I have done some research and trained my Boxer the basic commands: Sit, Down, Stay, Come AND a couple of others like: Take it, Defend/Speak AND we are working on Dance and Beg just for the fun of it. I know these last two aren't really functional but she is a very eager learner and continues to...

Agility Yes!!! Yes!!! Yes!!! Do it for the fun of it!!! That is the best reason of all!!! I have a boxer-mix and we just finished our first agility class!! She and I both absolutely love it. My trainer told me that my boxer-mix looks so much like a real boxer I could probably get an ILP...
