5 excellent tips for training a Jack Russell
Training a Jack Russell creates nightmares for many owners of this cheeky and energetic dog breed. However, training can be simplified with the right breed-specific JRT training information. These five tips will help make your life easier while training your Jack Russell.
1. Be consistent
To get the best results from your training efforts, you need to be consistent. This means using the same words for each command, every time you use it. You can’t use “Off” to tell your dog to stop jumping one day and then use “Down” for the same command another day. Choose one word for each command and stick to it.
2. Exercise every day
JRTs need repetition to learn. This is why daily repetition of the latest training moves is essential to commit them to your dog’s memory. Make time to exercise every day, even if it’s just for a few minutes, and commit to making it a habit. The time before meals is a great time to exercise as you can use the food bowl for extra motivation.
3. Use positive reinforcement
Positive reinforcement means rewarding your dog for good behavior rather than punishing bad behavior. Jack Russells are strong-willed and tend to resist punishment, but are motivated by rewards. Avoid punishing your dogs for mistakes – they are part of the learning process and punishment will only create bad habits and fear issues which can lead to aggression.
4. Proper remuneration
To really motivate your dog to learn, you need to provide the right types of rewards. You want to be able to get your dog to follow new commands well as you teach them if you don’t provide them with compelling motivation. Experiment to find out which treats or toys your dog really likes the most and use them to help you get results in your Jack Russell training.
5. Have fun
It’s important to stay calm and not take training too seriously. There will be times when you go through your workout routine and nothing seems to improve. Don’t be discouraged. It is quite natural to have such cloths. Just stay consistent and keep practicing daily. Eventually, the new lessons will begin to click into place in your dog’s mind.
With these tips in mind, you should be able to move forward with your training efforts and start making more progress. But remember – without specific information about JRT, you are destined for an uphill battle!
