Barking Obedience

Are boston terriers good first time dogs?

I need a dog thats small, smart, cute, and hyper, but doesnt need hours of exercise and isnt destructive (chewing/tearing/ barking).
would you say they are easy to potty train and with obedience?

what are all the pros and cons about them?
and any tips on the first dog?

Anyone else?
ALso, should i get a male or female?
is there any big difference (personality wise) between the two?
I did the dog breed info search and the boston terrier was the fifth breed it listed.

These are some of the breed highlights of Boston Terrier:

* Short-nosed dogs like Boston Terriers can’t cool the air going into their lungs as efficiently as longer-nosed breeds, and they’re much more susceptible to heat stress.

* Because Boston Terriers can have respiratory problems, avoid pulling on your dog’s collar to get him to go what you want.

* Prone to corneal ulcers because his eyes are so large and prominent. Be careful about his eyes when you’re playing or taking him for a walk.

* Depending in part upon their diets, Boston Terriers can be prone to flatulence. If you can’t tolerate a gassy dog, a Boston Terrier may not be for you.

* Because of their short noses, Boston Terriers often snort, drool, and snore (sometimes loudly).

* While Boston Terriers typically are quiet, gentle dogs, not prone to yappiness or aggression, males can be scrappy around other dogs that they feel are invading their territory.

* Boston Terriers can be gluttonous about their food, so monitor their condition and make sure they don’t become overweight.

* They can be stubborn, so persistence and consistency are definite pluses in training methods. They are sensitive to your tone of voice, and punishment can make them shut down, so training should be low-key and motivational. Crate-training is recommended while housetraining your Boston Terrier.

Obedience $9.99 Set in contemporary and World War II France, this is the story of Sister Bernard: her forbidden love, her uncertain faith, and her guilt- ridden past. A once -bustling convent in the South of France is closing, leaving behind three elderly nuns. Forced, for the first time, to confront the community that she betrayed decades ago, Sister Bernard relives her life during the war. At thirty, Sister Bernard can hear the voice of God-strident, furious, and personal. When a young Nazi soldier, a member of the German occupying forces, asks her to meet him in the church in secret one evening, she agrees. And so begins the horrifying and passionate love affair that will deafen the heavens and define her life, tempting her into duplicity. Obedience is a powerful exploration of one woman’s struggle to reconcile her aching need to be loved with her fear of God’s wrath.

The Blessings of Obedience $5.97 “Obedience is not the most popular word in our vocabulary. We live in a society that is constantly battling the system, fighting for what we want. We’re primarily concerned with how the rules inconvenience us, and we’re looking to see what we can get away with. Obedience is much more than following rules; it’s a state of the heart. Andrew Murray explores the love behind God’s demands and the grace that makes it possible for us to obey. The blessing of complete obedience is your intimate connection with a loving, protective heavenly Father who desires more than anything to give you a rich and fulfilling life. Discover how obedience to God’s plan will put you in the center of His will”

The Obedience Factor $13.95 “When everything around us is changing constantly, there is one unchangeable, beautiful thing?God’s Word. If we listen to that Word and commit to obey its urgings, life can take on new purpose and deep spiritual satisfaction can be gained. Obedience should not be entered into lightly, however. True obedience in this day and age may cost you, but how sweet the rewards. The Obedience Factor is a conversational teaching book which presents, in part, examples of author Carol Brown’s ongoing journey toward learning the benefits of swift obedience to the Lord and the things to which He calls us. More importantly, the book is one containing revelatory insights about obedience that even surprised the author as they spilled out on paper. If a person is looking for better understanding as to why they should not waste time teetering on the brink of ?Should I or shouldn?t I?? when it comes to stepping into what they believe the Lord is speaking to their heart, The Obedience Factor will fit quite comfortably in their hands. It is the author’s earnest hope that after reading this book people will listen more closely to and become increasingly more at ease with the voice of the Holy Spirit and promptly obey Him.”

Rally Obedience $119.48 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Rally obedience (also known as Rally or RallyO) is a dog sport based on obedience. It was originally devised by Charles L. Bud Kramer from the obedience practice of doodling doing a variety of interesting warmup and freestyle exercises. Unlike regular obedience, instead of waiting for the judges orders, the competitors proceed around a course of designated stations with the dog in heel position. The course consists of 10 to 20 signs that instruct the team what to do. Unlike traditional obedience, handlers are allowed to encourage their dogs during the course. There are currently four sanctioning bodies for RallyO in the United States: the American Kennel Club (AKC); the Association of Pet Dog Trainers (APDT); and the newly formed Canine Work and Games (CWags). The United Kennel Club (UKC) added rally obedience to their program as of January 2009. Author: Surhone, Lambert M./ Tennoe, Mariam T./ Henssonow, Susan F.

Obedience Training $78.07 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Obedience training usually refers to the training of a dog and the term is most commonly used in that context. Obedience training ranges from very basic training, such as teaching the dog to reliably respond to basic commands such as sit, down, come, and stay, to high level competition within clubs such as the American Kennel Club and the Canadian Kennel Club, where additional commands, accuracy and performance are scored and judged. Obedience implies compliance with the direction or command given by the handler. For a dog to be considered obedient rather than simply trained in obedience, it must respond reliably each time the command is given, by what is commonly known as its handler.
