Hello everbody, I'm Anna and last Christmas I received my baby girl, SUGAR MAMA, who is now 22 weeks-old. She is such a joy and the first pup I've had since I was about 10 years-old. Needless to say, I'll be looking for lots of helpful advice and any general knowledge about boxers.

SUGAR is a riot when it comes to playtime, I love the level of energy she has. She enjoys shopping for new chew toys at the local pet store and behaves so well with all the folks she encounters. We have been working on her housebreaking with the use of a bell and it seems to be working out okay. She'll have an accident on days I don't get home until 5:30 or 6 in the afternoon (I'm a teacher and from time to time meetings are conveniently mandated during the last 10 minutes of the school day).

Well, I could go on and on but I'll be kind and say, "so long" for now. Thank you for making this forum available to the public. I look forward to utilizing all it has to offer in hopes of providing the best care and home for SUGAR MAMA.

Hello, and welcome to Boxerworld! You will find a lot of information here! I too am from S Texas (San Antonio) and have an 8 month old sweetie who is also well behaved (except when she roams the house looking for anything to pick up and carry around in her mouth, haha) and loves outings to the park or pet store. She has done very well in obedience and we have just started Novice classes. (she learns faster than I do!) Anyway, glad to meet you and Sugar and hope to meet you again on the boards!

thanks for the intro!

glad to meet you. I'm looking forward to meeting a lot of great people with prior and useful knowledge which in turn will help me to grow and improve as a new "Mommy" for Sugar!

You mentioned obedience and novice classes. I'm highly curious as to what this all entails. Do you and your little darling put aside scheduled days during the week and put in a set number of hours during each session? Or does your sweetie go off for weeks at a time? Do you recommend one method over the other? What kind of credentials should I look for in a reputable trainer? Anything you can offer will truly help. Thanks!

Anna & Sugar Mama
