I’m 61 and have had Dobes my whole life. This video (and channel) is right on point. This guy knows the Doberman breed…well!
Thanks so much, Lori! Your positive words are encouraging to hear!
What do you do about the successive barking ?
im 64 and same for me
I agree💯
when my family member accidentally opened the door without warning, my dobie came close to the door but came back when called. on the other hand, in a similar situation, my pomeranian dashed off, went into a neighbor's house and started playing with their kids... truly, doberman supremacy is real 🤣
Haha! You have a great Dobie listener, at least!
I think #3 is especially important and missed in so many instances. I will never forget in our early years with our second male I was so convinced he was dog aggressive that our vet would make us wait in the exam room until all dogs were clear of the waiting room before we could check out. It wasn't until I turned around in our back yard one day and found him happily playing with a strange dog that had wandered in I realized he wasn't dog aggressive at all, he was only reacting to my anxiety about him being around other dogs and 'protecting' me from the 'threat'. I was mind-blown!
Oh wow!! That's a testimony to how well they can read their owner's emotions. It's great that you were able to figure that out and that he was protecting you, though! Kudos to him!
Just rescued a ~5 month old dobie from a local shelter last week! Definitely still in the nipping stage. Also learned after the fact that he was deaf - the foster didn’t know or at least inform me. After further research I came across DINGs which I guess isn’t uncommon for Dobermans and I’m 95% sure he has it based on how clumsy he is and being deaf of course. Also explains why a purebred Doberman was at a shelter. Learning as much as I can about training Dobermans and deaf dogs in general and hoping it goes smoothly, wish me luck and thanks for the videos!
Keep him he will love and protect you love him. ❤️
These dogs practically read your mind. I bet he would be just fine with hand signals. I have one, I wish I could afford 2.
@@pameladenny4733 update: he’s doing great! Learning very quickly with my training. I will likely reach out to a professional for additional training but basics are going well!
Honestly my Doberman does commands more based on visual cues than just words so I’m sure things will be fine! But yes do not miss the biting stage! It was ROUGH haha 😂but trust me they do calm down! Just last night my 1 year dobie and I were playing and my hand was in his mouth and I was like wow so gentle! A year ago I wouldn’t have believed it lol
My girl is 6 months next week and your videos have been so helpful since we started researching getting a doberman last year!!!
That's great to hear, Mia! So glad you've been able to get some useful nuggets of information from the videos!
It's so true about them not trying to escape. My last Dobie was extremely intelligent. I would leave for work and he had access to the outside. I would leave and come home and he would greet me at the door. I started getting letters from the postman that if my dog was outside he would not deliver the mail. I was like this is odd, my dog is never out front. After a few more letters, I was like maybe someone's dog is hanging out around my front yard. Then one day my next door neighbor came over and said "hey just to let you know your dog met me when I pulled up into the driveway today". She knew what Max looked like. I was like that can't be he greeted me inside the house at the front door today when I came home. I was like something is going on here. I went around the yard to check for holes or some other way he was getting out. We had a rod iron fence at the side of the house, but he was way too big to fit through the bars. So I took him out in the front yard and said, Max get in the house. He went up the hill covered in ice plant on the left side of the house, pushed one of the rod iron bars and it moved and he went through. He would leave the house, go around the to the side, and get out in the front, and before I came home, he would go back inside the house. He had all the chances in the world to leave and go explore but he didn't.
Spot on, John. Very good pointers/tips for novice Doberman owners. Wish there had been videos like this in our early years with this amazing breed. We learned over time, but it would have been such an easier learning curve with awesome education like this.
Thank you, Sheilah! It's great to hear positive feedback like that. You are much appreciated as well!
I had a doberman shepherd for +13 years - such a wonderful animal and companion.
I have a 50/50 Treeing Walker Hound and Doberman. she definitely got so many traits from both breeds, right down to her bark. she's such a good old girl and definitely the best dog I've ever owned.
