Boxer Training Tips: How to train your boxer not to run out of the house

Training your boxer puppy to not run out of the house is same as training any other dog to not run out the house. Trying your boxer puppy to stay inside unless told otherwise can be a bit difficult because they usually get excited about going out for walks. If you will stick to what you’re teaching your boxer puppy, you will train your puppy to not run out the house in without any problems.

First start off by putting on the leash on your dog and telling it to sit. You’re going to have to make your boxer puppy sit still until you tell it otherwise. When your boxer sits still you can now open the door. Your boxer puppy will try to pull you and run out of the house. This is where your leash will come in handy. Gently pull your puppy back and tell it to sit again. Keep your boxer puppy inside. It might be easier with two people, one holding the door and one holding the puppy.

Wait until your boxer has stopped trying to run out of the house and then proceed out the door yourself. Don’t let your boxer puppy follow after you. Remember that your boxer puppy can’t run out of the house unless you tell it to. If your boxer puppy tried to follow you outside, tell him to sit and wait until he is calm again.

Once you are outside and your boxer puppy is calm, you can now call him out. Give him a command that you will use constantly from now on that will mean for him to go outside. With my boxer dog I just say “Outside.” Once you say the command let your boxer puppy out of the house and go for a walk.

Keep repeating this until you do not need a leash to prevent your dog from running out. Eventually your dog will learn to wait for you to tell it “Outside” and wait.

Try not to ever let your dog out without your permission. This will tell the dog that it’s never ok to leave without your command.
