In their native Germany, Boxers were once used as guard dogs, police dogs, and war dogs. Probably from the breed's tendency, when fighting or play-fighting, to rear up on his hind legs and spar with his front paws like a prizefighter. I give you my honest opinions about Boxer temperament and personality traits and characteristics – positives AND negatives – in my dog breed review, Boxer Temperament and Personality Traits (What's Good About 'Em, What's Bad About 'Em). Very individualistic, from "loves everyone" to protective from energetic to calm from clownish to dignified stubborn and strong-willed but responsive to persistent leadership, snorts/drools/farts The most descriptive words that come to my mind regarding Boxer temperament and behavior are:
If you live in my own area I would be very pleased to help with strategies tailored to your own dog (see my Help page).What kind of temperament and personality does the Boxer have? One size does not fit all so accurate assessment is important, particularly where aggression of any kind is involved.

The precise protocols to best use for your own dog may be different to the approaches I have worked out for Blue and Sebastian. Finding instructions on the internet or TV that are not tailored to your own dog can do more harm than good as the case needs to be assessed correctly. For the sake of the story and for confidentiality also, this isn’t a complete ‘report’ with every detail, but I choose an angle with maybe a bit of poetic licence. Splitting up a St.Bernard fighting a large Boxer is no joke. I sincerely hope that this works and that the two dogs, like some humans, do not now hate each other to the extent they simply can’t live together. Now, with a calmer environment, some rules in place and muzzles accepted, they need to work at re-introducing the dogs bit by bit, initially just walking one past the other a few times on lead at home, interrupting any eye-balling, along with parallel walking techniques out in the open. Sebastian will probably get his off and eat it! However, Harry is the main aggressor and does the most damage. Meanwhile, so that the humans will be able to relax when the rehabilitation process begins, both dogs will be introduced to muzzles in such a way that over the next two or three weeks they will learn to welcome them and happily be able to spend some time muzzled. We are working on the humans creating as calm an atmosphere as possible. I suspect a cocktail of doggy personalities, over-excitement, stress and teenage testosterone. Not having witnessed the fighting, I have to guess what triggers it. He people are incredibly patient and doing everything they can possibly find to remedy the situation between their beloved dogs, but are naturally extremely worried and wonder whether it will ever end. In order to keep the two dogs separate means constantly moving dogs about the house like chess pieces, two in the garden while the third comes downstairs, one in the utility room while two are fed elsewhere, two upstairs while the third is let out into the garden – and so on. One-year-old Great Dane Harry is a calmer dog, but is now an adolescent challenging Sebastian, and there is a lot of testosterone flying about. The ingredients seem to a mix of Blue, who keeps out of the way, but generally hypes up the atmosphere with excessive barking and anxiety especially if the lady of the house is out of sight, and Sebastian who tends to be over-excitable. The problem now with Harry and Sebastian is that their entry level is hackles, snarling and FIGHT. I personally nip in the bud boisterous play between my own dogs the minute it looks like getting out of hand with any body-slamming or ‘hunting down’. The situation seemed to come out of the blue, but in hindsight the unchecked play between the two dogs was becoming extreme and should have been a warning sign. Since then, as soon as they have come into each other’s presence there has been a big fight and damage, especially to Sebastian. Things seemed to go very well until about four weeks ago when the St.Bernard and the Boxer had their first big fight. Then, about a year ago, they added Harry, a St.Bernard, to the mix. Great Dane Blue and Boxer Sebastian lived happily together with their owners.īoth dogs have their own traits – Blue is a bit needy probably due to health issues when he was a puppy, and Sebastian is very exuberant.
