How do you stop boxers from boxing? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

You take away their boxing gloves???

I bet some of our PetTalk dog experts will have a better answer! Welcome, PatchesMom!

Why do you want your Boxer to stop boxing?!?!
I would never want my boxer boy to stop boxing that is one of the traits that make them a Boxer!
Did you not research boxers before you got one? And not know that they box?
As with any behavior you are trying to stop, you need to train/show them not to do that, and show them what you expect instead. Punishment will Not work. Praise and Treats Do work.You need to redirect them to something they can do. Like toys. If they want to play get a toy and play with him/her. Eventually they will learn to get a toy to play with you. I really don't know what to say to help you because i have never heard of anyone not wanting their boxer to box at all. So i don't know what exactly would help. Could you fill me in a little more? Then maybe i could understand better to help you.
