How to Train A Boxer Dog
There are different ways for every other owner to treat their pets. Today we will discuss some of the ways you can use to ensure that your boxer dog does not jump.
When your dog tends to jump on other people, you should ask someone to train your dog if you don’t have any luck. That someone can be any person to whom your dog listens. The trainer should begin by commanding your dog to sit and stand. It is better if you act yourself when training the dog.
When the dog responds to the command, you can reward your dog with treat or anything it likes.
When you encounter your dog jumping on you when you come home, you should opt for specific techniques to train your dog. When you enter, and your dog jumps on you, you can turn back, ignore your dog and leave. When you do the same twice or more, your dog will eventually learn that it will only get attention when it is on four feet.
If your dog jumps on you while standing, use the same technique as you did before. If you are sitting in your lounge and your dog jumps on you, then stand up and ignore your dog. Repeat this action as many times as your dog does the same. Your pet will eventually learn that jumping is not an excellent way to grab attention. Instead, staying on four feet is the best way to do so.

Although training a pet, especially a dog, is difficult, through consistent effort, you can train your dog well and allow it to grab your attention through other ways than jumping.
