Adopt A Boxer Rescue promotes the need
for active participation of owners in the training of their dogs.
In are increasing attempt to try and prevent more dogs from becoming strays
or being surrendered due to behavior issues, AABR supports the need for
owners to become active partners in their dog's training. AABR hosts
training events from time to time in our area, and will also post other
training events that we feel will assist our efforts towards this goal.
