People wrongly think reward-based training is all about food.
No, it's about finding and using rewards your Boxer dog finds reinforcing according to the situation.

The Boxer Witch idea came to me after hearing so many horrid stories about the state of dogs returning from boarding kennels while their families were away.

Going on holiday shouldn’t be a stressful experience for people or their Boxers. That’s exactly why I started offering the home boarding and training service.

Basically, I come to your place and stay with your Boxer while you’re away. No stress of leaving them in a new location. I care for them the way I’d want my own dogs to be cared for, and I train with them daily.

We work on any issues previously discussed, build skills, and provide mental enrichment.

Within just a few weeks of launching this service earlier this year, I was fully booked for 2025. I’ve only got a couple of slots left for next year and I've already had a couple of booking for 2027!

It means so much to know how many of you trust me with your Boxers. This isn’t something I can do full time - it’s just a little extra on the side, but I absolutely love it 🥰

To everyone who’s booked me: thank you 🙏
And thank you for the lovely reviews!

You might have heard that limited access to toys is better for dogs. Some say constant access reduces interest in play, leads to overstimulation, or makes your dog spoiled. Others believe toys should only come from you, not randomly found around the house.

While these may apply to some breeds, in my experience, Boxers must have access to toys, it comes under 'basic needs' category. Play helps combat boredom and gives them something to do. I actually recommend teaching your Boxer the word "toy." This way, when you get home or they’re feeling energetic, you can send them to grab a toy instead of dealing with jumping, barking, or chaos. It's much better than shouting 'no!'

Boxers love fun, so let them have the right tools for the party - it will save your furniture and dog beds too! I suggest having a variety of toys, and even rotating them every couple of weeks to keep things fresh. A box with daily-use toys and high-value training toys for out-and-about activities is ideal.

Just ensure toys are the right size to avoid choking hazards. And if you have multiple dogs and resource guarding issues, please reach out to a good trainer for help.

Let’s see your Boxer's toy box in the comments!

14 months later, we're finally on the right track with Chance's diet.
When I found her, it was a miracle she was still alive. At 12 years old, she was just skin and bones.

I’m a big advocate for feeding the best-quality, fresh diet. Since taking in Chance, I’ve tried three times to transition her to raw food. The first time, her tummy couldn’t cope. The second time was the same. On the third attempt, she didn’t even want to eat it.

I’m not new to raw feeding—my own dogs are on a fresh diet, and all my previous fosters have successfully transitioned to raw. I spend a lot of time learning about canine nutrition. But with Chance, it was different… and difficult.

I hated that she was on a poor-quality, ultra-processed diet. Many people just stick with whatever a dog will eat or vet recommendation without doing a proper research or thinking about the long-term effects. But a healthy diet prevents illnesses, boosts the immune system, and can add years to a dog’s life. And after everything she’s been through, Chance deserves the best last years of her life.

Before she could tolerate a rich and healthy diet, I had to help her gut heal and recover. Most of this was done using the right supplements and natural products. Her digestive system had been under serious strain—not just from starvation, but also from stress.
Being constantly hungry is stressful. Being mistreated is stressful. Spending days, months, even years in the same environment is stressful.

Providing safety, regular meals, new happy experiences, enrichment, play, and love helped remove that mental stress—and that, in turn, supported a healthier microbiome.

Two months ago, I reintroduced fresh food into Chance’s diet. Very slowly, I started replacing the rubbish kibble with raw food, while continuing to support her gut with good bacteria and supplements.

Today, Chance is 100% raw fed—and she’s loving it!

Going through this process was incredibly stressful for me. I just wanted the best for her, but we hit so many bumps along the way. I’m so glad I stuck to my beliefs and didn’t give up.
In the last few days, her coat is shinier, she’s sleeping better, she is more affectionate, no stinky wind or big smelly poos.

I’m really happy with the outcome. 😍

She was reactive towards people and dogs.
She barked at the doorbell and out the window.
She got frightened by noisy vehicle and didn’t want to walk by a busy road.
She used to pull on the lead.
She was lacking confidence.

She is Marni. 💖

She is now much more confident and relaxed :)
She doesn’t react much anymore, and taking her for a walk is a pleasure.
She walks by the 'scary' road like nothing ever happened.
On top of that, she’s doing great with a massive routine change – a new baby in the family!
She’s even showing off how well-trained she is when her Doberman cousin is around. And she’s loving training! ❣

She is our June Boxer of the Month winner! 🏆

I adore watching Marni’s training sessions – not only because she’s so clever, but also because both her parents, Sheena and Tony, are clearly having great fun working with their girl.
And that’s what training should be – fun, enjoyable, and full of progress.

Very well done to Marni and her parents! It’s beautiful to watch how you’ve overcome everything together. 🥰

Throwback to the very first Bombproof Boxer Workshops!

Just 4 months after launching the Training Club, I got to meet some of our founding members in person and see how much they'd already achieved in such a short time 🐾💥☺

So much has changed since then.

The Training Library is now packed with everything a Boxer owner could need to overcome any struggle. Every year, more and more people join us - learning, growing, and building unbreakable bonds with their dogs.

And the friendships formed through Bombproof Boxer?
Honestly, they’re for life 💛

With how much the club has grown, I don’t get to run in-person workshops as often anymore…
But our 7-day summer camp is tradition - and it’s exactly what I’m preparing for right now! I can’t wait to see everyone in Scotland in just a few weeks 🥰

Watching Chance (13 years old) today as she discovered what swimming is - and how hard she tried to retrieve her toy, even when it meant pushing out of her comfort zone - made me reflect on confidence and resilience.

It’s heartbreaking how often Boxers become less and less confident. And that lack of confidence is behind so many behavioural struggles: reactivity, barking, overarousal, noise sensitivity, difficulty adapting to change, and even trust issues.

People often see 'a problem' and look for a quick fix. But real change comes from understanding what’s going on underneath. Many of my clients don’t even realise their Boxer is struggling with confidence until they watch one of my lessons or we chat about it.

The good news? Confidence can be built. There are so many brilliant games and exercises that grow resilience, help your Boxer feel more secure, and allow them to approach life with calmness, bravery, and curiosity.

With confidence comes the ability to learn, deepen the relationship, improve mental and physical health, and support your Boxer’s overall wellbeing.

Confidence is the biggest gift you can give your Boxer 🫶

A while ago, I spoke at a summit for dog owners all about confidence.
