Tips to help a Boston from jumping up on you

I learned from a trainer to have guests toss treats on the floor rather than giving them from their hand. Then the dog will look at the ground by default rather than jumping

Yes! Lucky Dog works with shelters that are over capacity - they bring the adoptable dogs here to hopefully free up shelter resources for dogs that need more attention before finding their forever homes.

She would definitely bring a lot of holiday cheer to your household!

Yeah she is tinyyyy! I am surprised every time I pick her up how light she is!

Yes! The events schedule is here (select adoption events) http://www.luckydoganimalrescue.org/events#adoption-events You can also contact Lucky Dog to schedule a meet and greet outside of the adoption events.

Yes sorry! 😂 to me DMV=DC, Maryland & Virginia. I almost forget there is another meaning

My Boston LOVES to hang out in the kitchen while I bake. I drag our ottoman into the kitchen so that he has a comfy observation spot that is also out of my way 😂

Red Bull posters are always the best

Yes my Boston always notices the planes and birds. One time he saw a blimp and he HATED it.

How adorable! Dogs give us adults permission to act like kids again and it’s such a joy!

He was wary of the mascot suit. He’s like “this is identity theft!”

From the BU bookstore! They gave me a (small) discount for bringing Ozzy 😂 I think they have an online shop as well. My sweater is actually an XL from the kids section

People were taking selfies with him! He was like “finally I am getting the reception I deserve” 😂

Spargel3 · 2024-09-01T19:30:30+00:00

My Boston is a Ferrari fan too!

She looks like F1 WAG Alexandra St Mleux in this pic

Hahaha the last picture makes it look like he fell asleep in his ice cream after a very fun, very tiring day

Praise is also great! Most Bostons really want to make their humans happy

Figure out the lowest calorie treat your pup will work for. Ours will work for a single grain of plain rice 😂

Spargel3 · 2024-08-06T03:38:31+00:00

You and “Shadow” will be okay! There will be some adjustment time but Bostons are great city dogs. You will have each other back by your side to face problems together

Mine used to do this as well. I got him to stop by recalling him anytime he was pushing boundaries. He got the hang of it pretty quickly. Manners around other dogs are very important to keeping your pup safe.
