Boxers - Training

Boxers are working dogs that can be used as police dogs, obedience and agility competitors, and take part in other activities. The breed is highly intelligent and is easy to train. However, obedience people may disagree that all Boxers are good in obedience. The fact is that the Boxer is always quick to grasp things and is easily bored by long repetitive obedience classes. Many Boxer owners who attempt to obedience train their dogs get disillusioned. This happens mostly because of inappropriate approach during training.

The clue to success seems to be in organizing short training sessions for the Boxer. The dog is very versatile and needs a lot of exercise. Try to teach a puppy some basic obedience commands during play. In this case, neither your dog, nor you will probably realize that you are doing an important job. Your dog will acquire both obedience skills and get much fun during this play.

Obedience training is essential to become a good canine citizen. Besides, you won't be able to do without it when training your Boxer for agility. The Boxer likes jumping and running and is easily carried away during agility training. Obedience is necessary to keep the dog under control. Actually, this is the major part of training. It is also necessary for Boxers that are involved in tracking and other activities.
