Would an irresponsible owner really be researching obscure articles on how to prolong their dog's life in the first place?

Yup, obedience training would help alot. I have a Boxer puppy and I live in a small apartment. If he is feeling silly, we train and he loves it! He loves the "touch game." I have a feeling that the Dane just needs to get it out of her system. There has to be a dog park nearby you, right? I...

Exercise. Tired puppies = well behaved puppies. :) The dog park, long walks, the beach (if you have one near you), and hikes are all great options.

Our last Boxer was eating TotW and doing really well on it, as was my boyfriend's mom's dog. Both had great shiny, soft coats and plenty of energy, but not "stupid energy," as can happen with Boxers. With my Boxer puppy, I wanted to start him on a grain-free large breed puppy kibble and the...

I recently trained my Boxer puppy to ring a bell and it was ridiculously easy. I attached a bell to a string and hung it on the dog while my pup watched. He immediately walked up at touched it with his nose. I praised and we went outside and I told him to "hurry up." He didn't within a...

Gorgeous dogs! Makes me miss my dobermans. :( Our home insurance company passed a new rule many years ago stating that they were "dangerous" and we would not be able to carry our current insurance if we got any new dobermans, so we didn't. Fantastic dogs, though.

I would view this situation just as I would viewing training a dog. If my dog is chewing on the couch, I don't say, "No chewing on the couch!" and then leave them be. They would just keeping chewing because they don't see any other way around it. Rather, I would say, "No," and give 'em a nice...

My mom and I breed Korats and, yes, there is testing to be done for cats, too. While I'm not a Persian breeder, so I don't know what they are susceptible to, we test our cats for GM1 and GM2 which are the only prevalent, testable diseases in our breed. I only know that Korats are some of the...

I live with my boyfriend and our Boxer plus my rooommate and her mutt. While both are similar in age (ours is actually several months younger), he is not completely potty trained, begs, jumps on people, and will bark INCESSANTLY when placed into his crate. While our pup isn't perfect (he is...

People are silly. White Boxer = Dalmation and/or Bull dog cross Flashy Boxer = purebred Boxer Plain Boxer = Pit cross All three were from similar lines.

I used to have a white boxer and this woman was convinced the she was a dalmation-boxer cross. I tried to explain that I have her mother, watched the conception and helped with the labour, which included two flashies and another white. She corrected me again and said that I shouldn't be...

What are some things that you look for when choosing a coach for yourself and your dog(s)? After doing some research, I have found three agility places in our area (woohoo!). One is a club, but has no instructors listed. The other two appear to be more structured dog schools. Canine...

Hey there! I recently heard rave reviews about this forum and decided to join. My name is Suzie and my boyfriend and I recently acquired a Boxer puppy named Tobi who has been an absolute joy. I have been involved in horses since 4 years of age and have loved having a connection with my...
