Boston Terriers are terriers – they are active to hyperactive, and need stimulation and active play. However, they are cute little devils and love their people.
As this site puts it:
“Though small in stature, most terriers are not well suited to smaller living areas such as apartments. These are high energy dogs that often need a considerably higher level of daily than many of the larger breeds. They require brisk walks and play time or space to run off their energy. Without exercise, they may develop undesirable and destructive habits. Some breeds also have a tendency to bark and yap excessively.
The strong personalities of this group of canines can pose training problems for inexperienced owners. A Jack Russell Terrier may know exactly what you want him to do – and decide not to do it. Obedience training require both calm patience, knowledge of training procedures, and the ability to convince the dog you are leader of his pack.
Training methods must be consistent day after day. A lapse in requiring your dog to obey your obedience commands may require as much effort and time to correct as to teach the command initially.
The joy of these small breeds is in their excitement and happy personalities. They are funny, curious, loving and loyal – always ready for a walk, a ride, an adventure. With proper training and adequate exercise, the terrier group makes wonderful companions.”
My mom had a Boston when she was a girl. She loved Snowflake, who went everywhere my mom did until both collapsed from exhaustion at the end of the day.
