Potty training a Boston Terrier

[BttleFedC10]

My puppy has gotten the habbit of barking when were eating now. You tell him no or hush and he just thinks its a game. We have a fly swatter that we warn him with if he doesnt stop and again he thinks its a game. running around and shit. I cant wait till he grows outta this habit.

The best trick I've used all my life and works like a champ is to get you some bells and tie them on a string and hang it low enough on the door knob that the puppy can ring them. Show him that everytime the bells ring the door opens. It doesn't take long for a dog to catch on. I've never had a dog take longer than 2 or 3 days to learn this concept. Hell our dog is 3 yrs old and he still rings the bells.

That's what I did with my bt, teach them to hit the bell to make noise when you take them out to pee. It only took about a week or two to get her trained.

Also, Seb, where did you get the boston at? I'm looking at getting another one soon.

Just need patience, I have a 1 year old boston & took forever to train him. Try taking him out more often & as soon as he is done take him right in. Also try to avoid contact with his ears, you could possibly damage the cartilage in his ears and his ears would stay floppy (happened to my boston, my kid would never leave them alone)just fyi .

I got mine from a breader, But they dont bread that often, I think they might have one more litter & they are done if I remember right

Well GOOD NEWS guys & ladys. Harris is making PROGRESS. No accidents as of past two days. He has pretty much been in his crate most of the time or in his pin outside. But last night we let him out the crate to socialize with the family since all the kids are here this weekend. Peyton & Aubrey I get every other weekend & her two boys & soon to add another little boy. My boy Haddock. I know it sounds fishy. Anyways Harris has been doing good. KNOCK ON WOOD & Sign of the Cross, Lets hope he keeps being a good boy!

Thank you everyone above for all your help & suggestions. The stern NO has been working & straight outside to his pin & when he comes in its straight to his crate, So I think the little guy is getting the idea
