How to Leash Train a Doberman the RIGHT Way

- Ever wonder what the RIGHT way is to leash train a Doberman? This training video is your crash course on how to effectively teach a Doberman to walk on a leash, without pulling. This video will go over how to teach your dog to yield to leash pressure, respond to the heel command, and how to correct pulling when it starts. I'll also discuss handling distractions during training and out in public. I've refined this method through continuous small tweaks from other common leash training methods to make it what I believe is the most effective for the Doberman breed specifically. If you take advantage of the Doberman's natural instincts then you'll be able to walk your dog, without leash pulling, far quicker!

Two more weeks until we get our dobe pup! These videos are invaluable. Thank you!!
Congrats 🎊
Less than 4 more months before i get mine. Wish time flew by faster
Oh my gosh congrats!🎉
Congrats all who are getting a doberman if getting european prepare for hell i have had mine its the best thing but be prepared for really hard nipping and jumping up and accidents and mess
11/07/20 for me. I am glued to his channel.
Looks like it’s going smooth. Then I look down at my 3 month old pup and cry lol
Haha. Arlo definitely has his off days too. But I was really impressed with him on this topic.
I wouldn't worry at 3 months old. My girl is 14 weeks and while I take her for usually 2 (short) walks a day, its still quite challenging. But I know she's getting and going too get better, its just repetition. There's been times where I've come home with her and thinking, man she walks worse than any of my other past pups did. But I probably just don't remember, just remember how great they walked as adults. So I'm not worrying about it yet, at 6 months I'd be worrying a bit but 3 months is still so young and learning. The first week it was a great success if she made it around the block without trying to go back home. lol
That's a great demonstration of leash training. A small tip- To make leash training a bit easier put the collar at the top portion of the neck. If you can control the head the body will follow. Keeping the leash at the bottom of the neck gives the dog too much leverage.
Actually a really great tip. A lot of owners use that "high and tight" collar approach for the walks (then a normal collar when not walking) and do really well. It also helps make the heel position a little easier to maintain since the dog's attachment point is a little further forward.
Mine will choke himself out. Nothing works. 2 trainers couldn't train him.
I'm actually looking forward to leash training our pup. Hopefully she won't be like our hippie trapped in our Lab's body and sniff every flower in sight lol
Hahaha i can't get over "hippie trapped in a lab's body" lmao
Trust me they smell and bite everything in this planet.
Haha good luck! Depending on the age it definitely might happen! Be ready for it, give your dog tons of breaks to sniff and be a dog but make it clear when it's time to "work" and focus (i.e. start walking).
Its embarrassing how fast I clicked on the notification 🤣BTW love your videos!
Thanks so much!!! Glad you were looking forward to the video!
You are so helpful! Thanks for all you do!
Love your content. Very helpfull
Great content per usual! Thank you for your passion and commitment to spreading knowledge on the breed!
I love these videos! Thanks for putting these out there!
Thank you for the insights
I can't wait till I get my pup. I would love to see more training videos!
This channel is a work of passion 👏👏👏😍😍
Getting my first Doberman soon! Been watching your videos non stop and they are gonna be a great help! Thank you so much for sharing all this information!!
Thanks for sharing
I watched this video yesterday, and this has helped me tremendously with walking with my pup. Thank you so much!!
Picking up our red and tan Doberman boy tomorrow! Thanks for the tips and your dedication to the breed.
Thank you again still in the middle of training my 15 week old. You encourage me so much!
This guy is a legend keep up the brilliant work your so helpful
I’m glad I came across your videos I get my pup in September since she’ll be here mid July and I’ve been just trying to educate myself so much in these type of things and you make me feel more confident about it
Solid, leash training advice, that WORKS, for Dobies of any other breed.
Once again, very well done, John!
Thank you very much. Look forward to trying it
your videos are brilliant thanks you for this help
Great video on teaching to heel!
thank you for these videos! I just a got a doberman and I'm loving him!!
We get our baby Doberman in 3 weeks! Your videos are great to follow! Thank you for taking your time to make these!
I have a 4 month old Australian Shepherd and I have found your videos super helpful. Thanks you !
Awww...He's soo cute❤️
You rock! I love that you are encouraging about the length of time it takes, and the "hills and valleys" portion. This is much like teaching a horse to lead, except the animal is bigger and can step on your foot, lol. Good stuff!! I'm on your channel everyday now.😊
Love seeing Arlo's progression. We get our pup in three weeks. I need that posting ears tutorial John lol
this is so helpful i learned so much i can't wait to train my new doberman
Great stuff. Pup pick up next weekend. Trying to get ready!!
