Summary: A couple problems
Review: After making a strong case that Boxers need specialized training, there seems to be little in it particular to the Boxer. I wonder if this is just an edit off one of the other Barron's books.

Two, the author pushes treats as training rewards, which many believe isnt the best.

Three, on some topics, like handling aggression, the author just punts - 'consult an expert.' Not very helpful.

All in all, I prefer the Monks of New Skeet, and "The Art of Raising a Puppy."

Summary: Surprised!!!
Review: I bought a lot of dog training books. I thought it could be trained with a Boxer too. But now I know that Boxers respond very diffrently than any other dog. This book is written by a Boxer lover who knows the Boxer breed inside out, better than anyone else. I thought it was going to be those ol' chapter books with barely any demonstration picutres, but when I opened it up, I was surprised at how easy it is to understand how to take care of a Boxer. I'm still waiting for a Boxer of this person that I know to be sold. The little pup has just been born last week, and I live in NE. And the Nebraska law says that dogs can only be sold at the age of 8 weeks minimum. I have to research and know how to deal with Boxers before I get one to really make this Boxer a true, and happy gentlemen in my house. I have experience with some Boxers before, and I use to think they were the aggressive American Bulldog types because of the look, but now I found out that it is really a gentle clown deep in heart. I just love the Boxer more than any other breed in the world. A fun family dog, a formidable guard dog, a gentle children side kick all in one dog: The Boxer. If you plan on owning a Boxer, thinking about owning a Boxer, or already owning a Boxer, this is something you MUST read if you want a good Boxer dog.

Review: I think this is a great source of info for training your boxer. It also deals with breed history and proper care, it's not all training. If I were to choose just one book to deal with all aspects of the Boxer this would be it. Lots of pictures and lots of info. I also got the German Shepherd training book and was kind of expecting a lot of the information to overlap, but it didn't. It was written by a Boxer lover, not just some dog lover.

Summary: SOOOO EASY
Review: This book is full of pleasant, easy, it just makes sense ideas. I have a 5 year old daschund that has barked at the door bell/knocker since she was a pup. With the suggestions in this book, she is loosing that habit after just 3 days of positive reinforcement training. What a relief.
