Cute little guy indeed...

But how do you tell when he's looking at YOU?

He looks like that old western actor who's eye's point two differant directions.

Thanks for the kind words, everyone. :D He is really cute and has been very good so far. We just need to housebreak him. :D

He is a Boston Terrier, and he is six weeks old today.

Cute pooch!

We just need to housebreak him.
Easiest way to do this (provided someone is home most of the time) is to put him in the yard/walk him every hour or so whether he needs to "go" or not. Praise him if he does go while you're outside (taking him to the same spot each time helps too thanks to the "interesting" smells;)). He'll figure it out pretty quickly and it's much less stressful on the dog than scolding for going in the house.

Cute pup!

I know several people who have Boston Terriers and all of them are great dogs. :)

Crate training is affective too. You keep him there while your gone (if not toooo long) and at night, because they usually don't poop where they sleep.

Cage train him!!! Use/buy lots of Natures Miracle for clean up of "accidents".

Good luck!

Yup. Great if you can't be home all the time. Dogs also like to have their own "space" when they are stressed out so the cage actually serves two purposes.:)

a friend of mine has a boston terrier. when someone knocks on the door the dog runs over to it and jump up like 3 and a half feet to look out the window and see who it is.
