Boston Terrier Training

Do you have a Boston Terrier that needs some training help? Natalie from Crazy Kind Calm dog training can help!

With over 900 dogs trained across the Macedon Ranges, Natalie understands the unique personality and needs that come with this wonderful breed.

Boston Terriers are compact, tuxedo-wearing charmers with a lively, affectionate nature. Known as the 'American Gentleman,' they're intelligent and adaptable — but their terrier roots and flat faces create some specific challenges.

Common Boston Terrier traits and training needs

  • Can be stubborn about training — the terrier independence comes through
  • Prone to over-excitement and hyperactivity, especially around guests
  • May develop resource guarding over toys, food, and favourite people
  • Can be reactive to other dogs, particularly on lead
  • Prone to overheating due to their flat face, which affects exercise tolerance
  • Attention-seeking behaviours including barking and pawing when ignored

Boston Terrier owners love their little dog's tuxedo charm and big personality. If your Boston goes from zero to chaos when the doorbell rings, guards their toys with terrier determination, or struggles in the heat — that's the breed. Their intelligence and desire to be the centre of attention actually works in your favour during training. They learn quickly when the reward is your approval.

"Natalie was very professional and a lovely person to deal with. My 10 month old Lowchen was very responsive to her commands. I was very impressed with the training notes she sent the next day too. I would recommend Crazy Kind Calm . Jenny Ryan"

"We just had a family/dog training session with our dog Ollie. Not only is Nat most excellent in imparting heaps of very useful and ace knowledge about our dog, I am most stocked about how she managed to teach (or shall I say train) our kids to train the dog :) - Now that we all got taught how to best train our doggo, we can tackle it together and it's not just a "parent's" job. Thanks heaps Nat x"
