This was a nice video but you never mentioned what to do with the puppy at night. Put them in a crate and let them cry and whimper all night and take them out to potty every 2 hours, let them sleep with you and take them out every 2 hours? I'm getting a 6 week old BT baby soon and am not sure how to handle the night time routine? I know she will cry all night being separated from her mom and littermates and I don't know how to resist the pitiful crying all night. HELP !!
As a boston owner of 5 and my family has many. In their early weeks, months, then year they are very smart. Choose the path you want from your dog. As for toys free out, I disagree, depends on a square head or round head. Squares get high anxiety when you are gone so they will need to be kennel trained, he would get anxiety while i was gone and chew on stuff. Once trained and a toy out he wont need a kennel unless bad or need to be controlled. my oldest is a roundie and never had as much problems and hes very smart. Never had to kennel, never needed a leash, even living in LA! Not that my square isnt smart its hes just dumb. I know that doesnt make sense but to put it into perspective squares are more from judge, roundies are smaller from their mother. So you have a bully style and smaller style. The squares tend to take more constant training, so start early if you got that bloodline, and I mean a lot. My roundie he just thought he was a human and or cat or any other dog around him. Swear me and him can talk by grunts lol. Actually took minimal training but still crucial early. Hes 15 now and still very spry. Unfortunately hes going deaf and blind so teach them hand signals and whistles or clicks that they will always know. My square knows them same with the girls, ones a square and very protective just like the male, the others are round and very much like my round. Theres is difference in personality that you notice and may require more attention, love, training etc. They are smart great dogs for city life but also like to venture, get them multiple clothes. Feed them proper, get their zoomies out and yes do sleep with them, they are pack animals so they will always wanna be with you like a pack of Huskies are. If you are uncomfortable and throw them in the kennel it can break the bond with you. Only use it as way to show them they need controlled. At night or on the couch etc. Let them cuddle. They are sweet wonderful dogs. I will always cherish my kids. 🥰
Hey :) great videos. I am researching getting a Boston Terrier as my first pup. You said when toilet training take the pup out every hour on the hour (as well as after food, water & naps) then praise when they do their business, at what point do you recommend it can be longer than an hour? What is the next step? What about through the night? I live in a seconds floor flat so keen to put in the work for a good routine for me and a pup, thanks!
Very interested in your online free course, but cannot access them when I click on the link, thanks let me know how to get to those courses. Much appreciated.
These videos are great, I've got 16 week old Boston (male) puppy, I got him home approx 3 weeks ago. I live on the 16th floor of a high-rise building, wondering what your thoughts are on potty training with this circumstance. Also although I work from home, taking him outside every hour (during the work day) is not always possible. I would really appreciate your thoughts on this... thanks! Steve

What about when your vet tells you not to take your puppy out until it turns 3 months old? Any suggestions for potty training at home???
Get ready for fantastic fun chaos! Get ready to move! No sitting for you! 😂❤️
Mine comes home this Sunday

Taking your pup out every hour or every two hours around the clock for a few weeks WORKS!…and is worth it!!….you will never have an accident!
Also introducing them to doggie toothbrushes…nail clipping …etc…..early and often
What about at night time?

My sister had some success with the Pet Loo pad with her Border Collie when she lived upstairs.
So I should not have water out for the dog at all times?
Yes you should
Do you have a Boston terrier ?i have one named Layla
This had nothing to do with Boston Terriers
Only one thing you can do and that's cuddle and love it OR ELSE
Great tips but too long introduction etc. repartitions… ok let’s start lol again 😜👍
OMG, they may have good things to say. I can't handle the foolish looking beards. Who in the heck said it was a good idea?
