Boxer Training

Do you have a Boxer that needs some training help? Natalie from Crazy Kind Calm dog training can help!

With over 900 dogs trained across the Macedon Ranges, Natalie understands the unique personality and needs that come with this wonderful breed.

Boxers are playful, energetic dogs with expressive faces and enormous hearts. They're natural clowns who stay puppy-like well into adulthood — which is both their greatest charm and their biggest training challenge.

Common Boxer traits and training needs

  • Extremely slow to mature — puppy-like behaviour can last three years or more
  • High energy with a bouncy, physical play style that includes jumping and pawing
  • Can be reactive and vocal on lead, especially towards other dogs
  • Mouthy breed — uses their paws and mouth during play and greetings
  • Prone to separation anxiety and can become destructive when left alone
  • Stubborn about things they don't want to do, but willing when properly motivated

Boxer owners know they have the class clown of the dog world. Your Boxer probably bounces off furniture, greets everyone with their entire body, and acts like a puppy long after they should have grown out of it. If your Boxer is jumping on visitors, play-biting, or turning every walk into a wrestling match, that's the breed being the breed. Their playful, people-loving nature makes training a joy once you channel all that energy.

"Nat was fabulous with our anxious rescue border collie. We learnt a lot and our training notes have given us recommendations for us to work on in between visits. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Nat!"

"We adopted a rescue dog and whilst she is very cute we knew from the onset that she would need work which is why we went to Natalie. Through the session we were able to work on some strategies to help improve behaviour and remove the anxiety out of interacting with other people/animals whilst out and about. It's been approximately a month now since our session and we can see a noticeable difference in behaviour and we continue to see improvements on a daily basis. My biggest learning was to be realistic about the experience. Things will get better in very slow, little increments. Be diligent and temper your expectations. I keep reminding myself of this and it has really changed the relationship I have with our dog. I'm excited to see her develop even further into the dog I know she can be - all thanks to Natalie."
