    Bath time?

    I use Bark n Bath shampoo and both of mine have beautiful coats. Their skin is never dry and flaky and they smell great! Their products are all reasonably priced to boot: www.barknbath.com.

    Here I go again (long)

    I hope that Miss Bea gets the all clear to start playing again really soon! That little girl has been through quite a lot for such a baby...at least she finally landed in a soft spot :)

    how do you punish a naughty boxer

    If I catch Gus in the act, I tell him no, and he gets so upset that it makes me upset! He cannot stand to hear no, or for us to be upset with him, so it's really easy to "punish" him. He knows what he is allowed to do, and rarely ever makes any mistakes, so we really don't deal with that much...

    Here I go again (long)

    Dora, I have thoroughly enjoyed following Miss Bea's story. You are such an angel for taking her in and getting her all fixed up! I work with Rockin P Boxer Rescue (a boxerworld approved rescue) and we have dogs spayed and neutered as young and 10 and 12 weeks. We will absolutely not let a dog...

    Something to think about for us all

    When I leave Gus and Tucker in the car while running errands (short ones where I'm only out of the car for 10 min. tops), I leave the car running and the air conditioner on full blast. I do this without any worry because NO ONE would get past Gus into the car, he would eat them first. :) I guess...

    I just caught this thread, and I have to say that you are a boxer angel Dora! I'm praying for a cancellation for Bea's surgery this week. Teah

    Licking Problem....

    Sounds like separation anxiety to me. Do a search on the board for this problem and you'll get tons of great advice for how to deal with a dog that has SA. TBJ

    New Kitten! What to do!?

    sometimes it's not such a bad thing for the kitty to get in a couple of swipes to the dog's muzzle...teaches them that kitties are not only soft things...they have sharp bits too :)

    I need a lot of help -playing aggressively, biting, and won't quit...scares me

    Here's my .02 cents: 1. Get that boy some structured exercise in the mornings, so that he is more calm throughout the day, they NEED this. 2. Are you doing NILIF? If not, you really need to. He needs to know that you are the leader, not him. You should be initiating play sessions (all of...

    Why isn't he affectionate?

    I have a BIG cuddler in my baby Gus. He was a super snuggler when he was a baby, then he went through his independent stage and didn't want to cuddle for a few months (it was right around 8-12 months or so, so maybe this is the problem?). After he got finished being a rowdy adolescent though, he...

    Are black labs less desirable?

    It is very true that black dogs of all breeds are harder to adopt out from shelters/rescues than dogs of other colors...doesn't make any sense to me, but it's true. The reason that black labs are cheaper is that black is the dominant gene and more black labs are available out there. I have one...

    I live in Alabama and use Frontline Plus and Interceptor every 30 days, every month out of the year.

    How do you weigh your boxer?

    I use the weigh myself, then weigh my dogs method...It works for those that weigh less than about 70 pounds. Anything over 70 pounds (Bear and Sugar) have to wait to go to the vet each year to be weighed. Teah

    When did your boxer start to "WOO WOO?"

    Gus started wooing at about 3 or 4 months old...he hasn't stopped since :)
