Always commend the Boxer for heeding your orders expediently! A treat is anything that your Boxer wants and is happy to earn. Food is a great reward but other rewards could be oral admiration and playthings. Many shorter sessions are demonstrated to be more effective than 1 long one. Training should not involve any negative components or consequences. There should be no shouting, no hitting or smacking, no leash jerking on training leashes or collars, and absolutely no electricity! Each training session should be enjoyable and positive with praise for a job well done.
