our 10 month old male is the same way. He is very unpredictable when it comes to how he will react around other dogs. At first i thought it was also aggression, but i have found that if the other dog is not an "up play" dog (doesn't play on their hind legs) then fights begin. Boxers have lots...

I am torn between the best age to socialize a pup. We were told by our vet not to socialize our boxer until he had all his shots, but that it would be okay to take him out after his 2nd shots. Jacko ended up having quite a few health issues after his 2nd shots. He got ecoli from going outside...

We are starting to see the same signs with our neutered 10 month old. Jacko has been to 2 different obedience classes, which has seemed to help with commands but not with socialization. From the day we brought him home Jacko was socialized with other family and friends dogs. In the last few...

There is nothing wrong with the dog sleeping in the bed as long as you understand that the bed becomes their bed too. I have found that as long as you stay consistant then they will respect your wishes. Our dog usually sleeps on his bed beside us on the floor to start the night. He will try...

Thank you for your suggestions. We have been working with Jacko and for the most part things seem to be working. I have changed my tone to be more stern rather than weak which helped a lot, obviously. Making crazy noises made Jacko curious and he came running over to me but eventually he...

Our boxer is 9 months old and we have been working on and off the leash with the "come" command. When we let him outside to play or potty he comes when he is finished or called, but there are times when we try to get him and he starts bouncing around, running away, barking and grawling. Us...

Yes Jacko is neutered. I agree with the giving into his wants situation, we have been working really hard on trying to not allow this to happen, but yes I was guilty at the coffee shop. Jacko knew he was in trouble once I firmly stood my ground with him (which involved yelling) so I need to find...

Our Flashy Fawn boxer is now 9 months old and we have had him since he was 8 months. We have taken Jacko to puppy obedience as well at level 1 obedience classes which he has passed. Since he had his 2nd set of shots we have had him socialized with other dogs in and out of obedience classes...

Hello everyone! My boyfriend and I would like to introduce our 9 month old flashy fawn boxer to you all. He has been a great addition to our family. I have had 2 high energy dogs in the past, but this is our first boxer! He is very loving but definitly shows dominant traits. We love to go on...
