Boston Terrier Rescue

We rescued her from a 'puppy mill' (HORRIBLE PLACES- SHOULD BE OUTLAWED COMPLETELY)… Anyways, she will latch onto our pugs face and will NOT let go if she's in her 'mode' over dog food or a treat.

We've already tried- separating them at feedings, squirt bottle, yelling, and she doesn't respond.

Are we going to have to give her up to a rescue again or is this aggression towards other dogs at all breakable? She's an absolute sweetheart to people.

Do shock collars work? I hear they're not for aggression purposes.

This type of behavior can be managed, but never cured. If you're willing to put the time and discipline into establishing good solid basic training and a strict routine when both dogs are out together, and never leaving them together when you can't watch them 100%, then contact an experienced trainer to help you form a plan.

If your household is hectic, you have young children or other family members you can't count on to follow through with the routine, it's best to rehome the Boston.

Personally, I believe your Boston would do best in a one-dog home, and that your pug deserves to feel safe in your home, perhaps with another more compatible canine pal.

Any ideas if this is a curable thing? She'll attack him over a treat falling on the ground, a toy, or jealousy… She's a rescue from a puppy mill.

We're entering her into training, will this help? We're at the point where we can't get her around smaller dogs anywhere, including my in-laws.

Also, how do I break up a dog fight effectively IF they fight?

Did you tell the obedience instructor about her issue before you signed up? Most will not allow a dog with aggression issues to participate in a group class, they will require you to sign up for a private class instead. Having an aggressive dog in class ruins the positive nature of the class for the other dogs. At 8 months, you should be able to modify her behavior with some work and persistance. Depending on what specifically is triggering her, the approach will vary, so do have a beahviorist or trainer evaluate her and create a customized approach. Rather than worrying about breaking up a fight, keep them apart for now, and keep her leashed when they are in the same area, so you can easily move her away if she gets upset or even if they begin to fight. It is dangerous to reach into a fight or grab one of the dogs, you can get bit accidentally.

She looks just like a Boston Terrier but her tail, I just need to know if it is possible that they could have one.

Yes it would just be considered a fault

I was looking to adopt a Boston Terrier. I saw at a rescue online site, they charge a $300 adoption fee. Why so much?

It is not outrageous at all.

Rescues are "non profit", everything they do for those dogs depends on donations and the adoption fees.
The $300 fee will just barely cover the vet bills, food, water and shelter they provided for your new dog.

My husband and I recently rescued a female pitbull who we knew through relatives that were not taking care of her at all, she has had 2 litters already and is only a little over a year old. She is under weight and her nipples hang down to the floor and look very uncomfortable. We are debating on keeping her or trying to find her a home we are right now just fostering her. So anyway I have a few questions:
1. will her breasts ever go back to normal? (she had pups about 2 months ago and they are not with her)
2. Can she be trusted and ever get along with my other FEMALE boston terrier who is about 8 months old and very hyper! I just herad that female pitbulls are not good with other female dogs and one snap and my boston would be dead.
anyone have experience or suggestions? They met already and we take them on walks but am so afraid the pit will snap, she is VERY friendly with humans though.
Thanks in advance.
and no she did not fight and is a rather submissive dog.
Thanks again!

I don't see why not. As long as you monitor their play she will be fine. Just as soon as you see any signs of aggression from either dog, nip it right there. Cause any Terrier is gonna be feisty. But I have 2 rescued male pits and they play rough but that's how they play. I think that as long as she was not abused like beated or a previous fighting dog she should be fine.
