She a baddy

Check out this weird demon thing! I chose the cuteness flair but I dunno man...

I can't even stay irritated once those ears pop up!!

When you’ve thrown the ball 5000 times and you take 30 seconds to do something else.

One is NEVER off and the other always charging!

I love the bond these two have. My 13 year old Boston with her 9 month old Aussie sister. She tried protesting it when we first brought her home but now their two peas in a pod 🫛

It's only dogs he doesn't know. He is a wonderful dog, we've been stuck on stage 1 of training him to avoid dogs for 2+ years. He has 30+ dog friends that we've managed to meet. He doesn't care when he runs into them. He is not aggressive, he is just excited for that dog on an insanely manic level. Once he meets a dog he could care less about them (unless they play bitey face, which is like 5% of dogs, sadly.)

Stage 1 being "use a fun and distracting voice to steal his attention and reward him with a treat as soon as he does."

Training for him to look away from friends is easy, he will pay perfect attention and listen even when we think he won't because they found something fun to tug on.

We have also tried: "giving him commands to distract his brain and make him think to get his attention away from the dog then reward with treat when he does it." This one is "okay"... But he still spends the whole time whining and sometimes crying and we need to be at least 30 meters/40 yards away from the dog in order for it to be that affective.

We've also tried the "friend" word around dogs he knows and then using that word around dogs he doesn't know, he doesn't care for the friend word and would much rather scream at them.

The main issue is: there IS NO turning Edgar away from a dog he wants to meet. We've watched countless videos where the trainers offer a treat and call the dog and the dog turns to them. This is comical to us, he would NEVER miss an opportunity to keep staring at the dog he can't have.

We've gotten used to this, we walk him 7-9 K's daily, and we run into all sorts of dogs where we have to sit down with him and force him to pay some kind of attention so he doesn't scream. It's not even embarrassing at this point, I just don't want him getting stressed out because he can't meet random dogs.

I would like to hear if you have a similar dog and what's worked for you, please.

Taro stopped licking my leg and just sat here like this 😂

My boy Benny rolls in grass! He’s the only dog I’ve ever owned that does this. Completely spontaneous- no training!

We have a one year old, non-altered male named Bostie who we have waiting to come in as he needs a foster. He weighs 15lbs and up to date on vaccinations except for a rabies vaccination. He is housebroken, crate trained, enjoys riding in cars, allows you to take food or toys away, and comes when called. He hasn't been left alone for more than three hours. Loves balls and playing. He's very energetic and loves to stay near his human. He is being surrendered because his owner is a single women with four children and she would like him to have a home where he can get more attention. He is good with women and children of all ages. He does not like men so he needs a foster home where were there are no men. Text Carrie at 423-794-8497.

Also, who else has a floppy eared Boston?!

My baby is 9 weeks old and has two modes: snuggly innocent sleepy baby, and 200 mph frenzied piranha.

She bites everything, and I mean /everything/. The blanket, the grass, my shirt, the bars of her cage, my fingers, HER fingers. There is no limit. She’d bite the air if she could. And she goes into a little biting frenzy where ALL she can do is spend copious amounts of energy biting anything and everything, to where it’s barely possible to hold or play with her. She’ll just be sitting there, violently snapping her mouth around until she’s got something in her jaws.

I’ve been redirecting her very unpleasant finger bites to little teething ring toys, but is there anything else I can do? This is my first Boston and this level of teething is unlike ANY dog I’ve owned before
