First, there are many differences between a boxer obedience class instructor and a boxer trainer. A boxer trainer is a person who is trained to teach your boxer to do certain specific things in a one-on-one situation. An obedience class instructor, on the other hand, is a person who specializes in teaching you how to better train your own boxer to do whatever you want it to do.
Dachshunds may be small and cute, but they are also the smallest hunting breed. They were bred to be low to the ground, which allows them to enter and maneuver through tunnels and chase prey easily.
Another important thing that you should keep in mind about boxer obedience class is that there will be several DOGS and owners there. You and your boxer will get an opportunity to socialize and learn from others. However, you will not get as much one-on-one attention as you would if a boxer trainer came to your home.
While most dogs shed, poodles are actually incapable of shedding. That fact makes them excellent house pets, since they don't get the furniture covered in fur. Also, due to the nature of their fur and the fact that they do not shed, most people with dog allergies aren't allergic to poodles.
If you do decide to take your boxer to obedience classes, be sure to do some research first. There are a few things to consider. You'll want to find a class that is held on days and times that fit your schedule, first of all. Also, you may want to find a class that is specifically for boxers that are the same size or age as yours. A small boxer might not benefit from a class where the other DOGS are larger, just as a large DOG may not benefit from a class full of small DOGS.
In the original 101 Dalmatians movie, Pongo has 72 spots, Perdita has 68 and each of the puppies has 32. Real dalmations have unique numbers and patterns of spots, almost like a human beigns fingerprint.
When you think you've found a class, meet with the instructor. Don't be afraid to ask questions and, if possible, observe a class or two before enrolling. You may also want to ask the instructor if your entire family is welcome in the class. If space permits, most good instructors will not only agree to that, they'll usually recommend it.
