Potty Training Boxer Puppies????
25 Jan 2010
How long does it take to train a Boxer puppy to let you know he has to go potty.. example.. scratching the door or ringing a bell that’s hanging on the door. Sometimes ours does it, sometimes not.. he’s 5 months old. What do you think???
I have two Boxers they are my babies. My three year old took about 7-8 months to get it down pat (no mistakes at all). My baby boy who’s almost six months barely has the hang of it. He knows not to go in the house, however as the owner you have to stay on top of them. It’s your job to read their mind, if you see them sniffing or wondering away from you immediately put them outside. Be sure to have lil’ treats to praise them when they do go outside(that is very important) Also remember a puppy does not have control of their bladder until about 5-6 months. Good Luck!! Boxers are soo much fun!!

I also have 2 boxers, they are about 5 and 3. It did not take them very long to train, BUT! they do need patience and persistence. What worked for us is having one door where they go to, to bark from and sometimes they come to us and bark at us, then we get the sign. It will help to really be able to read the signs when your puppy has to pee. I’ve never tried the bell thing, but my boxers do scratch at the back door when they need to pee.

It depends on how much time and patience the trainor puts into.
if you work hard they could learn sooner than if you didnt.
its not about age.
