You're Killing Me Sweet Pea

She was pretty good for a while. For everyone that says we should crate her, she was literally hurting herself trying to get out. She's walked over a mile, every day, and she is doing this almost immediately after we leave (forgot something one day and came back and caught her in the act!!!)

I had to go out and get a second boxer after seeing the sweet pea videos. My older boxer was such a good girl and the second one turned out just like sweet pea.. She could not be contained, could break out of any cage. We came home to messes like this all the time. She even ate two sofas. She makes you love her, after all she's done I can't get mad at her.

Sweet Pea: "Sowwy Mommy"

I felt sad when you said you'd adopt her. Then relieved when you said you were kidding. Maybe she really does have seperation anxiety. If she keeps doing it maybe try leaving the room for a minute, then go back in and reward her. Then leave for longer & longer each time & reward her for her good behaviour. She will then learn that you will come back to her, but in the meantime, it's ok to be "on her own". Lovely videos though.

It is DEFINITELY anxiety and boredom. Boxers are smart athletic dogs and they need more than just one hour walks. They need play, to be taught tricks and they need to RUN. Running definitely relaxes them. I like to run with my boxer and I'll go in all different directions to keep his attention and encourage him to chase after me. They just need interaction and a lot more exercise than people assume. Have you tried to crate her while your in the house to get her used to it?

It seems like she is actually suffering from seperation anxiety. If she is doing this after you leave, she is basically has a tantrum over it and destroys things to quell her anxiety. My puppy used to this sort of stuff too and I had to do exercises with her to get her to get her to work on her patience and to get her to associate me leaving as something that wasn't bad because I will come back for her.

i feel your pain sweet pea!

[kjones4919]

im pretty sure it was the little dog, youcan tell sweet pea didnt do it!

[XQueenProdigyX]

the problem is she loves you SOOOOO MUCH! Which shouldn't be a problem at all. She seems to have separation anxiety. My boxer does this too. Boxer's are prone to separation anxiety more so than other dogs.Ask your vet about it, but this is common separation anxiety behavior. She is adorable though! I have 2 boxers and 1 of them behaves and the other does things exactly like this. We crate him when we're not home. Why don't you leave her in the yard when you're not home?
