[QUOTE="bulldog, post: 229231, member: 4592"] Boxers are absolutely great dogs. You will not be disappointed. I have an American Bulldog who is my best buddy. She is about 2 1/2. I really focussed on training her for the first year. Every day we would go over training and she knows me as the pack leader. I only put an agressive hand on my dog one time and I wish I never did. It took a long time for me to earn her trust back and I still think she thinks about it. I would advise you to not as it can make them head shy. I always showed huge praise and rewards for positive behavior and a firm scolding is enough for negative things. They will mess in the house and tear some of your stuff up. They are dogs and they are curious, especially boxers. I guess my best advise would be to train, train, train, praise, praise, praise, We also never used the term "no". We would make a firm sound like "ah, ah". It seemed to work better. My dog knew every command I wanted her to by the age of 12 months. She is till learning tricks and things but the major things were all learned by 12 months. [/QUOTE]
