When do you think i should start training my Jack Russell mix?

Question

i have a 5 months old Jack Russell mix Schnauzer when can i starting training him some difficult commands?

Answer 1

Jacks can start learning obedience well before they are 4 months old.  Positive reinforcement like clicker training is a fun and good way to teach a Jack X .

Check out Karen pryors clicker training. link below

Answer 2

Start today.  They always love to learn more tricks or what ever you have in mind.  They also like the extra time you spend with them.  So start now.

Answer 3

As soon as possible:) Because the older they get the harder they are to train.

Answer 4

Oh god, 5 months old already. Start now! You should've started sooner!

Good luck on training. I have a 5 1/2 year old Jack/Rat mix and it took us almost a year to train her to go to the door when she wants to go out. She's a little B!+c# but I love her.

Answer 5

Start now. I started training my yorkie at a couple of months old and she now knows sit, stay, down, roll over, shake, and high five, and she only a year old. I would recommend sit and down first, then move onto shake or something because they're the easiest. Remember to use positive reinforcement and be patient. The sooner you start the better.

Answer 6

This is greast you should start right away... as long as he has down the basics which at 5 months he should have sit stay come and leave it.

BUT  some other commands are useful too  and I am so excited because I now have a  book avaiable oas resource that I have been recommending on here for a long time. .  If you look back at my answers or use search you will see how often I have given this book as a reference.
