except for her tail which she still has. She arrived fully trained and obedient to a fault, we have no need for leads her pink Cubic Zirconia studded collar is for cosmetic purposes only, she's such a pretty girl. She's a great bird hunter and actually catches them but will release the birds on command which makes for some very confused birds. They are staring death in the eye only to be released.
I agree totally on the harness, mines an escape artist, she hates anything on her, even a collar, or anything that restricts her. It took me several attempts with the harness even and it had to be a little tighter then I had hoped but the collar was a disaster
Poor baby, he scratched his head like he was stressed out!! lol I am having the same issue with my 12wk old JRT/border collie. He loves to yank and pull
My jack russell is 15 weeks old and she refuses to go on a walk. She won’t even walk out the door to go potty. I have to carry her, once she’s in the yard she will walk around but if I move she stops and refuses to go any further. Help!
Our puppy did the same thing , we picked he up in Oklahoma in February and assumed maybe because of how cold it is here in Boston she didn’t want to be outside , she only wanted to be held and she would go on the puppy pads by 12 weeks she became house broken , just keep taking her outside . Now she is 17 weeks old and she loves going on walks
I am fostering a Parson Jack Russell, I actually found a video with a guy showing a technic that worked within 10 minutes!!! I COULDN'T believe it!!! it was super easy . Also no special gear or electric collars.
I so agree with you a harness especially with the Jack Russell. You need one especially when I lack a little bit of balance at times when she pulls me she can really make a mess with me lol. If you know what I'm saying down I go. It's not good. She sees a harness. She runs with her tail between her legs. She hates them no matter what kind I put on her. She hates them. You'd almost think that you punished her or something. I don't know what to do. What's your advice on one of the million things I have to ask you? LOL by the way, I completely love Luna. She is absolutely the most adorable hugs and kisses to that little darling❤❤
From my understanding they calm down tremendously at about 2 years but always hyper, a little less, mines about 8 or 9 months so I have a couple yrs to go
MY SHUBAEL, WAS WALKING DOWN ON CAPE COD.HE PICKED A BABIES DROPPED PACIFIER AND PUT IT INTO HIS MOUTH!!!!!!!!!!!!! The entire time of the walk, the pacifier was in his mouth! HYSTERICAL!
I love your videos I have a Jack Russell terrier mixed he’s 1 years old his name is Cubbie he wasn’t found on walking nicely on the leash we didn’t use a harness for him but he’s very well good with walking but my own concern with him is he doesn’t listen very well when I need him to any tips on what I can get him to he’s very good with potty training eats on scheduled time but he’s just very active and barks a lot but doesn’t bark on command his doesn’t really listen to his other commands like sit lay down stay or come he just naturally does it on his own but when he gets out of hand he refuses to listen
I dont't lik retractable leads for training I am still keeping in mind on our many walks per day that my Rat Terrier or JRT MIX rescue needs a calm waking carefully not too extreme meaning he's still skittish and we are figuring out how he fits in our housee neighborhood and socialization - will l look for a better fitting harness! Mountain dog leashes are warranted against chewing for life have replaced two lol better than the retractable leash - you uses the sound collar - I may have to look into one thx
That's one area that's been a problem with my Dory, I live in a small town with lots of traffic and people and she gets so excited, yes shes a car chaser so that's a big concern. I ordered a training collar but they didnt send the remote with it so I'm going to have to get one and that seems to be my only option at this point. Also, I'm in a wheelchair and that presents problems of it's own. Right now im using pads and I walk her late at night when there's less traffic and excitement
Hi there, just started watching the video ive got a 4 year old jack russel hes a bit difficult currently i fell down the stairs and my entire family had covid alot over the past year so hes struggling but hopefully we will get it right x
Love this guy. Very real. We’re working hard to train our new Jack and don’t feel like we’re making progress. But after watching these videos we are determined to train our Jack! Join me. You won’t regret it.
Did you notice that this harness loosened as Luna pulled during walks? We have one for our JRT and he pulls so much we have to tighten it a few times during walks
Your son did really well with her. You are a great teacher. My jrt discovered kids were easy to take food from. Their height disadvantage was perfect for my dog. Haha! He learned on his own women carry candy and gum or tums in their purses so I had to always warn company to keep your purse put up.
Hey bro thanks for the advice. My JRT name is coco and she is only a little over 6months. We just got her and I’m having issues with her pulling or trying to pull out of the harness when I walk her. She will just sit and pull away. Not like yours pulls your son. It’s pretty frustrating because she will sit there until I pick her up or pull her and I don’t want to do either. Il try the reward thing right now as I’m taking her on a walk. Thanks 🙏🏾
Hi! I just subscribed. I think Luna is beautiful. She's so well behaved for a pup of her age. I also have a Jack Russell. I love her to death. She's three years old now. I'm amazed at how smart she is. she picks up things so quickly. As far as training goes, the only problem I've really had with her is she barks at every dog in our neighborhood. She barks at the males, because she wants to play with them. With females, I think she wants to kill them. She gets very aggressive and loud. I think I need more training on how to train her to stop. I usually, tell her "no" and pick her up and carry her inside. I like the way you handle Luna. I hope to learn more by watching your channel. Hope you have a blessed week... :)
Jrt are super intelligent.your techniques aren’t needed. You must work with there instincts. Control them, but it’s not about your control. Work with them, let her be her breed!!
