I have an irish jack russell (short legged) called Kylie, she's a pleasure! When i first got her i made sure i introduced her to the back yard first and then let her in the house but onlyy at my command to get inside , so she knows straight away who's the boss. She loves learnin tricks, you know sit, jump, etc... As she loves hunts squirrells and foxes we go to the fields so she can practice her hunting skills (mind you she never catches anything!). Oh, she loves pleying with balloons and fotballs as well. Give your jack russell a good power walk on the leash (20 mins at leaast) before taking them to dog park or to the fields (luckily we've got plenty of green fields in England). Believe me, plenty of exercise and mental stimulation will make your jack russell a happier dog and a calmer on too!!


I have a jack russell cross lakeland terrior. We had him at 7 weeks old and my son had just turned one and they get on fine. He is also socialised with my 3 very boystrous nephews in which he loves to play footie with and also my other very young nephew and he is the same. he has tolerated hair pulling and being sat on by my child and understands it is my place to tell of my child. he is very chalm and knows his place. we never did anthing special just always treated them both the same and gave the dog his special time of playing when my child had gone to bed.
