The boxer breed is known for its intelligence, high energy, and headstrong nature - some of the reasons why introducing crates and beginning crate training early is integral to establishing positive and consistent routines, successfully. In their guide, Itchy Boxer explains crate training helps with housebreaking, reduces whining, and can alleviate separation anxiety.
“Crate training offers numerous benefits that will make both your life and your puppy’s life easier,” says a spokesperson for Itchy Boxer. “A well-trained boxer will feel secure in their crate whether at home or when traveling.”
A report from Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine says that, as descendants of wolves, all dogs are den animals that naturally crave dark, snug places. To adapt to a crate, however, a dog must be conditioned slowly and positively with treats and praise from its owner.
Regarding boxer puppies, Itchy Boxer explains the breed is known for their strong attachment to their owners, which can develop into separation anxiety if not addressed and calmed early. Proper crate training helps the puppy associate their crate with a safe place they can escape to when feeling overwhelmed, agitated, or irritated.
The guide notes the right crate size is important and provides an at-a-glance grid outlining the recommended sizes for specific ages. It discusses the advantages and disadvantages of wire crates vs. plastic crates and offers tips on creating a comfortable space with a puppy bed, chew toys, and access to water. Owners are advised to leave crate doors open so puppies can roam freely, and to reward puppies each time they enter their crate to reinforce the desired positive associations.
Placing the crate in an appropriate location is also integral to training success, says the Itchy Boxer guide, noting that sometimes this means moving the crate to the bedroom at night and back into common areas during the day.
With the release of their guide, Itchy Boxer aims to help owners new to the breed foster positive habits in their puppies, ensuring they mature into calm and secure adult dogs.
