Jack russell dog
2 years old
walks well usually
timid nature generally

Try driving him somewhere fun and new. Bring his favorite ball and a bunch of tasty treats. Lots of praise and encouragement. Interact with him and tell him that the rain ain't gonna hurt him…keep him entertained and I doubt he will be too fussed about the rain.

   Jack Russell that doesn't like water?? Unbelievable. LOL.

   I can't even water my grass if mine's outside, as she would drink herself to death. And rain is not a problem, she doesn't even notice. I do have other dogs that don't like the rain. If you yell, or get upset, then they really won't do anything. I just put them outside, tell them to 'go back' until they are done, then have a towel and treat ready for them when they come back in. When it's really pouring, I do go out there with an umbrella, taking one at a time, until they do their thing.

   To the person below me, I have been one of 'those people' that hold umbrellas over their dogs until they go. LOL. My husband thinks I'm crazy, but they know they don't want to get wet.

   We have chihuahuas and it is almost impossible to make them go out im the rain. If you can, take them on a covered patio or something when it rains. I have heard of people holding an umbrella over their dogs so they can go and not get wet….lol