Hi Josh, thanks for the helpful videos! I have a 10 week old JRT puppy and she's pretty afraid to go for walks. She also gets super excited when she sees anyone and starts to cry when they leave or she can't keep playing with them. After that continuing to walk with her is a challenge. Any tips? :)
Keep at it. It gets better. They get better with this but it does take some time. You can also try eliminating potential social situations where this occurs so it can be a bit more peaceful.
I have a Jack Russell. She is 7 years old. She will stop eating and drinking sometimes. In a couple of days she will start up again. I hate that. She gets herself sick. Any tips? We have her on science diet. She has been to the vet many times. She also gags a lot. We took her to the vet recently because I worry about her when she gets sick. They put her on special food but she won't eat it. Sometimes she doesn't want to be by us and sleep in her cage. She always slept close to my husband for 6 years and now she wants to be left alone. I don't get her.
Something is definitely not right! Maybe consider making your own dog food, much healthier for your furry friend. I personally would seek out a competent vet. Good luck 🐕🙏
I have had my Jack Russell for about a month now I thought that the pee pad method wood work however it has not worth I'm having a very hard time housebreaking them any tips you can give me would be greatly appreciated
Please HELP me, I have a JRT, his name is Rocky. The problem i am having is he does not listen to us. If he is doing something and I say stop I might as welll be talking to the wall. I love him but he is stressing all of us out. I try to take him for a walk he does not like the noise outside.
Anything for chasing cats? My mom got one from a situation on wich he could have been killed, he has huge separation anxiety from her was wondering if it was since the other dog was killed infront of him? Also we stimulate him as much as possible but yet he still chases our cats when he's exhausted.
How about the eating everything they see. How do I know what's edible or poisons?? I'm handicap.And stuck in chair most of the time. And my prosthetic leg freaks him out. I have a JRT/ Mini chihuahua mix. But my Jax is all JRT from Every thing I read and hear. And he eats on everything. I would like to know about what. Mushrooms and which weeds/plants that might make him sick or worse...
My male jack/Chihuahua is neutered and weighs in at 30 pounds, the vet said he needs to lose weight.. he doesnt get much food so i cant see starving him.. what is normal weight for male neutered jacks?
If a dog was about to walk by I would drop in front of mine and look her right in the eyes, on her level, than give her some kibble while the dog passes.
Like rapid kibble rewards. Saying yes like 5 times. One for each kibble....saying "yes, yes, look at me, yes,look at me,yes " Now she just doesn't pay attention to them. She is 18 weeks old now and does great
How do you stop the crazy yelping/crying type they do. Everytime she sees another dog, animal etc., she just goes wild and the whole neighborhood hears her…once he can get to the other dog he is extremely happy
So lovely seeing your little boy walk Lunar. I lost my Susiewoo Jackrussell last year aged 17 & she grew up with my 3 children & I am heartbroken she has gone. Fabulous videos I am waiting while my health issues get sorted & will give another JRT a forever home in the future. 🐶
@@TerrierOwnermy male is mostly brown with some white on face, chest, was told he was rat terrier Chihuahua mix but I think he is a jack Russell terrier Chihuahua mix
Holy crap! It's Gary! He's 8.5 months. He's half blue heeler JRT. This is my life. Yes! He hops, runs all over the place, literally forget it if there's a squirrel, bike, skateboard, another dog - I thought this was the blue heeler in him. He's the only one who doesn't walk normal like all the other dogs 😂😭 It gets worse; I have MS & my legs hurt beyond breathing everyday. I blamed myself for not leash training him or getting a trainer; THIS! Idk how I even stumbled on this video while googling things. I'm the dog sitter; but let's be real, I've been with him everyday (except 2) since he was 8 weeks old. All day, sometimes nights & for weeks on end with me living with just him - I mostly feel like im going to die, but I wouldn't trade the last 8.5 months of my life for anything either. Im early in the video - I can't wait to see how this turns out. Ps. Yup circles 😂 - under bushes, under fences, INTO A VAN with a bunch of roofers. Dude, I'm tired - oh I see yours runs after cars too 🙌🏻 I walk gary 3 times a day 60 minute walks - it's a lot of sniffing tbh & tons of backyard running. I refuse to ever use a choke chain - can't do it. He stopped listening to his commands on walks & I've been really worried about it. Idiot across the street came over & apparently left the gate open...well, gary got out for the first time ever. I've never been more scared in my life & I mean it. After me going into a panic & screaming his commands as loud as I could - he came right back to me. He hasn't left my sight since & the neighbor is now banned. Gary does have a harness (I will look into the one you're recommending). He might grow though - he eats Jimmy dean sausage egg & cheese breakfast sandwiches & Cheetos yesterday. I also use a tough retractable leash. I was thinking about clicker training - screw it, I'm getting one. Yes I know his cues - imagine your dog + a cattle dog & welcome to my hell. He's still worth it & I think the collar thing you're talking about, even the vibrations or sounds would scare the shit out of him. He was terrified of a leaf earlier today. Idk anymore I'm saving your video - thank u again so much ❤️🐶
