How Smart Is The Boxer Breed?
The Boxer is a very smart dog. Boxers respond well to positive reinforcement training and are very eager to please their owners. Their bright and alert character makes them great problem solvers. Boxers enjoy being challenged.
Boxers may not be as smart as people claim. Boxers rank #90 out of #138 breeds in intelligence according to one study. The willful and free thinking nature of the Boxer is not taken into account by this study.
The response rate and repetition are measured in the study. Boxers may respond slower in tests if they question whether they want to follow the commands or not. The willful side of the Boxer is referred to as stubborn.
Are Boxers Easy To Potty Train?
Boxer puppies are easy to potty train. Boxers have been described as being very clean and easy to train for potty training. The potty training process can be aided by creating the right routines, environments, and reward systems at an early age.
A dog is a creature of habit. Puppies understand a routine before they understand anything else. Having a consistent routine of when you take your puppy for a potty break will greatly increase your chances of success.
When it comes to potty training your Boxer puppy, crate training is an important tool. By controlling their environment you can make sure they are not free to use the bathroom. Dogs prefer to sleep or eat where they can relieve themselves. If you give your Boxer a good crate, you will be able to dictate when they potty.

Why Are Boxers So Stubborn?
Boxers are stubborn at times. Poor training practices from the owner are one of the main reasons. Boxers need a reason to listen and not follow blindly. This is a result of bad training practices.
I prefer to call the behavior of many Bully breeds willful. Boxers are free thinking and can present themselves as stubborn if they don’t take a command seriously.
Establishing yourself as the leader will make it easier for your Boxer to respect you. They will choose not to obey if they think they don’t have to. Simple as that.
Give your Boxer a reason to follow you. Positive reinforcement, following through with instructions, and consistency can prevent behavior.
Training needs to start from an early age. The earlier you establish yourself as the leader, create lines of communication, and form a bond with your Boxer, the less likely the unwanted behavior will arise.
Keep Training Short
Training sessions with your Boxer should be short and focused. Roughly 15 minutes per session is plenty to work on new commands as well as reinforce and practice previously learned commands. Short focused sessions are important for learning because puppies can be easily distracted.
Over time, these 15 minute sessions add up. If your Boxer puppy is able to engage with you, you can include a few sessions throughout the day. I work with my Pocket Bully for 15 minutes a day and he has learned so much in 2 months.