Amazing to see how well u leash train him without pinch collar.. seen many other videos where people use pinch collar as an easy way out.. u prove it takes patience and effort n most of all love to train them...
thank you so much for this video!!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank u so much, I love that u cover trouble shooting too, as it doesn't always go well at first. Ive just found u, as struggling with our 12 month Dobbie. You are exactly what I have been looking for. Im off to your website now. Again Thank you, you're so helpful. 😊
LOVE THIS! i have 2 months to soak in all the training information before i bring my puppy home!! binging every video you made rn!
Thanks!
John your grasp of the nuances and what sets you apart from other dog trainers. I went back and looked at the videos for my aunt's new puppy it is a Bichon scary
Omg best breed ever! I just received my European Doberman he's 12 weeks and watching your channel has been amazing for me and my sweet boy. You are making training a breeze.
Really nice....makes sense.
Great advice. It's been a tuff 4 months. But we are learning much better. Up and down up and down
Watching these videos made me actively look for a Dobermann Pinscher. I even uploaded some videos to showcase the apartment living with kids and a Dobie. Thanks John Walter.
Thank you so much John! This is the video I was looking for for the past 2 weeks... I have started this with my dobie...and I know this will work!..you've just earned another subscriber.. Thanks again.. love from India 🇮🇳♥️
love your vids sir. My wife called you a few weeks back looking for Dobe pups. We found an awesome breeder and should have ours sometime in august! I really appreciate the time, information, and dedication you put into your videos. Appreciate you sir!
Thank you!!!
Lost my ten year old Doberman in February...I miss him so much! We are thinking about getting a puppy in the fall. These videos are a fabulous refresher for me!
Great video. Thanks for the information.
No prob Alpha, glad you liked it!
This really helped a lot. I love your videos!
Awesome! Thank you! So glad to hear it. You'll do great! Don't be a stranger!
I watch any video I can find of you and Arlo and I must say they are fantastic and have helped myself,my wife,and Remi our Euro Dobie. He just turned 3 months, used your techniques for sit,stay,down and a few more and he responds even in highly distracted areas and with another dog,my 7yr old Westie around! For the most part. Please don't ever stop making Dobie videos, they are truly so helpful.
Great information! Thank you. I will start my leash training.
So glad you enjoyed it Pam! Good luck and hang in there. It's not always easy (there are bumps in the road) but you'll make it through, you know what to do!
Found it! Love your content
I just bought my Doberman ! I’m getting it in two months so she can be with her mom. I know they need mom until at least 2 months so having these videos to learn from until I have her in my grasp is very good ! Thank you ❤️❤️
Excellent video, these are the types of videos i enjoy and find them very informative . Keep the training videos coming please, they are really appreciated greatly
So glad you liked it! Yeah training videos are some of my favorite for sure. Kind of like by bread and butter there... I want to make so many types of Doberman videos but if I was only able to stick to one, it would be training videos for sure!
Really appreciate this video!!!
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for the progression pause 15:33 more tutorials in general should do the same because it can be easily discouraging learning something new in the “instant” world we live in today🙏🏿
I have 2 Weimaraners and they seems to have a very similar temperament.
Your training for the Doberman, has been the most helpful source of info that I've found.
Very helpful. Thank you
This is the best utube channel to learn how to train your Doberman
I really appreciate your videos. I got my dober back in July for my birthday and I have been following you since sometime around then. I think my Russell is 2 months younger than your Arlow. But everything you have shown I have followed and it has been going super great. This is my first dog ever in my life and you are correct in your statements before, dobers are a great dog for first time owners and families. He loves and requires alot of attention as well but because of your videos, it has been a great help!! Thank you. ♥️
I love your Chanel we just our Lulu Doberman she’s 9 weeks old full of energy she’s actually my second dobie I ever own I’m crazy about Doberman breed , I like to thank you for all those great tips and information about Doberman I really appreciate that
Very helpfull, thanks a lot great video
So glad it was helpful!
Great video, hope you are doing well! Stay safe and keep providing us with information in this hard time!
Thanks Ashar! So glad you are enjoying the info... will do!
@@DobermanPlanet its rare to find such great info for free on a single majestic breed for free.
I love all your videos Keep doing them cooper most be so proud of his dad 🥺
Thanks Jereny! Really means a lot. We sure miss him.
Great Info Thanks Will use you for references and channel is very helpful this is my second Dobe 9 weeks getting ears done Wednesday.
I Subbed.🇺🇸🍻🤜🏻
I have been watching you for a couple of months and you are amazing I dont know what I would do without you, I am getting my dobe pup soon so your content is so very helpful, keep up the good work!!!!!!!
