She definitely has the boxer head tilt in the first photo (I am giggling)! My first question reading your email was “how much is Gracie being exercised?” And I am not talking about running in the house or backyard. Boxers can definitely be a handful if not properly exercised. They need structured and unstructured exercise AND LOTS of it. Get her active, lots of walks/runs (structure)- make a game in the backyard “Gracie in the middle” and throw a ball to each other or throw something that she wants and let her run (unstructured). Seriously, after I had my boxers trained by verbal command, I taught them to run next to the bicycle (see http://thedailyboxer.com/video/ Training her early is the best thing you can do! So kudos on the early start! It will get easier (especially with your entire family on board). I was talking to a neighbor last year about how active and puppy crazy Rosco is still and she said “don’t worry when they get to 3 or 4 years old they calm down” – my answer was “Rosco’s 5” In addition, you will learn to love her spicy little personality.
