Often badly, if they are not trained and exercised a lot, or if mismatched with their owners. Jack Russell Terriers represent a combination of high energy, curiosity and tenacity. They are always on the go, and always in search of something to do. Sometimes, in their quest, they can get into trouble.
Why are Jack Russells so tenacious?
When a Jack Russell sees something he wants, he goes for it and not much can stop him. Whether it’s a toy, the neighbor’s cat, a sock you dropped on the floor or your pet canary, if your Jack Russell wants it, he is going to find a way to get it.
They were bred to be this way! Only a tenacious dog makes a good hunter of small game. Animals such as foxes, mice, rats and gophers will do whatever they have to do in order to escape a chasing, digging terrier.
If the dog is going to be successful as a hunter, he has to be the kind of dog who doesn’t give up easily.
Why is exercise so important for a well-behaved Jack Russell Terrier?
Because Jack Russells were bred to hunt all day, every day, they have incredible energy and need an outlet for it. If you don’t give them one, they will find another way to expend that energy. Chances are, it won’t be something you appreciate.
Your Jack Russell needs rigorous exercise for several hours a day. This means jogging, playing ball and hiking. Participating in sports like agility, flyball and earthdog trials are also great ways not only to exercise your Jack Russell, but also to provide mental stimulation. The combination will result in a more well-behaved Jack Russell Terrier.
