Many times during training their boxers, owners forget about the importance of punishing your boxer. By punishing I do not mean hitting your dog but simply saying “Bad Dog.” If you keep consistent with your boxer training, your dog will learn that the term “Bad Dog” isn’t a good thing and he should stop what he is doing immediately.

When you first begin training your boxer, you might want to sound sterner when you say it since dogs respond to the tone of the voice quicker in the beginning than to the actual words you are saying because they still don’t understand what they mean. So every time your boxer is doing something inappropriate let him or her know that you don’t appreciate that kind of behavior.

The term “Bad Dog” is just an example. You can replace that word with any other the suit your needs. They key to training your boxer is consistency and not the word. So if you begin training your boxer with the term “Bad Dog,” you better stick with it.

The reason it is important in proper boxer training to establish a word for when you are not happy is because it helps you communicate with your boxer easier. And if you want a well trained boxer, then communication is what you should strive for.

Boxers are curious creatures and sometimes get into things they shouldn’t. If you were consistent with your “Bad Dog” term, or any other which you have chosen, then you will have no problem letting know your well trained boxer that what he is doing might lead him in a bit trouble and you want him to stop immediately.
