This is not the dogs fault! Her owner is an idiot! Learn to train your dog properly, your dog is bad all the time because you don't have the common sense to train her! I hate when stoopid people blame the dog. She should be scolding herself in the mirror! The dog is scared to death of you, I feel so bad for sweet pea for having a moron for a mom! I've raised 4 boxers from pups and not one of them has ever destroyed anything! Boxers are very intellegent dog but like you, most owners, not so much
@jefesmama I think it's kind of ironic that you spelled both stupid and intelligent wrong. I also think it's ironic that you've made other comments to people saying they were "too mean" with their comments, and another where you chastise someone for their spelling? Really? Pot, meet kettle. Now I'm going to go scold myself in the mirror for even responding to your nonsense.
I love her..my boxer jax would do this to if I let him run while I was gone. You know she is thinking why don't Pugsley ever get blamed for anything.......lol's
video is funny but sad at the same time the dog is bored if you dont stimulate the dog the dog will stimulate you its been locked in the house all day take him to the beach and let him run
Your dog simply needs to run more. Stop making videos repeating the same thing 100 times making the dog so confused it doesnt even know how to react and take it for a run.
I love your videos of Sweet Pea. She looks exactly like my Kai Kai. I hope everything is ok, and from what i can see, you are a great mama with a lot of patience. Like me! lol. Give Sweet Pea a hug for me!
She is upset when you leave her. As aggravating as it is to have to clean up the mess.....I believe it is an act of love (in a round-about way) on her part.
She'll probably out-grow it. In the meantime - give her more attention - take her outside to play and play inside more with her. Tire her out with play before you leave. (just a few suggestions)
wintersphyc: you obviously know nothing about sweet pea or the tons of funny videos posted here about her. if you had a boxer, you would know how funny they were. i know because i have one!
The problem is she is doing this in spite to get a reaction from you. Jesus christ, STOP TELLING THE DOG SHE IS BAD! Get a trainer, get a behaviorlist, do something different from this. I have already had to tell so many people that you have to catch and correct your boxer in the act NOT after the fact, she won't understand. How do I know? Because I had a boxer once that did these things to get a reaction out of me, but I taught him to stop. My trainer told me the exact same thing.
Also wanted to mention Tyson. We got him @2months old and figured it would be easy since he was so young. Not quite true. We often would come home and find napkins, tp, coasters and other random things shredded in the living room. We always know who the culprit was by their reactions. Love it when we say "who did that!!!" and they give you that look that no matter what they did ya can't stay mad @them for long.
She looks just like my Rocky! White toes and all. We got him @14months old and he was always crated while left alone. We decided to leave him out. Took him a while (including a heel from my wedding) to gain our trust. Have you ever tried putting her directly into a crate when she gets in trouble? We used to give him time outs. He caught on very quickly. We don't even have the crates set up anymore but the word "crate" has a lot of power.
I think its the little dog doing this and letting sweet pea take the fall. lol It happens. Some dogs just do this. My girl was very good from age 2 and older. She would take pillows and try to dominate them. i.e Hump so i would put my good pillows away and let her have old ones. Life of owning a animal. We love them sooo much but they can drive us crazy at times. People say they are not like kids. No a child would use a marker or crayons to color your wall lol
Haha, you're supposed to walk her and play with her more often, she has so much pent up energy that has to be released. Spend more time with your dogs. That's why she did it.
@MoonlightShadow456 that's not true, i've had boxers since i was young, and it just depends on the dog, all y boxers have been full-bred, i've played with them equal, they have tons of places to run and do whatever they want, it just depends on the dogs personality, some dogs (like the one i have now, missy) is just kind of a bad dog, she just won't stop tearing things up!
I love the adventures of Sweet Pea! I have the same problem with my boxer Rocky and he is 3 years old. Some things never change and I have to keep him in a very big crate (housey) while I am at work, for his own safety. He gets into more than Sweet pea, in the form of broken glass, wires, windows. I wish it was just pillows and stuffing but he could seriously hurt himself if I didn't put him in his house when I leave. I hope he outgrows it. I feel your pain. haha
Dogs destroy things when we leave because of separation anxiety. She probably did this within 10 minutes after her owner left. They do not feel "guilty" when we come home and see the destruction; they see our REACTION to the mess.
1. Stop greeting your dog when you come home. Ignore for 10 minutes.
2. Stop saying goodbye when you leave. Make coming and going "no big deal."
3. Buy a KONG toy & fill with treats, to be given as you leave!
LOL! I agree w/both previous comments. Pugsley did indeed look like he said that & you are VERY patient lady. We just adopted a boxer & I aspire 2b this patient.
I don't think you could ever be mad at any boxer with those faces :) I think sweet pea and my boxer Tito would have a ball together. Either that or rip the ball up!
until i hid a camera and seen the two of them getting torn into everything.. i was shoked at the one who doesnt usually chew up and was even more shoked to descover that she was the instagator!! so hide a camera maybe andf see what really goes on when your back is turned and you might just get a shock!! pkease dont htink this was a nasty message it wasnt just wanted to give you some advise to stop blaming the one dog cause sher may start to get jelous of the other one not getting into trouble..x
