I want to get a boston terrier and the problem is i have to go to school. how long can you leave a boston terrier home?
It depends on the age of the dog. A young puppy will need to go out to pee every hour or two. Once the puppy is a few months old (4-5), it will be able to hold it for longer as you train it and it gets better at holding it.
My boston terrier is now over a year old, and I can leave him home for up to 8 hours. A little longer when absolutely necessary, but I wouldn’t want to do that on a regular basis, and I always make sure to give him enough attention and exercise afterward.
I’m for crating your dog when you aren’t home for its own safety. My boston sleeps most of the day even when we’re home, so he’s not bothered by being in the crate. When I get home, he blinks up at me sleepily and then is ready to play when he’s let out.
If you have a schedule that won’t allow you to be home enough to handle a puppy (which is a lot of work, even if you get an ‘easy’ puppy) I recommend adopting an adult boston. They are awesome and hilarious dogs, and stay goofy and ridiculous for pretty much their entire life.

You can leave a Boston Terrier at home as long as you want too. Now what will happen to the house or the dog if you leave him there is really anybodies guess? Whether it is 1 hour or 47 days…..anything can happen?
