[QUOTE="skeeter, post: 269415, member: 439"] one word of warning on the rawhides. If you get the big bone looking kind with the knots on the ends - be careful. One of our boxers would get one end really mushy, then sit and shake the thing, whacking the walls with the hard end! You may need to limit where he can go in the house at night. I know you don't want to cage him - but maybe gate off some rooms? I'm kinda surprised he's not sleeping in your room - ours always have (and try to get in the beds, but aren't allowed). As for keeping down - this may sound cruel, but it's effective. Knee him in the chest whenever he jumps up. Then make him sit. Continue until you just have to touch him, and he sits, until eventually you can say "sit" and he won't jump up. You have to work with these boys. But once they learn it - they learn it for life. Oh - and the males really aren't "mature" until they hit about 2 years old. They stay goofy all their lives, however. [/QUOTE]