Gary will be one soon. I am honestly DYING. We can go to the park, hike the woods, play soccer, it never ends. We can be there for 4 hours - plus 2 almost hour walks. He is in a kind of weird fear phase again at 11.5 months; he gets scared of the most random things…..there was a pumpkin on the side of the road & he just started bolting on the leash…I made him come back & it kicked it a little to show him it’s not scary; he then explored it & we moved on. He literally has wind anxiety too. I can’t anymore 😂 he’s still the most loyal, fun, PERFECT nugget. He also ate the entire arm chair….this is a dog who is never alone for more than 30 minutes. He is always engaged. He owns several toy stores too. Let me tell you, Gary at 4 months was the best…Gary now…I call him “shredder.” He even chases the garbage truck & barks his head off. He has a harness. I probably have sucked at training; I just feel like I have done everything with him & he’s kinda buggin out on me at 11 months. He’s so friendly & sweet; but he’s also so fearful & IDK why. He has a herd of kids that all come by after school to see him 😂😂 he’s sooooo perfect & sweet. He doesn’t get scared with the kids, but don’t let him hear a random leaf roll by. I’m starting to feel like i made a mistake somewhere. I’m lost at how to make him more relaxed. He has his TH-cam calming music, but I’m starting to use calming treats & I feel bad about it. He’s just so edgy. Hopefully you have a video somewhere about the nervousness. Thanks for everything ❤❤ - he’s overcoming bikes - thank you….kids on scooters though 😮 Omg I feel like I’m a monster the way people look at me. I’m like “I’m sorry!!! He’s super sweet! He’s scared of wheels! I’m sorry!” *rude ass looks* ugh
hey Josh u remember me from commenting on ur other vidio??? Sorry, i need to improve my spelling. this year im getting a JRT After we move and settile in. Thanks for the vidio!!!
I recently got my second-JRT pup 14 years later after my adopted JRT past after owning & loving him for 16 wonderful years... (I just couldn’t imagine having a better dog🙃). Happily though this year was right time and somehow serendipitously a JRT pup as amazing as my first came our way- and maybe like @Botuxz -or others this might help-as our cutie was also just over 8 weeks old... BEST advice- like vid said- is to be consistent! ,) Even the very first few days and nights, (whenever asap) like every two-few hours I just took him out to a small grass patch to tinkle etc- get a feel of the grass to sniff around (*not only is it so0o cute to watch- 😆-but It is SO worth the effort!! They are incredibly fast learners and will “understand”-“Time to potty” or whatever is your que ,) ... for us it legit took only a few nights and very early mornings for him to learn to get through night w/ out any accidents and then only a few more weeks w/ out any issues in house. ...And as far as going for walks- I just gradually extended the walk area and times- taking que not to overdo it when he was younger. And YES! 😂JRTs LOVE their walks! We try & go at least 3-5 xs a day-and then after eating dinner, a funny round abt last of zoomies in house-and he’s OUT like a baby curled up on/by/ON (😆)us when we wind down at night- until start of day next morning ☺️... Also! I suggest to try and learn to “bell” train them w/ jingle bell on string at doorknob to hit it w/ his nose when the need to go out - Romeo learned this by 5 months old. Yup! 🙌😁. Again -just by being consistent w/ your commands, communication what you want them to do- {that is *PROVE TO YOU HOW MUCH THEY LOVE YOU by making you happy...😏”}.They are SO clever, intuitive and loyal. Those that don’t know- will see...! 😉Best of luck to the newbie JRT peeps and continued cool vibes to all other JRT owners out there! 😉 Thank you for doing these great vids- its been so fun to watch, laugh and totally agree with you and Luna! 😉❤️☮️
Anyone who lives in Northern California wants a one year old miniature jack Russell female short tale just pay for the micro chip and fees of their shots and she’s all urs. But message me if ur interested. I don’t want to profit just need to get her into a good home and recoup some fees back for the owner. She’s totally free.
I weighed mine about a month ago when he was 8 months old, using the bathroom scales method where I weighed myself (dear God...) then weighed myself again holding him and subtracted the original weight. This would have gone smoother if I didn't have to cope with holding a burly dog that doesn't like being picked up, and having to try to read the scales with my belly getting in the way. He was 26lbs back then and has filled out more since.
Haha here's another thing. She will not move. She will paralyze herself if she's wearing a beet collar. I just can't win. What do I do? Help me please😂😊 Jack
My little female likes to chew the harnesses up, so she has a standard collar, my male loved his harness till he outgrrew it he is 30 pounds, little girl is 20 pounds
You put on the harness the wrong way. If you notice there is a handle on the other side and that should be at the top not in the chest. In case that there’s other dog that is walking and attack your dog you can carry your dog through that handle easily.
