I had a boxer/pit bull mix. He was always super hyper. I just had to play with him and train him.
Also, I'm not sure if you are aware, but boxers have very sensitive stomachs. They are also prone to have bad gas and tummy aches! Make sure you are feeding him good healthy food and try not to change it up, as this may cause a tummy ache!

Boxers are very hyper when they are young and they stay very active throughout their lives they are working dogs, you have to give them lots of run around time and toys to play with, my boxer loves to swim so that also helps. Boxers want to be with you as much as possible so take her to the dog park, running, walking, play Frisbee with her, wrestle with her they are strong active dogs. Make sure she has plenty of water because boxers can overheat! Also mine loves to play tug o war with a rope toy. They are the best dogs ever, smart sweet and loyal!! Play, play and more play and teach her not to jump up, its cute as a puppy but a boxer will knock you over just to lick you and they are very strong. Knee her in the chest when she jumps up and she will get the message.

boxers are known for being complicated dogs, yet on the comparable time they're known for being amazingly loving and massive relatives dogs. that's going to take a superb style of staying power and CONSISTENCY. you're able to make it sparkling early on which you are the boss and not the dogs. that's significant bear in mind that it's not the dogs, that's the variety you take care of the dogs, and this can be the case regardless of what breed you get. in case you could save up with preparation, that's going to unquestionably repay because of the fact they're cuddly, playful and loving. although, there is yet another draw back to boxers besides their stubbornness, that's maximum cancers. boxers have an extremely severe predominance for finding out to purchase maximum cancers, which could be severe priced and emotionally draining. i think of it is likewise something to think approximately in getting a dogs. they have not got the longest lifespan, as i lost my boxer at basically 7 years previous by way of lymphoma :[ even nevertheless boxers are very profitable as quickly as you put in the artwork, they do have this predominance for many cancers :/ something to think approximately...

Boxers are very active busy dogs and tend to be that way most of their lives.
They calm down some but most are very active and jumpy for their whole lives.
My friend breeds them and she has three and they are all hyper most times.
