toffy is soooo cute he sounds just like my jrt jack when you just look at him when hi is on the bed he thinks he rules the house he growls when i try to get on the bed with him snd when i try to move him off the seat in the car lolololollolololol!!!!!!!
I have 2 JRT and they LOVE bedtime. My one jack knows my nightly routine and she watches to see what i am doing, she follows me everywhere i go. Her sister just lays in her bed waiting.
my JRT does the exact same thing, my son made a commercial called "Stuffed Crust Terrier Ears" its supposed to be like stuffed crust pizza. When he says it to her, she growls just like that.
omg that is so cute!!!! i have a jack russell, and he's a growly lil turd too!! and whats super cute too is that the woman called the dog "velvet ears" i call my dog the same thing!!! love this video
jacks are very vocal. When I get home my jack greets me. if someone was listening they would think I was being attacked by a crazed animal. And that is after she bellies up to me for rubs. One should be careful of dogs growling, but for normal jacks I don't think is means the same thing that it means for other breeds. these dogs were built to scare the shit out of what they were "hunting" but not bite it; as that was considered unsportsmanlike like behavior. The word sexy make her growl too.
that is just pure terrier, my jack gets pissed off at me, its my fault when he bites me, but that is just part of the game we play. but at the end of the day we best buds for life!
Haha a well known FACT, Jack Russells growl at anything but do sweet f all if they've been brought up nicely. My Jack Russell used to do this all the time and it was so funny cause it was all for fun, it was me and her thing. I used to say come on to her and she used to growl like she was going to rip your throat out then suddenly she came over and licked the hell out of me haha. I used to say she was all talk. She died in Feb of 3 TYPES OF CANCER! What are the odds. 1 couldn't bring her down!
I love my when my dog makes his growl face at me, its the cutest thing ever lol. He doesn't growl though, he just raises his lips to show his teeth when I blow his stomach :P
I love my terriers, but I know of one that could use a bullet to the back of his head. He's an elderly satanic piece of crap. I would not reward this aggression or initiate any struggle with a terrier. Be the boss!
they do it because of their strong hunting background everything is a game of some sort mine growls at everything he loves to fight over his bones and stuff he bites hard and really wants to bite harder can tell its just somthing programmed into them. if you walk them and theres a house with a cat he will never forget it. we had a mouse in the house while back it ran under the fridge the dog sat there 3 days waiting shivering like a nut job
This is people using funny people stuff and teaching dog bad habits. I understand that people that love their dogs teach bad habits and don't recognize when they are doing it and this seems to be a video that shows one way in which it's done. I'd say the worst part is laughing and petting the dog while it is getting overly excited about the word "bed". I can understand playing a game like that but I'd have to put the dog down and let him know that I was going to be playing before enticing.
made me laugh but I wouldn't do it again much, I mean if you're doing it for a laugh whenever guests come round then it's going to fuck up his simple brain. He's your friend, repay his loyalty.
I guess Jack Russells growls always cause I have one, I always teas it to growl like that makes me laugh, but ever since he never bit at anyone, but he push people that he don't like, hes really funny.. My nephew always cries because he is always pushed by my dog, I but he don't bite. Thats why I like Jack Russells.. :D
After a lifetime of owning spaniels, I picked a Parson Russell this time round - the ANGRIEST puppy I have ever owned! The growling is only the start of their eccentricity!
They Piss whilst doing a handstand, reverse into bushes when the going gets tough, and will bite your kids (or you) if liberties get taken. Don't EVER show it a small, furry mammal it'll get bit - Still, wouldn't swap my PRT for a large bag of gold!
in my most honest opinion, you must not be easy on your dog whenever he growls. you must be the pack leader and be assertive, but calm when it does it. go AH, AH ,AH. in a high corrective tone. you got to match its intensity or get even higher but in the animal world, the stronger survives. thus you got to show you are stronger by no means harming, and the pack leader.
So many fucktarded yankee fag comments! if you are american and your going to make a big speech because you think this is cruel then put a fucking gun to your head and blow your fucking brains out all over your house you fucking yankee thick cunt!
jimmyingCT !! Abolutely true!!! Mine , I tell him to go down and he starts growling and running in circles !!! i say " what's this??" and he shows his teeth !! I say "wanna fight??? " he barks like crazy !! JRT are the best dogs ever !! They are sooooo smart !!! Mine impress me each day even more !!! He s fucking crazy and I love it !!
You figure people searching for JRT moves might at least know a little about the breed although I guess anything posted on the internet is an invite.
