Hey, thank you so much for watching. I want your feedback what do you think about the new Boston Terrier Gift shop I created? bit.ly/BostonTerrierSocietyGiftShop if you like any items here is a 10% Discount Code - BOS10
Our BT loves bath time. In our case, ‘Shower Time.’ We’ve got a hand held shower nozzle. After giving our BT a shower my wife wraps her up in a towel & cuddles her. She goes NUTS with affection. She knows she’s Queen of our house! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Your videos and website have been super helpful!! I am a new Boston Terrier mom of two adorable female pups (litter mates). Thank you for being so helpful!
What a lovely Boston you have. Bella is so patient. My Boston Terrier, Maggie lived for 14 years. I happy to know that we can give a bath to a Boston once every three weeks. Maggie had very dry skin. Too much sun in the summer. I used oatmeal shampoo and that would help with the dry skin situation. Love watching Bella.
I have been feeling so overwhelmed as I prepare to have my BT home next month….your videos have been SO SO HELPFUL! You literally have a video for everything. And I especially love that you alway have useful links in the description box. Idk what I would have done if I hadn’t found your channel
Great assistant you have there, congrats!! lol! I have the same setup when giving Bruce a bath, the only difference is that even though he is quiet all the time and doesn't try to get out, he shivers a lot! I don't know if it is because of the noise the water makes or because he doesn't like to bath, the poor guying is always shaking.
Bella is such a sweetheart in the bath and an angel when you cut her nails!!! My Dolly doesn’t really like taking a bath ( she disappears when she sees me preparing for it ) but she s nice and stands still once in it. My big problem is her nails! She doesn t let me cut them !she absolutely hates it ! I hve to go to the vet for that ! I bathe her every three or four weeks. But I’m not sure how often I should hve her nails cut ...(?) Again thank you very much for your interesting videos.
4:36 The way she's look at you and stare on camera while you hold her so adorable, definitely she's a Daddy's little girl, makes me really want a Boston Terrier 🥰 unfortunately hard to find this kind of breed in here, greetings from Bali!
Thanks I’ve been trying to find a video that showed how to give a Boston terrier a bath because I’m trying to someway get a Boston terrier ( but the chances of that actually happening are pretty small :(
My Boston terrier is scared of water due to past experiences and every time I try to bath him, he just starts moving everywhere, crying, whining, but now that he is a few months older, he always wants to take a bath.
Yes, but I think you would be ok if you dry them off right after they get out of the beach. We have taken Bella to the lake a number of times with no issues.
Donnie, we're bringing home our boston terrier pup in 2 weeks. Would giving her a bath weekly for a little while help her accept bathtime handling better for when she's older?
Donnie - great video. Was Bella always this easy to groom? My 11 week old, Brandy, has had one bath. She didn’t like it and she gets antsy when I try to do her nails. I’m wondering if you and your wife had any tricks to get a puppy to feel calm, like Bella is, when they get bathed, etc.
Bella has always been tense in the bath. Some tricks would be a couple of things. For the bath You could fill the bath before putting your Brandy in. This way the loud noise of running water won’t be there. Also, I never did this with Bella but it sounds like a good idea lol you could start putting Brandy in the bath with no water or anything. Just once a day for a while this way she gets an understanding of what the bath feels like and maybe won’t be afraid of it when it comes to bath time. Just an idea.
As for nail clipping. We do it right after bath and I have Bella wrapped in a towel like a baby. I think this really helps in calming her. And we ALWAYS give her a treat right after clipping her nails so I think at this point she knows the sooner the nail clipping is over she gets a treat.
The sink might work. At least the water will come out a little slower and will not be as loud as in the bathroom. If you haven't already try using a cup to pour over your dog. Another trick would be to have a hose in the shower you can spray on them. Try this if they are afraid of the bath tub in general. 1. place your dog in the tub just to get to know it. Do this a couple of times and do not give a bath. 2. The next day place them in the bath again to give them a bath. Doing this will allow your dog to get used to the bathroom and the tub. I have never personally done this with Bella, but I think the familiarization may help your Boston.
It is a mixed bag. I have heard some owners needing to do that. Bella has been fine in the bath even if her face doesn't say it lol. But I think a peanut butter wall is a genius idea.
@@BostonTerrierSociety thankyou! i have been looking for a good emotional support dog for a while and i feel that a small dog who likes to cuddle would be best. mom wants me to get all the info i can before she lets me get a Boston terrier! thanks to your videos and help through comments she said yes! now we just have to wait for the right time to bring our new loveable fur ball home
Hi! Nice video, but I would love to see how short you're cutting her nails. I have a girl Boston terrier and she is an 11 years old, I love her as my child. I did always bath myself, but cutting nails I use to take to grooming place. I notice it is was to much stress for her , so I decided to do myself. Most of her nails are black and it is hard to see how long to trim. I got clippers ,but not happy with them either . Plus she doesn't like this procedure. So am I:( Thank you:)
The black nails are hard to see where the quick is, we accidentally cut one too short and she cried and it bled. After that when you grabbed that paw she jerked it away and shivered. If you get one that bleeds use a wet styptic stick.
I always just take my dog in the shower with me, scrub her up, rinse her off reallyyyyy well, and dry her up by swaddling her like a baby, and then let her go, wash myself, and then give her a treat when I get out.
@@watchmanexpert Sorry Tony...I didn't see this response message. As for puppies, it says it is safe for dogs of all ages but Emily and I personally didn't use it when Bella was a puppy. Based on the reviews I have seen online it looks like people have used it for their puppies and it worked well.
Bostons have very dry skin and shouldn't be bathed more than every month in summer and two months in winter. Hair can be removed with a daily brushing.
@ASCALON Burt's Bees dog shampoo is the least expensive and it's good. There are a number of other hydrating shampoos. I've used a couple of oatmeal shampoos that I didn't like. Conditioner is important--Warren London Hydrating Leave-In Conditioner is good. I've had Bostons for about 20 years; you've got to keep them hydrated. :) best wishes
@ASCALON They're quite expensive here as well, and probably equivalent at $2--3K and up. Is there a Boston Terrier rescue in the UK? I got my present BT from there and they're very good to work with. The price was around $400, and it felt like adopting a child with a home search and references from friends, family, and vets. I even had to say what would happen if I died during his lifetime. It's a good thing when breeders/rescues are careful. My question for your breeder would be about his bloodlines--are his puppies inbred? How can he sell them so inexpensively? My daughter's discount Boston has terrible genes and began aging at 8 years old, even though her markings, tail, pedigree, and facial structure indicate one of the oldest and best bloodlines--too much of it, I guess. Brindle is considered by the AKC to be within the guidelines. I think the brindles are quite attractive. My present BT is a so-called "Boston Terrier of Color." He's a beautiful red shade and has light brown eyes, but is discriminated against by the AKC who won't allow admission. Not that I care!! He's gorgeous! Best wishes with Pip, and, if you think of it, please update me when he arrives. I'm excited for you. Best wishes.
@ASCALON I'm sorry to hear that you never heard from the rescue. Perhaps they didn't have any available dogs. The lilac BTs are very pretty, but pretty hard to find, I hear. Good luck on your long drive! But Pip and lunch will be waiting for you!! Sincerest best wishes!!! (Can't wait to see his pic!)
@ASCALONThese things can go on Facebook pretty easily. You have to save them to your computer first, though. I have faith in your daughter!! Best wishes with Pip. Looking forward . . .

