Standard Boston Terrier Obedience Tips
Training should be a pleasant and rewarding situation for both you and your Boston Terrier. If you are not in the best mood for training, do not even begin. Always reward the Boston Terrier for obeying your orders expeditiously! A treat is anything that your Boston Terrier wants and is happy to earn. Snacks are the usual reward but different treats could be verbal commendation and playthings. Multiple brief training sessions are typically better than one long one. Training must not involve any degrading comments or punishment. There should be no shouting, no smacking or hitting, no leash yanking on choke chains or collars, and absolutely no electric fences! Every training session is to be enjoyable and reinforcing with prizes for a job well done.
