Q: You should know what you will be getting into when you decide to adopt a Jack Russell, to make sure the breed and your lifestyle are suitably matched. Jack Russell Terriers tend to believe they are a lot bigger than they actually are. This means that they may tend to take on dogs that are bigger than them. Jack Russells can be more prone to aggression than other breeds because instinctively they attack, rather than back down, when frightened. They are one of the most enjoyable, intelligent, and stimulating breeds you could hope for; however, they are working dogs and very energetic, requiring lots of stimulation mentally and physically. This is not a good dog for an apartment or if you are gone for long periods of time. The Jack Russell Terrier is a willful breed that is going to need a lot of training. Your puppy will require training from the very beginning, especially with learning not to snip, to be patient and stay still or relaxed, and to listen and obey. Your household must be ready for the tornado to descend, so to speak. They also have a very high prey drive and do not make good pets in a household with cats or other small mammals, as they will chase and harm the other pets. Jack Russell Terriers need to be occupied or they will get into trouble. They do well with any activity, including agility competitions, dog shows, obedience training, tracking, flyball, or disc sports. They are great companions and tend to be good with children as long as the children treat the dog well, as they are not very patient with mishandling. The animal's disposition should be fearless and happy. A Jack Russell should be confident, but not overly aggressive. Consider those that appear happy, energetic and bold, without being a bully or picking on their litter mates. Traits undesirable in a Jack Russell Terrier include nervousness and cowering, as they will be more likely to bite when they are scared and they will not be suited for companionship or athleticism. Avoid puppies that appear disinterested, sluggish, or weak, as these could be signs of unhealthiness. If the puppy is very excited and responsive to all members of your household, then it will likely be a good match. There is something to be said for dogs picking their owners, just as much as owners pick their dogs. If the puppy doesn't come to you, even when encouraged, it may not be the right one for you.
A: Know the personality of the Jack Russell Terrier. Look for an alert, active and lively puppy. Watch how the puppy responds to your family members.

Q: As with any exercise regimen, you might be more likely to quit walking if you try to do too much too soon. You also could strain your muscles. Be patient and work up to longer walks. Even though walking is a low-impact exercise, your muscles, joints and feet must adjust to new activity levels to avoid soreness and injury. Motivate yourself by remembering that you can burn about 400 calories from a brisk walk, although it takes about 5 miles to do so. If you want to lose weight, it's a good idea to also reduce how many calories you eat per day and to eat healthier unprocessed foods. Try to add 2,000 steps into your daily routine when you first start walking. Sometimes you can add steps just by making small lifestyle choices every single day, such as taking the stairs at work when you could take the elevator. If you don't see weight loss right away, it might be because you are starting to build up muscle, which is good. Be patient, and you will see results over the course of time. Slowly add more steps each week. If you prefer to have a few days off during any given week, that's fine too. Just aim to walk a total of around 2.5 hours per week. One benefit of walking is that you don't need a lot of specialized equipment to do it. You can walk wherever you are, even if you are on vacation. You don't need to be in great shape to start doing it. You can go over the 2.5 hours per week recommendation as you slowly build your endurance for longer distances. The standard official health advice recommends 150 minutes of physical activity a week. All of the fitness advice, although it might vary by a few minutes here or there, consistently recommends the same thing: Walking for several hours a week, however you divide those hours up, has enormous healthy benefits. Eventually, try to walk at least 30 to 45 minutes at a time. The number one key to many forms of exercise is consistency. If you walk irregularly or, say, once a month, you're not going to see a lot of benefits. Make walking something you do regularly. If you build walking into your regular activities on a daily basis (or at least several times a week), you could see many health benefits. Walking reduces the risk factors that cause heart disease and strokes. Indeed, walking can cut your risk of heart disease by 30 percent. It can also help control the risk of diabetes and cancer. Always check with your doctor before embarking on any new physical activity, especially if you have a medical condition. Lower blood pressure, lower cholesterol, and sharper mental acuity are all benefits from regular walking activity, which is a low-cost way to improve your health.
A:
Start gradually. Aim to walk for 21 minutes per day. Walk almost every day.