You will be surprised at who raelly does the mess.. i have 2 pups one is great on her own doesnt make a mess at all the other is terrible and chews up EVERYTHING IN SIGHT!! But and here is the big BUT.. when the two of them are together they both get involved in the chewing up and destruction of things! So please stop blaming poor sweet pea because u may find if you actually seen the whole thing happening that the other dog is involved in it somehow.. i was the same as you blaming one dog ..
The proof...Pugsley turns his head left right at the beginning...and when u call sweets name he starts smiling...i knew it "the irish can´t be trusted" :-P
Oh my goodness she is too cute!!! I have a baby boy boxer pup and a pug!! My Junebug the pug is under the table anytime she did anything wrong and instantly gives it away!! I know the feeling! They know exactly what they did wrong! I post pone her dinner time (which she lives for) an hour
dont pay attention the those idiots that are posting negative replys on here,you can tell that you love your dog very much,,most people would have done gotten rid of the dog after the first few times of coming home to that,,,they are morons
@1jacqueline1963 I know! That sucks when people take something that is supposed to be cute and insult the posting person. Obviously there are some with absolutely no sense of humor.
I love the way u talk to them also, like they're actual people & not dogs! I get alot of crap about talking to my dog like he's alittle boy....but they're our kids so screw them all =D I love ur videos & ur doggies <3
I seriously have to disagree with all the crap these people are giving u about ur tone of voice & blah blah blah. maybe ur doggy has some separation issues but I still think that they should be told when they do something wrong otherwise they're just gonna keep on doing it cuz they know that they can get away with it! Of course she understands, otherwise she wouldnt be lowering her head at u! U keep on disciplining ur doggies however the hell u want & keep posting more vids of ur sweet doggies!
ur dog does not speak english and u have really ugly shoes and toenails ur probly just some american idiot who hates his dog stop asking her what happened and the angry voice tone wont help her not being nervous so maybe u should get a turtle instead or a walking stick to start off with instead of a beautiful talented boxer who could become perfect if u just helped her
ur an dumbass idiot seriously you cant blame ur dog for every thing just because he gets nervous when ur not home because that is just a sign she likes u she is nervous about when ur gonna come and play so she breaks and chews on stuff like some humans bite their nails when they nervouse some eat a lot when their nervous dogs are like humans and if always mad at ur dog u should give it to someone else so she can also live happily and actually with who people who try to help her to not get nerv
This is hilarious! She isn't bad... you just have to learn to put things away that you know she will rip up! My beagle/pittie mix chews shoes, rips up pillows.... I learned to keep those things out of his reach.
my dog behaves like that when he is alone a lot, he gets angry at me for leaving him alone because i used to be at home all day until i got this job and now he destroys something every time i leave him alone just to get back at me and it's usually something i use...
If i may suggest.. I notice when ur video taping these... there is no music or television on. Do you turn anything on before u leave? I would suggest doing so to help her cope. It may also help if u can call ur home if u have an answering machine and talk to her every 30-45 minutes.. to an hour.. it may help her in the long run. makes her feel like ur there watchin her..
I honestly believe you should really either have someone look after her while you're at work, or just give her to a foster home or sell or give her away if you're always mad at her!!
Also they sell mats you can get that give the dog a mild shock, nothing that will hurt her but will teach her she's not allowed in certain rooms, or you could try the type that has a motion censor attached to the dogs collar and placed in a certain doorway that either shocks, or sprays something unpleasant at the dog to teach them it's not a place they belong. Neither method is cruel and is sort of a last resort before going to a vet for anti anxiety meds.
My female boxer does the exact same thing if she is left alone by herself, she has separation anxiety and the only way most dogs can "express" that is by destroying things. I crate her when I leave, but had to put industrial grade zip ties on all the edges around the cage or she'd bust it apart. I put toys in the crate with her and that seems to help some but in reality there's not a whole lot you can do.
Hey how old is your dog? I have a 6 year old boxer and he was like this for a long time. In the end we got a cage to put him in when we went out, eventually he got better. They tend to settle down at about 3 years old, they will always be like puppies when playing but are more settled in the house....please don't give up on it though there worth it
it can be hard to tell them off sometimes because of there face lol
I randomly came upon your videos so I don't know if you're still having issues with Sweet Pea, but my friends have a beagle mix that used to have the same destructive separation anxiety and they got him all fixed! They don't make a big deal out of leaving or getting home, for a while they would get ready and leave without even acknowledging him and then come back in 5 mins later or just get ready and not leave at all so the dog wouldn't know what to make of it all. Just some friendly advice!:)
I think Sweet pea is a good girl. She understands what you say. she knows she did bad. But the thing i surprise is why she continue to do ? You should find out for that reason. May be she wants sth like "She doesn't like to live without u or ... " . whatever, she's Great girl for me. I Love her.
I am just loving the misadventures of poor Sweet Pea! Allegedly,Sweet Pea! I'm not convinced that Pugsley is the innocent he portrays. Poor Sweet Pea-does he dread the times when his mom comes home 'cause he knows he going to be humiliated? They are both adorable but my heart is starting to ache for Sweet Pea! But I know he is loved. :)