Jack Russells are very strong willed pets. They growl often, its means nothing more than that they disagree. Mine will growl daily for the most absurd reasons such as if I dont let let it lick my feet.. These strong opinions are a small part of what makes these little guys so amusing.
they say max 16 ??? hahaha mine is a bully !!! Pure one and he s 22 lbs and still needs to take some weight!!! And mine did turn against me.. bit me in the face ....meh!!! But he was jalous because it was the first time I had someone come over after I broke up ....hahaha I think he didn't liked the guy !! hahaha
Poor dog. These people are reinforcing his negative behavior by telling him he's a good boy and petting him when he responds negatively. This is not funny and is the reason why dogs with high energy levels like JRT's develop negative outlets for thier energy.
Haha my dog does this too. I can't tell if they're serious or not. With my JRT, we threaten to cut his nails :) . He gets angry right away. "We're going to cut your nails right?" GRRRRR!!!!
Of course afterwards we say we're joking, but when it gets to that day, he gets really scared. :P
Toffee is so cute!!! This makes me laugh so hard and we watch it a lot. We have a JRT with the same sassy attitude, he growls like this if you just give him a certian look. They are just sassy. No harm done!!!!! Love Toffee, he is so cute!!
congobeat do you own a JRT? They are 20 pounds of comedy gold. My older one does the same thing whenever we try to take away his bone. Yet, his tail is wagging the entire time, it's just a game to them. ;)
shut up. These people clearly love their dog, my jack russell does this when i just make kisses at him. The dog looks in good health, the people who should get done by the rspca are the one that really abuse dogs, or use them for fighting.
aww nice dog he reminds me of my ol parsons (he got ran over last year *cries* ) anyway thats not nice on the dog and he is getting attention from bieng agressive
I had a JR years ago and he hated the word "bath" he would run away and hide, he also howled to ONE particular tune and no other if I played it on the organ, It would also fetched socks out of my bedroom drawer when told.
The guy is TORMENTING that poor dog. I don't see the humor in it. Sorry. I identify with the dog, and it reminds me of sadistic teasing by my older brother when I was a kid. MEAN! MEAN! MEAN!
Because you twat the dog is getting affection for showing aggression. Do you have a diploma in dog psychology? No you don't. So don't chat crap to me that you know nothing about.
Are you ignorant of the reply button? Or are you trying to avoid an answer? I'll answer you anyway. I have a masters in Human Psychology and have been a researcher for over 20 years. I specialise in NVC.
As dog communication is 90 Non-verbal and I have had dogs in my life for about a million years I do consider myself qualified to comment. Are YOU in any way qualified to pass judgement on this issue? Please reply through the "reply" facility. That's what it's for you know.
These dogs are so smart -- he probably knows that he's being an entertainer by growling like that. My JRT doesn't do the same trick, but he knows when he's getting laughs, because he'll keep going with whatever crazy activity he's doing!!
Yeah it is! They're not robots mate, they each express themselves differently. Check out the rest of his body language. I've got two (from the same litter) and they are polar opposites in every way.
you shouldnt encourage negative behaviour in such dogs. thats your dog believing he's alpha over you! saying "good boy" when he's growling like that will encourage this. and it isnt a "cute" or a laughing matter when he growls like that. especially when he's being picked up as well!!! the narrator of this vid is at the bottom of the chain of commmand in that household!
That's hardly abuse. The dog is just letting them know he really doesn't want to go to bed yet. My son''s Jack Russell, Maggie, will growl at you like that if you move her around the bed when she wants to stay in that spot. It's just a colorful expression of her wishes. She also growls like that when tugging on a toy, and it is just play, not realy viciousness. He's cute! thanks for sharing.
It's funny till he bites your face off! LOL. My Jack has weird reasons for growling. He las down and rolls over because he wants you to scratch his belly and if you scratch him to fast or on his sides he goes ape shit. I'm takin growling, biting, flashing teeth. Psycho.
Cute dog.I have 2 Jrt mixes & the oldest does this for bath & if you make a kissing sound if give him kisses.Mine does more of a grumble talking type groan.
To some of the people commenting there is a big difference between when mine growls for real & does this.Its the way he communicates dislikes he is a talker & non agressive.
He does the same for the puppy when correcting her & if he means business its different and she knows it.
People chill out. She's not hurting the dog. Jack Russell Terrors (lol) are usually bad tempered. I have one, and just walking around the house she will nip at me body slam me.
AH! Its so fun ghouling dogs, then give them a big glomp after. Your dog is very sweet. My new JRT thinks that my face is a chew toy, its just that her teeth are growing in. I gave her about 4 toys to chew on but she still likes my ears and fingers.
