Boxer Dog General Guideline
Boxers are family dogs. They love having people around.
Boxers are gentle with children. Boxers love to play and are always ready for a play particularly with kids.
Introduce the Boxer to the children early, as this will bond Boxer and child and stop jealousy. You will find the Boxer will be more protective towards that child.
Notably, Boxers are good-natured, accept friendly strangers and will calmly suffer the stabs of children.
Discipline your dog!
It's a matter of thinking and working a step ahead of your Boxer. Again, you should do it with love and firmness.
Moreover, a Boxer that is well behaved today may not remain so forever. Dog's behavior constantly changes; so make the discipline constant.
Train your dog!
A trained Boxer will listen and can safely be allowed freedom more than an untrained one.
It is important to know that a disciplined Boxer is more confident is a wonderful smart, soulful and people-oriented companion.
On the other hand, a poorly trained dog can be a loud and destructive irritation around the house, becoming more of a burden on you rather than bliss.
Just like human beings, they're best taught young! It's much easier to teach him not to pull on the leash when he's a small puppy than to try to educate him when he's too old for it.
Just like I did with my dog, begin the training some place that is familiar to your Boxer, where there is minimum distraction.
Hold on! Remember socialization is also an important part of the training because you don't want to end up with a very shy Boxer.
One of the most important qualities of Boxer dogs is their intelligence, and at the same time, their stubbornness.
When you understand the Boxer's intelligence/stubbornness, you'll be able to handle it well, and hence avoid problems while disciplining and training them.
Use their "play training" time as the Boxers' motivation while training them. You may research your local libraries for such training material.
Employ whatever it takes to train your dog in the most fun manner possible. Try to use proven tactics to make your Boxers listen to you more.
Try to always play the puppy's level so that when he grows up he doesn't get used to jump and initiate play. For instance, play games at their own (close to the ground) level.
I know these pieces of advice may sound tiresome and hectic to follow, but believe me, it's not only important to abide by the general guideline than to be sorry later on.
Happy training!
