Preparing to
bring a Jack Russell puppy into your home require more than just physically preparing
your living space. Find out what you need to do to make sure your home is ready
for a Jack Russell!
Protect Other Pets
If you have other pets in
your home, such as hamsters or caged birds, you need to be aware that Jack Russell
puppies are born hunters. Just because you bring the Jack Russell into your home
as a puppy does not mean that his natural hunting instinct will not apply to your
existing pets. Place your pets’ cages in a safe place in your home, out of reach
of your Jack Russell puppy. You may even want to consider putting your small pets
in a room that will be off limits to the puppy.
Lots And Lots Of Toys
Your
Jack Russell puppy is going to need plenty of things to chew on! If you do not
give your new pet safe chew toys, he will find some of his own, and you may not
like the choice! Make sure to stock up on safe chew toys and doggy ropes before
you bring your new dog home.
Puppy Proof Your Home
Jack Russell
puppies will get into anything and everything that is on their level, and keep
in mind that their level might include anything reachable from the couch or a
chair. They are notorious for their intense curiosity, so you need to puppy proof
your home. Remove anything that will be within reach of the puppy and place it
out of reach. Remember that your puppy will chew on anything they can find, and
you do not want him to get a hold of something dangerous. Also, remove any plants
that are poisonous to animals, because your dog will certainly get into the plants.
Prepare
Your Yard
Your Jack Russell pup is going to spend many fun hours outdoors
exploring your yard. Make sure your yard is a safe haven for him. You absolutely
must have a fence! Jack Russells are hunting dogs, inside and out, and they will
chase after small animals, even if their quarry leads them into the busy street.
Also, keep in mind that Jack Russells have been known to climb trees, so make
sure that there are no trees that will allow them to climb out of the yard. Also,
chain link fences might not hold a Jack Russell, because he will likely climb
right over! And remover your prize begonias! He will not want to leave them alone!
Give
Him His Own Special Place
Creating
a living space for your Jack Russell puppy is an important step in preparing
your home for your dog. All dogs have a natural instinct to seek out a den that
is all their own. By giving your dog a private space to claim as his own, you
will ensure that he is happy in your home.
