baxters mom

hi i know im new here but i had the same problem with my jack 'baxter'. my vet told me to spread my hand out flat - palm down and when he bit or put his teeth on you to say calmly and in a low voice - "no bite" or "no teeth" while you pushed his nose/muzzle down toward his chest with your hand. the vet said this mimicks his mom putting her mouth on his and pushing his head down when he bites as a baby or does something wrong. it did work although it did take quite a few times of doing this. it was also hard at first to get him to understand i was not still playing with him that i was getting on to him instead. he did get it finally and now all i have to say is no bite or no teeth and he will stop.

i have one 6 month old male jrt and am thinking of getting another. My problem is that i do not know anyone personally that has a jrt and all the books and info i read say that it may not be a good idea to have 2 animals- dogs or whatever if you have a jrt. i just needed some input from some people who may know if in general jrt get along well with other jrt and should i get another male or would a female be better. I have no intentions of breeding so sex really does not matter. I just want the best enviornment I can have. Initally i thought baxter (my jrt) would like to have a playmate so that is what started this whole process. any input would be greatly appreciated. thanks