He said he's in Illinois. While I agree with your comment completely, it's still a step up from torturing your dog with a Bears game. I think you are on to something though... It's likely that the dog didn't attain its calmness from quality training techniques, because It's impossible for any animal to show excitement when being walked by a guy in a Chiefs jersey.

It is a very good thing, as a 3-year-old boy’s parent and an owner of JRT. It can help your kid and doggie both to get tired, at the same time 🤣
My jack Russel is about 11 months and is still pulling that is why I’m watching this ;)
I like your videos they are helping me with my Jack Russell Terrier she is 2 years old and I'm learning things all the time

It's your dog so I don't want to tell you how to raise her, or educate her, Luna is so cute, but I have a jack Russell too, she is seven yo and she started a training to change her exuberant behavior because it is kinda impossible to take her on a peaceful walk and trust me, she doesn't need any shock collar. She is very smart, Jack Russell learn so fast and with the right exercises, treats and consistency in practice, she can get wherever you want. It's just an advice💕
Just found your channel, got me a JRT girl, she’s now 1 y. I’ve had dogs before (big dogs) so I thought I was an experienced dog owner but my girl sure taught me that I wasn’t 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I love this breed to the core, she my best teacher ever ❤️🐾🐾
Thank you! The harness is the 1st step to succeed most safe for all involved. Doing great, keep doing more
I've had a Jack Russel, verry jong one, and i trained him from the beginning. At the age of one he could walk by my side without a lease, only on commando's. Just because i put a lot of time and love in this animal. Thanks for your videos!
I’ve been watching your videos for over 6 months after I met a Jack Russell and fell in love with one. I’m finally getting my puppy tomorrow from a breeder I waited for, and you’ve stopped making videos. Hope everything is okay!
Thanks for your great tips!
In Australia this is a Parsons Russell Terrier. She has longer legs than a JRT. Best dogs ever. I love yours, lost mine in January last year and miss her heaps.
They are definitely the best dogs! Luna and I agree!
Looks like a Parsons to me too, but Jack Russells are all shapes and sizes and only recently recognised as a breed in both the UK (2016 I think) and the US (90s) Kennel Clubs, meanwhile there are thousands of Jack Russells out there with bloodlines that go back centuries.

Meanwhile my time-share JRT has legs somewhere in between the classic stumpy look and the longer Parsons' look and weighs nearly 30 pounds at 9 months old.
Wow, your JRT has so much energy. I taught my JRT to walk by me by keeping the leash snug and the dog by my side. Also use a lot of stop and go so he knows to walk by my side.
What a lovely little boy ...so good with the dig ❤
Dog
I own a 5 month old jack Russell and she loves to pull on the leash
I’ve recently started walking a JRT and he doesn’t pull at all, he’s so polite on leash and it’s not because he’s trained. He doesn’t get walked nearly enough so I think he’s just so happy to be outside he behaves so he doesn’t have to go home. Almost feels like his little spirit is broken. Makes me sad to see your little girl so full of life
Thank you so much for these videos! Great info!
You are so welcome!
12 weeks in a harness pulling so hard that I’m often off balance. Reaches back and chomps down on the leash and won’t go any further unless she has a mind to go further. I often have to pick her up to get her back in the house. Tries to bite the lock off of the harness…
My mylo gotten better at walking since we walk him according to his schedules. Consistency plays a big part of it and of course stop pulling the leash. It works hand in hand.
Hi Luna. Omg she's so sweet. I do want to mention that Gary does enjoy sleeping a lot too.
Oh, Luna’s long legged! My short legged JRT, and 21.5lbs soon to be 8 months on the 4th is now experienced running while I bike. I got that pole that mounts onto the bike with a leash at the end of it from Amazon … she loved it the first time, and now 3rd time she was lying down near the end. She watches me as she runs… I excite her by saying run run run. I hope she’ll be able to go further, in time. As you said JRTs need to burn lots of energy. Thumbs up! Try to do a segment on bicycling.
Awesome way to get in some exercise with your JRT.
Chase them? Like rollerblades, skateboards, cars, - anything? What is with the chasing! My god
If you as a person are a common element in the life of a JRT, you can expect the same behavior when your visible. Your feel/control of lead/voice commands are dynamic during development. You can’t give the keys to someone who has never drove a Corvette to drive responsible.
My Marie is almost 1 year old, just like your dogy. She needs to walk to learn besides me. Look forward to your next tips. Thanks
I love your videos. My JRT loves her collar and her harness. She loves clothes too. That being said, I don't take her on walks with the harness anymore. The harnesses seem to make her pull more! She is MUCH more polite when walked with her collar. She had YANKED my arm so hard it hurt for days when on a harness. She is a Trucking dog.

I admit my JRT is a little odd... She doesn't do ALL the "bad" JRT things... Just some of them, and she does LOVE our cats, and they love her. I have 2 JRTs, one purebred, one is half Poodle.

