See this little stinker?
This is Howie.
Howie has a few tricks he’d like to show you.
Play dead, Howie!
Very convincing. Now can you beg?
Uh-huh. Now howsa ’bout you toss some treats into my big ‘mouf?
Let’s do a few more tricks, then I’ll give you that treat, Howser. Show me how you can shake!
Done. How about those treats?
I know you’re gonna give me some treats, right?
I don’t think she’s gonna give me any treats.
Just a few more tricks! Gimme Five!
Good job, buddy!
Oh yeah, I see treats in my future now, I can smell ’em!
Mama. Come on. Give up the good stuff.
You’re almost there! Roll over!
Okay how ’bout now?
Okay bud! Here’s those treats!
Now Mama this just ain’t right. What do you mean, “Leave It“? You mean I gotta sit here and look at ’em and smell ’em and I can’t eat ’em??!
Okay Howie, you’re right. That was mean, wasn’t it?
Take it!
Yes!
Snarf.
Take a bow, Howie!
Thanks for watching! :)
nice photo narration…. :-)
i love it..
Howie is so handsome!!
Howie, great job! (love the play position pose). My little boston does that very same thing. So cute.
Such a cutie! I have a question, how did you teach Howie to beg? We’ve been working with Murphy (he’s an ACD), but I think he’s struggling with balancing himself. Any tips? Thanks!
PS Great blog!
What΄s another comment from me? You get so many, anyways. I just want to say that I enjoy reading your posts and that they have helped me a lot. Thank you and I wish you have a good life.
Your dogs are just the cutest things!!! It really does make me smile when I read these posts!!!
Awww! How cute! Howie is so adorable.
I want you to come take pictures of my dog! These are soooo adorable
Thanks for sharing! Howie is tooo adorable for words:)
Love. I got a big kick out of the fact that you also have two different commands for which paw Howie gives you. My mom taught Zoe, our border collie, that “Shake” is her right paw, “High Five” is her left {opposite of the way Howie’s got it down}. Zoe also “Roll”s to the right, “Butter” {the complement to Roll, right? *grins*} to the left.
I love this post. Every time there’s a doggy post, I get so excited. Thanks for sharing!

Wow… adorable!
I love him!!!!!!!! He’s so cute. What a good boy!
This was just too darn cute! LOVED it! Our Boss just had surgery on the 25th. I blogged about it with a layout.
Howie loves the camera and the camera loves him! He’s such a cute boy!
Wow!! How cute, I love Howie, give him a BIG hug from me :) My jack russel terrier Milo is just like Howie!!
Cute, adorable, sweet and soooo obedient…awww!!
That was AWESOME! And thank you for being so generous with your knowledge and skills in photography. Very cool stuff :)
I LOVE Howie!! This post totally made my day – thank you for sharing!
I just love Howie’s tricks! I wish my 2 Boston’s were as well trained. Aren’t they the most entertaining dogs? We love them!!!
Truly, too cute!!
Howie rocks! You have a smart little dog!
Is there anything you can’t do!!!! :)
Adorable, I loved this post!!
Howie is quite obedient! My little guys can’t resist a treat that’s right in front of their faces.
I love your dog pics! So entertaining!
Toooo cute. Hugs, Becky
Too cute! My Airedale Jackson can do the “high five”, that is about all!
SO cute!
Those are some super cute pics!! Loved looking at them! Cute dog, btw! :)
Too darn cute! I love his expressions and those eyes! I’d have given him treats even before he started his tricks!
What a CUTIE PIE!!! I love Bostons and he is adorable! Love the tricks!
Awwwww…..that was just too cute….Howie is adorable….and smart ;)
OMG!! So adorable! Thank you for sharing. BTW, I love your photo tutorials and have learned so much.
Precious precious precious
thanks
He is so cute! Love his different looks he give you! Thanks for sharing!
Howie is quite a guy! I love Bostons it’s thier smile that gets me everytime. My Godparents had a Boston named Butch when we were growing up.. I adored that dog he was the most clever thing! ( just like your Howie) Thanks for sharing your fur babies. I love your blog!

That was the cutest blog!!! How well trained is he?! My Boston, Pepsi, has me trained to get her a treat every day! Great pictures, and thank you so much for sharing. This truly made my day!!
He is adorable! I love looking at all the photos of your Bostons. They are the best! Our Jake will be 13 in April. Thanks for sharing!
I <3 Howie.
Howie is seriously too cute! Other than mine, he is the cutest Boston around (and Miley of course comes in 3rd).
fabulous pics and what a handsome guy!
Such a good Howie! I use the “leave it’ trick on mine too. It’s so fun to watch them patiently waiting to eat their reward! Great pics as usual!
Great pics – Do you have any tips for catching him mid trick? Our dog does some great tricks, but it’s hard to catch her doing them in a single frame.
Absolutely adorable!!! Good boy!!!
omg, he is sooo cute and well trained/loved!
That was amazing! I wish my French Bulldog, Ottis would let me take his pictures!! This made my day!
absolutely adoreable!
Howie has some mad skills there! good job!!
He is so cute. We have a female Izzy who just turned two on New Years Eve. She is awesome. May I ask what you feed your two they look great.
Hey Becky,
Miley and Howie are fed Innova EVO Small Bites. It’s in a yellow bag with a BT on the front.
ADORABLE! And so well behaved!
Absolutely adorable! The pic I like best is ‘I don’t think she’s gonna give me any treats.’ So cute!
Check out this link on you tube. Ultimate dog tease – cute!
So super cute! he is a very handsome lil man.
That is just so precious. Loved it…you’re a doll Howie. I need to know how to teach the Leave It one. Our’s is just learning tricks and has sit and shake so far and we’re working on the rest. Great post of a story with pictures.
Such cute photos. It certainly doesn’t hurt that your subject is a knock-out!
He is such a gorgeous pup! btw. “Leave it” should be the one trick that every dog owner should know. It has saved my puppies from eating harmful things. I love “Leave it!”.

Love these!
Thanks for the smile this morning. My black lab used to do all kinds of tricks now I wish I would have captured them darn it. She is almost 14 now and because of arthritis she can’t do them any more.
What a cutie! Love the tricks, and the face in those pictures. Small dogs rock!
He’s such a good boy! Great series of photos – the camera loves him.
Oh my gosh, what a cutie!!! and so smart!!! I wish I could get my doxie to do some of that!!! So adorable! Where’s Miley? :)
Love this post!! Howie is such a good boy!
I wondered when we would get an update. Such sweetness. Love the faces thanks
Howie is so darn cute. Thanks for sharing – it put a big smile on my face to start my day today.
Adorbs!!!!
OMG, you totally make me want to have another Boston Terrier!! Mine was a wreck of a separation anxiety mess and my husband is scared of getting another one, but I am definitely warming up after seeing your little angels!! I should forward my husband this post – “See honey, they make them in *non-crazy* flavors too!!” =)
He is precious!
Such a cutie!! :) Good boy, Howie!!
