Boxer Dog Training

The Boxer is an amazing dog and is extremely playful, energetic
and definitely a handful (in a good way of course). This breed
if dog is extremely loyal and when a friendship is built it
lasts forever. The boxer is very unique and not for everyone, if
you're a new owner of a boxer you have to be aware that they
need a lot of attention and training. They are extremely
intelligent dogs which can work to your advantage when it comes
to training, but then again can be very disadvantageous as they
know how to use their intelligence to get what they want.

Boxer dog training consists of training them up to become guard
dogs, this is their main profession if you like. People who
don't know boxers tend to assume that they are naturally
aggressive when they are in fact the opposite and couldn't be
more playful than any other dog! Because of their good stature
and aggressive look, people are automatically assuming this dog
could do more harm than good. If your boxer isn't trained
properly then he just might.

Because of their intelligence Boxers can be very stubborn but
when it comes to training a boxer it can be very helpful. Owners
must remember that there will be times when you ask him to do
something and he's going to look you in the face and basically
tell you where to go, he knows he is supposed to do what you are
telling him but he decides he can't be bothered and doesn't. The
main thing you have to remember in these circumstances is to be
patient. From as early as 6 weeks old you should start your
boxer dog training as this will help him when he grows up,
socialize him, play with him and teach him, but do it in an
exciting way and he is more likely to listen.

The main aspect of training for a boxer is socialization. Boxers
can be very friendly dogs but they need to be trained to become
one. They need to get accustomed to other dogs and people. The
best way to do this is training classes. That way your boxer
will be trained alongside other dogs.

When your boxer reaches 13-16 weeks old it's time for some
serious boxer dog training, this is the stage where he is going
to test for dominance, he will nip and try to show you that he
is the more dominant one, mainly by not listening to you. You
have to be a strong leader at this time, you must show him that
him acting like that will not be tolerated no matter what!

Boxers are genuinely a lovable family dog and would make a proud
pet for anyone, they are dogs that prefer to sit on you lap for
a cuddle than anything else. Train your boxer early with some
serious boxer dog training and you can be assured you will have
a stunning, loyal family friend!
