Training Exercises
April 72010
At the next level, your dog will learn to retrieve a dumbbell, both on a flat surface and over a jump, drop to the ground on your command and jump over an extended or broad jump, simulating a jump over something like a small lake or quicksand (how often have you wished you didn’t have to carry her over that patch of quicksand?). As for Boston Terrier house training the dog is also tested on whether she will stay in the sit for 3 minutes and down for 5 minutes while you are out of her sight. Traditional Bulldogs were first bred to bait bulls and engage in dogfights. Early breeders tried to breed out any aggressive tendencies to make the Boston Terrier a companion dog.
