Boxers Work Well With Kids Boxers are gentle with children. Boxers love to play and are always ready for a romp or game, "...so make sure you have kids," said one owner. Introduce Boxer to children early, as this will bond Boxer and child together and help prevent jealousy from either one. You will find Boxer will be more protective towards that child it grew up with as well.

Some owners found their Boxers love to be around children more than adults. They are good-natured, accept friendly strangers and will calmly suffer pokes and prods of children. Boxers are also accepting toward other family pets.

One owner said: "My girl Boxer is wonderful to my daughter’s little half-rat terrier puppy. She lets very hyper puppy do whatever to her and they even sleep together."

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.