So true... My little guy has Separation axiety whenever I leave home - trying to learn him to not to bark or yell a lot by giving treats when I'm going out. Same for hyperactivity and stilling :) A lot of training mixed with fun and it's fine.
Oh for the years I’ve had many Dobermans one from a breeder the rest from the shelter. I found walking them and hold the biscuits and give it to people who want to pet them. They were all great with my kids too.
My doberman loves her agility course. Getting her attention before and sometimes in between the course is hard since she is deaf. Cersei is amazing at doing the course- tug of war-hide and seek and fetching/ bringing toys back. It's really exciting seeing her accomplish so much being deaf. Thank you again for sharing your knowledge with us that has helped in ways you can not imagine with a deaf doberman
My Dobie girl is the most well behaved, patient and stoic dog in the world, as long as you keep her daily routine intact.
She is on schedule with her inner clock, and if you are not up with the laser and teaser stick at a certain time of a day, that bugging demon comes out.
I love her to death ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Again,nice video John, thanks, love from Belgium's biggerst fans, Finn the Dobermann and Maja
Always great to hear from you, Maja! Give Finn a treat from us!
@@DobermanPlanet 😃🐾🐾 thanks John
This make me feel so sad.. my European/American Doberman passed away around 4am yesterday, it was so awful to see and didn’t expect him to leave so soon, I miss my Hercules
I’m so sorry for your loss.
Oh no! We are so sorry to hear that. Hercules will always have a special place in your heart. Our thoughts and condolences are with you during this difficult time of grieving.
@@DobermanPlanet Thank you so much, today I came to pick up his ashes at a funeral home, I feel better he’s resting but I appreciate the comment I watched all your videos when we first got him and it helped us alot
So sorry for your loss. My girl is 3 yrs and I'm so afraid she will go before her time. I hope she makes it to 10 if not more.
Your videos are amazing John!
So glad you like them, Mason! Thanks for the positive feedback about the channel!
Much appreciated!
GREAT video! I disagree a bit about the 5th smartest category. I've had 6 dobermans two European and 4 pinchers. Also 4 German shepherds. I have read and with personal experience I VOTE the dobe is the 3rd smartest 😁
Love your Videos John,
love your channel!!🐾❤🙋♀️🤗
Thank you, Silvia! Your support means so much!
We've learned so much from your channel!
Picking up my first dog and it’s a Doberman. I’m super excited!! Thank you for making these videos.
Very helpfull, thanks so much.
Love everything we've been seeing. Already watched so many of your videos. Just got our new pup, Arlo (Named him before finding your channel...lol), and loving every bit of him. Excited to jump into training to nip a few of these habits in the bud. :D Thank you for everything you do.
I love these videos man! Started watching these before I got my boy and they’ve been sooooo helpful! He turned 1 back in September and I’m still working with the separation anxiety as I’m a musician and can’t take him all my gigs. Other than that, we have our routines and thankfully he isn’t as high energy as his brother. If you still want videos of other people and their Dobermans, I have some I can share as well as his Instagram page that shows him as a puppy all the way to now. Keep up the videos man!
Thoroughly enjoyed this expert vid ❣️
Lovely video John!!! U nailed it...such amazing breed. Love n hugs to Arlo
My first Dobe, would tattle on the other dogs if they were doing something they weren't supposed to do. Nose Work definitely helps with the anxiety. Sara Ondrako has an awesome video on how to make a snuffle mat with a pocket. My younger Dobe won't eat his lunch if we put it in his dish. Has to be in his snuffle mat. He also loves the puzzle toys, especially the ones where they have to get things out of the stuffed log or a jolly roller. In fact, once he does get it out, he brings both items to us as if to say again - and make it harder this time or add more stuff for me to get out of the stuffed log. Lol. Have to say my guys are couch potatoes in the house, but I insist on it - routine, consistency, etc. My older one has a high prey drive so headed to a barn hunt next week - Instinct and Novice. Enjoy that Dobe!