you and the people you live with are so patient! its hard going home from work to be greeted with such mess... but i know how u feels (i'm a dog owner too). when they look at u with that guilty/ apologetic face everything just melts away right? loooooove the name of your dog
WOW. And the little terrier's practically smiling at the beginning when she's asking Sweet Pea to come over, like "Ooh, you're gonna get it! Gonna get it!"
hey I just put my Bover down Sat. and these videos are like watching myself and my Liberty in rewind... makes me smile.. well and cry thanks for posting them, Boxers are awesome!!
Love sweetpea-3 I have a boxer Pitt mix he was destructive when he was younger but now hes 3 usually only left alone say 4-5 hrs a day but mainly occupies his time staring out the window and waiting for me to come home funny thing is they know every time you say "what did u do?" the ears go back and try n kiss or be apologetic I can't help but laugh boxers rule!!!! Keep em coming
Hello... I have to comment on your precious Sweet Pea. We have had three boxers...Our newest is Molly. They are the funniest and kinda big dumb dumbs. I love Sweet Pea!! Our last female Baily was JUST LIKE Sweet Pea. A crate did not work for her either. She got more unstable with her old age. We lost her about 4 months ago..she was 15. We miss her but decides to do it all again with Molly. She is so funny I just hope she doesnt have the seperation anxiety like Baily and Sweet Pea. :)
It's certainly a boxer thing , they can be a destructive breed... My parents last Boxer ( The 3rd they had welcomed into their home) destroyed their house... Costing them thousands of pounds... It was a mixture of separation anxiety& Boredom tbh And thanks 2 my parents love, determination& research He lived until the ripe old age of 14. Although Boxers can be a handful at times, it far out ways the joy& laughter their charismatic natures bring into your life... Which is why I now have Bella t
I LOVE all of Sweet Pea and Pugsly's videos. It's obvious that you love your dogs and provide an excellent home for them. Wish I had that kind of space in my backyard for my boxer. I hope you don't let the negative, judgmental comments from these idiots bother you. It's clear that they don't know the boxer breed. Yes, Sweet Pea does look like she has separation anxiety (common in boxers), but it appears that you know that already. She knows she's in trouble whether you say a word or not.
ok to the 1st response that the owner was yelling at the dog is a pile os shit even if it was 6mnths ago.Mabey u should get educated on boxer breeds before u pass judgment on somebody else,school yourself are you even a boxer owner cause if you were you would know the signs dummy.Respect to the owner you dont have to explain yourself to a dummy,keep up the good work.We are boxer owners...
My wife and I LOVE your videos of Sweet Pea, what a beautiful dog! We had to give our boxer away due to a move, your videos remind us of how much work a boxer can be but more importantly, the great personalities and hearts that they have. Thanks so much for posting these great videos they really make us smile and laugh and remember all the great times we had with our boxer.
YOU most get training, not the animal. (I really mean it, miss--im not tryin to ofended you, please..)- You confuse your dog repeating and saying the same thing all the time in a straight tune of voice-he loves you and doesnt know whats wrong/but he know something wrong. When I see that I really feel pitty for the animal instict and inocent..missunderstud feelings.. Take a chiwuaua.
When she's tearing the house us, she's not being silly or frivolous like she's in some anthropomorphic kids cartoon. This is the behavior of a stressed and manic dog.
When you're asking her 'what did you do, what did you do, what did you do' in that tone, the only thing she is feeling is total sadness. Not guilt, she doesn't have the level of thought to have what we understand as guilt.
OMG! I thought my Millie was bad. I guess it is a Boxer thing to distroy whatever they can when no one is home. If you ever learn how to make this stop please let me know. Millie can get out of her crate by flipping it over and crawling out the bottom (apparently those openings are bigger then the sides). So in case anyone is wondering why you are not crating her, I can only assume its because she has learned how to escape or screams and barks like her wiskers are being pulled out too.
Wow, you've been sooooo patient with this adorable mischief maker. The office messes with the phone books and catalogs make me laugh because there is no expense to the mess but that pillow was an expensive mess to have to sweep up and throw away. Time to make another deal with Sweat Pea. Good luck to you and keep us updated, I love to watch your videos.
ur sweet pea is so cute! I love her! i know she's 1 problem child 4 u but she adds much to ur life to enjoy with a lil too much of pain to handle! :D
i always wanted my dog to b like sweet pea!
@Kduchainey- she is understanding what her owner is trying to convey! She knows she has messed up once again. she is not suffering from any separation anxiety. hyper active can be the word for her! dogs generally get ferocious when suffering from anxiety. rest a VET will be a better person to tell that!
i have a ten month old boxer and i was going through the same thing the best advice i can give is buy a kennel or have an area were there is nothing for them to chew except what you want them too, leave them in that area while your gone and you all so need to let the dog that what she was done is bad in just one word not so many the what did you do is too much for her to understand i found that rawhide earwigs are a great parting gifts or maybe just a big bone a walk before you leave will help 2
Oh, Sweet Pea is precious. I have a pit bull that destroyed everything she could get her hands on for a few months, but she eventually grew out of it. I almost named her Sweet Pea too! Maybe leaving for very short periods of time and getting super excited when she behaves would help.
Well i guess we have the same problem but the difference is i have a male Great Dane and he diggs for no reason makes so many holes and knows he's gonna get in trouble but we think he does it for attention. He's left outside for a 15mins so he can do his potty but in just those 15mins he's made like 10 holes and howls like if we abandoned him lol but they always make u laugh cause of their crazy silly things they do.
@BoxerBoston OK, since she obviously knows that she's done something wrong (after the fact) and she does seem to have seperation anxiety, maybe she has OCD as well? Some dogs are genetically predisposed. Boxers, God love them, can have all sorts of quirks. It just seems to me that she has a compulsion she can't control when you're not with her.
I realize that this video is 3 months old, but your dog has some serious Separation Anxiety. She's not a bad dog and she certainly doesn't understand you when you go "What did you do?" in that angry tone of voice. Dogs can't relate things like that. If you want it to stop, you need to catch her WHILE she is doing it, and let her face the negative consequences. Nothing makes me angrier than people going, "oh, but the dog looks guilty!" They look guilty because they're being yelled at.
@kduchainey I have caught her in the act (stayed home sick and she forgot while I was in the the shower!) She looks guilty because she KNOWS she's guilty. When I come home and she's sitting at the door waiting, I know she was good. If she's outside when I walk in the door, she's has torn something up. Why? Because SHE KNOWS SHE WAS BAD! You were right about only one thing, she does have separation anxiety. She is one of the sweetest, smartest dogs I've known, when we are home.

