If there is anything you would love about having a boxer dog for a pet in the house is their natural likes for having you around where they can see you. A boxer dog is typically fond of humans and they have a special way of listening and cheering you up on your sad days. As for meeting strangers, a boxer can easily tell if a friendly stranger is to be trusted or is just faking it. They can communicate freely with you and just sits with you during your most quiet moments.

Boxers also have an annoying habit.

All dogs have their cute moments and days when you just cant seem to get upset at them. But when their young, boxers most especially; have a habit of biting almost anything that they come across with. Though this is a natural ability and way how they response to their surroundings, it’s better that you keep them company while they are out and about as they explore their surroundings. Never let them out unsupervised. The thing with boxer puppies is that they could get too curious which could lead harm to themselves or to others.

Put them to safety.

When you can’t keep your eyes on your puppy or puppies; be sure to put them in a crate. Put toys as well so they don’t get bored easily. There is a possibility though, that even on toys, boxer dogs will continue to bite and it may not be as pleasant as biting is seems, they may take biting to the next level which, could mean that biting arms, hands, feet and even chewing on your bare skin could become a habit.

Never yell at your dog.

Since boxer dogs are an intelligent breed, you can train them early on about when to bite and when not to. The key is for you not to scold and yell at them when they continue to chew or bite other things aside from what is given to them. Make sure that you are firm in letting them understand that there are different ways of biting. Simply stop playing with them or return your boxer dog to his crate when he starts his biting habit. Do this repetitively and when he is already able to get an idea of what you are trying to do, praise him. Any dog, when praised loves to obey just to hear you praise them again.
