Recently, a couple of friends brought me two Jack Russell terriers for a two week holiday. Their owner had to go into hospital and I was told these two characters had a few issues.

As it turned out, the only main issues were that neither one would answer to name, they attacked other dogs and pulled violently on the lead.

Within the time it took to drink a cup of coffee, the answering to name issue had been resolved, much to my friends’ amazement, and we were well on the way to solving the attacking problem.

By the end of their stay, it can proudly be said, that both dogs left relaxed and with entirely new attitudes. Not only making life easier on the owner, but also for the dogs themselves. Advice and exercises to follow were given, and as I last heard, all were living happier lives in the pack order.
