    Advice needed - ongoing barking problem!

    Long - sorry! I have an 18-month boxer who sometimes barks non-stop. I've received two notices from Animal Control and if I get a third one, I'll be dragged to court in a lawsuit. My Roxy is a rescue and she's been through a lot, so some of the barking is probably fear-induced, when she can...

    Help

    I adoped a 14 month old female Boxer and quickly found that she was not housebroken either. it's entirely possible to fix this, just takes good timing and patience. I'm also wondering if the fact that yours hasn't been neutered is a factor-- my last male Boxer used to mark my home frequently...

    Hi from Southern California

    huntington beach assume you're talking about the doggy beach at huntington? no, I've never been there and always wanted to try it. that would probably be a great way to get Roxy exercised--she's soooo active and playful!

    Hi from Southern California

    Hellow fellow Boxer lovers. I've recently adopted a year-old Boxer named Roxy. I'm her third owner! So she has some behavioral problems like incessant barking and heavy nipping but I'm determined to keep her (even though my neighbors are complaining about the barking). Well anyway, I'm glad I...
