Dogs love to run and play, though depending on where you live, such actions may not be a daily option. More and more pet owners are moving to apartment complexes that just don't have enough elbowroom for humans, let alone boxers. While many newer apartment complexes are now being created with 'Doggie Playgrounds', finding a local DOG park is usually the only option, for boxer owners living in the city, to provide a boxer-friendly and safe environment for their beloved pets.

Local city government offices should know such details as well, so information should be readily available. Finding a local DOG park online is also an option, as many city governments offer such areas through their Departments of Recreation.

Before you take your boxer to a DOG park and let him loose, make sure that he will get along with other boxers within the same area. Take your boxer on outings to determine whether or not he or she will react well to different DOG breeds, sizes and temperaments. There's nothing worse than taking your boxer to a local DOG park and then having to break up a boxerfight! If your boxer is aggressive around other DOGS, or reacts with fear to other DOGS, refrain from taking him or her to a local DOG park, not only for the safety of your boxer, but other DOGS and owners as well. Then, take your boxer when the park is not busy, even if it means some inconvenience for you. Both you and your boxer will need to get acclimated to the new environment.
