    We did zero research, Gabby was a gift from our Grandaughters boy friend , who’s parents breed Boston’s . She is a little over two years old now and absolutely the most wonderful dog we have ever owned. She knows no tricks , loves to play and is basically is just another family member.she loves people and we love her beyond words.

    My relationship with my BT has been the most rewarding of my life. I got her when she was 6 weeks old and now she's 5 years old. She's intelligent, incredibly affectionate, funny, and absolutely adorable. She LOVES people! She's not fond of other dogs. She does bark when the doorbell rings. I love her little snores. She is not stubborn but I've been consistent in her routines. She goes with us EVERYWHERE and she's never a problem - she rides in a spacious carrier and then sits on my husbands lap. She makes every single day so much brighter. I was the luckiest day to find her in Craigslist of all places!

    One thing that I didn't see in the transcript is how to handle their reverse sneezing. ---plug their nose when it happens.
    There may be a more formal term, but short nose dogs will get a flap in their throat that partially covers their air tube. And they kind of freeze, have difficulty breathing...it looks like they are reverse sneezing.
    If you cover their nostrils the pressure in they flap dissipates and it lays back into the correct position and they breathe normally again.

    Boston Terriers Unite! What a beautiful Boston! I am in love with Bloom! Thank-you so much for sharing her with us. I grew up with Bostons, (and St Bernards), and have been owned by both breeds my entire life. Bostons ROCK! Best toys for Bostons. ANYTHING indestructible! Kong chew toys are fantastic! Those rubber chew toys go on forever! But you know, the best thing we got for our baby Bostie was a puppy bed called, Comfort Pup. At the top, it has a 'mother' dog with a heart beat that comforted our baby. It's been a while since we bought the puppy bed, so check around for availability. E-bay would be a good start. Great video, BT Society! Two thumbs, (and 4 paws up from our BT Marni)! You have 2 new subscribers. Although, one tends to drool a bit and chase butterflies outside!

He tolerates our Beagle Maisie but any other dog he attacks, especially bigger dogs. He is a 100 lb dog in a 19 lb dog’s body. And even at 12 he has the energy of a four year old. The vet was shocked at his true age. Boston’s are the best breed for families, hands down!

    Our Boston is 18 months old. Jock really chews, like EVERYTHING. Destroyed a cell phone which was lying on the couch and ruined my son’s very expensive reading glasses.. TWICE. I understand that they are not outside dogs, but due to the frustration of the chewing we feel forced to keep him outside more as he just is destructive when inside the house. We would let him be with us in the room watching a movie, and he would get up and go fetch something he’s not suppose to chew. The kids play with him daily, he’s got lots of chew toys, we just don’t know what to do anymore. We love Jock, my husband is not a big dog lover and the fact that he’s chewing everything is not making it easy. We felt we wanted to get a family dog and we like everything about him. Chewing is just causing a lot of stress for everyone. We don’t allow him to climb on our couches or beds which makes cuddling a little difficult. I cuddle with them on the carpet. Any advice will be greatly appreciated

    Toys - with my girl (and I recommended this to my sister with her Staffie) - Balls and anything that bounces are OUR toys. As in I'll go out and throw for her to play fetch or chase around etc. But I NEVER leave her alone with anything that bounces because their prey drive kicks in and they just laser focus and will chase a bouncing ball through anything - your TV for eg or even worse if your outdoors like maybe under a car. They just lose all sense of danger chasing bouncing toys. So I'll play with them with her, but when she's alone she can chew on or wrestle with her thousand other NON-BOUNCING toys. This advice really settled down my sisters Staffie too. Don't go out and leave your dog alone with a ball or bouncing toy in your house or you might find it smashed to pieces when you get home.

    This was a great video. As far as her dog being loyal and loving at home, but when she’s out of the house she’s obsessed with people and especially kids, that’s not just a Terrier thing or because he was around kids when he was young. My Miniature Dacshund acts the same way when We take him out. He literally cries when he sees kids and babies. And we got him from a pet store when he was 10 weeks. We kept him in the house for the first six weeks. He still had more shots to get. When we finally took him out, he was crying to meet anyone he saw especially babies. He will be a year old in a couple of weeks and he’s still the same. Hopefully he will grow out of it in the near future.

    Hello,
    My Boston Terrier, Luda, is fully grown and only weighs 13 pounds. I accepted him from my friend after she got a Schnoodle puppy. She wanted a dog that barks. Luda is really quiet and laidback. He is really affectionate and attentive. He will bark every now and then. He barked at the new Schnoodle puppy while I was holding him. I put the puppy down and he stopped barking. The puppy wanted to play, but Luda started avoiding him.
    Now, Luda LOVES sucking on his toys, bed, and blankets. My friend would say that he was sucking on his thumb. LOL!
    Luda has a pop up puppy playpen. He knows it’s his playpen.
    Speaking of the bell… my Chihuahua used to ring the desk bell that was on the floor. I think it’s only took less than an hour to train him to tap on the bell to go outside in the backyard to go potty. I miss him so much! My girlfriend know how much I miss and loved him, so she gave me Luda. I used to play every time I visited them on the island.
    Luda is the perfect dog for me!!!

