Jack Russell Terrier Training: Three Basic Commands
By Richard Cussons of jackrussellsavvy.com
Some of the basic commands that must be included in your Jack Russell Terrier training are sit, stay and come. Regardless of your training objective, be it agility training or other more advance training, training your Jack Russell these basic things will help you move one step closer to your ambition of having a nicely mannered dog everybody loves to be around. As owner of Jack Russell, you probably knew that this breed has slight reputation of being stubborn due to their intelligence and fearless traits. Hence training may not be as easy as you think. But remember that training need not be complicated neither an impossible task for you. To start off, start with;
Come command.
Training the come command is best done with the aid of leash and collar. Issue the command come (preceded by your dog's name) and gently reel your pet into you. Giving the command preceded by your dog's name will help get your dog's attention and let him know that you are talking to him directly. When calling your dog, remember to use gentle tone of voice so as not to threaten him. Once your dog has mastered the come command, proceed with; Sit command.
Do this in a quiet environment to prevent your dog from being distracted. With treats in your hand, tell your dog to sit while moving the dog treat until just over his head. Naturally, your dog will look up and eventually sit to reach the treat. If he doesn't, gently push his rear down, praise him and give him the treat. Once your Jack Russell has mastered the command, gradually decrease the treat until such time when treats are not necessary anymore. Stay command.
Train this command in a quiet environment. Your dog in sit position, raise your hand with palm facing flat toward your dog, and say the command 'stay' while backing away. If your dog gets up or moves after you issue the command, say 'no' and return him to sitting position. When your dog stays for like half a minute, praise him. Rewards may be offered after the training session as this may cause your dog to move because of excitement. Dogs, especially puppies, have short attention span. Training session should only last 10 to 15 minutes to prevent them from getting bored. Make your Jack Russell Terrier training fun and always end the session with reward giving and play time. |
