Your dog needs to be exercised on a daily basis to get rid of excess energy. Long walks to start. Give chew bones and dog chew toys and keep the kids' toys gated in another part of the house where the dog can't get them. Another option is good training that teaches "Drop it" and "leave it". Keep all your dogs toys in one spot so he will know which ones are his. You can train a dog to leave toys alone but he will need training. He is still a puppy so some serious training will help a lot! Puppies chew a lot too so that's actually normal. You just need to train on what he is allowed to chew on what he isn't. I would replace anything not allowed with a chew bones when my puppy did that (half jack russell) and it really worked. I would say "drop it" when she had something that wasn't hers and she learned to drop whatever it was. Supervision is the key because you have to catch them in the act. Don't yell at him. Use positive reinforcement. My dog is a well behaved angel now! It takes work but it's worth it!

If your jack russell is anything like my rat terrier, he requires a lot of attention and his own toys. Move your kids toys out of his range. Play with your jack russell with his own toys. Tennis balls are great too for fetching. Help your dog burn his energy or he will chew on things just to get your attention.

hi. It sounds like your Jack Russell is installation the reality that he's bigger up on your loved ones's "%." than your infants are. He needs to benefit that that's unacceptable. First, to show the lesson, you ought to capture your dogs in the act of stealing the toys, and remind him which you are the "Alpha dogs" - the chief of your loved ones's %.. dogs are very plenty conscious of the hierarchy of the %., some extra so than others. A Jack Russell has a great character, for being this style of small statured fellow. (Scolding your dogs over bits of chewed-up toy after the reality, isn't effective. dogs probable do not undergo in concepts whilst they chewed the toy, or why.) whilst your Jack walks into the toddler's room, persist with him in, and after he has taken a toy, an business enterprise "NO!" in a low, serious tone, from deep on your chest, similar to a warning "woof" sound. your infants ought to learn this to boot, to envision that they are above your dogs so some distance as who's in charge, and that their toys are off limits on your dogs. I quite have indexed some supplies under with extra preparation. i desire that's effective. save me published, and stable success. :-)

i have got a 6 month old jack. i found the best way to stop him chewing the boys toys was a rattle shaker. if i saw him about to pick up one of their toys i would shake the rattle and say "leave it". if he left the toy alone i would reward him with a tit bit. if he went for the toy again i would just repeat the rattle process.
now i have a lovely little jack that is happy to just walk past the toys on the floor.

There is no solution, except move the toys. They just love chewing things. You could give your dog some toys of his own. Take him out more. He may be bored.

Make sure your JRT has plenty of rawhide bones and his very own toys. Dogs can't tell the difference between their toys and someone else's toys. Have a bin with just the dogs toys and rawhide bones. Have the children put their toys away in a secure place where your JRT cannot get to them. Good Luck!

The only way really is to keep the toys away from him/her. I know this isn't easy but it would be difficult to teach your dog which toys are ok to chew and which ones aren't. Dog toys are very similar to children's ones. But if you tell him 'No' when he picks up a child's toy he will learn to drop it. Or teach him to fetch it and Praise/treat him when he does. This way you can teach him to help clean up after the kids!

you need to give it alterinative things to chew on
if you play with it, it will have less energy and wont chew on as much stuff
give it a nice bone and some dog toys and it should be satified and stop eating things they are not supost to from but some puppys would rather chew on things they are not supost to so just try to disapline your dog and hope for the best
it should grow out of it
dont listen to the post below mine

LOL!
I used dogs chewing on toys to train my kids to keep their toys picked up. Anything on the floor is fair game is my motto.
I believe firmly in discipling kids through the use of cause and effect. "You don't pick up your toys, it must be because you don't CARE about them, if you pick them up, the dogs don't use them as play toys." Of course.. I didn't really make the kids pick up until they were 18 mos or so.

All dogs are hierarchical pack animals. These animals need a leader, if you are not providing this leadership, they will take over the role and you will have a dog this is uncontrollable and badly behaved. You have got long way to go, obedience classes would be a start.
