A Look at Training Your Boxer:The Training Your Dog Series
"Training Your Boxer:The Training Your Dog Series", is one of a collection of breed specific dog training books published by Barron's Books.
If it has four legs and a tail, or two legs and feathers, or fits in a home aquarium, there's a Barron's book to help you understand and care for it.
The "Training Your Dog Series" offer guides written for owners of German Shepherds, Rottweilers, Beagles, Boxers, Labrador Retrievers, and Pit Bulls.
Of these six breeds, Labradors, German Shepherds, and Beagles are perennial members American Kennel Club's Ten Most Popular Breeds.
So there would, or course, be a market for books about how to train them.
Rottweilers and Pit Bulls? It's not too hard, given their often undeserved reputations, to understand why there would be a need for books about how to train them, either.
But the fearless, smart, energetic and comic Boxer, subject of "Training Your Boxer: The Training Your Dog Series" is the only dog to make both lists.
One of the AKC's Ten Most Popular Breeds, at #7 in 2006, Boxers are often confused, by those unfamiliar with dogs, for Mastiffs or Pit Bulls.
And it is true that an untrained Boxer can be one of the canine set's most destructive forces.
But the Boxer breed is notably non-violent.
Its destructive tendencies, when aroused, surface out of boredom and a need to release its overflowing energy.
And any Boxer training manual, to be effective, will have to be written by someone who understands the nature of the Boxer beast.
Joan Hustace Walker, author of "Training Your Boxer:The Training Your Dog Series", seems to understand it very well.
"Training Your Boxer:The Dog Training Series" is not only a training guide.
It offers the Boxer owner information on the Boxer breed's history and the personality quirks unique to Boxers which make them the marvelous people-loving dogs they are.
The book is loaded with photos which make the techniques crystal-clear.
And all the training techniques in "Training Your Boxer:The Training Your Dog Series" are based on positive reinforcement.
That's crucial, because Boxers are not only intelligent; they have a very high pain threshold, so trying to get tough with them will get you nowhere.
Let your Boxer know it is doing well, on the other hand, and you will have a happy, obedient dog.
"Training Your Boxer"The Training Your Dog Series"covers everything from housebreaking and socializing your new puppy to teaching it the five basic commands every dog should obey, "Come", "Heel", "Sit', "Down", and "Stay.
"It also has chapters on learning tricks, how to control your Boxer's aggressive instincts, and competitive and non-competitive activities which will keep you Boxer both busy and tired.
