The Boston Terrier dog, although not officially defined as a Terrier by the American Kennel Club, is a small but sturdy dog. It is ideal for people who don't have a lot of land and therefore cannot keep large breed dogs that are most happy with a large area to run around in. The Boston Terrier is best suited to an indoor life with occasional outdoor play. Their small size also makes them ideal for houses where space is an issue. They are also highly intelligent dogs, which makes training them much easier.
It is a great dog for families because of its loving nature. It is also very sociable and does not mind other dogs or cats. It can be hard to have territorial dogs if you are a social family and like to invite people over. The Boston Terrier is a very friendly dog and will not growl or bark at new people who come over.
Training Boston Terrier dogs you need to be firm but not harsh. This is because they are sensitive little dogs and using your tone of voice to indicate displeasure is probably the most effective training tool. You need to be consistent in your training, always voice your displeasure over bad behavior and reward good behavior. This is the best way to train a well-behaved Boston Terrier dog.
A well-socialized Boston Terrier will get along with everyone in your household and barks only when it senses danger or intruders. The high intelligence of a Boston Terrier allows it to differentiate between friends of the family who are welcome in the house and people who are clearly intruding. This is in part due to the sensitivity of Boston Terriers to their owner's moods. They are especially sensitive to the tone of your voice and can instantly sense a rebuke in your voice.
It can be hard to tell whether your adorable Boston Terrier puppy will grow into a well-behaved lovable Boston Terrier dog. One way to make sure that you get the best dog possible is to get your dog from a reputable breeder. Avoid pet shops like the plague.
Ask how many times a year the bitches have litters. If the breeder seems like they are trying to get as many puppies as possible from the one dog then you should avoid buying.
However if you were unlucky enough to get a puppy that was not well socialized then you may have a Boston Terrier that is always going to be hyperactive and this can be a real pain. If you have small children in the house you need to be especially careful that whatever dog you choose is going to be gentle and not aggressive in the least.
You can judge from an adult Boston Terrier right away what type of dog you have on your hands.
