We go to the Bark Park on Pontiac Trail every weekend! There's 13 acres for him to run around in.. He loves it!

We're always looking for boxer friends for Dugan! Anybody live near Novi, Michigan and want to get together for some playtime with the pups?

He poops first thing in the morning.. around 5 am.. and then he eats breakfast.. and then he goes again at around 7 before my BF leaves for work and crates him.

What is going on?! Is it strange that my 7 mth old boxer is pooping in his crate every other morning? I thought that Dugan had the whole potty training thing down because he had had no accidents in his crate for quite some time (and never any accidents in the house) -- but for the last two...

At Dugan's first vet visit.. we received a "welcome pack" from the vet. In it was a bag of Purina Puppy Food and a bunch of other Purina treats! I couldn't believe that a vet (who I had thought would be well educated about a dog's nutritional needs) would recommend such low-quality food...

I'll try the diaper thank you!

Has anybody's dog done this???? Dugan is now 15-weeks-old. When he is in his crate for more than a couple of hours he will get on his back legs and pee OUTSIDE of the crate (or on the side of the crate that is sectioned off by a divider). I would be mad if he wasn't so dang clever!! He gets...

Thank you for the advice! We had the crate in our bedroom for the first week and after that moved it to the living room. He cried at first but had settled down and was sleeping most of the night until this past week. We try to exercise him before bed but maybe he it isn't vigorous enough for...

Dugan is 12 wks old and has very few accidents in the house...but he pees almost every time I leave him in his crate. What confuses me though is when we first got him at 8 wks he didn't do this! Just in the last week or so he has started to do this at least once a day. I have tried removing...

The devil in sheep's clothing!

Hi everybody! I am the proud new mom of Dugan, my 11-week-old fawn boy (pictures coming soon). My boyfriend and I are first-time Boxer owners and I am so grateful for this site! I have already learned so much just from reading the info in the forums...and you can expect to see many more...
