Dog Training

Us boxers are a very active dog, but are perfect companion for our owners, but I must warn you we lead an active life style! Apart from being incredibly attractive, our other qualities are we are extremely energetic, social, inquisitive, and loyal; but we constantly behave like puppies. We also make good protectors and watch dogs. My parents would tell you as a breed we are also stubborn, especially when it comes down to training.

So it would be best to start this as soon as you can, they say become an Alpha pack leader straight away. I say let them think it! To manage any dog it is best to get involved with a good training club, and make sure you go regularly and then we will eventually be a good companion for the family.

Kentou, Tenjin and I used to attend a great club in Hurworth, and now Suki will be as well. Kentou doesn't train that often now as he is old and  can't walk far, but Suki is being put through her paces. Anyhow the club is called:

Skernedale Dog Training Club (Kennel Club registered)

They run classes every Thursday Evenings at the Hurworth Grange Community Centre. They cover Beginners Obedience, Intermediate and Advance Training. If you want to know more about them and find out how to enrol then please phone:
