Jack Russell Terriers are energetic dogs that enjoy digging and playing. They need a securely fenced yard to burn off their energy. Underground electronic fencing will not hold them, and they have been known to climb trees and chain link fencing to escape.
First-time or timid dog owners should choose another breed. Jack Russell Terriers can be a challenge even for experienced dog owners. They are strong-willed and require firm and consistent training.
Jacks can be recreational barkers, so they are not suited to apartment life. They can also be aggressive toward other dogs if they are not taught to get along with them from an early age.
Jack Russell Terriers thrive when they are with their families and should not live outdoors or in a kennel. When you leave the house, try turning on a radio to help prevent separation anxiety.
Jacks are bouncy and will jump up on people and things. They are capable of jumping higher than 5 feet.
