Click to Calm: Healing the Aggressive Dog

When Emma Parsons, professional trainer and canine behavior consultant, discovered that her own prized Golden Retriever, Ben, was aggressive toward other dogs, and that traditional remedies took his reactivity to nightmarish levels, she turned to clicker training. In the process, Parsons developed innovative and effective strategies to calm, alter, and re-shape Ben’s aggressive displays. Her clicker-based strategies have since helped many of her clients successfully reduce—and even erase—their dogs’ reactivity to both dogs and humans.

This is a wonderful book and easy to follow even if you never used a clicker before. I found it to work when dealing with aggreassive little terriers! The link will get you started with understanding the principles as well as get a start in controlling your aggressive dog. However, for complete information, I suggest you purchase the book or sign up for one of Emma's nationwide seminars.

Jack Russell Breeders Directory

All who seek adventure with this feisty little terrier should remember that the Jack Russell Terrier is first and foremost a hunting dog, and is not the dog for everyone. You are encouraged to learn as much as possible about the Jack Russell, and carefully evaluate whether it will suit your lifestyle (or rather, that you will suit the lifestyle of a Jack Russell!), before you make the commitment to purchase.
