Hello.
I was just reading all messages. I realized not many people put messages on here. I just got a Jack Russell Wenseday. He is a sweet heart. is well mannered, quiet, doesn't pee or poop in the house. But we are having one small minor problem. We can't get him to eat Dog Food. We will not let him eat junk food. I use to be a Petsmart Dog Trainer, and learned that sometimes dogs will be stubburn and not eat for days. But once they get hungry enough they will eat. So the last two days have been trying. He went after our three parakeets once and in a result of trying to stop him he went after me. I did not scream but used a stern voice told him 'nien' (Our word for No). This morning My fiance went to take out the garbage and he attacked him while trying to get the food. Of course my fiance stopped him. He tries to get at wrappers and candy that someone might of left out on the street as well. It's hard to seem him like this. Last night we had a small break through he ate a little dog food. He will eat a little out of our hands, but I don't want to turn that into a habit. He is skinny and needs to eat.
We also have three cats and I use to take my smallest kitty to my training classes. She wasn't quite as nervous when around Colbi, our new Jack Russell. Yesturday we had a kitty break through and Lima (Our smallest kitty) let Colbi sniff her several times before she got fed up and growled. I think he only wants to play with them, I'm hopeing.
Any new advice would be great. But here is a picture of our cutie pie.
