Despite being originally bred as a fighting dog, Boston Terriers today can have a gentle and well mannered temperament, however they can be a little tricky to potty train in the beginning. They're known to be full of energy and difficult to control but often they seem to have a playful sense of humor.

Boston Terriers, if properly socialized, enjoy being around people, other dogs, and on occassions cats. The personality of a Boston varies somewhat between individual dogs with some being particularly affectionate and others more independent. Some Boston Terriers have an excitable or dominant temperament that requires special training and handling by the owner.
