A simple enrichment acivity, that will not only engage your Boxers but also boost their confidence. It's an essential aspect of enrichment many might not consider. 🤔
Begin with a simple setup: a few bottles in a pool and plenty of treats 🍖.
As your Boxer gets used to it, up the challenge. The goal is to create positive, fun experiences that bolster their confidence.

❗️Don't Train your Boxer a "Boring" Sit ❗️
The key to training Boxers successfully lies in movement, motivation, and fun! Teaching sit or down in the traditional way is boring, but if you inject energy and creativity, you can achieve sharp and perfect positions while keeping your Boxer happy and focused.
📣 Check out Khaleesi! Not only does she disengage gracefully from other dogs, but she ignores all distractions in a completely new environment. Her focus is solely on me, and she's clearly having a blast during our training sessions!
🔥 Movement Is Essential: Boxers are full of energy and thrive on activity. To keep your Boxer connected with you and eagerly anticipating the next command, DON'T be still!
If you don't want your Boxer to pull towards a person or dog, DON'T be still
If you want reliable recall response, DON'T be still
Movement helps build focus and enthusiasm, resulting in a reliable response and overall improved behaviours.
💪 Stay Motivated: Training isn't just about teaching obedience; it's about creating a bond where you and your Boxer look forward to every session. The more joy and energy you bring to training, the stronger that connection becomes. Boxers love positive reinforcement and high-energy interaction, so make each session as thrilling and playful as possible.
Remember, the more fun and movement you incorporate, the more successful your training will be.
Let's bring enthusiasm into every session and build that amazing connection! 🤩

A Wagging Tail Doesn't Always Mean a Happy Dog!
Dog's body language is very complex. We shouldn't only look at one part of the body.
Dogs use their tails to communicate, express arousal, and for balance. Also, some breeds use their tails differently than other dogs.
If we are trying to understand our dog's emotions, we need to look at their whole body and what is happening around them.
The tail position, movement speed, and direction will vary when a dog is happy, relaxed, scared, overexcited, or in a protective mode.
For example, my Boxer, Mia, wags her tail more when she is frightened, stressed, overexcited, or working than when she’s expressing happiness. When she is happy, it shows in her face, head, body position, and the way she is approaching.
💡 Pro tip: If you're ever unsure about how your dog feels around someone or something, give them space. It's always better to play it safe!

Coming when called isn't just a nice-to-have - it could literally save your Boxer's life.
But let's be real... getting them to actually come back can feel like mission impossible sometimes! 😅
If your recall attempts feel more like shouting into the void, you might be making some of these super common mistakes...
