Nervous dog, calming spray help?
I've recently got a Jack Russell to keep my other Jack Russell company, which they get on brilliantly. The only problem with the new one, is that she pees whenever my mother and I leave her in the house with my sister/brother. She's never alone, but we think she's nervous about being left with them as she's with us most of the time.
Could anyone recommend anything that might help her? Like those pheromone sprays perhaps? I'd like to know if it would help her, because we can't be in the house 24/7 although hoping she'll grow out of it.
Thanks anyway :)

Crate her when you can't supervise her. It could be a potty training problem. Always reward her for pottying outside just to reinforce that she is supposed to go outside.
Jack Russells are small dogs and it is possible that she can't hold it the entire time you are gone.
Lastly, get her checked by a vet just to make sure she doesn't have a urinary tract infection (these can cause potty accidents).
Crate training can also help dogs feel safer when we leave. It could help to exercise/play with her to tire her out before you leave- they she would be more likely to just fall asleep and not be stressed or fret when you are away.
I have never heard of anyone using the calming sprays and having them work.
