Answer 1

Have the vet check for a urinary tract infection for the potty issues. Dig the crate out again for the night time behavior issues. Good luck

Answer 2

I have three boxers. I had a similar destructive period . Boxers don't mentally mature very fast. They will go through a period when they are about a year old, sometimes sooner sometimes later but roughly the same time ,that they will want to rebel , like a teenager cause they really are at that point of development but I would suggest doing another round of crate training just to enforce the rules like a adolescent needs. Try it for another month then give her another shot out at night . It will work I have been through it. The peeing does sound like it could be a bladder infection. They are common or it could be that you need to limit her water intake , just what she needs. If you wear your dog out during the day she will be less likely to want to find stuff to do at night. If you can't , send her to a doggy daycare a couple days a week or if you can't afford that , give a trusted person a couple dollars a day to take your dog out on long runs. Boxers need a lot of exercise . Good luck.

Answer 3

Your boxer might be bored. They are very high energy dogs and
need alot of excercise. If he is just doing his job in the back yard
he will continue this. Maybe you should start to crate him again when you go out some dogs will never get over the tearing up
stage. My friend has a dog and he is 5 and she still has to crate him when they go out. Try walking and running him more often and that might just do the trick.
I love boxers they are the greatest.

Answer 4

The urinating is probably a health issue. Have your vet check her over.

The easiest solution for destructive behavior would be to crate her again. Boxers can be high energy. If you do leave her out, do you leave her toys out with her? Leaving out things that she knows are ok to play with is helpful. The main thing is to be consistent. When you get up or catch her in destruction mode, discipline her. I'd probably crate her after each destructive episode and ignore her if she whines. After a little while, let her out and show her one of her toys to play with. keep an eye on her to be sure she doesn't go back to tearing stuff up. She'll get the idea that somethings are ok to tear up and somethings are off limits.

I have a 2 year old boxer, that can stay out all day while I'm at work and not tear anything up. Consistancy is KEY.

Answer 5

your boxer is bored, simply put. They have an inordinate need for human companionship and do not like to be alone for extended periods of time. They are not well suited for a two career family. Insufficient attention may lead them into "bad" behavior in an attempt to be noticed.The Boxer enjoys regular play and outdoor exercise. They thrive on playing with their family and do best with a medium sized fenced yard. It is important to keep them stimulated and occupied indoors to prevent destruction brought about by boredom. Something to be aware of with male boxer dogs is the fact that they can be aggressive. Like many male dogs, boxers can become territorial in the area they are regularly walked. This can sometimes lead them to becoming aggressive towards other dogs they see when they are out for a walk.
It’s important to give your dog proper training (while he is still young, especially) to ensure this kind of behavior doesn’t become commonplace.

The Boxer is clever and quick to learn. Obedience training is essential. They require a dominant owner capable of controlling them. They do not respond well to harsh treatment. Training must consist of fairness, firmness, and consistency.

To prevent the destructive behavior run him down till he's completely tired, and then give him a toy to play with in his crate.

Hope this Helps!!!
