Thank you everyone for the heart-hitting advice, I will think over all of this and possibly put him in my room at night as a consideration.

Okay... My un-neutered 5-6mnth old boxer ALWAYS whines and barks at night and only at night, it is driving me and my parents crazy. I don't want to feel the need to take him on a walk at 10PM every night before he goes to sleep to make him tired because I don't feel safe doing that for myself...

Try limiting his water? I only give water to my pup when he hasn't had some in a while, so I know when he needs to pee (which is usually 10-20 minutes later for him). Be sure that you really mask the scent with an enzyme cleaner as well so they don't pick up the smell of their pee in the house...

Thanks for the reply you two! I got him back and he is getting better with me everyday.

Gentle My 3 month old is the devil when it comes to teething, since I know he will not stop, what I do is whenever he's teething on me or anyone's hands, I let him until he stops and keep saying GENTLE. It works for him fine, after a while, he understood that gentle means "I have to stop biting...

Hello, I recently left my 3 month old to a friend to take care of over the weekend, the first day he had no problems, but the second day he is peeing in people's homes, when he does not pee or poo in my home, and apparently he is being very aggressive even after he gets put in his kennel for...

Yes Yes and yes a thousand times yes, but absolutely none of that processed honey, because it doesn't have the live enzymes from the bees and most of its true nutrients are gone. My pup right now has kennel cough and I have been giving him spoonfuls of honey and he loooooves it. I give him...

So another problem I forgot arised. When I'm walking around, he bites at my pants and whatever he can reach down there, and when I stop completely and ignore him, he latches on and shakes his head, he does not stop until I say so or I put a toy into his mouth. The ignoring thing doesn't work so...

Thanks a ton for the advice, I will keep everything in mind. I have had friends and some other trainers tell me that I'm supposed to be dominant over him and hold him down in a submissive state, but I feel like agression never meets agression. So thank you all for the great and better advice!

Hello! I am a 19 year old college student that recently got a puppy 3 weeks ago. He is mixed with just a bit of lab, but not enough to take away his boxer-ness. I have never had a puppy before, he is my first. His name is Oscar, and he is quite the handful. He's not good at playing, and...

I recently got this boxer with a little mix of lab about 3 weeks ago, he's my very first puppy. He's great when it comes to food, listening to me (most of the time at least)... He gets tired of things quickly, like his toys specifically. He's not a great walker on his leash and I feel like I'm...
