I've never heard of such a thing... Thought I had heard everything but I guess not.

That's called harassment, and it's generally frowned upon.
When did you get the impression I didn't address it?

And...saying that he is aggressive and dominant means I don't address it?
Oh, ok.
BTW, Mr. Observant, the terrier is a She.

And...saying that he is aggressive and dominant means I don't address it?
Oh, ok.
If you had addressed it he would not longer be aggressive.
I'm still waiting for someone to tell me exactly how it's abuse to reduce a dog's bark...
But not abuse to cut his nuts or her fallopian tubes.
Canine devocalization should only be performed by qualified, licensed veterinarians as a final alternative after behavioral modification efforts to correct excessive vocalization have failed.

Nope, wrong again.

PRTs are well known for aggression, it's a breed trait.
- [FONT='Comic Sans MS', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Parson Russell Terriers are often aggressive with other dogs if they are not neutered or spayed. This small terrier is well known for same-sex aggression and aggression towards other breeds of dogs. One should be wary about permiting more than two PRTs to stay together unattended. I can recount numerous stories of disastrous results of such folly. For example, one woman left four intact female PRTs at home in the house while she went shopping. When she returned home, she had three dead PRTs and one live one the six-month-old puppy of one of the dead bitches."[/FONT]
It doesn't go away. You can control it, but you aren't going to *fix* it.

You were evasive when I inquired about alternative methods and started attacking me. Your defiance shows you have something to hide.Canine devocalization should only be performed by qualified, licensed veterinarians as a final alternative after behavioral modification efforts to correct excessive vocalization have failed.

Somebody has a jack russell terrorist!?
Ho hum, I was right, you're a nutcase. I wasn't evasive about anything, loon.
The Parson Russell Terrier is a cheerful, merry, devoted, and loving dog. Spirited and obedient, yet absolutely fearless. Careful and amusing, he enjoys games and playing with toys. Stable Parson's are friendly and generally kind to children. Children should be taught not to tease or hit the dog. They are intelligent, and if you let them take an inch, they can become willful and determined to take a mile. It is paramount that you are this dogs pack leader. He needs to be given rules to follow, and limitations as to what he is and is not allowed to do. Do not let this little dog fall into Small Dog Syndrome, where he believes he is pack leader to all humans. This is where varying degrees of behavior problems will arise, including, but not limited to guarding, snapping, separation anxiety, and obsessive barking. They are highly trainable, able to perform impressive tricks. They have been used on TV and in the movies. However, if you do not show authority towards the dog , they can be difficult to train. They need a firm, experienced trainer. Parsons who have been allowed to take over can be aggressive with other dogs. Some have killed or been killed in dog fights. Be sure to socialize the Parson. They have strong hunting instincts (stronger than your average terrier) and should not be trusted with other small animals. They like to chase and explore. Be careful not to let them off the lead unless they are very well-trained. Parson Russells like to bark and dig. They tend to get restless and destructive if not kept fruitfully occupied and well exercised. Parson Russells climb, which means they can climb over a fence, they also jump. A Parson that stands 12 inches high can easily jump five feet. JRTs are not the breed for a inexperienced dog owner. The owner needs to be as strong-willed as they are, or this little guy will take over. With the right owner the Parson can really excel, but is not recommended for those who do not understand what it means to be a dogs true pack leader. Parsons who are mentally stable, with all of their canine instincts met, will not display these negative behaviors. They are not traits of the Parson Russell, but rather human brought on behaviors, which are a result of inefficient leadership, along with a lack of mental and physical stimulation. They will thrive with a job to do. The Parson Russell Terrier must present a lively, active and alert appearance. It should impress with its fearless and happy disposition. It should be remembered that the Parson Russell is a working terrier and should retain these instincts. Nervousness, cowardice or over-aggressiveness should be discouraged and it should always appear confident.
