Boxers Have a Lot of Personality
Boxers are a lot of fun. They are very active and love to be around people and other dogs. Because of their size and personalities--there are some steps that you will want to follow if you have a boxer. Learn what they are in this article.
Instructions
1. Socialize your boxer properly. Boxer puppies, like all puppies, need to be socialized around other dogs, people, places and sounds. The more you socialize your boxer as a puppy, the better off and more stable she will be as an adult.
2. Establish some boundaries. Your boxer will become a big, strong dog and you need to have control over him. You can establish leadership by controlling the activities that are important to all boxers. Control the games, food, sleeping areas and social contact between you and your boxer. Pay close attention to the games you play; boxers love to play and quickly teach us to play by their rules.
3. Manage your boxer's behavior. Boxers, being very friendly and happy to interact with us, will jump and get very excitable around friends and family. It's important that your boxer does not develop the habit of jumping. You can prevent this by keeping a leash on your boxer when company comes over.
4. Train your boxer using positive reinforcement. Using force or harsh methods can backfire on you and develop into aggressive behavior. The last thing you want is a powerful dog like a boxer developing an aggression problem. There are negative side effects when you train using force; there are NO negative side effects when you use positive methods.
5. Teach these important commands to your boxer: sit, down, stand, stay, come and heel. The six basic commands are easy to teach boxers; they are extremely smart dogs and learn quickly.
