Most all dogs can be trained but it takes perserverence. Bostons are bred to be friendly dogs, so it looks like you got a great Boston. You can find so much about training in books at the pet shop and in the library and even online. Here is a websites: http://www.cesarsway.com/ just look around there and you will find a lot of information. Also...this website (Bostonterrierhub) has training tips too. With a Boston Terrier, I have found that they LOVE to have fun, so they don't always listen. Try treats. They have a hypnotic effect on the Boston. But make sure they are healthy treats! :)
