Lol! I must have a defective Boxer like Cami too! lol Bentley ALWAYS barks if he is in his crate, however, i think its purely due to the fact that he wants out, sees mommy (WHAT a mommas boy! lol) & cant get to her, if im busy doing something, where i need all MY focus lol Otherwise, just...

Ive already written some posts here & gotten great advice, which has helps me to identify some things we need to brush back up on again or identify in regards to training our dogs again. My Boxer, Bentley, is 5 yrs. old & had been initially clicker trained. I guess my hubby & i took for...

What about the Mush Face? Im really glad you posted this! I also live on the East Coast & every year have the SAME issue! Especially with having 5 dogs, they all get so darned stir crazy & feed off each other! (And mommy & daddy! lol) One huge reason why i never really took them for walks in...

Hope this helps! I certainly hope this helps you! Ive also found its been VERY difficult to get our Boxers to come to us when very distracted & i believe the above poster has some AMAZING advice! Another thing my husband & i had learned was the "watch me command", which helps them to focus...

I already have another post up about my 5 year old Brindle Boxer, Bentley. He's the epitome of stubborn Boxers at their finest! Lol! nonoicon My Husband & I use hand signals in conjunction with the commands we give. While our other four dogs will (typically) obey the commands, Bentley does...

Thanks! Thank you for taking the time to get back to me so quickly & with some great insight! ;) Yes, i was referring to NILIF, & we are keeping that up! ;) I believe you are right also about the spray bottle. We had figured it was a non aggressive & much more humane way than many methods...

Hi, im new to this forum & so far ive seen amazing advice given by the community & im hoping someone can give me some insight until we can scrounge to afford a behaviourist to come to the home! This is long, i apologize in advance! We have 5 dogs, 2 Male Boxers (Bentley & Royce, both 5...

Hello! My Husband & I are two VERY proud parents of 2 WONDERFUL Boxer boys, Bentley & Royce! (We honestly did not realize they were both named after British cars until 3 months after we named them!) Bentley is a gorgeous Brindle Boxer who is now 5 years old; & Royce is a gorgeous White Boxer...
