Dawn: Given the age of your pup-you,are exactly where we were 1 year ago! I strongly advise you do something now to stop this behavior before the puppy is convinced that your child is an equal. We adore our Blake but he was taught from the beginning that he is low man on the totum pole...

I've been told that changes in eye sight and hearing can cause personality issues - full moon may have contributed to shadows. How old is your boxer? I agree with the suggestion to have the vet check it out if this continues.

When we experienced this phase with our puppy we also had to consider the safety of our toddlers - then 3 & 4 - one thing that has worked for us is that my husband takes the lead with discipline/behavior modification finding what works and then training the rest of the family to deal effectively...

Blake - 15mo.brindle/male lots of tail chasing - my husband says he has just figured out that his is missing! Slaps you with his paw when he wants attention - WOO WOO's on command for playtime and lays on his back gnawing at thin air - kicking and growling!! What a nut!!

I'm surprised by how vicious our 15mo. old male/brindle/Blake - sounds when playing with our 14 year old son but they play - no rules - and Blake has flattened him on more than one occassion but once Tyler says NO or OFF or CHILL - Blake is all kisses and wiggles. I would be very concerned with...

I always love hearing others realize how loving and intuitive boxers are with children. It's been over a year since I visited this website "begging" for a boxer puppy to adopt - Greater Ohio Boxer Rescue came through for us and we got our doll baby Blake (brindle male) 1 year ago this past...

Thanks for the information, I spoke to Rachel last night on the phone and will be sending an application to your group today. We are very hopeful and after speaking with Rachel and Eilleen in Indianapolis, I very confident we will find a wonderful pet to bring into our family.

Robin - just want to let you know that I loved the story about Cooper. My husband and I just decided - today - to look into adopting a boxer. Our beloved Abi (brindle female) went to live with "uncle John" a few years back while we moved a few times and waited for our human pups to get old...

Big, loving family ready to provide fun, happy home for full boxer pup/or very young. We have two small children and believe boxers are the BEST dogs with kids but want to get one young enough to "adjust" without any obvious aggression issues. Ready anytime-can travel.(lots more to the story but...
