Re: Desperate with boxer. Help needed

Clever boy :lol: try clipping a short lead onto his collar to get him off the sofa, as he is getting off give him a command for this then reward him when he has all 4 paws on the ground, eventually you will be able to say the command and he will get down. It hasn't been turned into a game when you ...

Re: Cesar Millan

Re: Desperate with boxer. Help needed

hey!! i've got a concern. We're doing pretty good for the few time we're on it. of course a loving "mother" talking on his lovely blues progress (or i gues it's more my own progress, i think he can understand me a bit better each time, so being less confused). the leash work it's in progre...