@BoxerBoston do you have any idea how to stop this? when i go out i have to make sure all the rugs are in the rooms, no plants around, no books, everything he will destroy i have to lock all the doors, and i don't like leaving any dog toys lying around for him to chew instead in case he rips it and chokes :s (the paranoia of him choking is he ate a table tennis ball and stayed in his gullet for 4+ weeks then he was pooing green water nad throing up, the vet said it's a miracle he is still alive)
@BoxerBoston How often do you walk,run or take her to the dog park? Boxers have so much energy to burn its seems that she is probably just bored. I try to exercise my boxer at least an hour a day and when I slack off some weeks is when he can be destructive and do things that he knows are bad. If you are able to exercise her before you have to leave her alone I am certain you would find less mess's.
@BoxerBoston same with my rottweiler.. if she did some bad she hides in her house.. if she was a good girl she comes to the door that is how I can always tell and already prepare for the scenario ;-)
@BoxerBoston If you know your dog has a serious problem then why aren't you sorting it out? It's not just for your homes welfare it's for your dogs mental health also! Of course she knows when she's done something wrong, but it's your job to set clear boundries for her so she can 'snap out' of this behaviour!
All of your videos are really making this situation in to some sort of joke. If you cant curb her anxiety then perhaps she'd be better off with a different owner.
@cheekeedevilll I don't think it is right for you to judge her. How do you know what help she is or isn't getting? The videos are ways for fellow boxer owners to relate, and maybe chuckle a little. They're dogs. This stuff happens. It's part of the gift. What do you want her to do? Beat her dog and yell at it?
@steffie224 When did i ever say she needs to 'beat her dog and yell at it'?! For the MENTAL welfare of the animal that is ovbiously having serious difficulties with it's position in the household and with its role as a companian; this behaviour needs to be sorted. Obviously the animal isn't recieving the help it needs because BoxerBoston has multiple videos of Sweat Pea acting out.
@BoxerBoston - Hey my boxer had the same thing, and I really worked on it and now she is fine. For one saying the same thing every time you leave a room, leave her a special toy or bone, lots of exercise before you leave, ignoring her 10 minutes before you leave and 10 minutes after 3 weeks of that and I can leave her alone all day and she'll be fine.
@BoxerBoston ....love your videos. I have a 3-yr Maltese named Bella. In the first year that I had her (adopted her at 2yrs) she had a hard time with me leaving the house. So she developed a thing for my shoes and slippers. She didn't chew them up. She would just take them out of my room or closet and put one right shoe in the kitchen/left in the tv room and so on. Some days she would get up to three pairs. It always made me laugh. She eventually stopped. Hang in there. Love moves mts.
My sister went through some problems with a female boxer, Daisy. I found her as a pup. I would love to work with your dogs, but, I am in Saint Louis, MO. If you want advive, please let me know. I am a fan of your videos, I have a Dogue De Bordeaux, My sister has a boxer that I found about 5 years ago, and a new boxer that was abused. All is good with the dogs!!!!!!!!!!!! We are lucky
@kduchainey Dogs can look guilty with out even saying anything. What you didn't see from this video I'm sure is when the owner walked in and the dog didn't come running to greet her. What dog, who has been "alone" all day doesn't come running when their owner comes home? My dogs do the same thing. When I walk through the door if one of them isn't there to greet me I know they did something wrong. All I Have to do is look at them and they bow their heads in shame.

