When they grow, they tend to become a little stubborn, so the sooner you start with housebreaking and obedience training, the better results you’ll get.
start training at an early age, before she gets the chance to develop bad habits.In most cases, you’ll be able to train your Boxer without too much effort, if you follow these simple rules: They can learn to work with the military, and are good guides for the blind. You just need to be patient and consistent, and results will appear gradually.īoxers are very intelligent and belong to the working group of dogs. But this doesn’t make them hard to train. Boxers are hard to trainīoxers need three years to become fully mature, which is why many people say they never grow up at all. In rare cases of selective breeding it has genetic causes, so there’s little chance of getting an aggressive dog if you buy her from a responsible breeder. In fact, they’re guard dogs, and your Boxer will always be ready to protect you or your family when needed – but they’re not going to attack anyone.Īggression can be normal in dogs and depending on what causes it, you’ll be able to solve the problem with training. However, there’s no reason to believe that Boxers are more aggressive than other breeds.ĭespite their imposing looks, with large heads and muscular bodies, Boxers are gentle dogs, with a friendly and playful temperament. The truth is that any dog can be aggressive, from Chihuahuas to German Shepherds, in the absence of proper training. This is probably what scares most potential dog owners. Boxers aren’t suitable for families with small children “We urge people to continue to take their usual safety measures while not reacting out of fear, but please do report any incidents or suspicious behaviour to us.
“The incident in Bynea is at present isolated in terms of an individual being targeted while walking their dog, and we have received no further reports. Inspector Shaun Bowen, of Dyfed-Powys Police, said: “We are aware that news of this incident is causing a high level of concern among dog owners in Llanelli and the surrounding area, some of whom are now fearful of walking their pets. Police say the men were described as one being in his 40s, around 6ft tall, of stocky build, and wearing light blue jeans and a dark puffer jacket and the other in his 20s, around 5ft 6in tall, and wearing similar clothing. But they saw a young pup and thought it’s worth the risk to have a go and take her.”ĭyfed Powys Police is said to be investigating the “extremely rare” incident. Mr Cosens added: “I think they’re probably more used to targeting the vulnerable - the elderly, children maybe. “Luckily for me and Rosie the guy that initially grabbed her was a little worse for wear and this ensured that we could move swiftly in the opposite direction”. During this, his friend hit me four or five times from behind, but I managed to stand up, grab the dog and start making my getaway. “He continued to struggle so I punched him twice more and managed to pull my dog out of his arms. The first punch I threw managed to floor the man holding Rosie, but he still had a tight grip on her so the altercation moved onto the floor. “In order to get away safely the only thing I felt I could do is hit first to try and have the element of surprise. “Fight and flight is a saying that gets thrown around pretty frequently, and I wanted to pick the flight option, but it wasn’t an option without my dog. “Even when he picked Rosie up, I didn’t really think too much of it because of the good natures of everyone we’ve met in the local area." But he added that once the man told him, ‘if you attempt to get your dog back I will stab you’, the alarm bells were "obviously ringing!" “I was of course scared, it felt like these guys had nothing to lose, attempting this at 1.30pm when there could potentially be many other walkers out and about to witness. Mr Cosens said: “I recently moved down here with my wife and son, at the end of July ready to re-open the pub after the initial lockdown, and everybody in this community that we have met has been so unbelievably welcoming and friendly.