Thank you so much, my JR is ridiculous on a leash, and all training vids show the most well-behaved dogs instead of reality haha
Happy to help!
I'm glad to have found your channel; wish I found it sooner.
My JRT 4 months old dragged me down a slippery hill until I slipped and fell and broke my wrist. After getting a cast, she pushed me from behind trying to bite my ankles and I slipped on hardwood floors, fell, skinned up my leg and knee, and hit the floor so hard, the bones shifted in my wrist and I ended up having to have it surgically repaired two days later. Surrendered to Vet…
My goodness, sorry to hear.
I'm lucky my JR walks right next to me almost always. he will pull here n there. but mostly he just wants to smell everything and not come when I tell him. but we r working on that. I got him when he was 3yr. these dogs are very very smart. but listen when they feel like it.
Sounds like mine she’s 5 months and runs in yard sniffing around only sometimes she likes to not hear me calling her to come back inside
My female JRT fell from the sky and wiped away my tears after my little friend of 17 years died. She resembles your female JRT except for her tail which she still has. She arrived fully trained and obedient to a fault, we have no need for leads her pink Cubic Zirconia studded collar is for cosmetic purposes only, she's such a pretty girl. She's a great bird hunter and actually catches them but will release the birds on command which makes for some very confused birds. They are staring death in the eye only to be released.
I "may" subscribe, like and bell but only after I've viewed your video and decided that I want to see more!
I agree totally on the harness, mines an escape artist, she hates anything on her, even a collar, or anything that restricts her. It took me several attempts with the harness even and it had to be a little tighter then I had hoped but the collar was a disaster
I have a 30 foot long leash which I use in wide open spaces.
The harness you show, my dog has learnt to stop and reverse to slip it if she sees another dog.
There is one where you can tighten the neck but also Jacks have small necks and it way to slip out backwards.
How do you train a jack Russell terrier to come when you call him
JOSH : YOU PUT THE LEASH AND HARNESS ON A JRT AN THEN TEHY TELL YOU !! WHERE THEY WANT TO GO! HA!
Poor baby, he scratched his head like he was stressed out!! lol I am having the same issue with my 12wk old JRT/border collie. He loves to yank and pull
How do you stop the dog from completely losing it when passing other dogs?
My jack russell is 15 weeks old and she refuses to go on a walk. She won’t even walk out the door to go potty. I have to carry her, once she’s in the yard she will walk around but if I move she stops and refuses to go any further. Help!
Our puppy did the same thing , we picked he up in Oklahoma in February and assumed maybe because of how cold it is here in Boston she didn’t want to be outside , she only wanted to be held and she would go on the puppy pads by 12 weeks she became house broken , just keep taking her outside . Now she is 17 weeks old and she loves going on walks
I am fostering a Parson Jack Russell, I actually found a video with a guy showing a technic that worked within 10 minutes!!! I COULDN'T believe it!!! it was super easy . Also no special gear or electric collars.
What's the video? 😊
I so agree with you a harness especially with the Jack Russell. You need one especially when I lack a little bit of balance at times when she pulls me she can really make a mess with me lol. If you know what I'm saying down I go. It's not good. She sees a harness. She runs with her tail between her legs. She hates them no matter what kind I put on her. She hates them. You'd almost think that you punished her or something. I don't know what to do. What's your advice on one of the million things I have to ask you? LOL by the way, I completely love Luna. She is absolutely the most adorable hugs and kisses to that little darling❤❤
From my understanding they calm down tremendously at about 2 years but always hyper, a little less, mines about 8 or 9 months so I have a couple yrs to go
MY SHUBAEL, WAS WALKING DOWN ON CAPE COD.HE PICKED A BABIES DROPPED PACIFIER AND PUT IT INTO HIS MOUTH!!!!!!!!!!!!! The entire time of the walk, the pacifier was in his mouth! HYSTERICAL!
Yup.. I know the walk
I love your videos I have a Jack Russell terrier mixed he’s 1 years old his name is Cubbie he wasn’t found on walking nicely on the leash we didn’t use a harness for him but he’s very well good with walking but my own concern with him is he doesn’t listen very well when I need him to any tips on what I can get him to he’s very good with potty training eats on scheduled time but he’s just very active and barks a lot but doesn’t bark on command his doesn’t really listen to his other commands like sit lay down stay or come he just naturally does it on his own but when he gets out of hand he refuses to listen
I dont't lik retractable leads for training I am still keeping in mind on our many walks per day that my Rat Terrier or JRT MIX rescue needs a calm waking carefully not too extreme meaning he's still skittish and we are figuring out how he fits in our housee neighborhood and socialization - will l look for a better fitting harness! Mountain dog leashes are warranted against chewing for life have replaced two lol better than the retractable leash - you uses the sound collar - I may have to look into one thx
That's one area that's been a problem with my Dory, I live in a small town with lots of traffic and people and she gets so excited, yes shes a car chaser so that's a big concern. I ordered a training collar but they didnt send the remote with it so I'm going to have to get one and that seems to be my only option at this point. Also, I'm in a wheelchair and that presents problems of it's own. Right now im using pads and I walk her late at night when there's less traffic and excitement
Hi there, just started watching the video ive got a 4 year old jack russel hes a bit difficult currently i fell down the stairs and my entire family had covid alot over the past year so hes struggling but hopefully we will get it right x
Hi TerrierOwner, your channel is amazing. How old is yours and when did you start training it.
