We trained him ourselves, when he was at the worst of his behavioural problems I was on the verge of having a trainer come round but I went into great detail in my emails to a couple of them and none replied haha. Not long after that we invested in the crate though and everything seemed to get a lot better then!

He's always had pretty bad separation anxiety which is why I think he used to mess so quickly if we left him. We could literally have closed the kitchen door, waited 20 seconds and if we'd go back in there'd be a poo which he'd then roll in as soon as he saw the unimpressed reaction (usually me having a nervous breakdown). So he used to have to be bathed every day as well! He's never been particularly fussed about bedtime as he likes his sleep and seems to enjoy being in his little enclosed area!

I always wanted a boxer too since I was little and my Nan had one. He was so placid and well behaved. Despite all the stress that Toby's put us both through I think we'd both get another boxer pup tomorrow because the hard work is just so worth it! Working from home is a bonus too!
