Ok, we got Gracie about 2 weeks ago. She is about 3 years old. First few times we had to leave her alone in the house we kenneled her and she did ok, but you could tell she isn't real fond of the kennel. We got her from a county animal shelter where she had been for about 5 weeks. Once earlier when she was having the run of the house while were outside for a little bit, she opened the fridge and helped herself to a couple of hotdogs that were on a plate. When we are home with her she has never even sniffed the fridge.

I had a boxer and a boxer/bulldog mix one time...i went out of town one weekend and left care to one of my brothers and he wasnt the best pet sitter...needless to say he left the two dogs out (free raom) all night and they got into the fridge and got into EVERYTHING!!!!! I come home to egg pieces, diarehha (sp?) b/c they got into and ate all my butter along with everything else i had in there!! Never figured out how they did it.

Now after that story...my best suggestion is to kennel. I am a belieiver in keeping your dogs kenneled if you cant be around. It is good for the safety of your pet, home and in your case your fridge

Hahaha!! I second setting up the video camera! send it into Americas Funniest Home Videos!

As for the solution... Sorry I am of no help-- I am a new boxer owner myself...

Sorry for your problems, but your story really put a smile on my face.  I'd love to know how she did it - but being a boxer, I'm not really surprised that she did it.

You could always get one of the little plastic locks for your fridge, you know the ones that are designed to keep toddlers from opening it.

What you really need to do is teach her how to get you a beer and bring it to you.  Then when you are watching football you don't have to get up I think Adam wants to teach Duke that.  

And sorry I really don't know how to fix your problem.

I would love to see a video too.  I think the child lock on the fridge that Eimer suggested is the best solution if you are uncomfortable crating.

Put a lock on the fridge?  That's what we do with Toddlers

:lol:  :lol:  :lol:

Get daddy a beer!  Love it.

Yeah I don't know how to fix that either, but damn that's a smart dog you got there.

Welcome to the forum...Don't think we are taking your question lightly, we are laughing cos it never fails to amaze the things that our babies are capable of....Believe me, it's very frustrating...My recomendation would be crating as well, it's not a punishment, or a bad thing really, it keeps your Boxer safe and also your house safe! But if you don't feel good about doing that, I would do the Baby lock like Eimear suggested....I also would love to see a video of how she does that, sounds like she's been trained....Can't wait to tell Marq about this, he was talking about teaching Angel to get him beer out of the frig, I want him to know what could possibly happen  :lol:

How funny! I'm sure you could win the 10,000 $ on America's funniest Home Videos!!! But seriously, I would kennel while you're not around. To make sure she wouldn't get in anything that could seriously hurt her.

 

[JessiesMom]

Some kind of child lock for the fridge wood work... otherwise there is no stopping her besides crating!
