When you're housebreaking a boxer puppy, it is very important that you start out right if you want to succeed.
Not only will this help your puppy, but it will also help you because, let's face it, coming home to a stinky, smelly, gross surprise on your floor is not something you want to see, or clean up for that matter.
So instead of shampooing your carpet over and over to get rid of that smell, start housebreaking your boxer right away, meaning the very first day you bring him home for the first time.
To start housebreaking a boxer puppy right, you need a good plan of action and a lot of doggy treats! Since boxers are a very intelligent breed, they often respond well to training, and in most cases will learn it in a short time providing you are persistent and do it every day.
You should avoid training them for more then 15 to 20 minutes at a time since they do have a short attention span when they are a puppy, and will soon become bored and not pay attention to you.
When you start housebreaking, it is important to take your puppy outside everyday at the same time.
This will help get him into a routine and while you will have to do it every hour or so when they are young, once your pup gets a little older and can hold it longer you won't have to take him out as much.
You should also feed your boxer at the same time every day, and not leave food in his bowl to eat whenever he wants because your pup will have to go to the bathroom right after he eats food and you want him to be outside when he does it.
Remember that persistence and patients are important to and if you can master those, your boxer will be housebroken in no time.
