#10 – Being Told No When They Are Begging
My Bella hates it when I tell her no at the dinner table. For some reason, Bella has started whining when we eat because of my one-year-old son.
I think it is because he throws food down on the floor from time to time as a one-year-old should, lol.
#9 – Going Anywhere Without Them
Bella is better at allowing us to leave now than when she was younger, but she used to block the door if she thought we were going somewhere when she was younger.
#8 – Storm Drains
Bella was afraid of storm drains for a while. If she saw one, she would get as far away as possible.
However, we started training her to get closer and closer to it over time, and now she is okay with being around storm drains.
How did we train her? Start on the backside of the drain in the grass and walk your Boston closer and closer to the drain. I didn’t measure how long it took to train her, but I think it took weeks, maybe even a few months, to get her used to storm drains.
#7 – Clipping Their Nails
We trained Bella to be calm while clipping her nails with the bribery of dog treats. Now we can NOT clip her nails without a treat (She is one smart dog lol).
#6 – Doorbell
Knocking on the door, in general will cause Bella to go crazy. It is one of only two times she barks. The other time she barks is at us if she wants something.
#5 – Baths
For Bella, baths are okay. She does not fight us to get into the bath. Bella might not look happy when getting one, but at least she doesn’t have a fit when she is in the tub.
#4 – Snow
Snow is Bella’s arch-enemy! (No photo for this one, Bella does not like to be see in the snow)
#3 – Vacuum
Once again, Bella is fine with vacuums as well. However, other Boston Terrier owners have mentioned their Boston hating vacuum time.
#2 – The Cold
Yes, yes, Bella would really like it if we moved to Hawaii because she does not like the cold.
While I do see many photos on Instagram of Boston’s playing in the snow Bella and a majority of other Boston parents say their pooch does not enjoy the cold.
#1 – Rain
And coming in and number one as the thing Boston Terriers hate the most is the rain. Bella, unless she is swimming in the lake, DOES NOT like to get wet.
Bella would much rather just pee inside than go out in the rain…seriously, it has happened…like many times…too many times lol.
