Two things about my puppy.?

No, you're not doing anything wrong, you're doing well. It's just that he's just not crate trained yet.

Throw high value treats such as pieces of cooked chicken into the crate from time to time and let him go in to get them. Don't close the door, leave it open at all times unless you need to crate him for good reason. Don't fight him to go into the crate, encourage him. Feed him all his meals in the crate with the door open. Sit next to the crate and read a book or something for a while when you put him in there. He'll settle eventually. It won't be long before he sees his crate as a good place to be.

With the sit command on leash. Train him at home to sit while on leash by holding a treat above his nose and move it back towards his head. This action will make him sit...and you praise like mad. When he's got it right at home you can take him out and use the same method.

I used to have a boxer. She was really smart too, but had an aggressive side to her. Maybe it's a characteristic within the breed?

You could try throwing a bone or his favorite toy in the cage. Also, you could try throwing in one of your dirty t-shirts. This would give off your scent and would help comfort your puppy. Maybe these things will help convert the puppy's "dungeon" into a "comfort zone."

As for the sitting thing, try keeping one of those treat pouches on you and give him a training treat every time she gets it right. He'll get the hang of it sooner or later.

Good luck! :)

Well I personally use treats for all the....examples to make him sit its ok to push on his butt do it a lot of time while saying sit really loudly then after a few times give him a treat and soon he'll do it on command.....and for his kennel you could put arrest in his pen and leave him there with a toy, and while he's in there make baby voices saying good boy or just little cute compliments and when you take him out rub him say good boy in a baby voice and give him a treat

is he an outside dog ? meaning do you always keep him in tha pin ?

some dogs just were born to be inside with tha family & they hate it outside . i'd never make my dog be in a pin , because they love my family to much to even be without someone for an hour .

he just more than likely doesn't want to be locked away from you .

& while you're walking him he is so distracted with a new surrounding & seeing everything else that he probably doesn't pay any attention to tha command .

he sounds smart but he's still a pup , be patient with him .

Well he's just a puppy so he won't know as much but if you want try to call a dog whisper.

and two things about my poopy. it's smelly and tastes like grapes!

GIVE YOUR DOG A CHANCE TO BE YOUR BEST FRIEND! Don't kick him out because you think he is untrainable, unruly, or because it is good for him to be outside. Instead, take the time to make him a part of your family, a part of your pack.

DOGS ARE PACK ANIMALS THAT THRIVE ON COMPANIONSHIP. Much like their wolf ancestors, dogs are very social. In fact, dogs are more social than humans and need to be part of human families. When you own a dog, you become the dog's pack and he wants to be with his pack. Forcing a dog to live outside with little or no human companionship is one of the most psychological damaging things a pet owner can do to a dog.

DOGS ARE ALSO DEN ANIMALS, meaning they like to have a safe, quiet, and secure place to sleep, rest, and hang out, such as your house. Your dog has a wonderful ability to learn and therefore to be housetrained. A dog who resides more in your house than in the yard is a much happier, content animal, because of the security of a den and your companionship.

BACKYARD DOGS HAVE MORE BEHAVIORAL PROBLEMS. Since all your dog's instincts are telling him it is not good to be left alone or isolated from his pack, your dog can become very stressed or anxious. A dog exhibits stress by digging, barking, howling or whining, chewing, escaping, and exhibiting hyperactivity. These problems can become so troublesome that your neighbors may complain about the barking, howling, property destruction, or your dog escaping.

BACKYARD DOGS ARE HARDER TO TRAIN. Considering a backyard dog does not develop a strong bond toward your family, he is harder to train than a dog allowed to be in the house with your family. This also makes him less responsive to commands.

BACKYARD DOGS HAVE HIGHER RATES OF EUTHANASIA. Backyard dogs are more often given up than house dogs because they were never looked upon as family by their human pack. Sadly, that means they are easier to dispose of. Backyard dogs do not have the opportunity to become socialized to people and other dogs, and may become so fearful or even vicious that they may have to be euthanized.

Why Dogs Should Be Indoor Pets: Outdoor Risks,

When people ask, 'why shouldn't dogs be kept outside' and 'how do I teach my dog to be an indoor dog,' share this good advice, which contains guidance from 'The Great, Awful Outdoors' by canine behavior expert and author Pat Miller, published in Your Dog newsletter.

Dogs like living indoors with their family. They are by nature pack animals, so keeping dogs outside denies them a place in the family pack. According to author and trainer Pat Miller, the reasons given for keeping dogs outdoors fall into two categories:

* Inappropriate dog behavior that can be managed and/or modified (example: 'the dog's not housetrained'), and

* People's preconceived notions, which can also be modified (example: 'dogs should be outside in the fresh air').

Certainly, dogs benefit from spending some time outside. But this time should consist of play sessions in the yard and walks around the neighborhood, not solitary confinement outdoors.

Problems that result from leaving dogs outdoors:

* Dogs kept outdoors are deprived of human companionship and have more trouble bonding with human family members. They have more trouble learning to interact properly with humans. And without adequate supervision and guidance from their owners, dogs can and will develop undesirable behaviors.

* Bored dogs left in yards often bark at every sound or movement to occupy themselves ... dig holes ... fence-fight with neighboring dogs and other animals ... chew and damage fencing, siding, decks and outdoor furnishings ... dig under fencing ... and climb or jump over fences. And when the owners do visit the dog in the yard, the dog is often out of control, having been starved of human companionship.

More risks:

* Escape from the yard, which can lead to being hit by a car, lost in the woods, hurt by people. Also: they can frighten and even bite people out of confusion.

* Taunting and cruelty from youths or adults on the other side of the fence.

* Theft.

* Poisoning.

* Neighbor complaints and threats; visits from animal control officers.

* Accidental release by a passerby, meter reader or service technician. And any resulting bites.

* Frustration from wanting to visit with passing dogs and humans, which can lead to barrier aggression, which fuels aggression towards other dogs and humans.

* Illness and chronic health problems from being out in hot, cold or wet weather.

* Sunburn or heatstroke.

* Flystrike on ears and other body parts, which can lead to open wounds and maggot infestation.

* Development of obsessive behaviors such as tail chasing, fly snapping and self-mutilation as a result of boredom and frustration.