    Basic obedience is easy if you start early. Milo our 12 year old picked up basics like DOWN (not sit , down on your chest), whoa (stop) and AHHHH (no). Milo rarely needs any of these commands but while chasing his toy, if it ever gets away and goes onto the road, the AHHHH totally cured him and now he refuses to go off the property while off leash. He constantly gets praised by neighbours walking by that he will go up to the edge of the road but won't step foot on the road even though he desperately wants them to pet him.

    We got a rehomed Boston Terrier who was around 2 1/2 years old at the time. He’s around 4 now. We weren’t told his true history that he has fear aggression around other animals. At the time we got him we had 4 cats. I was so upset that this man lied to us about his history. We took our dog to a K-9 trainer that guaranteed he could fix these behaviors in our dog. Needless to say, he didn’t. He told us that our dog needs to be put on medication before he could be trained. Our BT was on freaking Prozac prescribed by the vet and all it did was make him shake uncontrollably so we took him off it. We have tried everything to help our dog. I’ve read that some dogs are just untrainable and I fear that this may be the case with our dog. I feel so bad for him because he’s gained so much weight because he can’t be outside around other animals. We live next to a walking trail and we can’t even walk our dog outdoors because he flips out and goes after other animals. Our poor cats have been relegated to our basement and we put a cat door for them to be able to go outside. We didn’t want to give up on our dog. We felt so bad for him. He actually went after a dog on the sidewalk in front of our house because I had him improperly fastened to his collar and left a mark on this dog. The lady called the police and a state trooper came to my house and said that my dog should be shot! I paid for her dogs small mark. It was so small that you could barely see it and my dog had all his shots unlike her dog but that’s neither here nor there. I didn’t let him go on purpose. My dog barks at cartoon animals on tv! I really want our dog to have some quality of life. He sure doesn’t have one sitting in the house day in and day out. 😥

    We have number 3 now. Wouldn't ever have any other breed. My Maizey did have to have knee surgery at 9 months old. We've heard they are known to have this problem. Luxating patella.
    She goes nuts if you shake a trash bag and she and no.#2, Buckwheat, went nuts if you picked up a broom. Carrying a broom works as well as a leash!!!!!😂

    My Bostons have had quite different personalities. My old girl was very gentle and quite reserved with strangers outside. My 9 month old puppy loves everyone. She is potty trained but I have to warn anyone that comes near her that she will pee on them! Usually it lands on the ground. So far she has christened the mail man, the UPS and FedEx guys, my neighbor, my step kids, the septic tank engineer, the guy who looks after our fish tank and even the dog trainers. Fortunately she is incredibly cute so it has not caused a problem and we keep her away from anyone that might have a issue. Yes, and she actually graduated from her beginner doggy training class, although she got that trainer on a later visit! We took her to swim class which she loved. There was a $200 charge if the dog were to poop in the pool. Fortunately there were no accidents other than peeing on the swim instructor before she got in the pool so no charge Lol. We are going to try more classes to hopefully get her to greet people more calmly......

    Our Mia is 7 months old. She eats the fur off tennis 🎾. Mia attacks toys. Our Saluki never destroyed toys but Mia’s bite/grip is so strong. We give her yak cheese to keep her entertained or chicken rings. It used to take 2-3 days to finish the chicken rings and a week or two for the yak cheese. This month it takes 15 minutes to finish the chicken ring and a few hours for the yak cheese. It’s insane!

    I'm thinking about getting a Boston for my 15 months old Beagle bestie and i found this video. OMG they personality seems look alike. My Beagle girl is barkless and welcoming all guests with wagging tail, she's so cuddly and always attached her body on me while sleeping, she also a quick learner for so many tricks and agilities, inside my house she only pay attentions to me and always follows my commands, but at the park she will pick up scents then run to her doggo friends to play (she do have so many friends) - and just forget about me, like "bye, see yaaa!" 😶
    I know its so common for Beagles is another dog oriented (they were living on a pack), but i thought Boston is people oriented? Or i was wrong?

    And my Boston terrier weighs 30 lb. I thought he was going to be smaller but I think it's the males that are bigger and the females are smaller. That's what I see it a lot of. He's travel to Florida with me every year for 3 months out of the year. He's the best traveling dog. He listens. He won't even go out our front door unless I give him permission. Even then he has a tates he has to have his leash on or he won't go. There was a time in the first got him. He ran out the door and almost ran out into the street and I trained him and he doesn't do it now. He waits he won't go out the door unless I give him permission and even then he can hesitate

Had a C-section and hysterectomy then,they put her one and only baby with a lactating mom. Plz help me handle these problems with my girl

She is a Boston Terrier, dachshund, Poodle, with little Maltese and Chihuahua. She is great but barks alot, at other dogs and unknown people. likely due to the mix with dachshundand/or Chihuahua. she looks like toto from wizard of oz

    Hubby and I just got our first boston two weeks ago and we love him!! He sleeps through the night, hardly barks, and loves cuddling. Only problem is... he is a land shark! He strongly prefers chewing on our flesh over his toys. We tried bite inhibition the first few days, but our yelping seems to egg him on to bite harder. Is this normal and when will he grow out of it? Any advice? He's almost 10 weeks.

      @sarahduvall4312 2 года назад +2

      @@lyssaharboure6241 Yes he grew out of it! He's 15 months now, and he was fully past biting us by about 5 or 6 months. We love the little guy, but had some serious buyer's remorse those first few weeks haha. I promise it gets much better. Now, if I put my hand in his mouth, he won't bite down on it. Now if I could just get him to stop jumping on guests so much 🤪😅
