So You Want a Boston Terrier? Small Dog, Full Schedule - Brandon Cole

>So You Want a Boston Terrier? Small Dog, Full Schedule is a practical owner's guide to responsible adoption, reward-based training, grooming, breed-aware health, and everyday care.

Choose With Your Head as Well as Your Heart

Learn how to evaluate breeders and rescues, verify health screening, understand CHIC records, ask better questions, and decide whether a particular Boston Terrier truly fits your household and lifestyle.

Training Without the Drama

Build housetraining, recall, loose-leash walking, calm greetings, comfortable alone time, settling, cooperative care, and everyday manners using humane reward-based methods instead of fear, pain, or outdated dominance ideas.

Small Face, Important Health Considerations

Understand brachycephalic breathing, BOAS, heat tolerance, eye safety, hearing, knees, skin, dental care, body condition, and the warning signs that mean it is time to stop Googling and call the veterinarian.: contentReference[oaicite:2]

Everyday Care That Actually Works

Create realistic routines for feeding, exercise, enrichment, grooming, travel, caregivers, emergencies, and the changing needs of your Boston Terrier through adulthood and the senior years.

The goal is not to raise a perfectly behaved little gentleman in a tuxedo.

It is to build a safe, healthy, enjoyable life with a dog whose body may be compact-but whose personality and schedule are anything but.
