They are great cuddlers and funny how they sleep. I’m excited you found out how amazing the boxer bread is!!! Have fun.

My baby Duke used to pull as well but he listens so well now. It take time she is still a puppy and usually it takes up till 1yr for them to start fully obeying. They are loyal dogs and want to make you happy so just give her time. My friend gave me a clicker and I used it to train Duke with lots of patience. He listens now well and if he knows he upsets me or disappoints me he shows this sad face! Omg do I hate the sad face, my heart melts. Just keep her active with play dates or dog parks at 6-8 months. Be cautious because boxers are not aggressive and other dogs can be. Your baby will come around and you see how smart she is and how she wants to please you. But she will drive ya little insane until she gets little older. Good luck.

Oh I love your story! Boxers are very loyal and Loving. I don’t dought he wa brought your way to watch over your girl! Again loved your story and glad he is with a loving family

Sounds like you’re doing everything right. Reward her for good behavior. Do it every single time. Be consistent. I know your frustrated but any attention for your pup is good attention. Your pup picks up on your energy. Hope that helps.

Easy…don’t use the ceiling fans 🙂 – just kidding. Boxers are finicky, the fan is movement that may have startled him when he was younger as you stated. My boxer was afraid of our gate because one time it fell close to him. The experience is traumatic for him and he is probably experiencing anxiety about it. I would start by turning all your ceiling fans on very low, so that it moves very slowly. Enter the room with your boxer on a leash and have treats ready to positively reinforce the behavior. Walk into the room and around the room slowly while giving him treats for the reinforcement. This training will take time so make sure you practice this a few times a day for several days. As you see improvement, increase the speed of the fan (again while the boxer is not in the room). After you have master the skill, then while your boxer is in the room start the ceiling fan on slow- and reinforce. Again this will take a few days. You don’t want to startle your boxer with the ceiling fan at anytime, or you will need to begin the process over. Take your time, and keep us posted on how he does.

It all depends on the boxer and the level of energy. My Rosco needs the ability to run like a lunatic in the backyard, whereas my Daisy could do the house play and walks. You’d have to see how it goes. If you find a lot of naughty behaviors in the house (like chewing and getting into things) it is probably not enough exercise.
