Aww..... No both of mine were rotten until they started to calm down at 6 months. My female 1 yr old is still extremly hyper but started to behave better. They say Boxers brains arn't fully developed until 12-13 month so IMO only time will help

Yeah i know what ya mean the house were in now my dogs destroyed the back yard its all just dirt now, I have 4 dogs a Husky, Choco Lab, Rott, Boxer

speaking of boxers dont mean to thread jack but heres a pic of my boxer shes 3 1/2mo now any advice being you have two. She is EVIL and i think she wants to kill me any any tips or tricks i should try.

Start now with taking her to training classes and make sure you and anyone else in the house is consistent in commands and corrections! You're the parent/alpha, not the little pupper! Good luck!

I got tired of landscaping so I built a roof over my hot tub yesterday...... We still wanted to be able to see the stars on nice nights

Added a night pic:

Well it was sunny here and there over the last week so I tried to make some more progress........ Keeping with the origional plan I moved the steps to the front and took a sledge hammer to the sidewalk. Step treads ared temp as I have some cedar in the garage once I get everything laid out the way I like

Just trying to keep myself motivated.........

thatll look nice stained red to match the top posts

 

[joka1]

The red is going away when we paint our house. So until I decide what color the trim will be they are going to stay the cedar color.

 

[StealthWyvern]

Love the hot tub area. maybe if I wasn't so lazy i would try to do this at my home

 

[joka1]

Well we got tired of no grass.......... So updates are stairs finished for now, left side of path seeded and growing....right side sodded (well we ran out of sod) but you get the point........ Where u see the twine is where the flower beds/ mulch will begin and a new path to come later.

I have no $ for my car so I wanted to post something
