Are you looking for a way to occupy your Boxer Dog? My Boxer Dog Brewer got a Bob-A-Lot Brain Teaser recently and it is nothing short of amazing! The Bob-A-Lot keeps him occupied without me involved when I need to get some things done and it is an excellent brain teaser toy that makes Boxers work for their food. Oh, and it also takes them much longer to eat a portioned meals worth if they tend to inhale their dinner like my Boxer does. Sometimes I’ll give Brewer half of his dinner in his Bob-A-Lot and the other half in his dish. It allows us to eat our dinner in peace too

***Get your Bob-A-Lot today and see for yourself how great it really is!!!***

Boxer dogs should always respond to your commands, affection, discipline and praise because your Boxer respects you and is not afraid of you. Your Boxer’s response to you should not be based on the fact that he/she will get a treat for pleasing you either. Try to look at it this way; food shouldn’t be used as a reward for an obedience command, but rather as a friendship offering, especially for previously abused (rescue) Boxer dogs. With mutual respect from both sides, obedience training can build a bond between you and your dog or puppy. If it’s early in your dog’s life, take advantage of this time and do not wait until he’s grown-up. I’ve heard so many excuses from people before saying that they want to start bringing their dog to obedience school when he’s one years old, or that they plan to start next month, start now and it will pay off, I promise this!

If you’re working with your puppy, keep in mind that their attention span is very short and that repetition of an exercise is more beneficial than trying to have your Boxer dog hold still on a command, for example, when you’re having them sit. Puppies will most likely use temper to control the situation, and these tantrums are displayed in numerous forms. Your puppy may cry out at your commands in protest, bite the leash, and lay flat on the floor like a lifeless stone and refuse to move. These examples have to be addressed with as they happen by using a stern, “No,” or “Let’s Go” command, and always keep in mind and use consistently a body language that your puppy or dog will react to. Slapping your thigh, clapping your hands, stomping your feet, waiving your arm, and the like are good uses of body language usage. You will find that even puppies are very capable of learning several obedience commands at a very early age. And again, the earlier on you begin to structure their minds the better it is. Here are six commands that are easy to teach and highly effective if used properly; sit, down, stand, here (or come), let’s go, and heel. In a future blog post, I will discuss the commands in detail and share with you some exercises that will allow you and your Boxer dog to master them!

Patience and repetition are key for training your Boxer puppy to not relieve in your house. Dog training in general is much more effective if you understand that a dog’s mind works differently than the human mind. Because dogs are essentially only thinking in the moment, if they are not caught right in the act of doing any unwanted behavior, then the chance to correct the behavior is most likely gone. By scolding your dog when you get home from work because he left a mess on the kitchen floor, he’s most likely not able to understand what he has done wrong. If you are not able to be around to correct this issue, you would probably benefit from keeping your Boxer in a confined area, such as a crate.

If for instance you will be gone for four hours of the day where nobody will be home, your best bet is to crate your Boxer dog so that he will be less apt to have an accident and get into stuff he shouldn’t be getting into. Avoid leaving a puppy in a crate for more than five to seven hours at a time, as their ability to hold their pee that long is not like a grown dog. A Boxer’s instinct is to not soil in their crate because they treat it as it would be their den out in the wild. Simply put, a Boxer doesn’t want to sit in his own soiled blankets all day long, so this can work as a means to correct the behavior by having more control over the situation. And remember, a Boxer’s crate should be a comforting place for the puppy and again, it will help to teach him to hold it until the time is right. I would recommend waiting until twelve weeks of age at least before you start leaving him alone in his crate, and even at twelve weeks it should be very minimal in time and build his length up each time as best you can so it’s not so dramatic for him.

When you get home from work, immediately take your Boxer puppy outside and bring him to the area where you would like him to go to the bathroom. As soon as he finishes you need to praise him by saying something like, “Good pee and poo,” or “Good boy Brewer, good pee and poo.” Be enthusiastic about him going outside as positive reinforcement is what will help train your Boxer puppy to continue going when and where you want him to. As I mentioned earlier, you must not punish your dog after the fact, but rather during if you can catch him. If you’re at home and he’s not in a confined area, keep an eye on him. If your puppy starts to pee on the floor, pick him up and continue to say, “No pee on the floor,” and while you’re mildly scolding him, quickly carry your Boxer dog outside and let him finish what he started. After he finishes going, praise your dog for his job well done which may be hard to do because he just had a slight accident in the house, but it is very important he understands that he’s doing a good thing by going outside. If you continue working with your Boxer puppy and have patience with him, you will be glad you followed through in the long run and by no time your dog will be perfectly potty trained dog!

