Hey ppl, I got a new dog this past weekend, or well my mom got a new dog from my grandparents. It is a JackaPoo. My main concern is the hyperactivity of this dog. I understand that all puppies are hyper, we have a 5 year old dog that we've had since he was about 6weeks old. I'm not much of a hyper person, neither are the rest of my family to an extent but we aren't a super active family. Anyways, Do you have any ways to fixing the hyper problem? Other problems that we didn't have with our older dog: --She bites and chews and attacks everything (yes attacks), attacks shoes, feet, our older dog, our cats, furniture, her own bed... --She takes her food from her bowl and walks into the other room to eat it... --Also she climbs up things; furniture, blockades (those wire ones to stop your dog from jumping over), her playpen.
That's all i can think of (i mean besides the house breaking part) at this moment.
I apologize if none of that makes since, i am distracted atm soooo deal? lol.
whenever it does something it's not supposed to make a big deal of it, not yelling but talking firmly to it repeatedly saying "no" or "dab dog" etc.. and use a lot of body language that insinuates it did something wrong. once it develops a strong bond with family members, it will learn what things make you mad at the dog and what does not. this takes a VERY long time to take hold over the dog, and especially since the dog is hyper by nature, certain aspects will never just "leave" the dog
Quick solution: Sell her to the nearest Vietnamese Market.
Haha i wish i could! It's my grandparents Toy Poodle's offspring, who i absolutely hate.
As for the "no" thing, our 2 year old cat who we got at about 2 weeks old from Puerto Rico does not listen to our "no's" and we've smacked her, yelled at her, "firmly said no", and then, as an example, taken her off the counter, and she still does it non-stop. I know cats are a different story, but you would think that she would have learned after 2 years!!
CORNFIELD. thats what i did, works like a charm. i cant do yappy dogs, but i found one thing that really calms them down, put them in a box, and blow a whole bunch of weedsmoke into it with a hose, do it everytime she gets nuts and you'll kill enough braincells to where she cant even walk!!
thats horrible! I can't intentionally hurt any animals(well unless i'm hunting deer ;P) but I've gotten my cat's high and they go crazy as hell and are annoying, I don't want the dog to be even more annoying! Well i suppose if it did it enough she'd be chill haha.
I think i figured out a way to calm it down though, keep playing with it until it runs out of energy! (tough work though!)
The quickest solution: Just break it's neck while it's sleeping.
Though seriously, it won't be very hard to put the fear of God into the little thing. It will learn what's right and wrong VERY quickly.
Remember though, they can be feisty. Don't take no for an answer.
Or just take its a** to the pound. Which is what I would do with such an insanely annoying dog. I'd go there and trade it out with something slightly more rewarding. A pit bull, rottweiler, or something equally terrifying yet loving. Good guard dogs too.
German shepherd isn't AS terrifying, but is an awesome dog. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a security system that loves you back.
On a serious note, you really just need to give it a lot of attention, train it, and keep in mind that it is a mix with Jack Russell terrier, they are very hyper and playful dogs.
Jack Russell terrier, they are very hyper and playful dogs.
So i've heard, i've never owned a Jack Russell Terrier or met anyone with one, so i wasn't sure what to expect from this dog. our other dog is a pure bred Westie (West Highland White Terrier) and i know how playful he is, but he has never been hyper (well he does have his moments while playing with the cat), he is the best dog I've ever seen, but because he's never been hyper i guess i, personally, was not sure how to react to a dog that is literally climbing up the walls!
newfoundland or bernard, used to have pits, but my neighbors had a problem...... anyway, yes, lots of attention, and hitting them never works out, for some reason, my cat responds very well to a squirt bottle.
