The JRTCA's objective is promoting the breed by the means of public education, breeders' guidance, and helping owners to raise their Jack Russell Terriers. The dogs are not registered there until they reach the age of 12 months old. After this age and on the condition the Jack Russell meets all the standards set by the club, the dog can enjoy club registration.

Those interested in active trial participation can make use of professionals' advice and attend special classes. One of the events organized by the JRTCA and some other clubs is go-to-ground trials. It exercises the dog's ability to pursue game. A Jack Russell Terrier is supposed to go through a tunnel and find the prey in a limited period of time. The fastest dogs are considered the winners.

Jack Russell Terriers are said to excel in agility and conformation. Their natural strength and energy help them to perform with much success and allow their owners to be proud of the intelligent breed. In fact, the Jack Russell Terrier is a rather smart breed and can learn to perform various tricks. Yet, training Jack Russell Terriers should be consistent and experienced club officers are sure to supply help if needed.