Not only is Omega 3 Fatty Acid a great substance for humans to consume, dog’s benefit from the supplement in many ways.

The conclusion to my last visit to an Allergy Specialist Veterinarian was to give my Boxer dog an Omega 3 Fatty Acid pill on a daily basis, in addition to some other short-term meds.

After doing extensive research and information gathering I came up with a list of the main benefits associated with implementing a Fatty Acid into your Boxer’s diet.

As mentioned, Omega 3 can prevent or control your dog’s allergies. Some dog’s that have allergies may have a weak immune system but by giving them a daily dose of Omega 3 it can limit the symptoms from allergies and boost their immune system.

Other Benefits Include:

· *Beneficial to the nervous system

· *Good for the heart

· *Decreases and helps stop inflammation, such as arthritis and allergies

· *Can play a role in the prevention of cancer

· *Helps prevent cardiovascular disease, atopic and general dermatitis

· *Kidney disease,

· *Otitis (ear infections)

· *Diabetes

· *Autoimmune disorders

· *Respiratory diseases (including asthma) and can be beneficial for sinusitis

Omega 3 Fatty Acids are even beneficial for your Boxer’s coat. It can help with dry and dull coats while improving the texture and making it shinier.

Flaxseed oil is very rich in Omega 3 Fatty Acids and serves as an appropriate daily habit to add into your Boxer’s diet. Almost all of the studies I have read on giving Fatty Acid supplements to one’s dog agrees that out of any supplement on the market Omega 3′s are the best for overall health benefits. A lot of commercial dog foods contain Omega 6 but these can actually contribute towards inflammation issues and do not have benefits like Omega 3′s. Some people think by giving their dog animal meats means their Boxer is getting Fatty Acids; this is not true as Omega 3 Fatty Acids can only be found in fish.

I’ll probably get a lot of questions asking about the amount of milligrams that one should wean into their dog’s diet, and all I can tell you is I give my dog one 1000 mg capsule a day, every day. I have read many articles suggesting to give 1000 mg per every 10-30 lbs which just seems like a lot, and that’s why I recommend consulting with your Veterinarian first for his/her advice.

The boxer dog breed was developed in the late 1800′s in Germany. This fascinating breed was developed by breeding the English Bulldog with a breed known as the Bullenbeisser, which is now extinct. The outcome; a short haired medium size dog with a fairly stocky build, strong limbs, and one of the most popular breeds in the 20th century. The boxers short haired coat usually comes in fawn, brindle, tan, mahogany, black with white markings and also can come in a white coat but the AKC will not allow a boxer with over a 1/3 white coat.

The boxers movements denote energy and hence serve as a great guard and working dog, but also as a companion dog. The boxer combines strength and agility with elegance and style. Their expression is alert and temperament steadfast. They are loyal and compassionate family dogs more of anything today compared to the past, as they get along great with kids and can learn to even play nice with other house pets, but no guarantees.

The broad blunt muzzle is a stand-out feature and is essentially what gives beauty to the boxer breed. The blunt muzzle is around 1/3 the length of the head, and about 2/3 the width of the skull. Wrinkles typically appear on the boxers forehead when their ears are erect, and are most always present on both sides of the muzzle, once again adding to the beauty of the boxer.

Boxer puppies grow exponentially. When they are little, it is hard to imagine that a tiny puppy will grow up so fast, but it happens and is over quick, and that’s why you must cherish the moments, train them and photograph them on those golden opportunities, which is everyday! A males height will reach from 22-25 inches, a females 21-24. A male boxer will typically weigh between 60-70 pounds and a female 50-65.

