What is the best way to train a lazy 6 year old Jack Russell ?

I have a very fat lazy uninterested jack russell female. the only time she moves is when i take her for a walk and she was bred to kill my uncle used to breed hunting jacks well when i got her I was very little and only played with her and my parents had jobs so they did not train her now I am older and can train her i trained my other dog perfectly she does everything i ask and I tried the same strategies on shelby and even other ways to and they just don't seem to work she is very bull headed. And very dog aggressive

    What do you want to train her to do? You can help her get more active by getting her in better condition. Walking or jogging daily will help develop her muscles and give her more energy. Dogs are like people, when they stop exercising, they get lazy.

    Sounds like you have a couch potato. Seriously. I'd consult your vet before changing feedign pattens but sounds to me like you need to cut down on the food and increase the physical activity....ALOT. Perhaps increase the walk by double. As the weight comes off and the muscle structure gets stronger I think she'll return to her Jack Russell ways.

    I've never seen a lazy JR. In fact, most of them are borderline psychotic over-achievers that are never satisfied. They will swim the Pacific ocean if there is a snausage snack on the other side. Are you sure you don't have a Basset hound?