They are also roto rooters - always nudging you to keep petting them. Taught the one that does it the most to rest his head on my knee rather than flip my hand up as if to say - you will pet me now. It's just a nicer way of saying please pet me Mom. How can you resist, right? Now, my less confident Dobe kind of has a split personality that you usually only see in little dogs. Yeah, pet me, and then rrrraaahh. As if he's saying, that's enough. We had to keep a journal for him - when it was happening, what was triggering it. Eventually came to the conclusion, he's not as touchy feely as his brother. Definitely not a morning dog, and cranky at night too, so we got him used to a muzzle and helped change the trigger. Now he gets treats and doesn't growl or snap, but I still have to watch him. No petting when it's movie time. He has to be in his place or he can go in the kitchen if he'd rather be alone. Hope that helps.
Excellent channel my doberman has experienced all of those especially the high energy one. She gets so much running around I no longer have a front yard -- it's all dirt in a huge circle. Keep up the fantastic articles. Thank you
Thank you, Linda! Haha they do have a TON of energy. Here is an activity list if you'd like to do something different and bonding with her: www.dobermanplanet.com/doberman-exercise-and-activity-ideas/.
We are looking forward to getting our new Doberman puppy this January. It will be a new experience for us, but we are excited to welcome him to our home. Thank you for all knowledge you give. Your videos really help out a lot.
Nailed it, John! Every point that you brought up I was laughing/groaning to myself "Yup, that's Ramsey!" I will be sure to try out some of your helpful tips! However, my Remi is a VERY destructive chewer. Basically, if it can't be safely eaten/digested I've stopped buying toys for him because he turns them to shreds and piles of stuffing hours after getting them! (He did have an 'indestructible' toy once, that lasted a day-and-a-half...) Even puzzle toys that produce treats, he won't outright destroy them right away, but he definitely does take pleasure in tearing his things apart (he even watches me as he's doing it) Do you have any suggestions/recommendations for how to stop the destructive chewing? All I can confidently buy him right now are bones and edible chews like salmon skins, and my house is starting to look like the home of a serial killer because of all of the dog bones hahaha Any advice is appreciated!!
Another great video - thx a lot! You're a true ambassador of this amazing breed! I made the same experiences with my 13 months old male European Doberman; especially the nipping/biting phase within the first 6 months - dreadful! I looked like a living scratching post....lol! thank god there is no leash reactivity. Looking forward to your next videos 🙂
Thank you so much for the videos! It's really helpful , especially about puppies , because my doberman is 4 month old 😁
I've had dobermans my whole life and have experienced a lot of this and your advice is right on . I now have a jack Russell about the same lol
Excellent video as usual. Appreciate your knowledge. Darren from uk. I on the verge of buying a Male doberman pup. Me and my wife absolutely love the bread. My wife is a stay at home mum to our 3 daughters. While I am out working. With my youngest daughter being 5 and just started school my wife in between looking after the house and the kids feels abit lost. My only concern is my daughter holly age 5 is very hypo. And I am scared of the pup turning out vicious and biting them. Due to her pestering him. Could you give me some advice please. As we really want to go and buy the pup. But also want to give it a happy forever home and be part of our family. I am scared of it going wrong. Great video by the way. Fantastic breed.
Great question, Daz! You are right to be concerned about Holly and long term behavior issues with the dog, but there are certainly things that you can do to help prevent future issues. Here is our video with "do's" and "don't's" on how to raise a Doberman puppy with kids: th-cam.com/video/nE0_8WFYUFE/w-d-xo.html. Message us on Instagram if you'd like more specific one-on-one help!
Excellent video and very helpful. Thanks John
You're welcome! Appreciate your kind words, Cathy!
