He'd better, or else he may not have a future in his boxer shorts.

Scarey thought. I'll bet she dives under the bed when she hears, "Bang."
Oh, well...I'm sure that's better than diving INTO the bed. Somebody is being spared a terrible fate.

When Mama (Co-Pilot) is happy, everybody's happy! Pompano will be petting a
little Boxer pup soon. They can be taught to retrieve, but cold water might be a problem. They're sorta of a warm blooded breed. Had one that would
actually dive under water to retrieve stuff. Stayed under so long one time that I thought a gator had got it.

Hit the link and scroll down to Imperial Muslim Army...
There was a Muslim martial artist named Wang and a Chinese Muslim General named Dong.
David Letterman used to talk about having "a party in his pants",
but a full blown Boxer Rebellion? 
No wonder those puppies are afraid of fireworks!

That picture almost makes me want to get another Boxer pup. But, when I think of all the other aspects of having one, a loving pet, a protective pet,
a damn good dog....Jeez! Makes me want to have another Boxer!

Within the subject of dog training, how do you get a dog (lab) to stop digging in the landscape and chewing up plants?

Oh..hahaha...there's nothing to it. I'm a Vet in Beverly Hills and what I do is cut off their feet and pull their teeth.
Guaranteed results and I charge a shtload for my services 'cause I'm really good.
Love your animal more than yourself. That's what they do for you.

So it does it because its mad at me becuase I don't love it enough? I do not love animals more than myself or other people.
Anyone else have a helpful versus smartass comment?

Electric Fence
First off, talk to your vet and get an opinion.
That being said, we have had great success with an electric fence that delivers a mild shock conveyed by battery to a thin wire defining the area
where you don't want your dog(s) to go.
BUT, do not put it up and just assume that it will do the job on its own. Supervise your dogs primary encounters to make sure they are safe and to
offer negative verbal reinforcement when they encounter the fence.
In our experience, it only took a couple of times before all the puppies learned to avoid the wire. The wire is still up, but we disconnected the
battery years ago.

I just googled your question under: Dog behavior digging
There is a lot there. Go read!
Is your dog a puppy? If so, it will be easier to stop his digging.
My dog has dug 2 holes on the north side of the house, NOT next to the foundation. Then he sits in them on hot days. Sometimes I squirt water in the
holes to keep him comfortable. He wouldn't use the Igloo Dog House that I got a few years ago. These holes are not in landscaped areas and for me,
they do no harm.
He also buries bones but he tries to do this out of my sight and not in landscaped areas.
I am lucky in that he seems to instinctively know to not dig in the garden.
The basic rule for dog training is to provide alternative interests and activities. Give the dog plenty of exercise and sufficient time with you.
Reinforcement is needed; consistently say "no" for bad behavior and take him to an alternate area where digging is OK. Provide loose
dirt and maybe some intriguing smells where it is OK to dig. Reward him when he complies.

Oh well, we can't help ourselves can we?
I would rather bore someone (alledgedly human) to death than let a decent opportunity to answer a serious inquiry about dog behavior go unanswered or
get lost in chatter clutter.

just give up, and consider replanting when the dog has grown older and mellower
another solution: plant cactus and thorny vegetation (such vegetation fits the baja theme).
from my experience, when our dogs could run free (neighborhood with no fences or leash law), they never used plants as chew toys, but living in
smaller yard with fence, they get bored and chew anything.
most dogs like to dig holes, why ya wanna deprive him/her of that fun?
when you picked a lab, did you think he/she was not gonna chew and dig everything? that big dog needs to let his energy out. perhaps you could trade
your dog for a teacup poodle?

Sprinkle some black pepper in the area. It'll give him the sneezes!

Roger, perhaps she thinks your true ancestry is from Pompey.
I love the Italian language. So beautiful.
I recall a friend of the family who always addressed her husband as - 'Fiore'. He was a big hulking man, but to her he was 'Fiore'.
