Seriously, could this little Boston Terrier be any happier? As you can see from this photo, these small dogs are really high energy, but a ton of fun. If you want a quiet, small lapdog, this breed is not right for you.
However, if you want a smart, slightly hyper dog that thinks you are the best, you may want to take a close look at the Boston Terrier. (By the way, did you know that this breed is one of the few American made dog breeds?)

Are you starting to walk on furniture to avoid your tiny puppy’s pirahna teeth, it is time to put a stop to that nipping and biting behavior. Puppies naturally nip each other when they are playing, bite things as part of their exploration of their surroundings and bite to get your attention. If they are removed from their mother and siblings before they learn what is acceptable, their new owners are apt to have bloody toes or nip marks all over their hands and arms. How can you stop that puppy’s rotten behavior?
1. Firmly say “No” and replace your body with a chew toy. If your puppy continues to bite, place it in a crate until it calms down. Don’t act angry. Simply put your puppy away quietly.
2. Encourage the behaviors you want with praise. You may want to come up with a few words you repeat whenever one of these behaviors occurs, such as saying “kisses” when your puppy licks you.
3. Ignore your puppy if it starts to bite. Fold your arms and turn away. Don’t jump around and make a lot of noise. That will just wind your puppy up further.
4. If your puppy is persistant with nipping, try spritzing yourself with Bitter Apple or vinegar.
5. Avoid games that encourage nipping, such as tug of war.
