That said, while you can learn the step-by-step methods for boston terrier training from a professional trainer or a book, the following are the things you will not want to include in your lessons if you want your pooch to successfully learn a command.

Don’t…

•    Become angry or frustrated with your terrier dog.  Though it is easy to shout or lose your patience when he doesn’t listen to you or becomes disinterested, reprimanding your pal is giving him the wrong idea.  Your goal is to help him understand what you want from him, not scare or bore him.  You need patience and you need to take it slow and let your boston learn at his pace, not yours.

•    Make lessons long.  Your boston terrier training must be kept short because dogs have very poor attention spans, especially when they are puppies.  Your sessions should be no longer than 5-10 minutes.  This doesn’t mean that you can only instruct him for a maximum of ten minutes per day; it simply means you need to take sufficient breaks.

•    Confuse your dog.  Stick to one method of teaching and make certain the rest of your family members follow suit.  Ensure everyone uses the same steps and the same hand signals.  The more familiar something is the easier it is to understand.

•    Train him just anywhere.  Canines can be distracted by anything.  Smells, sights, sounds and tastes are all extremely exciting to terriers.  Therefore, when you are beginning boston terrier training (particularly a new instruction), if not done in a proper class, choose an area of your home that is quiet and void of anything that is too tempting.

•    Forget to praise every time.  Every time your pup follows through with a command, praise and reward him with attention, affection and/or a small treat.  All he wants to do is please you, and the more he knows he is accomplishing this, the faster he will learn, listen and remember.

Finally, don’t forget that boston terrier training doesn’t end once you have taught him everything you want him to learn.  All that is gained must be kept fresh.  Test him with what he has learned on a daily basis and you’ll be pleased with his obedience and he’ll be happy to please you.

Nevertheless, even though boston terrier puppies may have become accustom to using their mouth, you need to make it clear to your canine that you are the leader of his pack.  This means your body, clothes and other belongings are off limits.  Teaching your pet not to bite is not as difficult as you might think and it’s a lesson they need to learn.  After all, biting is certainly not something you want your terrier to continue when he’s full grown.

The following are some tips you can put into practice to deter your pup from his chomping habit.

Tip 1 – When boston terrier puppies nip at your skin produce a sharp cry.  The more you can make this sound like a high pitched yelp the more he should respond to it.  Yelping is what his other four-legged brothers and sisters would do, so it is more likely to work to your advantage as he is more apt to respond on instinct.

Tip 2 – If making an injured noise doesn’t work, another good idea is to take hold of his muzzle and close your hand around his mouth gently applying pressure.  In a firm voice tell him “no”.  Repeat this every time he does it, holding his snout closed for a longer period each time.   Be sure to praise him when he licks you instead of using his teeth to help him understand that this is acceptable while biting is not.

Tip 3 – Boston puppies love attention and they love to play, by ignoring him and taking away this special time you’ll get his attention.  If your little one starts to get nippy and you’ve followd tip 2 but he hasn’t got the message, cease all interaction with him to make it clear you aren’t playing with him if he’s going to be a biter.

Remember, though you want to stop boston terrier puppies from biting, chewing is a natural habit, especially during teething, so you need to provide your pooch with plenty of acceptable things to chew on.

You’ll see beg, shake, high five, touch, lay down, roll over, bang, crawl, stand, sit, and take a bow.

Here your can see how to teach your Boston Terrier how toroll over and play dead.

Look out for play dead, sit, twirl, speak, lay down, rollover, take a bow, and wait for treat.
