can I teach a jack russell/boton terrier dog to get along with my cats>?
I have 2 cats who have the run of the house and in the past 3 days I adopted a 3yr. old jack russell/boston terrier and want the dog and cats to get along. Now when he sees them he chases them. He has never been around cats but the cats have been around a dog. Desparate for help!
It will take time and you may never be able to trust this dog unsupervised since you’ve chosen to live with a terrier breed (even though mixed) that tends to have a high prey drive.
You want him to associate the cats’ presence with good things, but you also want him to know that certain behaviors will not be tolerated by you, his pack leader.
Have the dog dragging a lead or long line at all times that you are able to closely supervise him. Then, when he even starts to look at the cats, issue a correction. Then call him to you (assist him in coming if necessary) have him sit, helping him if he doesn’t know the command yet, and praise him for obeying.
In addition, put the dog on lead and tether him to you so you have your hands free. Have the dog and cats in the same room. Keep asking for the dog’s attention and having him obey different commands, helping him to obey if necessary. Each time he successfully obeys a command, praise him and give him a small treat. Repeat several times a day, keeping each session short.

Terrier Dogs – Their Characteristics At Different Phases
Terrier Dogs happen to have a Wide Variety of dispositions and temperaments that would interest anyone. They range from the funny to the aggressive.The variety of characteristics that these dogs show make them fit with any any time of owner. Though a warning should be issued as some can get very mischievous while others may tend to be very timid. Terriers were initially bred as hunting dogs meant to help in the catching of foxes, otters, rats, vermin and so on. breeds today have become domesticated though and are being added as companions or toy breeds.
Just like other breeds of dogs, the terriers have a wide variety of characteristics that make each one different from the other. Many owners have found these dogs to be faithful to the families that they live with and go to an extreme t protect the home that he lives in. They are distinguished for their guarding techniques and can easily differentiate between those who intend to cause harm and those who do not. their protective instinct is supposed to have come from the fact that earlier breeds were used in dog fights. After the sport was banned, breeders shifted to producing these dogs for the domestic market where many cross breeds produced keen, protective terriers.
Some notable breeds that came through this process include the Airedale Terrier, American Stafforshire Terrier and the Bedlington Terrier.
These dogs have a great talent and respond well to any form of training. In fact, Some Breeds are said to be endowed with a lot of natural intelligence which makes them ideal for training in obedience and for ring shows. Dogs of this kind require a lot of challenging activities that would train them physically and mentally. They must be involved in some sort of activity always or they will cause destruction if they get bored. As these dogs have greater intelligence, they will ultimately not cause that much of a wreck as larger breeds. Some types of these dogs also have great determination and a lot of disposition as well which gives them a sense of confidence. Some of these terrier dogs are fun loving and tend to be playful. They have a lively and gay nature makes them great entertainment for the family and have been loved for centuries for this very fun and frolic nature of theirs.
Terrier dogs that are social, need enough social exposure to get ready during maturity. Most of these kind of dogs tend to dominate the others when they reach that age of authority. The bull terrier types are the best example for this type. Surprisingly, some of the toughest terriers are actually the smallest. For example, the Cairn Dogs are relatively small and have a stocky build, yet they portray a nature of ever being ready to do things when it is necessary.
Most of the terrier breeds still maintain the traditional characteristics. They make great hunters but even then have a keen preference to human companionship. Many of these dogs have the speed, power and endurance that their predecessors possessed. It is not surprising that these dogs have the various characteristics that owners would love, as these dogs have been around for a very long time.
