DOG FAQ - How old should my Boxer puppy be before I start training ?

Boxer puppies start (learning) training the minute they are born but training by human intervention can start as soon as the puppy gets to your home for example The "SIT/STAY", most Boxer puppies love their food and will sit in great aniticipation of being fed..so while getting the food ready give out the command, "sit stay"....good dog, when you put the dish down, command, "take it" ...good dog, as the puppy gets older stretch out the time period. (The three P's of training, Persistance, Perseverance, and most important *Praise*. Also remember, a Boxer puppy has a very short attention span). Puppy school is a very good idea with a Boxer, being around other dogs and breeds at an early age is a must and helps eliminate the Boxer natural tendencies to belligerency, which should not be confused with aggression.