That's so awesome to hear, thank you so much! Really means a lot! Good luck, you know what to do! You'll do great!
Hey man I love your vids they help me out a lot and I was just wondering how old should the Doberman be to get it and when is a good age to start basic training
great video.. good tips.. now i just need to remember this video when i get a dog one year from now lol
Thank you for your videos! My family and I have been binge watching them! Haha! We're planning on having a doberman next year❤ New subbie here! Love and support from the Philippines!
That is awesome! So glad you have been enjoying the videos... really means so much. Don't be a stranger in the comments section. I'm definitely going to want updates when you get your Dobie!
So thankful for this channel. You are on point with every tip you've given. It provides doberman-specific information which I learned is VITAL for 1st time doberman owners. There are SO many methods in leash training.
When I first got Otto, I just randomly Googled leash training for any dog. I tried one technique where I stop when the dog gets ahead of me and I give him a treat when the dog comes back to my side. So Otto computed that as: "If I want a treat, I can just run ahead of my mom. She'll give me a treat when I come back." lol I really appreciate you being transparent and presenting your knowledge as tons of tips that rest on basic principles as opposed to one "dead set" method. Dobies have different personalities. Your videos give me space to improvise in that respect.
OMG the routine thing is sooo true. My seven month old babyboo will bark her life out at five in the evening for her walk. This guy knows what he’s doing
Thank you for these wonderful videos, I can't watch them fast enough! We sincerely appreciate your expertise and generosity. In terms of leash training, I feel like I am missing one major point---what do we do until leash training? Like, when we take her to socialize, and to exercise, etc., she will need to be on a leash but she won't have received much training yet. I understand we should have specific leash training times each day, but should we be worried about the lack of training when taking her to socialize and walks, etc.? Do we just give her freedom? Does that make sense? Thanks!
Great video. Enjoy watching live training
Thanks 👍 So glad you liked this one!
Your videos are just so well done. Everything I need to know its all here and you explain so well and so easy to understand!! Got my Doberman pup Zeta last week! 10weeks old and she is already so incredibly smart!! (A little diva) Already training her and your videos are just THE BEST. Thanks man! :)
Hey how
Is she now
Yes thanks i need to start leash training My dog summer thxs si much for all You have done love You and i Will allways Will❤️❤️❤️
Thanks so much! Good luck with the training! You'll do great, just remember to stay consistent.
you have no idea how much i have needed this video i just got a doberman about 3 months ago and let me tell you i have needed this video since i was born thank you so much
Haha so glad you found it useful! Definitely! Hang in there, you know what to do. Just stay consistent!
These methods are working well with my 10 month old adopted Dobie. She is still acting like a puppy...Squirrel!!! 😆 but we are getting there!❤
I just know you are the number one channel I’m going to get back to when raising my very own first Doberman! 😊
Wow thank you so much! I'm excited for you to get your first Dobie! It'll be life changing for sure!
@@DobermanPlanet Thank you sm!
We are really having trouble with our dobi and our walks lol. This was really helpful. Thanks :D
Our 4 month old will not walk at all. She wants to play not walk. Feel like giving up 😖
So glad this video came at a good time! If I had to guess without knowing ANY of the details of what you are struggling with I'd say to take a few steps back. You might be progressing too fast with the walking. So easy to do that almost everyone messes up there. Anyway good luck I know you'll do it, you know what to do!
Hey John, great video as usual! It would be awesome if you could do a video on ear posting. Getting a dog in the summer and kind of nervous about it.
Yeah it's in the works... but will be going out to my newsletter crew first. www.DobermanPlanet.com/newsletter
Brandon, your channel is an absolute gem for a Doberman owner, I wish I had discovered it months ago. Our Doberman is 1 year and 3 months old, she is always ahead when we walk and pulls me very often in all directions. If I start this technique now, will it not be too late?)
These videos have been so helpful! How do you socialize an 8 week old pup if they don’t have leash training yet? Thank you!
I was waiting for this video
So glad! Yeah quite a few of you requested it! I was definitely listening!!!
I love how he looks to you for guidance.
If u have a doberman they look into ur eyes not only for guidance but cos they love u it's such a special feeling I never hot from any other dog and mines 8months old much bigger than his dog he's dark dark brown tho and same colour socks they called on his legs. But when mine hits me don't know his all doberman do this but he wraps his head around mine from the back and hugs that way it's amazing very very hard dog to train tho.
Training takes time and patience. Dobies are very smart and willing to please.
Look how smart he is ❤️!
