Why does my Jack Russell Follow me Everywhere?
Maybe your Jack Russell is a Velcro Dog! But why? And what does that mean?
Jack Russells were bred as hunting dogs originally and as a result of spending a great deal of time with their owners, they developed the trait of being very loyal and attached. They follow you because they want the affection and also the mental stimulation that dogs get from their owners including playing and training. They are a very intelligent breed which means that they do need a lot of attention.
