First of all Pete has gotten better with the cats. He listens to the "leave it" command and they have been close enough to touch and have ignored each other.
I have 3 kids. Ages 9, 7.5, and 5.5. My youngest who has some minor health issues is jealous of Pete and has either tried to get puppy excited or gotten in his face and today he was nipped in the nose.
My mom who is a dog trainer chides me for getting a puppy first of all, and jack Russell terrier second of all. She has worked with me and Pete some but we are waiting for him to mature. She has suggested re-homing and getting a proven with kids and cats dog. She is willing to work with pete and I but she supports if I make a different decision.
What would you do?
