My boxers are fairly laid back at this point. They get worked up when certain people are around or when the kids get home though. But its been a process. [Reply]

They have the WORST farts ever, prepare yourself.
My lab used to somehow get the insoles out of my shoes and chew the shit out of them, never chewed the shoe, I think he know I'd kill him.
I cured him by rubbing pepper juice on the bottom of the insoles on an old pair of shoes. I wore them to twist some wrenches and left them out for him, he never touched my shoes again.
Vet said he was bonding, I said he was getting ready to become a crate dog...We both laughed later because Wilbur will still leave the kitchen if I am chopping hot peppers.
I strongly recommend doing this to furniture you want to insure doesn't get chewed.
I don't recall him ever farting and he got small amounts of table scraps. Lots of fried egg yokes too. [Reply]
Your dog needs toys to destroy! Ham flavored nylon bones, leather chews, balls Heres a great list. but chewers and destructive dogs need toys and things that get your approval when they destroy them. Never let them chew bumpers or fetch batons but always give them something to go chill with and chew the ****out of after training like a big ass rope bone. When they get stinky, and they will, just toss em in the washer.
Taco Bell talking Chihuahua Toy? My lab will chew the shit out of anything with a squeaker in it but really thinks these are the real deal. He will rip off the eyes then rip off it's head and get the "talk box" out and growl and bark at it and when he finally breaks it he takes what's left the stuffed dog and puts it with his other toys.
He gets one for his Bday and Christmas or anytime my SO tells him to play bad ass. which is very seldom. She has him to where his his hair on his back will stand straight up, he'll growl, show his choppers, and bark like no other time. She tell him to do it when someone frightens her, such as when someone she isn't expecting comes to the door, It's ****ing hysterical as the dog wouldn't hurt a, well maybe a rabbit??? He knows to stay away from our
giant heron and only chases the geese and not the ducks.

She tell him to do it when someone frightens her, such as when someone she isn't expecting comes to the door, or onto the property. Wilbur is all cool one moment and crazy the next when she wants him to be. It's ****ing hysterical as Wilbur wouldn't hurt a, well, maybe a rabbit??? He knows to stay away from our Goliath Heron and he only chases the geese off the lagoon and not the ducks.
