When you first get your boxer puppy and begin your boxer training, you will most likely start off with teaching your boxer to sit down. It’s one of the simplest commands to train your boxer puppy to perform. All it requires is a treat and some time.

You start your boxer training by getting a treat and then getting your boxers attention. Hold the treat in your hand and hold it above your boxers head. Don’t hold it too high or your boxer puppy will jump up for it. Now keep repeating “sit” and move your hand back towards your boxer puppies back. This will get your boxer puppy to sit down.

Once your puppies butt hits the floor, praise him for the good work that he’s done. Keep doing this for about 20 minutes. Sometimes your dog will sit without you asking just to get a treat. When your boxer puppy starts doing that, stop the training and ignore your boxer puppy until he is busy with something else. Once he has forgotten all about the training and has something else on his puppy mind, get a treat and repeat the process.

When your boxer puppy has learned how to sit with a treat, try to do the same thing without one. If he just sits there with a blank face, keep up the boxer puppy training with the treat. Then when you think your boxer puppy understands the command, try to do it without a treat again.

Training your boxer puppy to sit is one of the easier commands and shouldn’t take you too long. Just remember to praise your puppy for obeying you every time he does.
