My girl
Though Kira is my first boxer, I would have to say that I did not feel that she was to hard to train...except on the potty training issue, but she suffered from a bladder infection which was one reason things didn't go so well. Going #2 outside was the big issue, she preffered to pooh infront of the toilet in the bathroom (maybe I should have just built her steps right up there). Kira was also the most mellow puppy I have ever had, but again this could be because of her special condition.....
quick story!
I got Kira from a woman who's boxer developed mange while pregnat and was to far along to abort the puppies (the mom later died from the infection), she had been a reputable breeder who ran into a unfortunate problem...she asked me if I would like to have one of the puppies, she wanted them to go to homes who were informed of the condition and would be able to care for these specail angels. I received Kira for free and made her a verbal agreement that she would be spayed (which I would have done anyway). Kira lasted about 2 weeks after I got her home before breaking out in full on mange...which I had to fight for months...she is fully health now and has no scaring, unfortunatley her two brothers did not make it, had I known they were not going to be cared for properly I would have taken them all!!!!
Anyway back to training! Kira is still a really good girl and on occasion can get a little to big for her britches, and if she gets in trouble she takes things very personally...I try never to yell at her ( her expression and reaction make me cry), but instead send her to her room (yes our dogs have there own bedroom). This has been the way that I have found to modify unexceptable behavior from Kira because of her love to always be with the family. All other training issues were very easy for her!
Appologies for this long winded response. I would have to agree with the rest of the thread posters...I think it really depends on personallity of every individual dog...which every boxer owner knows that all boxer all have huge personalities.
I am sure she will come around just fine!
