Sachi is two and has started doing the same thing recently...although not with stuffed animals, but rather other things, such as the couch or side of our bed (she stands on her hind legs with her front feet on the bed and goes to town). I have found that distracting her with a toy or something...

My 2 yr old female continues to poke at other dogs at the dog park, in what I assume is an attempt to get them to run. Once she focuses in on a particular dog, it is difficult to get her to stop this behaviour...I've even seen dogs snap at her viciously and she keeps at it. We also have an issue...

Sachi will be 2 in January. I have been taking her to a local dog park for over a year now, and she gets along with other dogs just fine, and doesnt have a mean bone in her body. She loves to run, and when dogs don't want to run, she "pokes" at them with her nose, and will keep on doing this no...

Sachi and I send our prayers for both you and Keorouac! I am so sorry that Keorouac is not feeling well...we're sending you some positive vibes... :-)

Food Thank you both! We have two dogs and free feed them. We feed our older dog Iams Lamb and Rice, and we had put Sachi on Iams Large Breed Puppy food, which does contain corn meal. She eats both the puppy food and the Lamb and Rice (it depends on what she feels like--we are taking her off of...

My 5 month old baby Sachi is very itchy. She bites at herself (particularly on her back hips) and scratches incessantly. She also thumps her feet when you touch her almost anywhere. At first it looked like fleas, but I have taken her to the vet, and neither the vet nor I can see any fleas. The...

Hiya from Arizona Congrats on your new baby! I am new to boxers myself, and my boyfriend and I just got a puppy on 02/27. She is now 11 weeks old and is a reddish color (I don't know if this is what the term "fawn" refers to)..and I share your feelings about her....I absolutely adore her and...

Thank you for the recommendations on the books....I will give them a try. I really appreciate it! :-)

Sleeps in own bed My boxer pup Sachi is 11 weeks old and for now we have a large box that she sleeps in with her bed to confine her at night only. We don't have a crate because we don't need her confined during the day. Once she is housetrained she will sleep in her own bed on the floor next...

My boxer is 10 weeks old and I am not sure when to start leash training her and start basic obedience. I know that puppies have short attention spans, and I've been told not to take her to obedience class until her shots are complete which won't be for another month or so. What is recommended...

Sachi is an 11 week old reddish tan puppy...my spouse and I have decided to leave her ears natural, but her tail is cut. She has white on her chest and some white spots on her back paws. She also has a small white stripe in the middle of her face with a white spot on her nose. Her name means...
