    Having my BT in my life has been my greatest experience, and I've had kids and climbed Kilimanjaro! She is so intelligent, loving, and funny. I, too, have mine crate-trained. It allows us to take her everywhere (although once we get where we're going, she sits on my husband's lap). It's also where she sleeps at night on our bed, and relaxes throughout the day. I give her a tiny salmon treat every time she goes in so she's very happy to do so. I can't believe this breed isn't more popular - they're just incredible. I've met so many BT past and present owners who just rave about their dogs, even a burly guy who had a tattoo of his on his arm!

    Wow--you are doing such a great job with Cooper's training. If only everybody understood the need for this. He is happier & safer & you are happier as a result. I have always had great dogs--put in a lot of training & spend their lifetime enjoying & loving them. For the last 14 years I have been working with a rescue. I have had successes & a couple of not so greats. I currently have a permanent foster who is an older dog with some health issues & he is hard to train. We are working on it, but like you, I may need to go back to therapy for a bit (for both of our sakes). We just started him on acupuncture & I think that is going to help Thanks for a whole video on Cooper ;->

    Good talk about crate training. I'm not expert, but it's tough. I've dealt with several puppies and the first few weeks can be rough until they settle in to the household. It's easier when they are little (I had to work with a 2 yr old husky/malalmute and get him to chill in his crate. Feeding in the crate helps (even hand feeding). It's good to create a safe place for them to go and relax.

    I couldn't click on this video fast enough!! We are getting a new BT puppy in a few weeks, our beloved 11 year old Boston passed away recently from illness, She was our 4th Boston. We LOVE them so much!! I am dreading the crate training at night thing because I know I'll be so tempted to go get her and put her in our bed when she screams and cries. I don't want to do that but I can't go too long without sleep . Did you keep Cooper's crate in the room with you at night when you were crate training him to sleep in there, or did you keep it in another room? I'm a little confused about the treats you give him while training him. Do you just train at meal time or are you essentially "feeding" him his meals all day long while training him? Does this tend to over feed him ? Do you ever use conventional "doggie treats" while training him or rewarding him when he does something properly ? It has been a long time since I had a little puppy in my house so you'll forgive me if I ask some seemingly stupid questions. Cooper is a smart, beautiful Boston boy....I know you are so proud of him and I'm sure he gives you such joy and love. Bostons are the BEST !!

And has accidents inside all the time. I’m here trying to find new ways to help him learn. I’ve done the crating. He poops aaaaaalll over his cage. Ughhhh I need help lol. I take him out and we are outside for a while. Then he comes right in and goes. He holds it. He’s a character but he’s always over the top with the cats and the kids.
