I use the "Petrainer 100% Waterproof and Rechargeable Dog Shock Collar 330 yd Remote Dog Training Collar with Beep/Vibrating/Shock Electric E-collar" from Amazon.

They have worked great - you can do tone / vibrate / e-stim (both are adjustable in strength). My dogs (2 x Great Danes) are so used to them now they run over 3 acres and a tap of the vibrate sends them running directly to me or home.

Only time I need to juice them is if they get the scent of something from the woods and decide to make a break for it or they get into it with each other. Either way it only take a slight tap for a shock and it's over.

ETA - they are rechargeable and come with 2 units and 1 controller. I only use them outside now but did use one on the younger dane inside for a couple of months. The charge lasts a good week if you aren't using it all the time - but even if you are it should easily last a couple of days.

My only concern would be the size of the unit if you have a really small Boston (it's about 1"x1"x2"). I had a 35# beefy Boston that it would have worked great on, but if you have the tiny sized one you might need to look into a smaller collar (not sure what those might be).
