Victoria Stilwell Not sure if you guys would disagree with this, but Victoria Stilwell used a method where every time you walk your dog and theres another dog in eyesight you get your dogs attention with a treat. you then hold her attention for a few seconds before giving her the treat to...

expensive little babies!!! Haha, glad to know im not alone on that one. Lily and Dood have got a list too and although we always come home to find these things we can practically guarantee that Lily gets started on something and then Dood sees how much fun he's missing out on and so joins in...

Dood My 9 mth old dogs a boxer mix. i think he's 3/4 boxer, 1/4 american bulldog but from what im told they arent all that different genetically. he does have a slightly longer nose than most boxers but he's still beautiful :D Then we have Lily-Bear who's the same boxer mix. she's a bit more...

Kong Wubbas are great! I bought Lily a kong wubba for christmas and both her and Dood play with it. Theyre both 8 months old so theyre getting quite a strong bite and pull. They like it much more than i thought they would, in fact Lily often runs off and picks it up when she wants a play. Its...

Hahaha, seems like a boxer thing! Lily and Dood love ice!!! whenever the freezers open they come over and start licking the freezer doors, and then if you give them ice they do the typical boxer thing of throwing it across the room, and then pawing at it, then throwing it again, then pouncing...

Glad it was nothing too serious! Wow, that sounds well scary.... i dont know what i'd do if that'd have happened to me and Dood! So glad it got sorted though :)

hi guys, just a quick question out of general curiosity :) my dog lies down next to/on me from time to time. every now and then if im talking to him or looking over him he'll stretch out his leg and shove his paw into my face (which is quite cute and amusing). I was just wondering what he's...

Hi guys, not sure if this is in the right section or not but this seemed like the most appropriate one. I have a 3 month old boxer pup and somehow, he's managed to break one of his claws. You can see that half of it is hanging off and theres a tiny bit of blood there. He doesnt seem to be in...

to snowdove jst an idea but one of our pups (Lily) is a little sod for biting at times. we HAVE to give her a very firm, commanding 'NO' to get her to stop. at first i thought i was being a bit too firm with her, but i've come to realise that so long as i show her equal praise for the things...

firmness? my mums boxer pup lily has the same issue and she still does it now, just not so much. we just say ''NO BITING'' in a firm commanding voice. after that she'll just lick us :D when she's been playing with Dood and she's all worked up she goes at it like mad so we occansionaly (and very...

beautiful! Nalabear made a great point when she said about the owners who dont care being the ones with badly behaved dogs! I think mainly its peoples ignorance and if that neighbour wants to hide his dog away instead of judging your dog based on his behaviour then he's the one in the wrong...

thanks for the encouragement :D thanks :) i didnt really expect anyone to reply to my late night ramblings but you've came up with some really great tips :D i totally forgot about 'crate time' other than when they go to bed lol... think im gonna go and put lily in the crate now with her kong...

Just thought i'd type up my thoughts on having 2 puppies to train at the same time for anyone who's interested :) 5 days ago now we brought Dood and Lily home. We'd been to see them about 4 times in the run-up to them coming home. Everything started out quite well whilst they were still shy in...

Wonderful little puppy!!! first off, congrats on the new addition, he looks adorable!!! :D for what its worth i have the same issues with Dood and Lily, both 8 week old boxer pups, i have noticed over the last 2 days that theyve been improving slowly just through consistency in the way we deal...

Backyard breeders I'd just like to say that whilst im against irresponsible breeding, and breeding just for the cash - i got my dog from a ''backyard breeder''. so far he's been very well looked after and seems very happy mentally. there are a few people out there who although they dont only...