I have 2 jacks a 5 month old a 3 year old. My three year old Molly does the exzact same thing when you say Robber. She has a stuffed robber and beats it up all the time and when ever you mention Robber or ask, "Molly where is the robber?" she growls. Its not neurotic its a VERY intelligent dog voicing likes and dislikes. SHes barks and jumps whenever you hold a ball, same thing just different reactions.
To all you wacko nuerosis ridden "expert" commentors who think that this is some cruel or weird exercise...
Toffee is a gentle and sweet dog. He is ecstatic about going for walks, he flips out when given a new toy and he does not like going to bed, he is simply vocalizing his likes and dislikes - that is all. He is cared for very much and loves his life and his family. We are big dog lovers and have had many dogs - Toffee is one of the most human we have ever had the pleasure of being around.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
we have 2 J.Rs and if they ever dare to do just that I personally will kick them across the house. This is bad behavior don't know what is fun about this, if a staffordshire or a pittbull would to this it would be killed for it. But a "cute" and small dog like a J.R is called funny. its sick Im telling you.. sick. Never EVER let a dog do this, if you think this is normal and funny.. dont take a dog!
"You would kick them across the house", and how would you describe that behavior? They are doing nothing wrong in this video. it is funny, why? Because the dog obviously doesn't like to go to bed, thus making it funny.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
A dog never ever must react like that to a human a other dog of a other animal. This dog is not funny or reacting in a normal way. It has missed some really important lessons about social behavior (and I find that Animal abuse). Not seeing that is sick if you ask me. I have two J.R.T and from they learned how to be a dog by well! being a dog. They will never react like that not even when I put them under the shower and believe me they REALLY hate it.
I don't think it's fair to assume it's animal abuse because he acts different to what you're used to. Every dog is different and most owners have a good feel for their own dogs. I love "teasing" my JRT, producing the same reaction. But I know he's not upset because he wags his tail and shows other signs that he's happy (while growling). I wouldn't be surprised if Toffee was wagging his tail as well. JRTs seem to thrive on that sort of game. I know mine does!
All I have to say is any of these idiots saying you're JRT's going to be aggressive, nuts, etc... You're idiots. Mine does the same thing and he's the nicest dog in the world--In the world. And he's got a more fierce growl than yours. I love him to death & look out squirrels
harassment of these dogs causes their aggression to get out of control...eventually with their hyper drive mentalities, if not duly exercised and kept within strict boundaries, they are prone to neurosis and succumb to overtly aggressive behavior regardless of who provokes them or how old. You want to be able to trust your pet in all circumstances. This activity does not instill trust in this poor dog, but makes you wonder how long till it snaps. GOOD LUCK WHEN IT DOES
Dude, I don't know how much you actually know about your dogs but this is not necessarily aggressive behavior. The dog considers it a form of playing, and as long as he doesn't bite there's nothing wrong with such behavior.
'less intelligent dogs'? Jack Russells? You must be having a laugh. Just because a dog won't bow down to silly pointless commands like a collie, doesn't make them stupid. Besides, there are many examples of clever jacks which you can see here on youtube such as the counting dog, the agility course dog and the frisbee dog.
1) More protective of property and pack members (a pack instinct inherited from wolves, which are the most intelligent canines found in nature) than property; border collies are closely related to wolves (similar build+behavior), which is one obvious indicator for their high intelligence relative to other dogs. When Border Collies obey commands, they are doing so out of loyalty/submission to the "Alpha Male"; Jack Russells do it for treats and toys.
2) Boredom: Jack Russells are more easily entertained than Border Collies. I've worked with a friend's Jack Russell from puppyhood as well as two Border Collies of my own, and I can tell you that while the Jack Russell liked to run away more (which I count against his intellect), the border collies were much more ornery and frequently found new, innovative ways to cause trouble if they weren't being played with...
When our current border collie wants to play ball, but--for example--I am doing the dishes, she will pick up a tennis ball and stick it in between my legs.
MY JAck Russell throws her own balls too, can say "Out" when she wants outside and can say "home" when she wants to go home....We never taught her to do any of that either she just mimicked the words we say a
I can't believe people accept this behaviour from their dog... And actually encourage it by stroking the dog when he's growling and showing its teeth

