Also, if this dog is as aggressive at chewing as you say, maybe they need to keep a leash on him at all times and do some behavior modification when he tries to chew on something that is inappropriate. Chewing can also be a sign of boredom. Maybe he needs a job to keep his attention focused on. Boxers are one of my favorite breeds. I love them to pieces but they do take a lot of time and patience. |
thank you for responding!
My daughter and son in law are CONSTANTLY walking,running, playing and giving him toys to chew....unfortunately he like to chew everything else as well...I also told my daughter he sounds bored but, she doesn't know what to do anymore...they love him to pieces but are at their wits ends with this...which I can't say I blame them...They had put him in doggie day care to see if this would help...He didn't get a very good report card!!LOL..He didn't last there very long...He is only 2 yrs old too...maybe he will calm down in another year.......or 2?...
