How to handle a Jack Russell Terrier

My next door neighbour has a little Jack Russell dog he is beautiful, he certainly has a lot of beans and I have looked after him a few times, he is so strong, he used to take me for a run every day, agressive no, but likes a lot of attention, maybe your little fella uses this as a way to get attention do you think, I think you will find it would be esy to fix if you just find out why he is like that...good luck anyway....

I have a Jack Russell as well. And she is very aggressive & has been like this since she was a puppy. I've found this breed to be very aggressive quite honestly. I know from experience that aggressive dogs can be extremely difficult for one to handle.. Especially if the dog is getting more & more aggressive.. The only thing I can recommend to do is seeking help from a vet or even a behavioral professional.. That may be the best thing to do in a situation such as this one.. Finding a reliable, yet trusted trainer may help you out a great deal.. I have thought of doing this myself.. As eventually we want to have children in the future & don't want our dog to be to aggressive to young children.. So this is why we have thought it over & may go down this road eventually.. But I think all dogs sometimes act protective & territorial. I think it's normal in some ways unless it gets to the point where they start to bite someone who may visit your house.. Or they just don't listen & snarl at you.. If you are really concerned I'd enroll them in obedience training.. It's difficult one a dog grows older to teach them things on your own.. Because they are so used to acting a certain way that they sometimes won't budge.. So that's why a professional trainer may be able to help you more.. Also it sometimes helps one's dog to get involved in this type of training.. As it helps your dog to socialize with other dogs or people. I mean it is okay if a dog is being protective, but only when the master/owner allows it, not on his own discretion.