Hey John... glad to see new videos. THIEVES... that's what they are... over the years we have had several dobes and every last one has stolen something, mostly food left unattended. it doesn't take them long to grab it and run off, even when your back is turned for a moment. A beautiful porterhouse steak stolen right off the gas grill while cooking when I turned around for the tongs. An entire pizza I placed on the counter to pay the delivery man. An entire roast chicken again on the counter while I reached into the fridge to get the salads we were going to eat with it. An entire loaf of bread right off the counter that one he took to his crate maybe to eat later. All different dogs. You would think we were starving our dogs but it was never the case. Dobermans are the ultimate food scavengers... oh I almost forgot the garden vegetables jumped the fence and ate every ripe tomato right off the vine
... errrr!
But they were all wonderful dogs, smart as they come and just lovable bandits ❤
I have 2 Doberman puppies sister and a brother, they are exactly as you described. We are lucky to have 3 acres of land here in Spain, so they can run. And oh boy they run most of the time. At least 4-5 hours a day, they are sprinting. I can imagine them only 2-hour activity a day. Also, they are outdoor dogs, they only sleep in the crate at night.
This video was so helpful!! I’ve been following your videos since I got my Doberman puppy a little over a year ago and it’s been going so well!! The one thing she does consistently tho is steal all my stuff and try to eat it LOL but now I realize maybe it’s less of a her thing and more of a me thing! I need to give her more toy options and make sure she’s getting enough physical and mental stimulation.
That's so great to hear, Julia! Thank you for sharing your positive feedback of how things are going with you and your Doberman pup. Sounds like you're doing a great job!
Thanks! I just got my Dobie puppy -- it's shocking how accurate this is. And wonderful since the video provides advice on how to alleviate my frustrations.
So glad you enjoyed it so much! Really appreciate the super thanks! Means so much! Congrats on your pup! 👏👍
So interesting, thanks a lot for all your advices :) The comments are very interesting either !
I Love my doberman more and more when I watch your videos.. 🙏❤️🌸🐶 greetings from Istanbul.. 👋🍀
Love from India 1st view
I have watched your videos from day one with my now 18 month old male not yet neutered. He remains a sock thief to this day! He destroys level 5 and extreme dog toys in about 2 weeks. We are on his second rope for the large Jolly ball! I left dry food out all the time and he is not a chow hound and only consumes about 2 cups dry and one large can Purina Pro Plan a day. His favorite toy by far is the treat ball. We walk a couple miles every day in an area where he can run off leash but does great on the leash. Interesting item he never barks at other dogs even if they are barking due to his presence. He periodically digs and we will eventually make him a sand box. He is very curious but not aggressive. During house training we used the crate until we installed the doggy door. In total only three house breaking accidents ever! Thanks for all your videos.
Oh wow! He really is an intense chewer. You may have already seen this video, but here are some toys other Doberman owners have found successful with extreme chewers: th-cam.com/video/_XGqxR4MFN4/w-d-xo.html. That's great that he doesn't bark and does great on or off leash!
We have a 7 month old European Doberman and we did the mistake of serving her drive, which actually spoiled her for attention. It's extremely important to teach them how to relax when you as the owner decides. We noticed significant change in her behaviour when we started to take control of her drive and not the other way around.
What do you mean by "serving her drive"?
@@ashleymorgan3635 Letting the dog decide when to work and not the other way around. We did the mistake of overstimulate and spoil her for attention. Easy to do when it's a dog that has military/police level kind of drive. They want to work even when they are tired and need to rest.
My Ramzee is always with me. So when I do leave the house he does little whines. My teenage son tells me he whines and tries to look for around the house. He does eventually calm down and hangs with me son but as soon as I come back into the house he is so happy and excited to see me.
My boy got neutered today and the receptionist was telling me he was giving out little barks. I know he was not happy about me leaving him there for a bit. He was happy to see me when I came and got him. Best Breed ever. Ramzee always makes me smile.
We have our puppy almost 2 weeks now, been waiting months. We are in LOVE. What i noticed: He needs mental stimulation because else, he is going to act like a dinosaur raptor... and i mean, nipping. It's so bad hahaha. So a lot of short good stimulation works for him. He already has no problem to be alone for a little hour. Also, he knew sit and place in 1/2 days. Very smart.. I gave him a puzzle, way to easy! So yes they are so so smart. Blows my mind. I love him, this is our first dober.