The guy is TORMENTING that poor dog. I don't see the humor in it. Sorry. I identify with the dog, and it reminds me of sadistic teasing by my older brother when I was a kid. MEAN! MEAN! MEAN!

Because you twat the dog is getting affection for showing aggression. Do you have a diploma in dog psychology? No you don't. So don't chat crap to me that you know nothing about.

Are you ignorant of the reply button? Or are you trying to avoid an answer? I'll answer you anyway. I have a masters in Human Psychology and have been a researcher for over 20 years. I specialise in NVC.
As dog communication is 90 Non-verbal and I have had dogs in my life for about a million years I do consider myself qualified to comment. Are YOU in any way qualified to pass judgement on this issue? Please reply through the "reply" facility. That's what it's for you know.

How irresponsible can you get. People like you should'nt own a dog.
When it turns round and bites someone you won't be laughing then.
And just remember it will all be YOUR fault.

Are you mentally ill or mentally handicapped? How is this teaching or encouraging a dog to attack people??

Russells can be VERY fierce and can attack.

These dogs are so smart -- he probably knows that he's being an entertainer by growling like that. My JRT doesn't do the same trick, but he knows when he's getting laughs, because he'll keep going with whatever crazy activity he's doing!!
Love him!

you shouldnt encourage negative behaviour in such dogs. thats your dog believing he's alpha over you! saying "good boy" when he's growling like that will encourage this. and it isnt a "cute" or a laughing matter when he growls like that. especially when he's being picked up as well!!! the narrator of this vid is at the bottom of the chain of commmand in that household!

That's hardly abuse. The dog is just letting them know he really doesn't want to go to bed yet. My son''s Jack Russell, Maggie, will growl at you like that if you move her around the bed when she wants to stay in that spot. It's just a colorful expression of her wishes. She also growls like that when tugging on a toy, and it is just play, not realy viciousness. He's cute! thanks for sharing.

Cute dog.I have 2 Jrt mixes & the oldest does this for bath & if you make a kissing sound if give him kisses.Mine does more of a grumble talking type groan.
To some of the people commenting there is a big difference between when mine growls for real & does this.Its the way he communicates dislikes he is a talker & non agressive.
He does the same for the puppy when correcting her & if he means business its different and she knows it.

AH! Its so fun ghouling dogs, then give them a big glomp after. Your dog is very sweet. My new JRT thinks that my face is a chew toy, its just that her teeth are growing in. I gave her about 4 toys to chew on but she still likes my ears and fingers.

