Teach your boxer puppy to "Leave it," by placing a small treat in your hand and pretending to offer it to him. When he comes for the treat, close your hand quickly over it, and put your hand behind your back, saying, "Leave it!" in a stern voice. When he starts to walk away, call him back, and offer him the treat again. Repeat the "Leave it!" command and remove the treat from his reach. The next time you offer him the treat, place it at your feet, and call him. When he starts to head toward the treat, say, "Leave it!" and place your foot over the treat. When he backs away, change your tone to a pleased one, and say, "OK, take it," allowing him to eat the treat. Do this several times until he anticipates being rewarded for leaving the treat alone.