@kduchainey I don't think she is using an angry tone of voice at all. I think from the looks of it, she is a great pet owner. We have boxers and say the same thing in the same tone. "What did you do?" and our dogs know they did something wrong, albeit probably not understanding. There's no beating, screaming, or punishing. I fully support this dog owner. Her dogs are lucky to have a home with a yard, another great dog to play with, and a family that obviously cares for it.

awww she is like "I am sorry mommy" so cute cant resist thouse puppy eyes! you might want to give your dog alot of exercise an 1 1/2 a day or so that might help with the pent up energy she has!
We have two boxers also, they are so silly, but can get into some trouble. It sounds like maybe she is having separation anxiety. This stuff only happens when your not at home right? She could probably use some extra exercise, like someone else wrote. They have alot of energy(as I'm sure you know). And boy do they know when they are in trouble! Mine look guilty before you even see what they did wrong. And you just know something is up! Good Luck! Aren't boxers the cutest, silliest dogs!
After seeing all the videos of this dog...take her running!!!! They need a lot of exercise. I take mine running on my bike to get the mail. If she'll stay beside you when you walk her, walking/running beside a bike isn't a far stretch.
Boxers are all OR nothing! If I take him on a trot w/ the bike and let him sprint a 1/8 mile...the rest of the day he's on the couch.
"Experts say you have to catch your dog in the act or else they won't know what you are displeased at."
Dog moms and dads know different. Sweet Pea was waiting for her scolding... She knew she was a bad girl. "Mama, I just can't help myself. The pillow called me and I could not resist. I really, really, really tried. I did!
This is not the dogs fault! Her owner is an idiot! Learn to train your dog properly, your dog is bad all the time because you don't have the common sense to train her! I hate when stoopid people blame the dog. She should be scolding herself in the mirror! The dog is scared to death of you, I feel so bad for sweet pea for having a moron for a mom! I've raised 4 boxers from pups and not one of them has ever destroyed anything! Boxers are very intellegent dog but like you, most owners, not so much

