About CJ - CP

CJ was born on December 10, 2021. He is currently 20 lbs and is current on all his vaccinations, including Bordadela for boarding purposes.We have taken exceptional care of him. He has been a mouthy dog since puppy. Of course we thought it was just puppy bite but we soon found out that he grew into it. We did everything we could to train him until after 3 years we took him to a very reputable Veterinarian Behaviorist. We worked with her for a year. All kinds of meds, different foods. He was on Farmers Dog for a long time then developed allergies so we put him on prescription food from the vet. When nothing really worked, the recommendation was that we euthanize him. Our hearts were broken and we decided to give him a second chance at life. We knew he was a good dog and just needed something more. He needed leadership, direction and protection. Of course we didn't know this as we never had a Jack Russell before. We then found a behavioral trainer in TN who has had CJ for 5 weeks. The transformation has been nothing more than amazing. He is so well trained now. He has become quite the celebrity on Instagram. People are following his progress and routing for him. It's been wonderful to see. An entirely different dog. We will continue the training virtually until the end of September. This was the best decision we ever made for him. We also purchased all the tools that he is currently getting in training. New kennel, new bed, his new food.(Raw Variance). Slip lead we will get from his trainer. CJ needs a loving environment where he can live out the rest of his life happy and healthy. He will still need to adhere to all of the training he received otherwise our concern would be that he will more than likely revert back to his old habits. CJ is just not compatible for us and now more than ever my husband has some major health issues that we have to deal with and we cannot give him the attention he deserves.
