Boston Terriers have a way of stealing hearts fast. With their expressive eyes, tuxedo coat, and big personalities packed into a small body, they’re one of the most entertaining and affectionate breeds you can own.
But what do Boston Terriers actually love the most?
It’s not always what people expect.
Here are the things Boston Terriers truly can’t get enough of—and a few might surprise you.
1. Being Close to You (Like… Really Close)
If you own a Boston Terrier, you already know this one.
They don’t just enjoy your company—they need it.
Whether you're on the couch, working at your desk, or even in the bathroom, your Boston Terrier wants to be right there with you. Personal space doesn’t exist in their world.
They’ll lean on you, sit on you, or wedge themselves into the smallest space beside you just to stay connected.

2. Attention (They Thrive on It)
Boston Terriers are natural attention-seekers.
They love:
- Being talked to
- Getting belly rubs
- Making you laugh
- Being the center of your world
Ignore them for too long, and they’ll find a way to remind you they exist—usually in a funny or slightly chaotic way.
3. Short Bursts of Crazy Energy
They’re not marathon runners, but they are sprinters.
Boston Terriers love sudden zoomies around the house, jumping on furniture, and doing quick bursts of play that seem to come out of nowhere.
One minute they’re calm…
The next they’re flying across the room like a rocket.
4. Comfortable Spots (They’re Heat Seekers)
Boston Terriers are obsessed with comfort.
You’ll often find them:
- Under blankets
- Wrapped in hoodies
- Sitting in the sun
- Curled up in the warmest spot in the house
They don’t handle cold weather well, so anything warm instantly becomes their favorite place.

5. Toys (But Only the Fun Ones)
Not all toys are equal in their eyes.
Boston Terriers tend to prefer:
- Squeaky toys
- Tug toys
- Anything they can chase
They get bored quickly, so rotating toys keeps things interesting and prevents them from turning your socks into entertainment.

6. Food (No Surprise Here)
Boston Terriers love food. A lot.
They’re highly food-motivated, which makes training easier—but also means you need to watch portions carefully.
They’ll act like they haven’t eaten in days… even if they just finished a full meal.
7. Making You Laugh
This might be the most surprising one.
Boston Terriers seem to enjoy being funny.
From weird sleeping positions to dramatic reactions and random bursts of energy, they constantly do things that make you laugh.
And the more you react, the more they do it.
8. Routine (They Like Knowing What’s Next)
Boston Terriers quickly learn your daily habits.
They love:
- Regular feeding times
- Scheduled walks
- Predictable routines
Once they know the schedule, they’ll remind you if you’re late.
9. Being Part of Everything
Boston Terriers don’t like being left out.
Whatever you’re doing—they want in.
Watching TV? They’re there.
Going for a ride? They’re ready.
Working at your computer? They’re supervising.
They’re not just pets—they see themselves as part of your life in every moment.
10. You (More Than Anything Else)
At the end of the day, the thing Boston Terriers love most… is you.
They form strong bonds with their owners and are incredibly loyal, affectionate, and emotionally connected.
That’s why so many owners say the same thing:
Once you have a Boston Terrier… no other dog compares.
