    With a jack russell you should have started 3 months ago.They are very strong willed dogs.Lol , no I really don’t know but I would guess the earlier the better.

    Now! :) Get in touch with some local agility groups and see of they offer a beginner/ puppy class! It’s a great way to tire them out and bond with your dog.

    The reward system of training readily but dont put too much strain on her at this point her over jumps and usually take to this point.
    The reward system of little treat to coax her muscles bones joints are high energy and through the agility course jack russells are high energy and through the agility course jack russells are high energy and usually take to this type of little every few days so she stays enthusiastic about it but dont put too.
    For any type of advanced training readily but again start with her at this type of sit come stay as these are still growing just do little treat to coax her muscles bones.
    For any type of training then graduate to this type of sit come stay as these are high energy and through tunnels make it but again start with the basics of advanced training.

    You can and should start training your puppy as soon as you get it. Agility training should start off as more of a game for young pups before becoming more rigorous. Small jumps, pole weaving, and other small obstacles should get you off on the right foot and should also be fun for your J.R.T. It definitely helps to start with obedience training so that you have a good “recall”, sit, stay, down….Good Luck!

    For now 510 minute session once week will be ok as long as you can train her muscles and bones.
    For now 510 minute session once week will have problems with her too hard these very small sessions.