Almost every dog barks and does so to communicate. When dogs are barking they’re telling us there is something going on; they are essentially feeling a form of emotion that doesn’t always mean their upset. Dogs will sometimes, or all the time bark from arousal, but other feelings can be related to anxiety, fear and or stress, etc.

Because dogs bark by expressing emotions, it does not mean you should yell at them or punish them; it is a natural evolved behavior. Rather, you will want to train your dog not to bark in those situations. Clicker training or saying (for example) the word ‘yes’ can switch the feared or aroused emotional state to a calm relaxed and happy state thereby eliminating the symptoms such as barking. Here are four steps to counter condition your boxer dog:

1. Establish the root cause of your boxers barking. There may be multiple causes but it is important to identify them and write them down.
2. After determining the causes of your dogs barking, (such as a dryer being turned on), reinforce the dog during those situations before the dog thinks to bark (it’s tricky but you need to think it out and plan ahead).
3. Interrupt your dog and when they are barking (call them to you, change direction if on a walk) so as it is not reinforced.
4. Prevent barking when you are not around (leave the TV on if an option; don’t allow the dog access to what they usually bark at because otherwise you are not around to correct the behavior).

I wish you the best of luck in your upcoming trainings with your boxer!. Remember, training your dog in obedience can be a lengthy process, but if your boxer dog is trained with proper methods and skills and you are consistent, your dog will make fast improvements as boxers are very smart and trainable dogs.

Fellow Boxer Lovers,

I recently purchased a product created by Dove Cresswell called, “Puppy and Dog Training Online” and found it an amazingly effective approach to teaching the basics of obedience, training, tricks, and some agility. The highlight to this informative product is it works and without you having to go out and spend hundreds or thousands of dollars on a trainer to come to your home and work with your dog for an hour at a time. The truth is that dog’s attention spans are pretty short and they do not necessarily benefit from a whole hour of intense training once a week or every other week as opposed to 15 minutes a day. Yes, that is correct, I said 15 minutes a day and it is not hard to stick to. One thing that I always explain to people is that boxer dog owner should not have a mindset of thinking that one day of the week is designed for focusing on their dog and that they will get somewhere with that mindset. I attempt to drill into their heads that owning a boxer entails ongoing training lessons and lots of work. And sure, there is much fun and affection to be had as well but that all stems off of proper training. If you get the daily training lessons down you will have a happy relationship with your boxer dog; Dove Cresswells’ Puppy & Dog Training Online course will help you do just that. Check it out!

Finding a reputable boxer breeder is essentially the most important source for finding a healthy boxer puppy with a good temperament. Before you search for a boxer puppy and reputable breeder, you want to know what you’re looking for. A reputable breeder is one who puts the welfare of the breed and the individual boxers above titles and monetary gain. In my opinion a couple or individual seeking to only make money out of the deal is probably overlooking some aspects of the boxer’s well-being. The ideal reputable breeder loves boxer dogs and most likely is a member of a local or national boxer club. One can tell a reputable boxer breeder by the way they speak of the breed, and the enthusiasm that is relayed.

The biggest and most important aspect to searching for a boxer breeder is to ask questions, lot’s of questions. As you talk with people about where to find a boxer puppy, you should prepare yourself with a list of question such as the ones below. And as a tip, by asking intelligent questions it shows you care and know what you’re talking about because boxer breeders will not sell their boxer pups to just anybody, they want them to be in a happy and safe home. Here are seven questions to ask a boxer breeder that will get you on the right track:

*How many years have you been breeding boxers?
*What is your dogs’ average longevity?
*What are your dogs’ general health problems and causes of death?
*Do you have testimonials from owners that I can view or may I talk with owners of other boxers you’ve bred?
*Is there a contract required and if so, what are the conditions?
*How soon will I get the AKC registration papers?
*May I see results from the Michigan State thyroid panel?

As mentioned before, asking the right questions to reputable breeders will be important to determine legitimacy, but also to place yourself among the top candidates for getting a boxer puppy from them. A reputable breeder may ask you just as many if not more questions than you asked them to determine if your home is suitable and if you would be ideal parents. By knowing the characteristics of boxers such as their behavior and needs, you will understand if your home and life style is suitable. In a future blog post I will go into more detail on factors to determine before bringing a boxer dog into your home.
