I think a larger yard where he has more room to run will be the ticket. When we take him up to the track at the middle school and let him run his heart out....it seems to curb his 'excited' nature tremendously.
Boxers aren't generaly very aggressive type dogs anyway....but we made it a point to always have him around the neighborhood kids. He loves them all and thinks they've come over just to play with him.
Other than just jumping up on people (we've used Random's suggestion to knee him lightly when he does that and it's helped tremendously)...he's actually a very good dog. He's a BARKER though!!!
