Also called the JRT, this breed is like their fellow terriers. They love to dig and can create large holes fast. Breaking their digging habits won't work well, so instead, be sure to train them to only dig in designated areas. A well-fenced yard is essential to consume their endless energy. Electronic fences aren't enough, as some JRT dogs can climb trees and chained fences. With that, supervision is recommended when they're outside.
If you are a timid or novice dog parent, it will be best if you look for another dog. These pups can be challenging even with experienced owners, as their stubbornness needs consistent and firm training. The JRT also tends to bark for fun and won't, therefore, work in apartment living. Lastly, they may be aggressive around fellow dogs, especially when not trained to be nice toward other canines from puppyhood.
