Is private or group training best for my boxer puppy?
I have a 7 month old boxer puppy that is extremely hyper. She goes crazy when she sees another dog or person and starts to jump all over them and I can barely control her. I was just wondering which type of dog training would best fit her temperment. I am afraid that she will betoo distracted in a group training class and will try to jump all over the other people and puppies there...
Wow, awesome answers you guys! I really appreciate your help and I have decided to go ahead and do the group classes as recommended. Thanks again!
First, I'd start with private training. That allows you to become a better handler.
Second, after you've done private training, I'd definitely look at a group class. That's because your boxer is going to have to learn how to be around other dogs (and you'll need to learn to management it).
Third, get a copy of Leslie McDevitt's "Control Unleashed." While it's written with agility competition in mind, the focus is on reactive dogs (ie: your dog). It is a series of practical and hands-on activities you can do with your dog in every-day life and settings to manage this behavior. For instance, there is a game called "Look at That" that sounds like it would be perfect for your Boxer. And I know what I'm talking about--this is because the dog I have now is reactive. We took a CU course based on Leslie's book and I read her book first. It made a HUGE difference for us.
