Jack Russell Terrier Housebreaking

The Ins & Outs of Jack Russell Terrier Housebreaking

Okay, so you just brought your new and very cute Jack puppy home, and lo and behold you've already found little puddles on your brand new carpet.

Remember, a puppy will need to relieve himself at least a dozen times a day and it's up to you to direct him as to where and when he does it.
Teaching a new puppy how to be housebroken is the first training challenge an owner faces.

But Jack Russells are very intelligent and quick to understand.

With a little diligence on your part it shouldn't take so very long to create a Jack Russell Terrier housebreaking graduate and have your adorable new addition be perfectly house trained.

Right after meals the puppy should be taken outdoors to relieve himself.

Also, encourage him to use the same area each time.

Eventually he will become attached to his special place and it will become a matter of routine.

Be certain to praise him when elimination takes place because this will encourage him to repeat this behavior after each meal.

Praise is an integral part of Jack Russell Terrier housebreaking.

It can be helpful if, from the start you use a command that the dog will always relate to this daily action...though it should be something not too graphic, as neighbors might not understand.

But make sure you don't use a command word that you use in any other way because, as you can imagine, THAT could be disastrous.

For instance, I say simply "Do It". And after years of hearing this same command day in and day out, my dog does his job without a second thought, and the difficult days of consistent Jack Russell Terrier housebreaking attention is a thing of the past.

But only use the command when he is in his area and you feel he is ready to eliminate, like after meals.

To put a puppy outside and hope for the best is really expecting too much even from this intelligent breed of dog. The more time an owner spends on Jack Russell Terrier housebreaking the sooner and more efficient the dog will understand.

In the first weeks he will not be able to make it through the night without needing to urinate. So be ready to go outside with him unless you opt to place newspapers down. This is the safest and easiest Jack Russell Terrier housebreaking tactic in that first month.

And you needn't be upset with him if, after he's been trying to get you up for the last 30 minutes, you find a puddle. At least he tried.

But be assured, when he's about three months old, and indeed, sometimes

sooner, your precious puppy will be house trained.

Remember the three P's...Patience-Persistence-Praise.

You wouldn't beat a baby that soiled its diaper, so by the same token be gentle with puppies who have not yet learned to control their bowels as well.

With the right amount of these three P's, your dog will surprise you how quickly he learns to be a perfect graduate of good Jack Russell Terrier Housebreaking.