I love my Boston and you make wonderful videos. Thanks.
Laura Faust thank you so much! I appreciate the support.

0:43 Oh Sophia’s got jokes!
Does Bella have allergies?
If so, how to you treat them? Meds, natural remedies etc?

Pedro Recarey lol thanks! Yes, not sure 🤔 about the shivering 🥶 either Bella is the same way even though I make it as warm possible.
Yes your daughter is so cute. I used to paint my Boston's toenails with nail polish. She looked so cute.
Thanks! Sofia would love to paint 🎨 Bella’s toe nails.
@@BostonTerrierSociety l bet she looks real cute. Stay safe. Blessings.💜💜💜💜💜💜🎂🎂🎂💜💜💜💜💜💜🎂🎂🎂💜💜💜💜💜💜🎂🎂🎂💜💜💜💜💜💜🎂🎂🎂💜💜💜💜💜💜💜🎂🎂🎂💜💜💜💜💜💜🎂🎂🎂💜💜💜💜💜

I clip Bella's nails when I give her a bath every 4 weeks.
Aw your daughter is sooo cute!

TOOOO CUTE

How do you wash your head? Do you use a damp towel?
You should do video on how to keep a Boston cool during the summer
Great idea! Thanks
Yes plse! I live in a very hot country!
what happens when i take my boston to the beach tho? Wont the water get into the years of the boston terrier?
Yes, but I think you would be ok if you dry them off right after they get out of the beach. We have taken Bella to the lake a number of times with no issues.
Donnie, we're bringing home our boston terrier pup in 2 weeks. Would giving her a bath weekly for a little while help her accept bathtime handling better for when she's older?
Great video. What about their face, ears, wrinkles, etc. How do you clean them?
We simply wipe Bella down with a warm wash clothe
Bella sits quietly while you clipped her nails.now I know how to clipped a dog's nails especially a French bull dog's
👍

do Boston terriers tolerate baths? or do you have to bribe them with a peanut butter wall pad?
It is a mixed bag. I have heard some owners needing to do that. Bella has been fine in the bath even if her face doesn't say it lol. But I think a peanut butter wall is a genius idea.

Would you do the exact same procedure for a Boston Terrier puppy?
Yep
Except for the first nail, the subsequent clippings weren’t in the video. For us novices it would have been nice to see a close up on each cut.
Would Johnson’s baby shampoo harm my Boston if I used it?
I'm not sure about that question. My guess would be no, but I would ask your vet.
@@BostonTerrierSociety Ok, thanks!
Hi!
Nice video, but I would love to see how short you're cutting her nails.

The black nails are hard to see where the quick is, we accidentally cut one too short and she cried and it bled. After that when you grabbed that paw she jerked it away and shivered. If you get one that bleeds use a wet styptic stick.
Daughter was so cute helping.
But I scringed watching the water run the entire time. Water is so precious to waste.
Thank you...yeah sorry about that I didn't plan out this video perfectly. I'm not normally one to have water run like that.
I always just take my dog in the shower with me, scrub her up, rinse her off reallyyyyy well, and dry her up by swaddling her like a baby, and then let her go, wash myself, and then give her a treat when I get out.
😊
Which shampoo u used ?
