Sherwood Needs LSBR  |
Sherwood came to Lone Star Boxer Rescue emaciated, scared, with demodex mange and not socialized. He is a young but aims to please. Sherwood has yet to learn how to be a well mannered dog but he is ready to learn. Experienced dog owners please apply!
Today, Sherwood looks like this, as you can see he has come a long way. We'd love to find him a foster home or his forever home, email us for more info at info@LSBR.org.

Can Your Boxer Ring a Bell? By Ann Callan
Want a fun, practical way to teach your dog to let you know when they need to potty? It's easy. Teach your dog to ring a bell at the back door.
First, purchase either a bell that can be rung by tapping it or a bell that hangs from your door knob. I prefer the bell you tap, like the kind you find in the doctor's office. You can order this from 1800PetMeds.com.
Next, choose a word that means "potty" to your dog. I use "outside".
Say to your dog "outside" and when your dog comes to the back door, take their paw and tap the bell. If using a hanging bell, gently push their nose into the bell until it rings. Then give your dog a small treat. Repeat ringing the bell several more times and then take your dog outside to potty. Reward your dog again when they potty.
Follow this same procedure every time your dog needs to go outside to potty. Before you know it, your dog will be be ringing the bell on their own to communicate when they "have to go".
