# Dog School for Humans ® ## Posts - [Buddy's Boxer Rescue](https://dogschoolforhumans.com/boxer-rescue/): Buddy’s Boxer Rescue is a small UK charity run by volunteers who rescue and rehome Boxer dogs and other breeds when they can. They take in dogs who have been abandoned, neglected or can no longer stay in their current homes, giving them somewhere safe while they find the right new home. As you might have gathered, Boxers have a pretty special place in my heart. ❤️ I support the work Buddy’s Boxer Rescue does and, if you’re looking to adopt a Boxer, foster, volunteer, donate or simply find out more about the dogs currently needing homes, they’re well worth following. ...

Err on the cautious side and keep globes up at a height or in cabinets where they can’t be knocked off by enthusiastic tail wags or playing Also hand baked ornaments, lots of ‘salt dough’ being hung adorns the home and on trees These ...

It’s about behaviour, stress and emotional regulation — because Christmas is a lot for dogs. Christmas is noisy. The house smells different. Furniture moves. People arrive. Routines disappear. And then we act surprised when dogs struggle. Dogs don’t find Christmas exciting. They find it confusing and overwhelming. More people More staring More touching More noise More expectations All layered on top of each other. Behaviour doesn’t happen “out of nowhere” Behaviour happens for a reason Pacing Whining Clinginess Growling Snapping Hiding Stealing things Not settling These aren’t bad dogs. ...

MY FIRST BOXER Kipper. The dog that changed my life. I was 25, a single parent of two young children, and thought I was getting a dog from Boxer Rescue. Turns out it wasn’t Boxer Rescue. It was someone posing as them and selling a dog who had obviously been very badly treated. Kipper was so thin you could see his spine. He had bald patches and fleas. He came with a metal choke chain and a shabby lead. That was all ...