Love this guy. Very real. We’re working hard to train our new Jack and don’t feel like we’re making progress. But after watching these videos we are determined to train our Jack! Join me. You won’t regret it.
Did you notice that this harness loosened as Luna pulled during walks? We have one for our JRT and he pulls so much we have to tighten it a few times during walks
No I didn’t have that issue
Are you using the same harness?
@@TerrierOwner not currently, but we’re about to switch to the one you recommend!
Your son did really well with her. You are a great teacher. My jrt discovered kids were easy to take food from. Their height disadvantage was perfect for my dog. Haha! He learned on his own women carry candy and gum or tums in their purses so I had to always warn company to keep your purse put up.
Hey bro thanks for the advice. My JRT name is coco and she is only a little over 6months. We just got her and I’m having issues with her pulling or trying to pull out of the harness when I walk her. She will just sit and pull away. Not like yours pulls your son. It’s pretty frustrating because she will sit there until I pick her up or pull her and I don’t want to do either. Il try the reward thing right now as I’m taking her on a walk. Thanks 🙏🏾
Hi! I just subscribed. I think Luna is beautiful. She's so well behaved for a pup of her age. I also have a Jack Russell. I love her to death. She's three years old now. I'm amazed at how smart she is. she picks up things so quickly. As far as training goes, the only problem I've really had with her is she barks at every dog in our neighborhood. She barks at the males, because she wants to play with them. With females, I think she wants to kill them. She gets very aggressive and loud. I think I need more training on how to train her to stop. I usually, tell her "no" and pick her up and carry her inside. I like the way you handle Luna. I hope to learn more by watching your channel. Hope you have a blessed week... :)
That’s funny 😄 because my Murphee is a male and loves the females but hates the males🤣👍
Jrt are super intelligent.your techniques aren’t needed.
You must work with there instincts. Control them, but it’s not about your control.
Work with them, let her be her breed!!
That's a Jack Russell taking you for a drag!😊
Thank you, once again!!!!!
My pleasure!
My dog doesn't like loud noise like loud trucks why
My little girl is terrified of big trucks and loud noises and tries to run back into the house, we are working on that situation
Hi Josh, thanks for the helpful videos! I have a 10 week old JRT puppy and she's pretty afraid to go for walks. She also gets super excited when she sees anyone and starts to cry when they leave or she can't keep playing with them. After that continuing to walk with her is a challenge. Any tips? :)
Keep at it. It gets better. They get better with this but it does take some time.
You can also try eliminating potential social situations where this occurs so it can be a bit more peaceful.
@@TerrierOwner thanks for the advice. We'll definitely try that! :)
I would like to ask if you can walk a Jack Russell off lead.
I have a Jack Russell. She is 7 years old. She will stop eating and drinking sometimes. In a couple of days she will start up again. I hate that. She gets herself sick. Any tips? We have her on science diet. She has been to the vet many times. She also gags a lot. We took her to the vet recently because I worry about her when she gets sick. They put her on special food but she won't eat it. Sometimes she doesn't want to be by us and sleep in her cage. She always slept close to my husband for 6 years and now she wants to be left alone. I don't get her.
Something is definitely not right! Maybe consider making your own dog food, much healthier for your furry friend. I personally would seek out a competent vet. Good luck 🐕🙏
@@dianelaliberte1878 Thank you but she has passed away.
💔
Thank you. Why are you up at 3am? 👍🏻
My 1 year old jrx barks at everything including the wind. I'm going to attempt to walk him again after my hols xx
Why did you amputate a perfectly good tail ?
This is how we got adopted her.
I have had my Jack Russell for about a month now I thought that the pee pad method wood work however it has not worth I'm having a very hard time housebreaking them any tips you can give me would be greatly appreciated
Please HELP me, I have a JRT, his name is Rocky. The problem i am having is he does not listen to us. If he is doing something and I say stop I might as welll be talking to the wall. I love him but he is stressing all of us out. I try to take him for a walk he does not like the noise outside.
Anything for chasing cats? My mom got one from a situation on wich he could have been killed, he has huge separation anxiety from her was wondering if it was since the other dog was killed infront of him? Also we stimulate him as much as possible but yet he still chases our cats when he's exhausted.
How about the eating everything they see. How do I know what's edible or poisons??
I'm handicap.And stuck in chair most of the time. And my prosthetic leg freaks him out. I have a JRT/
Mini chihuahua mix. But my Jax is all JRT from Every thing I read and hear. And he eats on everything. I would like to know about what. Mushrooms and which weeds/plants that might make him sick or worse...
My male jack/Chihuahua is neutered and weighs in at 30 pounds, the vet said he needs to lose weight.. he doesnt get much food so i cant see starving him.. what is normal weight for male neutered jacks?
