My biggest problem with my two boxers is they are both dominant and jealous of one another. One on one they listen quite well, but together they think they are a pack and they bark at all the neighbors and chase cats and squirrels with a vengeance. I tried walking them both together but I...

When we got Lex a year ago, I was adamant about not letting him on the furniture, but have since caved in. I am going to buy a new upholstery machine and deal with it. We have just recently started letting him out of his crate for short periods of time, and I know that the whole time I am...

I keep a very large rug right by the back door, and I do wipe all paws. Another handy gadget is a Swiffer wet jet. It cleans those muddy paw prints up! Sometimes I just wipe their paws against the big rug.

I have a 1 year old male and a rescue female who have been together for 7 months. They do pretty well together, but when a neighbor comes outside they freak and bark at them like they are a wild pack of dogs. Alot of times I look out the door to see if anyone is out before I even let them out...

It is definately fighting. They have had months of playing, chewing eachothers faces, chasing, etc. This is showing teeth, growling, some scrapes and blood. It is definately different.

Recently my two boxers, male and female, have become very jealous of eachother. A neighbor came over and they became so angry that he pet one but not the other right away, so they got in a terrible fight. This went on for a few minutes in the back yard. There was no breaking up this fight...

I have learned that there are actually people in this world who just dont like dogs, or sometimes animals in general. I f I pick up on that vibe when people are in my home, I give my dogs a special treat in there crates, which are right in my dining room.

I bought a sample bag at Pet Supplies Plus. My two boxers wont even think about eating their food unless there are goodies on it like cottage cheese, gravy, canned dog food, etc. I sprinkled 1/4 cup over their regular food and they went nuts! This has been going on for days now. They love...

My two boxers think that my shrubs are a buffet. I think I am going to have to put some type of fencing around them. They tore the bark off my pussywillows this week, chewed up my star magnolia, and love the privet hedges. Its like a salad bar in the back yard. I do worry about these making...

Socialization question I posted in the behavior section that I am having a hard time with my two boxers. They bark at every dog in sight. They go crazy if any dogs come near our fence. I have not done a good job taking them out alot because I guess I have been spoiled by the way they play so...

Now that we have two boxers, they have become super barkers. Especially to other dogs. It gets so loud that I have to practically drag them in the house for it to stop. My friend said I need to get them out and socialized more around other dogs but they get so crazy that I am almost afraid...

This happened to us many years ago. I thought I would have to rip out our light beige carpet. I tried my moms Bissel Carpet machine with the Bissel cleaners and it worked very well. I could not believe It all came out. They carry spot removers too. I actually have the Little Green Clean...

Our 6month old pup and his rescued girlfriend

This is my first time with two boxers. They love to chase eachother all over the yard, but now it is literally mud and very unsightly. I also have two young boys. I thought about temporarily fencing the grassy area, having it re-seeded, and then taking away the temporary fence when it is...

My 1-1/2 year old Lilly had her nylabone chewed up in pieces in about 10 minutes! I was floored.
