Afternoon Guys,
I have a 2 year old Jack Russell Terrier who we have had from a pup.
We took her to puppy training locally and were shown some methods to stop the aggressive nature of biting and nipping as we have 2 small children.
She did the usual digging and chewing, to which I gave her toys and bones to try and get her to chew those instead, to no avail. We now have the view that if there is anything left on the ground for longer than an hour, it will be destroyed. We walk her regularly to try and stimulate her as well. That's not my problem though.
She follows me non stop 24/7. Literally under my feet, I bend over to pick something up and she nips at my hands, if I sit in a chair watching the kids, she will sit and stare at me, not breaking eye contact for literally hours.
I'm gathering it's a waiting for a command of the master type of thing. She won't play with the kids though. if they throw the ball she will bring it back to me and not give it to the kids, she won't take treats from the kids, only me. If I am inside, she will sit at the door and watch me and ignore the kids who want to play with her, all day.
She is also extremely vocal. If I pick her up around the belly, she screams so loud and pees herself.
I am at wits end, I can't handle it anymore. We wanted a dog that the kids could play with. Please help!!
Dan