What size harness are JRTs normally? Love the videos!
Small I would say is most common but measuring is definitely your best bet!
C'mon. At 5:30 you had to pick up that poop. Mentioning you gotta come back and get it doesn't work.
Hey great ch. what brand of collar is that ?
Thanks
Maybe you should get Luna a sled dog harness and a wagon.
Yes shela wants to pull me and cart I pull on least to stop her help
I have a question i have a jack Russell 8weeks old when can i take him outside for a walk?
is luna a Parson russell terrier?
What about when walking by other dogs my scout is good until we see another dog than looses it
If a dog was about to walk by I would drop in front of mine and look her right in the eyes, on her level, than give her some kibble while the dog passes.
Like rapid kibble rewards. Saying yes like 5 times. One for each kibble....saying "yes, yes, look at me, yes,look at me,yes "
Now she just doesn't pay attention to them.
She is 18 weeks old now and does great
Still works
@@opusjosh oh smart ill that
my jack russell keeps biting the leash :(
Same
How do you stop the crazy yelping/crying type they do. Everytime she sees another dog, animal etc., she just goes wild and the whole neighborhood hears her…once he can get to the other dog he is extremely happy
So lovely seeing your little boy walk Lunar. I lost my Susiewoo Jackrussell last year aged 17 & she grew up with my 3 children & I am heartbroken she has gone. Fabulous videos I am waiting while my health issues get sorted & will give another JRT a forever home in the future. 🐶
How does she act with ur son
So where are the tips? Use a harness and a flexi lead?
Just a question are JR s normally white n brown ? Ours is White n black . Is there any preference in colour or patch?
No preference and they can have multiple colors or patches.
@@TerrierOwnermy male is mostly brown with some white on face, chest, was told he was rat terrier Chihuahua mix but I think he is a jack Russell terrier Chihuahua mix
Holy crap! It's Gary! He's 8.5 months. He's half blue heeler JRT. This is my life. Yes! He hops, runs all over the place, literally forget it if there's a squirrel, bike, skateboard, another dog - I thought this was the blue heeler in him. He's the only one who doesn't walk normal like all the other dogs 😂😭 It gets worse; I have MS & my legs hurt beyond breathing everyday. I blamed myself for not leash training him or getting a trainer; THIS! Idk how I even stumbled on this video while googling things. I'm the dog sitter; but let's be real, I've been with him everyday (except 2) since he was 8 weeks old. All day, sometimes nights & for weeks on end with me living with just him - I mostly feel like im going to die, but I wouldn't trade the last 8.5 months of my life for anything either. Im early in the video - I can't wait to see how this turns out. Ps. Yup circles 😂 - under bushes, under fences, INTO A VAN with a bunch of roofers. Dude, I'm tired - oh I see yours runs after cars too 🙌🏻 I walk gary 3 times a day 60 minute walks - it's a lot of sniffing tbh & tons of backyard running. I refuse to ever use a choke chain - can't do it. He stopped listening to his commands on walks & I've been really worried about it. Idiot across the street came over & apparently left the gate open...well, gary got out for the first time ever. I've never been more scared in my life & I mean it. After me going into a panic & screaming his commands as loud as I could - he came right back to me. He hasn't left my sight since & the neighbor is now banned. Gary does have a harness (I will look into the one you're recommending). He might grow though - he eats Jimmy dean sausage egg & cheese breakfast sandwiches & Cheetos yesterday. I also use a tough retractable leash. I was thinking about clicker training - screw it, I'm getting one. Yes I know his cues - imagine your dog + a cattle dog & welcome to my hell. He's still worth it & I think the collar thing you're talking about, even the vibrations or sounds would scare the shit out of him. He was terrified of a leaf earlier today. Idk anymore I'm saving your video - thank u again so much ❤️🐶
Gary will be one soon. I am honestly DYING. We can go to the park, hike the woods, play soccer, it never ends. We can be there for 4 hours - plus 2 almost hour walks.
He is in a kind of weird fear phase again at 11.5 months; he gets scared of the most random things…..there was a pumpkin on the side of the road & he just started bolting on the leash…I made him come back & it kicked it a little to show him it’s not scary; he then explored it & we moved on. He literally has wind anxiety too. I can’t anymore 😂 he’s still the most loyal, fun, PERFECT nugget. He also ate the entire arm chair….this is a dog who is never alone for more than 30 minutes. He is always engaged. He owns several toy stores too. Let me tell you, Gary at 4 months was the best…Gary now…I call him “shredder.” He even chases the garbage truck & barks his head off. He has a harness. I probably have sucked at training; I just feel like I have done everything with him & he’s kinda buggin out on me at 11 months. He’s so friendly & sweet; but he’s also so fearful & IDK why. He has a herd of kids that all come by after school to see him 😂😂 he’s sooooo perfect & sweet. He doesn’t get scared with the kids, but don’t let him hear a random leaf roll by. I’m starting to feel like i made a mistake somewhere. I’m lost at how to make him more relaxed. He has his TH-cam calming music, but I’m starting to use calming treats & I feel bad about it. He’s just so edgy. Hopefully you have a video somewhere about the nervousness. Thanks for everything ❤❤
- he’s overcoming bikes - thank you….kids on scooters though 😮 Omg I feel like I’m a monster the way people look at me. I’m like “I’m sorry!!! He’s super sweet! He’s scared of wheels! I’m sorry!” *rude ass looks* ugh
retractable leashes no bueno.
