Your Happy Healthy Pet

30-minute large-breed training DVD contains bonus material specifically for your Boxer!
Dog behavioral trainer Peggy Moran shows you how proper training makes your best friend a Happy Healthy Pet for life.

The Boxer is a lover—not a fighter. Her sensitivity is astonishing and her eyes are almost human in their expression. She is devoted, fearless, and ready to defend her family. But the Boxer can also be a clown—she loves to romp and play, and her goofy personality will never cease to make you laugh. The Boxer makes a wonderful family pet, but her innate strength and natural tendency to leap require an owner who is willing to teach her the manners she needs to reach her full potential.

Packed with full-color photographs, this fun and practical guide gives you everything you need to make your relationship with your best friend even better. Inside, you'll find:

• Characteristics to look for when choosing a Boxer

• A list of supplies you'll need before you bring her home

• Advice on grooming, feeding, and training

• A reproducible pet-sitter chart to keep track of important information

A bonus DVD shows you that educating your Boxer positively is easier and more fun than you think. You'll learn how to teach your furry friend basic commands and tricks, correct inappropriate behaviors, and understand her unique personality.
