My friend, over the xmas period, is going visiting some family members that don't like dogs so i'm going to look after his Jack Russell while he away. She's quite hyper, lively and playful so looking forward to spending time with her. My friend is going to brief me on the do's and don'ts before he leaves but any advice and tips will be appreciated.

If they called them Perpetual Motion Terriers it would be more accurate, but fewer people would want one. Have a lot of tug toys at hand, and be prepared for heaps of walks.
Work on basic obedience (Sit, Drop, Stay, Come, and Loose Lead walking as mental work tires a dog out more than physical exercise. Do short (5to10 minute) sessions three times per day.
Collect as many cardboard cartons as you can to make tunnels and jumps to create an agility obstacle course.
Relax, have fun, and don't let him off lead unless he's in a fenced area. The best escape artists are Jack Russells.
