I need to find a trainer/behaviourist to help us with Alfie. (He's now been with us just over a year now has fear aggression issues with dogs/people and is generally very reactive to any outside stimulus) I want to make sure that we get the right trainer/behaviourist as Alfie becomes easily stressed...

Your boy is getting frustrated and needs to be worn out - however being worn out doesn't necessarily mean exercise. Working with him doing obedience exercises can also wear him out mentally and can be an answer for you in the short term. I would say that you would benefit from some professional help...

It's my duty to as breeder to take any of my 'pups' back. I brought them into the world so if they need me at any time of their lives I hope that I can help out, (Mind you if they all suddenly needed to come home...yikes!! - thank goodness I've only had two litters) As his breeder I do feel like I f...

We have had one of our Boxer 'pups' returned. Alfie is almost 4 years old Boxer, he was castrated at 15 months old. He was returned to us towards the end of April as he had 'bitten' an elderly lady causing her hand to need stitches. However we never saw the elderly lady nor the injury so we can't co...

Would it be the Canny Collar?

If they do decide to give him up, I can put them in touch with a very good Boxer Rescue, I know the main person and seen her interacting with aggressive dogs, he was a lot worse that this one. Thanks but as his breeder he's ultimately my responsibility. I have found a Boxer trainer that is going to...

Help I have had contact with one of my dog's owners. I need to know if there are any reputable Dog Behaviourists in the Sussex area to assess him. When here in the nest he was fine no aggressive tendancies etc. His siblings have good temperaments as do his parents (mum was a stooge dog on IMOTD for ...

They said they've already done this - first thing I said when emailing Mel back

Boxers are as a breed prone to seperation anxiety. They don't do that well as 'kennel' dogs and they really do thrive on human companionship &/or other canine companions. Chewing is quite 'normal' in Boxers and can even go on til after 18 months old..they are also very good at demolition and gar...

Here's my Abby at Crufts, she'll be 7 years old in early July. She's being handled here by an International Junior Handler Sara Grad who is 14 from Slovenia. Her first handler and the one who chose to handle a Boxer was Dominika Suster from Slovakia, she was also 14 years old. They are in the Best I...

We'd love to see it Mel! :D Abby was at Crufts today :D She was being handled by a Slovakian young lady called Dominka Suster in the International Junior Handling competition. Sophs babies (Astra & Nora) and Abby were manning the Boxer stand at Discover Dogs at Crufts on Friday. We hope that one...

Anyone going to Crufts this year? If so and you are going on Friday....and in the morning Come say hi to the Boxers manning the Boxer stand at Discover Dogs.. You'll be able to see a greying brindle and white docked tail, a young red and white long tail and a red bobtail/naturally short tail. You'll...

Hi Mel, If I was you I'd also be checking to ask for a blood test and checking for thyroid issues if there is hair loss. Especially if there's no itching etc. As this is what one vet treated Abby for turns out she was hypothyroid. It almost ended up costing her life, as it affected her heart badly. ...

I always ask people that have a puppy from me to wait until they are mature before having them spayed/castrated and that means at least 12 months old. Some people have admitted that their vets do try to pressurise them to spay when very young. I find these two articles interesting http://www.canines...
