Boston Terrier Exercise Information:

The Boston Terrier has moderate exercise needs. He will relish a daily walk but you needn’t worry that your Boston Terrier will run you ragged. A 5 kilometre walk or a vigorous game of fetch will suffice. Inside, the Boston Terrier is more docile than rambunctious, and as he matures, so will his love of relaxation.

The Boston Terrier is a ball of muscle so he is faster on his feet than his refined stance might suggest. Be certain to keep you Boston Terrier on leash, even on short walks. He will enjoy leash-free dog parks as his temperament makes him an agreeable companion for man and beast alike.

Boston Terrier Grooming Needs:

Typically, grooming your Boston Terrier is an undemanding task. You will need to brush your terrier’s coat with a firm, non-wire brush. Wire brushes can scratch your Boston Terrier’s skin, so a natural brush is best. Baths should be taken when necessary and you should use a low fragrance shampoo. Be sure to rinse all shampoo residue from your pet to avoid skin irritation. Nails will need clipping and a professional groomer may make a prudent choice as their specialized equipment makes for a comfortable trim.

The key to keeping your Boston Terrier relaxed enough to allow the grooming is your tone and actions. You should reassure your terrier in a calm, low tone, and establish it as a relaxed and luxurious event. Your Boston Terrier may begin to enjoy and welcome these procedures.
