I took Thor to agility class last night and there's another boxer in the class. He is a five year old brindle. Such a cutie! We do obedience for about the first 20 minutes or so and Thor jumped a couple times for his treat when he was told to "watch". The trainer asked if there were any...

Thor (10 mos) has been through obedience and now we are starting agility. He is totally bored with his soft treats and pretty much ignores me. I get the treats in a roll that look like summer sausage, different flavors. What would be a good alternative? There is another boxer in the class and...

When Thor is let outside he will not come in the house unless he hears my voice. DH, and our two children cannot get him inside. When they open the door and call him he gets up close to the door and then he'll look at them and run away. We live on an acre with a fenced yard and he's hard to...

Thor is nine months old and he has just started doing the same thing. Anything with "stuffing" he tears apart. I used to buy him the dog beds with the bumpers on them and he started eating through the bumpers and I'd find the stuffing all over in his crate. Same things with the toys that had...

I have the same problem with Thor. This is really becoming a problem and I'm really at a loss. It's very hard when somebody comes over and I have to tell them to turn around and ignore him. He just jumps at their back. My kids friends for instance...all they want to do is come in the front door...

Thor is craaaaazy for snow. The first time in the snow I couldn't get him back in the house. I was getting worried because I thought he'd freeze. When I finally got him in he kept whining to go back out. He rubs his snout in it, runs like crazy, pounces at it and eats it. DH called me at the...

Thor knows who the "toy lady" is. Every time I walk in the door with a bag he's right there at my feet barely able to sit because he just knows I have something for him. I can't help it!! He has toys inside, outside, at my office, in the truck. They're everywhere. My kids come home and see a new...

When we are out in the yard and I'm some distance away from Thor I crouch down and walk really slow towards him and then he crouches down and walks really slow towards me. Once we meet I clap my hands and say "I'm gonna git you" and he gets on his hind legs and tries to box me. It's just like...

Boxers have a way of getting free stuff! When I went to get Thor (10 weeks old) it was a 5 hour trip one way. On the way back we stopped for gas/potty. My son was walking Thor on the grass by some trees and I saw a lady approach him and start talking and oogling over Thor then go back to her...

Two boxers are more fun than one. I've been trying to talk DH into another. I've had boxers before but he hasn't and he couldn't understand the "boxing" until he saw it. We were on our way out of the vets office the other day and there was a guy with an English Bulldog at the front desk, the...

Oh, no..I've been dreading the "tree". Thor is six months old and we have a big evergreen in the backyard that I haven't been able to keep him away from. Since the day I brought him home he has been wearing pine sap as a scent. I just know he's going to think I did him a favor and brought it in...

This is definitely Thor's favorite toy. He has two babble balls. He pounces on it and sends it flying, growls at it and lays on it thinking it will stop. His facial expressions are hilarious.

Oh, yeah...he plays and he eats dinner. It's just the morning routine. DH was off work today and I called to check on Thor and he said Thor kind of nibbled (hours later) and when he went out he was doing his typical boxer burns in the yard and taking DH for a walk by the pant leg. He looks...

I sometimes wonder if Thor isn't a skin kid in disguise. He is going through his teenage stage and he is following right along with the other teenagers in the house. I practically have to drag him out of his crate in the morning. He stretches on his way out, yawns, stops to scratch, stretches...

Funny how they communicate so well. I was working in the garage so I brought Thor out there along with his water bowl. We worked and played for awhile. When we went back in the house and I went about my business laundry, etc. and Thor just kept following me and whining. I opened the door..nope...