Mines leash and non leash too friendly lol. Wants to say hi to everyone. We adopted him at 10 months so we’re working on it. He’s better now lol
Love my Dobie, she's my 5th one and won't be my last. Incredible breed by far.
Hello, love all the videos. What is the toy you give Arlo on mark 1:46?
I have a mix breed Dobby and Pit. What you said here are very accurate! His has more Dobby than a Pit.
Love love love my girl, “Widow” as in Black Widow, named by my daughter. She’s a pleasure and just one of my kids. Will have a Doberman as long as I can
A friend of mine has one and it started to growl at the kids for no reason
I've only seen it like twice and is super chill with me, even sleeps next to me
Leash Reactivity is a real thing. Like a horse can feel a fly on his mane... a doberman can feel your emotions through the leash. It's like magic. ;-) If you want a chilled doberman, be a confident leader.
My boy is a year and a half and when he doesn't get his way he STILL comes up behind me and nips my butt. Such a brat. When he was in his doberteens the biting was insane! Much better now
I think that I'm sold on getting a Doberman for a dog cause I love smart dog I just looked up a smartest dog breeds.
So anyways God bless you brother and you're doing family 👪 keep up the great work with spreading the word about Doberman's being bad dogs 🐕🔥✝️🕊
The only issue we ran in to with ours is a serious dislike of visitors. Especially male people. ( handyman, friends etc) that said I don't have many friends and it's generally just him, the kid and me. But when ever someone does come over he is friendly only for qs long as I am in the room the moment I go get a cuppa or something for my guests he will not let them move at all. If you got a tip on that it would be great. As its not helping my loneliness if he scares of people coming here.
I had a female Doberman who died at 7 years old unexpectedly and we were heart broken! Tessa was American and European!! My husband and I have a European Doberman now and she is 7 mos old now but her energy level is super high and I’m doing my best to exercise her on a daily basis usually power walking for 5 miles but it is summer in Fairbanks Alaska so it’s very warm out and we have a large fenced in back yard. Here’s where the problem arises, it is very cold and lots of snow that doesn’t melt for months. I take her to training classes twice a week but that will not be enough physical exercise for her. Since Freya Rose is all European she has more energy and I would love to hear some ideas on what I can do to keep her fulfilled all winter?? I will still be expanding her training all this winter but it’s mostly obedience and leash workouts! Please let me know if anyone has any ideas??
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
🧡
My doberman is so chill she gets pooped after a half hour of running around I think she might be broken 😂
Haha!
Lucky! i have a 4 month old and she's a pistol lol
What is that purple and yellow toy? Where did you get it?
Doberman Planet how long does it take for the dobermans ears to finish posting?
Great question, Allen! Arlo’s ears were standing up really fast. Probably could have stopped posting around 4 months of age but went until 6 months since that's usually the minimum you want to do regardless. Some dogs with ears that are difficult to stand will need to be posted until 8 months, or on rare occasions, even 1 year of age.
@@DobermanPlanet thank you
Years ago one Halloween these older girls came to my home late..I did not open my door when they knocked. I heard them being obnoxious, and loud so I looked out my window to see what they were doing, and they were putting shaving cream all over my front porch..I instantly opened my door, and they ran, but my two dobies got out and chased them..When I called they immediately came back, I bet those girls had to change their pants after that, and would never put shaving cream on someone's porch again.
