Hi everyone, new user here. I'm having some problems with my boxer. He's an all white boxer with a patch on his left eye, hence the name Petey. We're having some problems housebreaking him. We can take him out when he wakes up, after he eats, and when he starts to sniff, but then he'll come back in and in 15 minutes he'll have an accident. He also seems to have some trouble learning his name, even though we use it often with him. Leash training isn't going so well either, but it's getting better as we use a toy to just get him to start moving and let him get used to the leash. He's not at all deaf or blind, but could he be slow or not the coldest beer in the fridge? This Friday we will have had him 2 weeks and Sunday he'll be nine weeks old. Is this normal for boxers? I know they're smart dogs and can be stubborn at times, but if I need to return him because he's retarded or anything I should probably do it soon so I can get my money back from the breeder. We also have 2 bassett hounds that he plays well with, other than seeming to terrorize them, but I know that puppies go through a stage where it's always A#@-kick-o'clock. Any advice would be greatly appreciated-Rich and Juanita
