Understanding the breed

Why Boxers need more training than their friendly nature suggests

Boxers are one of the most lovable and frustrating breeds in equal measure. Their enthusiasm for life is boundless, and so is their capacity to cause chaos if it is not channelled.

Their slow maturation means owners often wait for them to calm down, which does not happen on its own. Structure is what creates calm, not time.

Their size means boisterous behaviour is a safety issue around children and elderly people

Slow maturation means the excitable puppy phase can last well into adulthood without intervention

Their enthusiasm means they struggle to disengage from excitement, focus training is critical

Sensitive dogs who respond poorly to harsh methods and very well to positive reinforcement

What we help with

The Challenges That Come With A

Boxer

We work with these regularly. There is usually a clear path forward even in cases that have been going on for years.

🔁

Jumping Up

A very large Boxer jumping at people is a genuine safety issue. We address the underlying excitement.

⚡

Pulling on the Lead

Powerful pullers. We build calm loose-lead walking that works in any environment.

🐕

Over-Excitement

Cannot switch off, hyperactive, unable to settle. We build genuine calm through structure.

😟

Poor Recall

Difficult when there is something exciting nearby. We build reliable recall through positive training.

📣

Boisterous Play

Overwhelming other dogs with play style. We build appropriate social cues.

🚫

Anxiety

Under-stimulated Boxers can develop anxiety. Structure, exercise and enrichment help significantly.
