Moderate training difficulty — general orientation

Boston Terriers are bright and eager to please, which helps housetraining — but a smallish bladder and a dislike of cold or wet weather can slow things. A steady routine and a sheltered potty spot keep progress on track.

When to expect reliability: Most reliable by 4–6 months. Individual dogs vary — consult your veterinarian.
