Essential Dog Guide: Boxers Crave Attention

May 6th, 2008

Boxers require constant attention and love to be babied. Treat your Boxer as your best friend and play, play, play with him.

One three-month old Boxer I know loves her bath more when the owner sings to her. Be it playing, talking or singing to them or taking them for a walk, Boxers simply love the attention.

Shower them with love, affection and attention as well as some treats.

Left to their own devices, Boxers can become very destructive when lonely, bored and ignored. One is known to jump over a 6-footer fence if the owner is gone for too long.

Give extra space when you have to leave Boxers alone over an extended period. They don’t like to be locked in a room. One owner gives a 4-year old male Boxer the run of the hall stairs, landing and its own bedroom and the dog is much happier and not destructive at all.

When you have to leave Boxers alone, you’d better make sure they have a toy they really like or they’ll find something to do that you probably really won’t like.

Boxers are too smart and strong for their own good, and if they’re bored and undisciplined they can be a disaster in the house.

That is why obedience training is important, in order to prevent the destruction of too many of your belongings. Training makes a happier dog.
And that training begins with toilet training. Find out more