Sweet Pea: "Ummm" - (guilt all over my face)
Pugsley: "Mwa ha ha!"
Mum: "What did you do Sweet Pea?"

The problem is she is doing this in spite to get a reaction from you. Jesus christ, STOP TELLING THE DOG SHE IS BAD! Get a trainer, get a behaviorlist, do something different from this. I have already had to tell so many people that you have to catch and correct your boxer in the act NOT after the fact, she won't understand. How do I know? Because I had a boxer once that did these things to get a reaction out of me, but I taught him to stop. My trainer told me the exact same thing.

Also wanted to mention Tyson. We got him @2months old and figured it would be easy since he was so young. Not quite true. We often would come home and find napkins, tp, coasters and other random things shredded in the living room. We always know who the culprit was by their reactions. Love it when we say "who did that!!!" and they give you that look that no matter what they did ya can't stay mad @them for long.

She looks just like my Rocky! White toes and all. We got him @14months old and he was always crated while left alone. We decided to leave him out. Took him a while (including a heel from my wedding) to gain our trust. Have you ever tried putting her directly into a crate when she gets in trouble? We used to give him time outs. He caught on very quickly. We don't even have the crates set up anymore but the word "crate" has a lot of power.

I think its the little dog doing this and letting sweet pea take the fall. lol It happens. Some dogs just do this. My girl was very good from age 2 and older. She would take pillows and try to dominate them. i.e Hump so i would put my good pillows away and let her have old ones. Life of owning a animal. We love them sooo much but they can drive us crazy at times. People say they are not like kids. No a child would use a marker or crayons to color your wall lol

@MoonlightShadow456 that's not true, i've had boxers since i was young, and it just depends on the dog, all y boxers have been full-bred, i've played with them equal, they have tons of places to run and do whatever they want, it just depends on the dogs personality, some dogs (like the one i have now, missy) is just kind of a bad dog, she just won't stop tearing things up!

I love the adventures of Sweet Pea! I have the same problem with my boxer Rocky and he is 3 years old. Some things never change and I have to keep him in a very big crate (housey) while I am at work, for his own safety. He gets into more than Sweet pea, in the form of broken glass, wires, windows. I wish it was just pillows and stuffing but he could seriously hurt himself if I didn't put him in his house when I leave. I hope he outgrows it. I feel your pain. haha

Dogs destroy things when we leave because of separation anxiety. She probably did this within 10 minutes after her owner left. They do not feel "guilty" when we come home and see the destruction; they see our REACTION to the mess.
1. Stop greeting your dog when you come home. Ignore for 10 minutes.
2. Stop saying goodbye when you leave. Make coming and going "no big deal."
3. Buy a KONG toy & fill with treats, to be given as you leave!
This worked wonders for my dog

Also they sell mats you can get that give the dog a mild shock, nothing that will hurt her but will teach her she's not allowed in certain rooms, or you could try the type that has a motion censor attached to the dogs collar and placed in a certain doorway that either shocks, or sprays something unpleasant at the dog to teach them it's not a place they belong. Neither method is cruel and is sort of a last resort before going to a vet for anti anxiety meds.