Question: Have you already done an ear posting tutorial? I’m dying to know how you got his ears to look so perfect.
Yesssss!
Been watching all your videos great info. I had a German shepherd and sadly lost him 2 weeks ago love the breed and they’re so beautiful and smart. I’m thinking of getting a Doberman next but really would love to know who you got arlo from
Needed this get my pup this week!!!
Where did u get your pup 🥺I want to get one
Congrats Talia! You'll do great!
Fun facts... I'm mot a dog owner (and my attention span compares to Arlo 🤣) but you got me watching this whole video with so much interest! By the way, I eventually want to adopt a German shepherd, but I still haven't found a channel quite like yours - so I accidentally got hooked and now my interest in Dobermans (and dogs in general) is growing like Arlo is improving his leash behaviour 🤣
'Attention span of a gnat' - perfect way of describing a young Dobe who is distracted by cats, squirrels and bits of paper etc that blow by on the wind. A whole new world for these awesome dogs ! Awesome video man ! Once again, I take my hat off to you, the perfect Ambassador for the perfect breed.
So glad you enjoyed the video Michael! Haha yeah when they're young and the world is new it's so hard for them sometimes. Haha. Much appreciate the kind words and support man... seriously... means a lot!
Our Doberman pup is coming in a month. These videos are really really helping us prepare.
lucky
My Doberman is 10 weeks old is that to early to start leash training? Thank you for all your videos, it’s amazing help
Thank you so much for all these videos!!!! We are getting our first doberman puppy in one month and all of this helped us a lo, we are learning a bit everyday with you it's so good!! At what age do you recommend to start the training with the leash we are leaving in a city and might needed from beginning ? thank you so much for your help John!! Manon :)
Great trainer. Gave me new tips and tips on where I was going wrong. I could do with tips on feeding. I have a 48 kilo Norfolk German Shepard just under 2 yrs old, but he’s a fussy eater doesn’t like eating Kible dry foods.
Our dobie, leash training has been a trip. He has been walked on a leash his whole life. He is a lil over a year and a half. He walks now with the leash slacked at my side. The only time he pulls now is if he sees a squirrel. I would say the number 1 thing to remember when your in the fits of training is to every once in awhile just stop and tell your dog he is the bestest dog ever. Dogs want to please you naturally but if your all work on the leash they can sometimes forget its their best friend thats wielding the leash. Overriding instincts and lots of love is how hes gotten as good as he is.
Also, Just know that no matter how well behaved your doberman is he is gonna be judged in public. Although i get all sorts of positive comments about how sweet and mature my boy is, I also get just as many if not more comments that are stereotypes about the breed. Ive had people cross the road to the other sidewalk around my boy. Ive had joggers turn around on the bike trail. Ive had bikers get off their bikes and walk them by my dog. Just keep on keeping on and strive to prove people wrong one encounter at a time.
Compliments!!! ALL of your videos offer great educational value. The content is presented in a professional (but not over produced) manner. You pack a lot of information into your videos. Keep up the great work! Hug Arlo for me brother.
Awesome video! When do you start training? At what age? How do you walk your puppy when it's really young?
How did you know that I was starting to do this with my dobie?!
Been working on my mind reading skills Noey! Haha. Just kidding. So glad it came at a good time for you!!
Hi! Let me start by saying amazing videos, I absolutely love your channel. I’m getting my first Doberman pup in three days, and leash training is going to be absolutely critical for us because we don’t have a yard. Lots of beautiful nature around us to walk him in, but it’s not fenced off, so he will be on a leash from day one. Given these circumstances, I am not able to take the slow measured approach you advise. Do you have any tips on how to make a success out of leash training when he needs to be on the leash so constantly, from 8 weeks old?
A harness is also a good thing to start training with too !
My puppy understand spanish only and when I'm training him on the leash when he said heel I'll say quedate quieto wey😂 and he will sit lol
that’s funny. my pit bull only understands spanish as well so i say quieto fiercely
😂 Nice and welldone.
JAJAJAJJAAJJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJ
🤣🤣🤣do funny!! A AM from belgium but my doberman Finn speak inglich and spanich and Finn understand it also!! Smart doby Finn 😁❤🐾🐾🐾🐾
Jaja, idd nederlands! Geen duits. 😅😁🐾🐾🐾
Hi
I really enjoyed your videos
Do you have a video, on getting Doberman to listen while off the leach?
I having a great time with my 4month old. Boy
hi! very helpful video thank you!! Im preping for the arrival of my dobie and I’m just wondering if I should take my doberman for walks even though i don’t have the leash technique down pat already. what do you think?