My dog when I walk her good when I leave her out side HEY GET BACK HEREEEEE...
hey Josh u remember me from commenting on ur other vidio??? Sorry, i need to improve my spelling. this year im getting a JRT After we move and settile in. Thanks for the vidio!!!
Best of luck!
I recently got my second-JRT pup 14 years later after my adopted JRT past after owning & loving him for 16 wonderful years... (I just couldn’t imagine having a better dog🙃).
Happily though this year was right time and somehow serendipitously a JRT pup as amazing as my first came our way- and maybe like @Botuxz -or others this might help-as our cutie was also just over 8 weeks old...
BEST advice- like vid said- is to be consistent! ,)
Even the very first few days and nights, (whenever asap) like every two-few hours I just took him out to a small grass patch to tinkle etc- get a feel of the grass to sniff around (*not only is it so0o cute to watch- 😆-but It is SO worth the effort!! They are incredibly fast learners and will “understand”-“Time to potty” or whatever is your que ,) ... for us it legit took only a few nights and very early mornings for him to learn to get through night w/ out any accidents and then only a few more weeks w/ out any issues in house. ...And as far as going for walks- I just gradually extended the walk area and times- taking que not to overdo it when he was younger. And YES! 😂JRTs LOVE their walks! We try & go at least 3-5 xs a day-and then after eating dinner, a funny round abt last of zoomies in house-and he’s OUT like a baby curled up on/by/ON (😆)us when we wind down at night- until start of day next morning ☺️... Also! I suggest to try and learn to “bell” train them w/ jingle bell on string at doorknob to hit it w/ his nose when the need to go out - Romeo learned this by 5 months old. Yup! 🙌😁. Again -just by being consistent w/ your commands, communication what you want them to do- {that is *PROVE TO YOU HOW MUCH THEY LOVE YOU by making you happy...😏”}.They are SO clever, intuitive and loyal. Those that don’t know- will see...! 😉Best of luck to the newbie JRT peeps and continued cool vibes to all other JRT owners out there! 😉 Thank you for doing these great vids- its been so fun to watch, laugh and totally agree with you and Luna! 😉❤️☮️
Anyone who lives in Northern California wants a one year old miniature jack Russell female short tale just pay for the micro chip and fees of their shots and she’s all urs. But message me if ur interested. I don’t want to profit just need to get her into a good home and recoup some fees back for the owner. She’s totally free.
WELL THAT WAS 18 MINUTES I WILL NEVER GET BACK !!
Mine is a 25 lbs beast 🤣😂
25 lb is definitely a beast of a JR
She's nothing but muscle 🤣😂
I weighed mine about a month ago when he was 8 months old, using the bathroom scales method where I weighed myself (dear God...) then weighed myself again holding him and subtracted the original weight. This would have gone smoother if I didn't have to cope with holding a burly dog that doesn't like being picked up, and having to try to read the scales with my belly getting in the way. He was 26lbs back then and has filled out more since.
Mine too and being all lean muscle makes him a bit hard to handle on a walk
Haha here's another thing. She will not move. She will paralyze herself if she's wearing a beet collar. I just can't win. What do I do? Help me please😂😊 Jack
RN4L!!!!
My little female likes to chew the harnesses up, so she has a standard collar, my male loved his harness till he outgrrew it he is 30 pounds, little girl is 20 pounds
why no tail
she is adopted. they got her that way
“Quick episode” video is 18 minutes 😂
You put on the harness the wrong way. If you notice there is a handle on the other side and that should be at the top not in the chest. In case that there’s other dog that is walking and attack your dog you can carry your dog through that handle easily.
3:30am 🤣🤷🏼♂️
You didn’t pick his shit up. Irresponsible and disgusting to leave that in your community
Is it annoying you?
It does...just basics mate
A cross country tournament - don't even put that energy out there into my life please.
Too much waffle. Please get to the point. Plus this is just 18 minute of this guys opinion. Nothing structured and a waste of time. Sorry.
My 2 Jack's like to.lick everything. I have a 5 year old and a 5 month old it's Amazing how much they love each other.
Did u really let your dog crap in the street? if your kid can walk him then picking up after is part of it, that was not cool
😂🤣
It's absolute animal abuse to have your dog sit through Chiefs games!
He said he's in Illinois. While I agree with your comment completely, it's still a step up from torturing your dog with a Bears game. I think you are on to something though... It's likely that the dog didn't attain its calmness from quality training techniques, because It's impossible for any animal to show excitement when being walked by a guy in a Chiefs jersey.
