Best to avoid terriers like Jack Russells and similar as it is their nature to catch and kill. Most dogs can be trained not to touch chickens if they are brought up that way from the start. A couple of the best breeds to train as they are intelligent are Labrador Retreivers and Border Collies. They may even be taught how to 'herd' the chickens like sheepdogs herd sheep. It will be more difficult if you have an older dog who is introduced to chickens for the first time, you may need professional help.

Possible solutions:
Introducing a rooster to the flock may deter a small dog or puppy from bothering the chickens.
Closely supervise a dog and the chicken(s) in your yard, using a hose or spray bottle to squirt the dog every time it gets too close and or bothers the chickens.
Consult an animal trainer.
