But boxer dogs doesn't always live a life of vitality; they
too, experience bad days and even get sick. Since a boxers'
basic needs are a set of nutritional food, water and exercise in

elements can cause their health to falter. In terms of food

before letting him out to mingle with other breed of dogs.
Another thing that you should look out for is the changing
weather conditions. Excessive heat or cold can cause health
problems to your dog, so do the best you can not to expose them

faking it. They can communicate freely with you and just sits
with you during your most quiet moments.
Boxers also have an annoying habit.

seem to get upset at them. But when their young, boxers most
especially; have a habit of biting almost anything that they
come across with. Though this is a natural ability and way how
they response to their surroundings, it's better that you keep
them company while they are out and about as they explore their
surroundings. Never let them out unsupervised. The thing with

to put them in a crate. Put toys as well so they don't get bored
easily. There is a possibility though, that even on toys, boxer

could mean that biting arms, hands, feet and even chewing on
your bare skin could become a habit.
Never yell at your dog.
Since boxer dogs are an intelligent breed, you can train them
early on about when to bite and when not to. The key is for you
not to scold and yell at them when they continue to chew or bite
other things aside from what is given to them. Make sure that
you are firm in letting them understand that there are different
ways of biting. Simply stop playing with them or return your
boxer dog to his crate when he starts his biting habit. Do this
repetitively and when he is already able to get an idea of what
you are trying to do, praise him. Any dog, when praised loves to
obey just to hear you praise them again.