Hilarious! 😂
my doberman shes a 7 year old female American show line i must have dodged a bullet she never suffered from anxiety but ive always took her on a long jog every morning before i go to work
Hey John, I have a Doberman. We got him from a rescue.He was about 6 months to a 10 months old, and He is the laziest saddest dog I know. Plus he's a biter. You do something he doesn't like. and he's got no problem chomping down on you. He doesn't attack he just bites down hard then lets go, his bites allow draw blood.He lives with me my wife and my three older boys. He has never bitten my wife although he's bitten all four of us. After biting one of us he always get taken down and pinned to ground. We don't hit him (no hitting that's on of our rules) but we hold him down till he gives in. He hates to get off the bed. You make him get down, he'll grumble at you as he slinks off. He always seem so sad. He walks up to you with both head and nub down. He then puts his head between your legs and just stands there? He's just odd but we all have grown to really love the dumb dog. Any ideas on how to lift his sprites and get him to stop biting,
How do you handle a multi dog house hold
I was going to ask you if you ever played the shell game with your dog but then I saw you doing it at 6:35.
I plugged your channel on Beckman's Dog Training channel. Oops! I guess I just plugged his channel. lol
This affects every breed, but I was hoping you'd mention Resource Guarding. My Dobie is fine with me taking his toys or food. But if he finds something while out on a walk, it's his and nobody else can have it. He won't give it up and gets aggressive if I try to take it away. The problem with living in a condo complex is, these damned kids leaving their toys, dropping gloves, socks, sneakers and garbage and not picking up after themselves.
That's a great idea, Joe. Your Doberman isn't the only one affected by that, either. Just added that topic to our ideas list for future videos!
thanks for the great video! My female doberman is now a bit over 7 months old (she went through her teething phase but still keeps biting us, especially on walks she kind of 'attacks' us. she isnt aggresive but rather wants to play but she bites so hard I get blue bruises and need to tie her on a pole to stop jumping and biting on me. Does anyone have advice on how to stop that behaviour. We tried ignoring it as well but then she bites just much harder and its not possible anymore, we stop immediately playing as well (if thats what we were doing).
Great question! Puppy biting affects every new owner. Here is the video we made that, with consistency, will help eliminate that behavior: th-cam.com/video/nk3rXqEpBYI/w-d-xo.html
My doberman are LAZY they sleep almost all the time lol
A dog with hyperactivity cannot sleep and rest and calm down and relax he always is like on high alert even trembling at times
The puppy phase is why they are nicknamed 'Dobersharks'.
All true! 😂
My boy steals human food, he's 16 weeks old. How do I get my dobie to stop eating human food? I've been feeding him with Purina Pro Plan since day one and my pup eats well and is developing lean and strong muscles, still my dobie steals human food from the table or counter. Thanks John, greetings from Argentina.
You have to put your foot down and do it repeatedly as it takes awhile for a dog to learn, and when I say put your foot down I don't mean hitting it I mean be stern don't baby them or cuddle during training be very serious and they can feel you're energy.
We have 20 week old dobie and what worked for us was trying to not leave food unattended and when eating or cooking don’t allow him anywhere near us by saying “out” and directing him away from the area. Took us awhile to mitigate the behavior but with consistency he finally got the idea and now counter surfing is almost distinct. If you have a separate entrance to the kitchen/dining area put a baby gate to set your “surfer” for success
This video was geared towards counter surfing, but still applies for stealing food of the table, couch, exc.: th-cam.com/video/yOVbm8tHir4/w-d-xo.html. Hopefully this helps, Mel!
Wow, I’ve never dealt with any of these things aside from nipping as a puppy, and being a Velcro dog. My dog is a freaking gem! And I know it! And she knows it!
She’s docile she’s pretty much a couch potato, if I were to sum her up in one phrase . She might like to run the fence every now and again with another dog, but other than that she is a angel. She’s never stolen any of my socks. She’s never eaten anything that wasn’t hers., she’s had the same toys for five years. Maybe I add one every Christmas but she’s carrying around the same piece of pizza for three years…. She’s my shadow I think we find contentment in each other. She misses me when I leave. That’s normal. But when I’m gone, she sleeps unless it’s for days then she does her normal activity but she’s never eaten anything Like the couch never never never
My Dobies name is, "Felon". For a reason!
Jumping on the door is a huge problem. You even have a clip of that in here. My pup jumps up on doors and especially the back door when she wants to come in. Any tips to stop that?
