1. **Sit**: Start by holding a treat above your boxer's nose and slowly move it back over their head. As they look up, their bottom will naturally lower to the ground. Once they sit, say 'Sit' and give them the treat. Repeat this several times until they associate the command with the action.
2. **Stay**: Once your boxer has mastered 'Sit', you can teach 'Stay'. Have them sit, then open your palm in front of them and say 'Stay'. Take a step back, and if they remain in place, return and reward them. Gradually increase the distance and duration before rewarding.
3. **Come**: This command is essential for safety. Start in a controlled environment and say 'Come' while gently pulling on a leash. When your boxer comes to you, reward them with praise and a treat. Ensure to practice this command frequently in different locations.
4. **Down**: To teach 'Down', have your boxer sit, then hold a treat close to the ground. Move it away from them, and as they lower themselves to reach it, say 'Down'. Reward them as soon as they lie down.
5. **Leave It**: This command is crucial for teaching your boxer to ignore distractions. Hold a treat in your hand and say 'Leave it'. When they stop trying to get it, reward them with a different treat from your other hand. This teaches them that ignoring something can lead to better rewards.
6. **Heel**: Teaching your boxer to walk beside you is helpful for walks. Start with them on a leash, say 'Heel', and encourage them to walk beside you with treats. Reward them for staying close.
When training, always use a cheerful tone, be patient, and keep training sessions short (about 5-10 minutes) to maintain your boxer's interest. Consistency is key, so practice regularly and always reward good behavior!
