A few months ago, we took our limping dog to the vet (he started limping after playing ball in the park)-the vet said slight HD. So for the past few months we had her on glucosamine-now she improved, but would have bad days and never completely healed. Now yesterday she was turning the corner...

about a year ago my boxer had a pink spot that grew to the size of an eraser on her bottom lip, we had it removed. Now I notice two more spots, both around the black of her nose-does anyone have any information to share. She is a mess right now, she has been limping for about a month and the...

I have the sweetest boxer in the world-EXCEPT when we try and leave the house. She continues to use her crate in the morning and is fine going in, but after i get home from school (I teach)-if I try and put her in the crate, she will not go in. That would be fine, since for the most part she...

i have two year old boxer who is wonderful until we try to leave the house-she willingly goes in her crate in the morning -which is not problem, but then when we come home-if we try to leave-she refuses to go in her crate and if we try to leave her in the house-she tries to bite on our clothes...

we continue to have the same problem with our dog maddie.The only two times she shows aggression are when we try to place her in the cage (if it is a different time than her normal routine) or when my husband and I try to leave-it is almost comical-we try and escape through different doors in...

I now have a 1 and half year old boxer and she did the same things-I was amazed at how she had no problem going up against these huge dogs. She didn't growl that much, but she definitely had no fear. I think part of it is that it is in their nature to get on their hind legs and start "boxing"...

my puppy had colitis from the day we brought her home-she is now one and a half and is okay, but still has boughts with it-we had her on the hills and it did wonders for her, it just got very very very expecive-our vet gave us a homemade meal to make for her -which was time consuming but...

Thanks Nicki-i am glad to know i am not alone and there is still hope for my dog.!!!

My maddie is the same way. She was able to get out of her crate once-then we had to get a lock with a key for a while. We have never used the crate as punishment, but my dog also hates it-i know they say dogs learn to feel comfortable in there, but mine never has. We have tried to leave her...

I can sympathize with you. My husband and I placed a fence in our backyard and that same night we had visitors and placed her back thankful we had a fence. Before we new it our dog was at the front door wanting to come in a greet the our guests. My husband went out and purchased that green...

I had heard the same thing-only to use it if your dog was jumping. At first the dog was curious and then it wanted to play with it-it had absolutely no effect on it at all. However, we do have a friend that has a beagle and it worked wonderfully for her little jumper. I feel boxers are in a...

we have an adorable 1 and a half year old. She is fine when we are there ourselves, but goes abosolutely crazy when we have visitors-it is horrible-right now anytime we have people over we place her leash on-and she won't calm down. We just started have a private trainer since group classes...