My female boxer does the exact same thing if she is left alone by herself, she has separation anxiety and the only way most dogs can "express" that is by destroying things. I crate her when I leave, but had to put industrial grade zip ties on all the edges around the cage or she'd bust it apart. I put toys in the crate with her and that seems to help some but in reality there's not a whole lot you can do.

I randomly came upon your videos so I don't know if you're still having issues with Sweet Pea, but my friends have a beagle mix that used to have the same destructive separation anxiety and they got him all fixed! They don't make a big deal out of leaving or getting home, for a while they would get ready and leave without even acknowledging him and then come back in 5 mins later or just get ready and not leave at all so the dog wouldn't know what to make of it all. Just some friendly advice!:)

Hello... I have to comment on your precious Sweet Pea. We have had three boxers...Our newest is Molly. They are the funniest and kinda big dumb dumbs. I love Sweet Pea!! Our last female Baily was JUST LIKE Sweet Pea. A crate did not work for her either. She got more unstable with her old age. We lost her about 4 months ago..she was 15. We miss her but decides to do it all again with Molly. She is so funny I just hope she doesnt have the seperation anxiety like Baily and Sweet Pea. :)

I LOVE all of Sweet Pea and Pugsly's videos. It's obvious that you love your dogs and provide an excellent home for them. Wish I had that kind of space in my backyard for my boxer. I hope you don't let the negative, judgmental comments from these idiots bother you. It's clear that they don't know the boxer breed. Yes, Sweet Pea does look like she has separation anxiety (common in boxers), but it appears that you know that already. She knows she's in trouble whether you say a word or not.

When she's tearing the house us, she's not being silly or frivolous like she's in some anthropomorphic kids cartoon. This is the behavior of a stressed and manic dog.
When you're asking her 'what did you do, what did you do, what did you do' in that tone, the only thing she is feeling is total sadness. Not guilt, she doesn't have the level of thought to have what we understand as guilt.

OMG! I thought my Millie was bad. I guess it is a Boxer thing to distroy whatever they can when no one is home. If you ever learn how to make this stop please let me know. Millie can get out of her crate by flipping it over and crawling out the bottom (apparently those openings are bigger then the sides). So in case anyone is wondering why you are not crating her, I can only assume its because she has learned how to escape or screams and barks like her wiskers are being pulled out too.

@Kduchainey- she is understanding what her owner is trying to convey!

@BoxerBoston OK, since she obviously knows that she's done something wrong (after the fact) and she does seem to have seperation anxiety, maybe she has OCD as well? Some dogs are genetically predisposed. Boxers, God love them, can have all sorts of quirks. It just seems to me that she has a compulsion she can't control when you're not with her.
Patticinsc 1 year ago
I realize that this video is 3 months old, but your dog has some serious Separation Anxiety. She's not a bad dog and she certainly doesn't understand you when you go "What did you do?" in that angry tone of voice. Dogs can't relate things like that. If you want it to stop, you need to catch her WHILE she is doing it, and let her face the negative consequences. Nothing makes me angrier than people going, "oh, but the dog looks guilty!" They look guilty because they're being yelled at.
kduchainey 1 year ago 5
@kduchainey I have caught her in the act (stayed home sick and she forgot while I was in the the shower!) She looks guilty because she KNOWS she's guilty. When I come home and she's sitting at the door waiting, I know she was good. If she's outside when I walk in the door, she's has torn something up. Why? Because SHE KNOWS SHE WAS BAD! You were right about only one thing, she does have separation anxiety. She is one of the sweetest, smartest dogs I've known, when we are home.

