Being consistent after starting to train your boxer is imperative at a young age (6-8 weeks at the latest). Everyday that goes by without proper attention, exercise and short training sessions (daily habits) causes your stress levels to rise and will create a tougher task in the future when you do get fed up and decide to train your boxer. The easiest way to approach a good relationship between you and your boxer is through consistent, positive reinforcement and affection. Best, Jeremy Great article!

We are about to be proud owners of not 1 but 2 boxers about 4 months old. We have our work cut out for us. Like you I hate the idea of leaving them alone all day but how can I make this work? I live close enough to work that I can go home for an hour everyday...I have thought about kennel training them but I don't know what the pro & con's are to doing that. We live on 23 acres so the will get plenty of excercise it's just the hours alone I worry about. We are a busy family of 6, kids are at school and both my husband & I work full time.

She is mostly fine with this, though can be slightly distructive but this isn't a major problem. When I get home she LOVES to be the centre of attention and loves to get playing with other dogs, though doesn't want another one in 'our' house! I'd thought of getting her company but she wont tolerate it!! They are energetic and loving dogs, a bit wired at times but great companions. Enjoy your dog, it will be your best friend!

The best thing to do is look at them in the syes and say "No bities!" and say it in a blunt clear tone! They understand after a few times! They are just teething really bad so keep up the chew treats and if they start biting your heels or legs distract them immediately with a toy, better use a sideward motion with your hand and arm and say "NO" It will be worth it in the end! I have a 4 year old black labrador who is helping out so much thank goodness for her help!

There is nothing wrong with her. Boxers require a lot of love and companionship. We have a one year old boxer, and it's a good thing I work from home, because he gets into mischief when left alone, even though we have two other dogs keeping him company. It's sad that he has to be alone all day. Lisa, the Boxer can’t be alone all day – that is why he is destructive! There is nothing wrong with her.
