my friends dog is a boxer, its totaly nuts (runs into walls and stuff)

I had a puppy...a Boxer, Pit Bull mix , waaay back in the day....maybe 1981 or so, appropriately named Ozzy. That dog tore up everything! Garden hoses, patio furniture, shrubs and plants, shoes, you name it..., he ate it. the dog was un-trainable. What a pain in the ass! My parents hated that dog.

Anyway, one day I went out to visit my girlfriend and when I got back the dog was gone. While checking the yard I noticed the gate was open. It was strange because the gate was always locked. I was sad but kinda relieved in a way because the dog was such a Hellion. I never did find the dog or figure out how the gate was left open. I think my parents were fed up and got rid of him while I was out and told me he'd run away.

I've had a few dogs, most were lovable and well behaved. But not Ozzy. That dog was the worst. never get a Boxer-Pit Bull mix.

I agree with Alex about the mind games, also big walks, they don't have to be too big I live near a steep hill I stand at the top throw her ball far away to the bottom she fetches it and covers miles all up and down hill.

Geting her tired seems to help and she feels wanted and useful.

i know a man who throws balls with the aid of a tennis racket...

needless to say they go a long way and the dogs deffineatly get a lot of exercise.

Had a boxer, a black lab/terrier mix, and a dalmation. The boxer was a great joy. Although, he had hip problems due to genetics & getting hit by a car, he was a great dog. The black lab/terrier mix was so ugly she was cute. Very loyal. When my dad died, we thought the dog would grieve to death. She always ran to the door when she heard a car door close, as she thought my dad was coming home from the hospital. The dog got attached to me. Lived to be about 13 years old. Not one obedience class, and she could be taken outside without a leash and obey basic commands.
The dalmation was one goofy, stupid dog. She was very hyper, especially after the mix died. She really wasn't as stupid as we thought. She dug out of the yard one day, and I was driving home. I saw the dog a block away, and she saw me. She took off in a flash, got in the backyard, and was looking out of the gate as if to say "I've been here the whole time. You didn't see me down the block." And this after a year of obedience training as a pup! We wound up giving her to a man that has several acres of land for her to run in.
Anyway, training should help, as long as you stick with it. If you have a park or someplace large to run, that should help too.
