Male and Female Boxer 2years old

Question
Hello,

I have a male boxer that is 2 years old and a female boxer that is 2 years old as well. My female just came out of her heat and now my male is being very aggressive with her. He is now peeing and pooping in the house even after we go out for our walks. He is also has a very bad odor, I can take him a bath once a week and he still smell bad and she doesn't. Can you help me with him, I think he wants attention but we give then the same attention! He's a big baby by the way and spoiled!!!!

Answer
Hi Kathy,

It might be worth taking him to the vet to be sure there's nothing going on.  Changed behavior and inappropriate elimination would be more expected while your female is in season, rather than after she's out.  The odor is also not usual; bathing may actually be complicating the matter, as his skin is working overtime to produce the oils that are stripped by the shampoo.
