- Guard your Boxer from fleas.

- Your Boxer has fleas if you find black specks in fur or fleabite marks on skin. A tip given by an owner is to give your Boxer garlic daily to prevent fleas.

- Boxers catch fleas from other animals. It is an every day problem that, at some time or another, you can expect to encounter in your Boxer.

- The fleas only go to Boxer to feed on its blood.

- Fleas mostly live and multiply in your home. The comfortable living - central heating, double-glazing and, best of all, fitted carpet - we create for ourselves and our Boxers also work best for fleas.

- De-worm your puppy every month and your adult Boxer, every six months.

If you really have to spank one with your hand, just slap him across behind.

Repetition and Rewards: Repetitions are a crucial aspect of any dog's training. You should always reward them for doing something right while training. The more often he is rewarded, better and quicker he will learn. Create situations where your dog can get plenty of practice at doing right things.

Be sure to praise and love on him when he does a good job. This is simple but not always easy to do. Bad behaviors like biting, constant yelping and barking and tearing house apart get our immediate notice. What we easily forget to acknowledge are good parts - when dog is lying down quietly, chewing on his own toys, leaving carpet unsoiled.

Praise and reward are most important part of maintaining your dog's good behavior and preventing him from getting into trouble.

Dog Toys, Games and Treats: Foods, treats or praise will bring out best responses from your dogs during training.

Treats can come in form of their favorite food, toy or something they really love to do.

Some favorite treats are ice cream, cheese, ham and chicken. One Boxer dog even fancies a handful of ice cubes to crunch on though he's not thirsty. Test human food treats a little at a time though, because some dogs can be sensitive to certain things. Milk products for instance, can give a puppy diarrhea.

The all time dog favorites of fetching, tug-of-war, and hide and seek games can be made more treasured using your dog's favorite ball or toy, and giving him plenty of stroking in between throws.
