: I live in a woody area with a million squirrels roaming around. I just adopted a 2-year old female JRT and I am really afraid she might hurt herself physically by jumping up and down, left and right, every time she sees/senses one.
: Is there a way to keep those pests away?

: Thank you.

Hi Valery,

If there is a method to keep them away I haven't found it lol!

It sounds like they are the perfect exercise machine for your terrier. Unless your girl is climbing trees to get at them I wouldn't worry so much, these little dogs are pretty sturdy.
