Boxer dog training can and should be fun for you and your dog. That cute little puppy will soon be a 50-65 pound boisterous athlete. Boxer dogs are energetic and can be stubborn, but they are also loving and eager to please their human family. The dog owners job is to let his dog know what behaviors will please the family.
The untrained dog races through his home like an out of control two year old. Most everyone agrees a two year old needs an adult to be a leader. Dogs are perpetual toddlers who need a pack leader. Our pets live in a human world that they don’t instinctively understand. Dogs want to communicate with their human family but they don’t know our language. We all recognize the wagging tail or the warning growl. An untrained dog does not recognize words. He doesn’t know what correct behavior his human family is looking for. Dog training is teaching your animal to understand a human.
House breaking this intelligent breed can be surprisingly easy. The key steps are limited access and routine. Create a den that your dog will quickly learn not to soil This can be done with gates or by crate training. First thing in the morning, take your puppy to the potty area for 10 to 15 minutes and praise him as he completes his business. Then feed breakfast followed by another potty break. Throughout the day a puppy needs a potty break every two hours.
If your dog has an accident don’t yell or punish. This will just make him nervous and he may learn to hide his potty activity. The goal is to calmly redirect. Guide your dog to the potty area then clean the accident using an odor remover. When he has mastered beginning house training, expand his territory maintaining the same routine. Most Boxers will be house broken in a months time. An older dog can be house broken with the same routine and just as quickly.
Socialization with other humans and dogs is an important part of pet ownership. The Boxer breed is naturally wary of strangers. He should be introduced to many people early on so he comes to see contact as a positive experience. A puppy class is one way to allow a companion animal to meet a variety of people and dogs. Some pet owners visit dog parks or join other pet owners for walks.
If working with an older dog, a more controlled obedience class is a good starting place. If your powerful Boxer dog shows aggression consult with a professional trainer immediately. Commit to your dog and he will be a loyal trustworthy companion all the days of his life.
Many dog owners join obedience classes. Obedience classes train the owner to teach his dog the basic commands of heel, sit, down, stay and come. More advanced classes teach the dog owner to control his dog off leash. Some dog lovers enjoy specialized classes such as agility, a course set up with tunnels, jumps, seesaws, and other obstacles. Boxers being an athletic breed love agility courses. They will love this activity and this time spent with their beloved human.
Boxer dog training is basically everyday dog training. Because they love to please, they are usually quick learners. They love to accompany their human families at rest and play. When humans and dog are communicating in a common language, time together is fun for everyone, dog and humans.
