VERY GOOD QUESTION??? Sorry, I don't have the Answer. I hope someone will answer you because I too, would be interested in their response. I have a mixed breed little guy (Bob), which some people seem to think is part JRT (see attached photo). He's a pup, but he is becoming very possesive and territorial too. He's been aggressively nipping when he gets all riled up. And like you, he won't let others pick him up when he's on a rant. He's also taken to guarding the water bowl (growls ferociously when Ginger (our other dog) approaches it to get a drink). Same thing with the toy basket. And when he's in his crate, he gets really mad and growls if someone is petting Ginger and he can't get over to take some of that attention and affection for himself. I am concerned that as he matures, he is going to get even more aggressive and his bites will hurt more with his adult teeth.
Just a thought, I haven't had Bob neutered yet and some folks suggest that he will have a change in demeanor after this (Ouchhh... who wouldn't). Is your JRT fixed???
