Although I have a brush with bristles on one side and soft wire on the other, my best tool for brushing Cinda is a pair of rubber kitchen gloves. You've got to be careful not to pull their skin as the grip is quite strong, but after grooming (always outside) cinda just has to have those gloves...

Mmmmm, summer. Seems like a dream far away. Right now we're mid winter and waiting on another storm to tear us up some more. You're putting things in the fridge to cool your babys down: I'm getting Cindas' fleecy jacket out of the hot water cupboard to keep her warm when we go for walks...

yoghurt-YES! Yoghurt must be the answer! Ever since Cinda began a Purina One 30 day challenge using their dog food only she has been smell free. Then I see the threads talking about yoghurt and on the side of her food bag it says 'formulated with yoghurt' YAY! that's obviously the way to go...

When I logged onto Boxerworld it was the first time since the end of January. Since then we've sold up, bought again and moved and lost a dear doggy friend. Although that loss was our choice, our love for the safety of our two toddler Grandsons was greater than our love for Zak. His attitude...

think ahead Just reading this post makes me smile. Cindas' preferred position on our bed is either up on the pillows or under the covers tucked in behind my husbands knees. This doesn't happen often as she is an inside girl and moults continually. Every morning she joins us at six o'clock on...

As I am a firm advocate for Jan Fennells' books, I'm shouting inside to see so many people have read them. They do work--my Zak is living proof of that. I still need to get the Practical Dog Listener and am waiting for it to become free at our Library. Since I have found this method works, I...

We started Zak on the waterspray, and such is his nature, it became a game and caused him to become hyper, so take care. I'm glad you don't want your dogs on the furniture: this is good news. My two were allowed on and then I decided to have a 'fur free' zone and breaking that habit is hard. We...

Please don't be put off by the negatives against Jan Fennell-- I have applied her methods and have got peace in my house at last. I do believe her successes talk for themselves, and would recommend her to anyone. Keep trying if you've already started, you can't do any harm, and I think her ways...

You just don't know how glad I am to see somebody with this book other than me. I thought I was speaking a different language, trying to tell others and give advice from the book. Bring you dog up with it and you will both be happier for it. I borrowed it from another dog owner because I have...

Our dogs have never slept with us for a number of reasons and they're out in the lounge so the problem only arises when it's the weekend and we're trying to sleep in with two huge dogs all over us. Some of the behaviour I read from others about this situation makes me realise what a disservice...

Our pretty Polly-cat got hit on Christmas eve morning too, she was sunning herself on the neighbours driveway and they backed out...........She crawled away to die.She wasn't found until three days later and we laid her to rest with two other pussies and our little dog Yoda. I'm so glad your...

I'm going to stick my neck out here and say I have seen an ugly looking Boxer before too. He was running free round our neighbourhood and my own Zak got out and joined him in emptying someones' rubbish bag just before the men came to take it away. This dog was a brindle and the markings on his...

I'm not too sure where this should be posted--it isn't really about my Boxers, but then again it does concern them. On the morning of Christmas eve, our pretty Polly went missing. She is our Apricot Exotic cat, a short haired persian with a face to match the dogs. Her colouring is ginger and...

Congratulations on taking Luna's training so seriously. She will be your pride and joy all her life! And you have pride and satisfaction written all over you. Well done.

I noticed when I logged in that I hadn't been on BW for three months. In that time, I have started and finished a part-time course and landed a job. It's our summer again, while so many of you are wearing winter clothes we are stripping our gear off as our temperatures soar and it becomes very...
