Prevent Canine Aggression Through Jack Russell Terrier Training
By Richard Cussons of jackrussellsavvy.com
Jack Russell Terrier training and canine aggression? What's the connect? As a dog owner, Jack Russell owner in particular, you should know that Jack Russell dogs are extremely intelligent and fearless dogs. At times, they can become stubborn and aggressive towards other animals as well as humans (especially dogs that are not properly socialized). How come a dog becomes aggressive? As pack animals, dogs thrive in groups. They do have a social structure in which one dog is dominant (leader or alpha) over other pack members. This leader or alpha has first access to all sources; food, mate, territory and other possessions. With this, conflicts occur as to who will be the leader of the group. Hence, it is very important that your pet learns who assumes the role of alpha or leader of the pack. I bet you do not want a hard, fixed, glassy-eyed stare that may be accompanied by erect body posture; stiff legs, ears forward, hackles raised, right? A dog that is not properly socialized as a puppy is another grass root why some dogs tend to become aggressive when they grow up. That explains why Jack Russell Terrier training should start with proper socialization. Socialization period begins around three weeks of age and commonly ends around 12 weeks of age. But in the case of Jack Russells, socialization should continue throughout their whole lives because of their unique characteristics. It is during socialization period when social investigation, playful fighting and playful sexual behavior is introduced to the puppy. This aims to develop the dog's social relationship towards other animals and people alike. You will know that your Jack Russell has a problem if:
- he growls at veterinarian, groomer or other unfamiliar people.
- you are unable to approach your dog while he's eating or you cannot ask him to get him off the couch.
- has bitten anyone.
- he stand tall, up on his toes, with ears up and forward; tail is wagging slowly and stiffly from side to side.
- his teeth are exposed.
- avoidance of direct eye contact
- submissive urination If you think your dog has a problem, do not wait any longer. It's time to see your vet and ask for advice. A meeting with a trainer or behaviorist with experience in aggressive dogs will help. Don't wait for someone to get hurt first before you do something. Act now before it's too late. |
