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.
