No, I'm sorry. I meant this as an example in the start of training. That is as her dog ran down the street, she yelled "Peaches" and was upset that the dog did not respond to her name. I agree that a dog eventually will learn our language and respond they way we wish. When our trainer told us...

We have been talking our dogs to training. And the biggest thing I learned and maybe it will give you a different perspective is that words mean nothing to them. You say "sit" they hear "ish" you say "come", they hear "ish". You say "Peaches", they hear "ish". What's "ish"? Who knows...

I'm guessing taking her with you is not an option either. We try to take ours on every road trip we take and it is so much fun. But if thats not an option, there must be several boarding kennels you could leave her at. I have seen some really nice ones. The one by us (because we considered...

If me and dh are argue about something, Tyson will sigh over and over again, like would you two just give it up already. And if we keep fighting, he'll finally get up and sit with his back to one of us and bark and the other. It always breaks the tension, because we say he's the referree and...

Good for everyone involved. He is a very good looking boy. Congrats to you and your friend.

We call Boxlee, Poopy Jamoopy! He always poops twice. Everytime. We just leave him out longer, even though he wants to come in right away. If we wait long enough he'll turn around and go back for a second round!

Mine do the exact same thing. Boxlee will be barking at Tyson for chewing on his bone, and Boxlee's bone can be laying right next to him. Crazy Dogs!

Congrats!!! Good Luck with your new puppy, hope all goes well. A side note on names, when I was looking for a name for our new one, I saw on here someone had named their white female, Charmin, so when you hugged her you could say "Don't squeeze the Charmin" and I thought that was adorable...

Pain is exactly what I was going to say. My parents have a lab (Heidi) who is 9. Very well tempered dog until a few years ago. She always lays behind our recliner when she wants to get away. Well one day (a few yrs. back), I was getting ready to leave. So I went to put her in the...

Tyson is such a tattle-tale. Just the other night he woke me up whinning at the edge of the bed. I thought he had to go out. I walked in the other bedroom and Boxlee has shredded my wicker laundry basket. You can't see a smidge of carpet. There is debris everywhere. Tyson just walked in...

Wow I can not get over how ironic this story is to me. Today I took my 12 week old puppy to the vets for his last set of shots. He acted very similiar to the puppy we are talking about, to the vet. As she was checking him out he started nipping at her, then she decided to clip his toe nails...

I think the show is the a train wreck, it's horrible, it makes me sick to my stomache, and yet I have to watch it. I feel so bad for those animals that I start to cry. I haven't seen any of them that feature boxers, thank goodness, I don't know if I could handle it.

Tyson is 18 months old or so and he has never lifted his leg. He does the horse squat and I hope that never changes. I am anxious to see how Boxlee will be when he's older. It will be interesting.

Tyson is 17 mos. and weighs 51 lbs. Everyone always askes us if he done growing. I usually tell them that he should start filling out soon. I really hope that is the case. He eats a ton of food and his ribs still show. He's tall, I think the last time I measured him from floor to top of...

Everytime I see an ad in the paper (thankfully never as bad as the one above) selling akc white boxers, I want to call the people up and start yelling at them. Then why would I stop there, I should go ahead and call everyone advertising in the papers and see what qualifications there dogs have...
