[QUOTE="alsih2o, post: 1438100, member: 4790"] 10 months is awfully late, but the "old dog/new tricks" adage is not nearly true. You mention "every trick in the book" and it makes me wonder if you have been consistent enough. Find A method and stick with it. You may be having some behavior problems because he is not getting all the exercise he needs. Quoting from a popular website about Jack Russels- "These little dogs require what may seem to be an [b]extraordinary[/b] amount of human attention, outdoor activity, exercise, discipline and an understanding and acceptance of their hunting nature." (emphasis mine) Some breeders and trainers reccomend at least 2 hours of active, outdoor play per day, spread over at least 2 sessions. Realize that this is a minimum, not a passable everyday solution. What is the dogs environment like when he is home alone? (if he ever is) It may seem silly, but i have seen small hunters like JR's take well to having a parakeet in the house (securely out a smart and determined dogs reach). This gives them somehting to look at and obsess over, the movement and noise does them a world of good. He is going to needs tons of stimulation- noise, movement, and interaction. And lots of discipline. Not the smacking him around variety (you don't seem the type) but the military school variety- a firmish schedule, strong, consistent rules, definite boundaries and his space. Is he kennel trained? I know kennel training can come with loads of guilt when you hear the whine, but many dogs, especially small dogs, take very well to kennel training and gain an added sense of security when allowed to have "their space." Good luck, keep at it, but remember, while you may be strongly attached to the dog, giving him to someone who can provide him with the stimulation, discipline and exercise he needs may make you both happier and healthier. :) [/QUOTE]
