My very first dog as a child was a Jack Russell, I loved her dearly but I have to admit that she was a bit of a growler at times. My brother has a Jack Russell he is a farm dog and he is very protective of my brother, no one would get near my brother or his car if the dog wasn\'t told it was OK. Your dog will get used to the cats in time and learn not to push her luck. Have there been any more incidents of aggression?

Back in my days as a professional trainer, I had many calls from potential clients about their "aggressive" puppies only to find puppies who were showing normal puppy play that was being wrongly interpeted as aggression. Showing teeth while growling is not normally a part of puppy play. If you still think she is being aggressive and not just soliciting play, I would get her to a vet immediately to rule out any physical problem as the cause for aggression and if none is found, contact a CERTIFIED behaviorist immediately to get her evaluated. If you have an 18 week old puppy who is truly aggressive, it will be more than you can handle by yourself.<!-' + '- google_ad_section_end -' + '->\r\n
