I think I accidentally trained my Nala to not woo woo. The only time she would do it was when she was begging for really tempting people food - steak, hotdogs, etc. So in the process of teaching her not to beg I think I also taught her not to woo woo. Oh no! I want the woo woos back! Any recommendations on what I can try to make her woo woo? What makes your Boxer woo woo?

Vegas doesn't do it either. He is not vocal at all. Unless he is howling at somthing outside. I have tried to get him to do it by doing it myself but he just looks at me funny and jumps up on me. Its cute when they do it, but he has other traits that make up fot it.

My girl LC won't woo woo either. She did it one time, when the tornado sirens went off at the first of the month and not since.

Sirus doesn't do it very often. I can count on one hand how many times he's done it in his almost 2 year life...he does however "talk like Chewbaca" quite a bit...mostly when he's talking back to me. Which people get a crack out of...and I of course try and stand firm...yet somehow he gets me to crack as well! :LOL:

I have also tried to get Sirus to "Woo Woo", by imitating other boxers "woo woo", and he too just looks at me like I've got 3 heads and then jumps on me! Funny dogs! :LOL:

Ava is a woo wooing machine. She always has been, and we have encouraged her by fussing over her every time she does it. There is a picture of Ava in our gallery in the midst of her littermates woo wooing at just a few weeks old.

Her older, half brother/cousin Indy never woo wooed, but now, will occasionally mimic Ava, especially when she is doing it, and he wants attention. I wish he'd do it more often, he has a much sweeter voice than Ava. Hers is good, but his is outstanding .......... when he decides to use it.

As you have noted, they usually do it when they want something. It may be food, or attention.

You can try woo wooing at her. Ava usually responds to that. When she does, make sure Nala knows that you appreciate it by fawning over her.

Ava will do it with pretty good reliability on the command, "Sing".

You can try to coax it out of her when you are playing. Just back off, look at her, but don't give her any attention. It might prompt her to woo woo at you.

Be sure to praise and/or treat her at the slightest sign of a woo woo, and procede from there.

Let us know when she begins "singing" again.

Max doesnt woo woo either :( He does the chewbaca talk sometimes, but not too often... He's just not very vocal, period. I didn't hear him bark untill he was 7 or 8 months old, and even now he doesn't do it often, even though I can coax it out of him if I really want to... No woo woo for me either :( Oh well, the sloppy kisses and the hip attachment make up for it.

Thanks for all the tips!

RVsBoxer - I read the post you linked to and it gave me some good ideas too.

It's good to know that my Nala isn't the only one out there who isn't very vocal. I get the Chewbaca talk occassionally but never knew what to call it until now!

I've tried woo wooing at her, she cocks her head to the side and gives me that adorable "mom, you're weird" look.

Guess this is a good excuse to constantly buy new toys with the hope that one may get a woo woo! :)