@BoxerBoston do you have any idea how to stop this? when i go out i have to make sure all the rugs are in the rooms, no plants around, no books, everything he will destroy i have to lock all the doors, and i don't like leaving any dog toys lying around for him to chew instead in case he rips it and chokes :s (the paranoia of him choking is he ate a table tennis ball and stayed in his gullet for 4+ weeks then he was pooing green water nad throing up, the vet said it's a miracle he is still alive)

@BoxerBoston How often do you walk,run or take her to the dog park? Boxers have so much energy to burn its seems that she is probably just bored. I try to exercise my boxer at least an hour a day and when I slack off some weeks is when he can be destructive and do things that he knows are bad. If you are able to exercise her before you have to leave her alone I am certain you would find less mess's.

@BoxerBoston If you know your dog has a serious problem then why aren't you sorting it out? It's not just for your homes welfare it's for your dogs mental health also! Of course she knows when she's done something wrong, but it's your job to set clear boundries for her so she can 'snap out' of this behaviour!
All of your videos are really making this situation in to some sort of joke. If you cant curb her anxiety then perhaps she'd be better off with a different owner.

@steffie224 When did i ever say she needs to 'beat her dog and yell at it'?! For the MENTAL welfare of the animal that is ovbiously having serious difficulties with it's position in the household and with its role as a companian; this behaviour needs to be sorted. Obviously the animal isn't recieving the help it needs because BoxerBoston has multiple videos of Sweat Pea acting out.

@BoxerBoston - Hey my boxer had the same thing, and I really worked on it and now she is fine. For one saying the same thing every time you leave a room, leave her a special toy or bone, lots of exercise before you leave, ignoring her 10 minutes before you leave and 10 minutes after 3 weeks of that and I can leave her alone all day and she'll be fine.

So she developed a thing for my shoes and slippers. She didn't chew them up. She would just take them out of my room or closet and put one right shoe in the kitchen/left in the tv room and so on. Some days she would get up to three pairs. It always made me laugh. She eventually stopped. Hang in there. Love moves mts.

My sister went through some problems with a female boxer, Daisy. I found her as a pup. I would love to work with your dogs, but, I am in Saint Louis, MO. If you want advive, please let me know. I am a fan of your videos, I have a Dogue De Bordeaux, My sister has a boxer that I found about 5 years ago, and a new boxer that was abused. All is good with the dogs!!!!!!!!!!!! We are lucky

@kduchainey Dogs can look guilty with out even saying anything. What you didn't see from this video I'm sure is when the owner walked in and the dog didn't come running to greet her. What dog, who has been "alone" all day doesn't come running when their owner comes home? My dogs do the same thing. When I walk through the door if one of them isn't there to greet me I know they did something wrong. All I Have to do is look at them and they bow their heads in shame.

@kduchainey I don't think she is using an angry tone of voice at all. I think from the looks of it, she is a great pet owner. We have boxers and say the same thing in the same tone. "What did you do?" and our dogs know they did something wrong, albeit probably not understanding. There's no beating, screaming, or punishing. I fully support this dog owner. Her dogs are lucky to have a home with a yard, another great dog to play with, and a family that obviously cares for it.

awww she is like "I am sorry mommy" so cute cant resist thouse puppy eyes! you might want to give your dog alot of exercise an 1 1/2 a day or so that might help with the pent up energy she has!

We have two boxers also, they are so silly, but can get into some trouble. It sounds like maybe she is having separation anxiety. This stuff only happens when your not at home right? She could probably use some extra exercise, like someone else wrote. They have alot of energy(as I'm sure you know). And boy do they know when they are in trouble! Mine look guilty before you even see what they did wrong. And you just know something is up! Good Luck! Aren't boxers the cutest, silliest dogs!

What did you do Sweet Pea? :)

After seeing all the videos of this dog...take her running!!!! They need a lot of exercise. I take mine running on my bike to get the mail. If she'll stay beside you when you walk her, walking/running beside a bike isn't a far stretch.
Boxers are all OR nothing! If I take him on a trot w/ the bike and let him sprint a 1/8 mile...the rest of the day he's on the couch.
Hope this helps! <3<3<3

"Experts say you have to catch your dog in the act or else they won't know what you are displeased at."
Dog moms and dads know different. Sweet Pea was waiting for her scolding... She knew she was a bad girl. "Mama, I just can't help myself. The pillow called me and I could not resist. I really, really, really tried. I did!
