I was given Boxer that was about 6 mos old. He’s now around 8-9 mos old and I’m having difficulty in obedience training. He was a stray that was handed down to me by 2 diff ppl. I already knew that Boxers can be stubburn and hard to train, but I’m a dedicated pet owner and am determined to break him of bad habits and turn him into an obedient companion.
“Rocky” stays out in the backyard until we come home from work. He’ll lay on the ground until ur within reach and then he springs up and jumps on u. He knows the basics, etc: “no”, “sit” (as well as the hand signal for sit), “stay”, “toy” and “drop-it”.
I want him to be protective of our house b/c our neighbor has had a break-in and we’ve had a car stolen.
Rocky snores so loud that one time when we came home he didn’t even hear us and I was the one who scared him instead of the other way around. He doesn’t bark unless he’s trying to play w/one of our cats, even when someone knocks at the door, he stays quite and just looks up and walks to the front. I wish he would be a little more aggressive/territorial….How do I go about instilling a guarding behavior in him?

My sleepy eyes we reluctant to greet the day today
My body stretched and my muscles protested
The house was cool and my skin goose pimpled
And dawn gently washed away the night with hues of grey
Out the small window the tree skeletons posed and stood guard
My heart lifted up as a deer carefully picked his way through my yard
The fan in the bathroom buzzed out all other sound
But a wonderment of the glory of the day in me began to abound
The warm cloth refreshed my face and heightened my senses
Minty Breath and freshly combed hair made my visage fair
New shoes of black and white made dressing less of a Plight
A touch of red lipstick and mascara made me look just right
Now Master Sun has come to Paint the Day
The Michelangelo of the heavens creating a new display
Letting the colors begin soft and pastel, slowly growing bright
Further Exorcising the memory of dark Night
Feeling a kinship with Alice from the story
Because I have gone through my own looking glass from glory to glory
Nostalgia at the one that made me bigger, and the one that made me small
Gladness that one made me do nothing at all
Ready to leave my castle, my humble tower
I sneak into her room and kiss her, still asleep at such an early hour
One more kiss for my husband, snoring, yet handsome and strong
Then off I go to town, noise, cars, work, schedules, and the general throng

Ok. First of all my rabbits disapeared without a trace out of their cage. We have no neighbors. we are out in the woods.I was recently down by the lake behind my house.There is a trail you can walk down, that leads out to a little dock, and an old treehouse and behind that there is these creepy little patches of woods and it’s always mostly dark even in daytime.
As I was walking past this big patch of blackberry bushes, I heard this loud noise. It was almost like snoring. that’s the only sound I could compare it to. I walked around the side of the bush quietly, I observed a gaping huge perfectly almost burrowed hole in the side of the blackberry bushes. It looked to be about 5 foot by 5 ft.
That is a huge hole! and that is also a huge noise coming from the inside of the bushes! the bushes did not appear to be broken or cut in any way, and as I was getting the hell out of there as fast as I could, I did happen to see that it was almost like something just rolled around and around, pushing the bush down almost like grass lays down when somebody lays or sits on it. Really wierd if you ask me. I have absolutely not even the slightest idea of what kind of animal could do that. It definately was not a person. we have guard dogs and a large area of untouched wilderness all around us. there would be no reason for anybody to be there. I would even have a hard time believing a big wild pig could do that. the hole would not be so tall!
I am definately considering the fact that I could have walked up on a slumbering bigfoot! : )

You decide to slip in the window,hopefully quietly.You swing in and happen to tap the guard on the knee and notice you stop his snoring.Even though the lights are on,you notice he goes back to sleep as you cover your heavy breathing.You notice cameras pointed at everything from the exit to the concrete pit you were left to die in on the monitors you missed from outside…maybe just slipping to your death made you overlook them.On the screen that shows both of you,you notice both his keyring and the fact you are locked in that room,good thing he’s the only one who can see this,huh?.There is an electronic keypad by the door out,and an obvious alarm system.It still has a key to work both sides and a door to the restroom in this room.This high up,don’t look for a window in the restroom.Oh yeah,the cameras also show what looks like rabid (?) dobermans guarding the ground floor door.Now what?

My hubbys is 35 and im 24 for the last 5 and a bit yrs I have been wearing earplugs everynight cause of my hubbys really bad snoring problem. We have a 2 1/2yr old and I am so frightend that I cant hear her so I have a really good monitor in her room and turn my part up really loud just to hear her. I now have a 1 month old and I am now sleeping in her room till he does something about his snoring. He has been to many sleep clinics and they say he has sleep apnoea and he needs to where a mouth guard but I think they were wrong because he cant breath through his mouth so what would be the point of that. Anyway my friend had the same problem and she had her Adenoide and tonsils removed and now doesnt snore. Q is how much does it cost and how can we go about getting it done for him. Cause I dont want our relationship to fall apart cause of it, I mean 5yrs is enough for me I cant tell you how many times I had infected ears cause it.
