    How smart is your boxer?

    Just want to hear those fun stories about how your Boxer has trained you... Here's mine.. Anytime I tell Joe that it's time to "head to bed", he lays down and just stares at me. I open his crate and point and say "head to bed Joe" and he just lays there.... All I have to do to get him to...

    wild, weird or crazy things

    Joe's not allowed to get his food until it's "paid for". So he lays patiently on the floor and watches me get his food and water and then he lays there and shakes until I call out "PAID FOR!" and he takes off and digs in. The only thing he does that's really weird is flings his toys. He has a...

    My boxer doesn't...

    The only thing Joe doesn't do is the woo woo song. He did it once, and I've never heard it from him again. He does, however love to slobber on the A/C vents on my truck! I guess it's a nifty way to keep cool! RS - Joe's Dad

    Eating weeds

    I wouldn't worry about it. These silly dogs eat just about anything. Joe has eaten grass, weeds, small shrubs, a JC Pennys flyer, part of a phone book, a dog bed, parts of the wall of the house, tennisballs, hotdogs scarfed off the counter, plastic, a couple of socks, and numerous other small...

    I can't win...

    Joe is a 8 mo. old one-dog wrecking crew. I do normally have him in a crate, but we wanted to try getting him out of there in the afternoon. We don't like having him in there all day. That is surpassed however, buy the fact that I like my walls intact more. Maybe he's just trying to tell us...

    I can't win...

    Day 2... Well, we tried Joe in the kitchen again today. Made sure plenty of toys were in there. Made sure that there was a nylabone in there to chew on. Then we left... Shortly after 5PM, my wife arrived home to find that Joe had eaten the trim strips off the wall!!!! Some of the parts were...

    I can't win...

    So the other night I got my JoeBoxer a dog bed. They were on sale at Petsmart. 49.99. I bring the new bed home to my 8mo. old boxer. He sniffs, he bats at it. Then he humps it....for a while....despite us shooing him off it. Then, the next day, he ignores it for about a week. Yesterday, my...

    Grossest thing ever eaten?

    My dog Joe eats some strange stuff, and one of the strangest things was one of my kid's garden gloves. We never saw it come in, and it came out in his cage. I couldn't tell what it was, but then we noticed the pattern. Poor dog... Russ "Joe's Dad"

    Peeing issue

    Thanks all! I don't really mind it as much ,but it's driving my wife batty. My theory is that the carpet he's going on will be getting replaced this summer, so it's best that it's happening now than later. I also think we're going to go the hardwood route, so that will help too. Joe's such a...

    Peeing issue

    Hello all! I've been lurking here for about 2 months now, and now I need the advice of the group. I have a 4mo. old boxer named "Joe" and I have a problem with him peeing. I take him out every 45min to an hour and after meals and after intense play and up until recently, he was ok. Within the...