I have 2 jacks a 5 month old a 3 year old. My three year old Molly does the exzact same thing when you say Robber. She has a stuffed robber and beats it up all the time and when ever you mention Robber or ask, "Molly where is the robber?" she growls. Its not neurotic its a VERY intelligent dog voicing likes and dislikes. SHes barks and jumps whenever you hold a ball, same thing just different reactions.

To all you wacko nuerosis ridden "expert" commentors who think that this is some cruel or weird exercise...
Toffee is a gentle and sweet dog. He is ecstatic about going for walks, he flips out when given a new toy and he does not like going to bed, he is simply vocalizing his likes and dislikes - that is all. He is cared for very much and loves his life and his family. We are big dog lovers and have had many dogs - Toffee is one of the most human we have ever had the pleasure of being around.

we have 2 J.Rs and if they ever dare to do just that I personally will kick them across the house. This is bad behavior don't know what is fun about this, if a staffordshire or a pittbull would to this it would be killed for it. But a "cute" and small dog like a J.R is called funny. its sick Im telling you.. sick. Never EVER let a dog do this, if you think this is normal and funny.. dont take a dog!

danbo1138 3 years ago
"You would kick them across the house", and how would you describe that behavior? They are doing nothing wrong in this video. it is funny, why? Because the dog obviously doesn't like to go to bed, thus making it funny.

A dog never ever must react like that to a human a other dog of a other animal. This dog is not funny or reacting in a normal way. It has missed some really important lessons about social behavior (and I find that Animal abuse). Not seeing that is sick if you ask me. I have two J.R.T and from they learned how to be a dog by well! being a dog. They will never react like that not even when I put them under the shower and believe me they REALLY hate it.
Blarleduc 3 years ago
I don't think it's fair to assume it's animal abuse because he acts different to what you're used to. Every dog is different and most owners have a good feel for their own dogs. I love "teasing" my JRT, producing the same reaction. But I know he's not upset because he wags his tail and shows other signs that he's happy (while growling). I wouldn't be surprised if Toffee was wagging his tail as well. JRTs seem to thrive on that sort of game. I know mine does!
Adorable JRT! Thanks for sharing!

kenpetros 3 years ago 3
harassment of these dogs causes their aggression to get out of control...eventually with their hyper drive mentalities, if not duly exercised and kept within strict boundaries, they are prone to neurosis and succumb to overtly aggressive behavior regardless of who provokes them or how old. You want to be able to trust your pet in all circumstances. This activity does not instill trust in this poor dog, but makes you wonder how long till it snaps. GOOD LUCK WHEN IT DOES

MillieMilou 3 years ago
Dude, I don't know how much you actually know about your dogs but this is not necessarily aggressive behavior. The dog considers it a form of playing, and as long as he doesn't bite there's nothing wrong with such behavior.
Teqsinterrier 3 years ago 3
'less intelligent dogs'? Jack Russells? You must be having a laugh. Just because a dog won't bow down to silly pointless commands like a collie, doesn't make them stupid. Besides, there are many examples of clever jacks which you can see here on youtube such as the counting dog, the agility course dog and the frisbee dog.
thewerepuppygrr 3 years ago 3
Two big indicators of intelligence in dogs:
1) More protective of property and pack members (a pack instinct inherited from wolves, which are the most intelligent canines found in nature) than property; border collies are closely related to wolves (similar build+behavior), which is one obvious indicator for their high intelligence relative to other dogs. When Border Collies obey commands, they are doing so out of loyalty/submission to the "Alpha Male"; Jack Russells do it for treats and toys.
Teqsinterrier 3 years ago
2) Boredom: Jack Russells are more easily entertained than Border Collies. I've worked with a friend's Jack Russell from puppyhood as well as two Border Collies of my own, and I can tell you that while the Jack Russell liked to run away more (which I count against his intellect), the border collies were much more ornery and frequently found new, innovative ways to cause trouble if they weren't being played with...
Teqsinterrier 3 years ago
When our current border collie wants to play ball, but--for example--I am doing the dishes, she will pick up a tennis ball and stick it in between my legs.
She also throws her own frickin' bone.
