Hi, I was just wondering if there have been any updates with you boxer's condition. I searched the forum and found your topic...my boxer Winnie does the exact same thing. Seems as though she is doing something like a hiccup or like she is going to vomit, paces around the room, licks the floor...

Hi, I'm hoping someone can offer some advice. I have a 3 yr old boxer rescue. I've had her for one year. She is a very sweet and loving dog, but she has a problem with small children. Everytime I walk her and she sees a small child walking or even sitting she tries to lunge at them. I have to...

Hello, I adopted a 2 year old boxer girl (Winnie) about 6 months ago. One stipulation from the rescue that I adopted her from was that she needed a home free of children. The rescue did not have exact history to give me but said that she had shown aggression towards children while in the...

Hello folks, I've seen a few posting regarding natural remedies for anxiety such as Anxiety Relief by Veterinarian's Best and Rescue Remedy. Has anyone had success with anything like this? My boxer 2 yr old rescue still has a bit of separation anxiety after 4 months. I am working with a...

Hey folks! I've had my little boxer rescue Winnie for about 4 months now. Although she was very rambuncious when I first got her she has calmed down and adapted to her new home. One behavior that has become a bit annoying however is her constant need to lick my hands, face, pant legs, etc. And...

thanks for the replies. I don't beleive this is a woo woo song. she only does it when she sees strangers walk by the house or dogs walking by. She is full grown and almost 3 yrs old. Its seems like she tries to bark and it hard to get it out. She'll open her mouth wide and hold it open and the...

Hi! My boxer makes the strangest noise when she tries to bark. In fact she doesn't bark like normal dogs. It sounds more like a high pitched squeel. I've heard her bark only a handful of times, but when she gets excited or sees dogs playing she lets out an ear piercing "eeeaaaahhhhhhhh" that...

Hello, and thanks to those who replied to my last thread with their thoughts on clicker training. Yesterday I tried the first step of pairing the click sound with her favorite treat (cheese cubes). The problem is that she is terrified of the click noise! She knew I had the treats in one hand...

Hello Folks, Has anybody tried clicker training with their Boxer? -(with or without the help of a professional trainer). If so, was it a success? I'm trying to decide on the best method of "basic" obedience training my 2 year old and there seems to be so many options. Also, is it necessary...

Jessica, thanks for the crate training advice. I have tried to get Winnie comfortable with a crate, but she is simply terrified of it. I've lured her in a few times with toys and sat with her for some minutes, then left the room. She goes absolutely crazy. In fact I set up a video camera to...

Hello Tucker's Mom, Winnie & I live in Royal Oak. We have been going to a fenced in dog park off of Kensington Rd. in Ferndale (runs parallel to 696 service drive). I also take her to a dog park by Dondero High School in Royal Oak, (not fenced). Where exactly is Orion Bark Park? I'm always...

Hello from Michigan, I'm a new Boxer dad of a little 2 year old 48 pound rescue Boxer named Winnie, (see her cute picture in October gallery). I've had her for about a month and she is the best! The only problem is she has some separation anxiety when I leave for work in the morning, (not...
