Rusty has permantaly lost his freedom....

he's neutered, but old habits die hard. he wasnt neutered till we got him, and he was already 4 years old by then.

also wile he is a JRT mix, its only in his appearence, in every other way he is all JRT. and JRTs fight, and they dont give up. Rusty is a stubborn dog, a loud noise means nothing to him. I love him to death, but he is the hardest dog I have ever tried to train, he doesnt respond to anything, either positive or negative, if he doesnt feel like responding to it at the time. that combined with be crazy smart(when he wants a walk for example, he will go to the leashes, pull HIS leash down and throw it at me). he is sooo people friendly though, usually with a terrier of you invene in a fght, you can expect a hole in your hand lol, but Rusty, even in full attack mode, will NOT touch a human.

So sorry you've had to go through this with Rusty, but for the safety of the others, you gotta do what ya gotta do. I hope everything turns out for the better. I know it must be hard

Sorry you are having problems with him. Hopefully the muzzle will work & that the other poor boys are ok

Nice generalisation, not all Jacks are aggressive killing machines.

I've heard of air horns working for "Hopeless" dogs.

It worked for my sister in law's 6 year old Springer.

I'm so sorry it's gone this far.

I've been following the threads...I'm glad you're still going to give him a chance. So many people would just give up and throw in the towel. I hope things get better.

I'm sure Rusty loves you and your mom, and loves being with you. But it sounds like he is other dog aggressive, and should be living in a home where he doesn't feel the need to start a fight with other dogs. He's probably very frustrated or feels threatened by the others for some unknown reason. But, maybe you should think of rehoming him. Just a thought.