Same! My dobies are a month shy of a year. I'm afraid they are going to bust the sliding glass doors
hi
my guy steals the inner soles in my shoes
my doberman is 8 months old and almost 80 pounds and I can't even sit on my couch without him trying to nip at me but it hurts and jump all over me... I want to cry sometimes I don't know what to do. someone help and is this normal ?
Similar to a Boxer
Do labradors and dobermans get along. My family and I are waiting until June once my lab turns one to get a doberman. Do you think it's ok for them to be together?
That depends on the individual not the breed
Most likely, since you are introducing them at a young age. Here is an article you may want to read with tips on how to introduce them (this article was geared towards smaller dog breeds, but most of the concepts still apply): www.dobermanplanet.com/can-dobermans-get-along-with-small-dogs/. One of the biggest tips is to make sure they each get equal, individualized attention so they don't get jealous of each other!
@@DobermanPlanet ok thanks for replying
What happens if you have an adult nibbler 😫. I took in my husband's kids doberman and he wasn't trained correctly.
My Doberman won’t come to me when he gets a tennis ball in his mouth. I’ve tried everything. It’s maddening.
Can someone help me. My pup constantly is picking up street nuggets of all kinds. Will not listen. I tell him to drop it every 3 minutes. Can’t find much on this.
He is intelligent enough to take revenge also …! He knows it’s bad to pee inside, when I sometimes too tired for a walk etc …!
Is going out on a leash the only option for him to relieve himself? No fenced yard?
@@TSeeker1 😃thats what is revenge. He needs to go for walk . (he pees at his place in the garden)you can see in dp , i make him stand at our gate after walk
@@vaishalibansod5400 So you don't take him out when he needs to pee because you're too tired and then say he's vengeful? Wow.
@@TSeeker1There is a special place in my garden where he does potty and pees too...! He is intelligent and does his loo n potty there only. I take him for walk twice a day - morning6:20am and again in the evening at 6:30 pm. So suppose i come late or too tired to take him for a walk , he thinks..'Oh so you r not taking me for a walk then i will do loo here inside only' . Or he runs away carrying shoe or pillow or clothes in his mouth in the garden. So I have run behind him or scold him for his behaviour. This is his way of revenge .
@@TSeeker1 he does loo and potty whenever he needs to at his marked place only in tbe garden . We have wall fence with a big gate . You can see the dp photo . he is my dobbie and he is at the gate . 😇👍
Mental games always help keep them busy
I have one doberman that has to be with me 24/7 I have tried to separate him from me it's been very difficult
Oh no, Tina! We are so sorry to hear that you've been going through that. Here is a great article on "How to Prevent Separation Anxiety" that you may find useful: www.dobermanplanet.com/how-to-prevent-separation-anxiety-in-dobermans/. Stick with it...the days can be long, but getting over that "hump" will be rewarding!
I had a 4-5 month old Euro Dobie. Love her to death. Having a very hard time with successful posting. Her ears get funky and she really fights it. Any advice
My dogs go where I go period
I've come to realize it's US that have to adapt to these dogs.
Hi,I'm from Italy...I try to follow you 'cause I like your video so much, but you speak so quickly and it's very difficult to me to understand you....could you use subtitles please?🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
All the above lol
My dobie is the only dog I have ever come across that actually intently watches television. He tries to join the dogs he sees on tv.
Does Arlo even know that he’s famous 😂
Every. Single. Thing.
These are breed traits in my. Opinion. Not just what people think are quirks.
No lol. At this point it’s a breed trait.
Are you able to invite people over without crating your dogs?
That's such Russian theme music.
OK I wanted a doberman not for me. Thank you!
I LOVE DOBERMANS...I DON'T CARE WHAT THEY DO OR DONT DO. THEY ARE THE BEST IN THE WHOLE WORLD. THEY 💘LOVE AND THEY ARE 😍LOVED!!
You could have easily spent an whole hour explaining how a doberman can reach on any counter and steal any kind of food.
