Shelly, you are an outstanding trainer, and Mack .. of course .. makes my heart miss a beat. I've had the immense privilege of loving 3 Dobies. Folks, do NOT shortchange your Doberman on the training and socialization end. You will be forever grateful if you do, and experience heartbreak if you do not. ♥
Congratulations 🎉🍾🎊🎈 Mack is beautiful. He's a large Doberman but well proportioned. I'm impressed with your training as well. I hope Auto is just as awesome!
I wish my dobbie was that well trained. Jazz (She) is 7 months old and very good except when there are distractions, so pretty much any where outside she is overwhelmed by stimuli and permanently distracted. Any ideas apart from patience?
We use break always as our release word. We know people who use “ok”, but find that it is too commonly used in conversation for us to recommend it’s use. Great question!
Great question! Whenever you see us train dogs to heel on the right, instead of the left, it is at the owners request. Typically they already have a dog that heels on the left - but not always
He did a great job. I'm curious why you took him into a public space are you have no idea if people have phobias about dogs or even severe allergies I've seen people with allergies so severe to dogs that they wind up in the ER and just the presence of a dog
Joycelyn, great question. Unfortunately it is impossible to know or avoid every phobia and allergy of individuals in public. When these conditions are made known we are quick to honor them. On the flip side- if we never took this dog, or other dogs, into public they would never be socialized which would lead to a reactive and unpredictable dog. In our experience this is a much more common problem than debilitating phobias or extreme allergies to dogs.
He does well! Through our training techniques and coaching sessions with the owners we strive to view the e-collar as “training wheels”. With consistent use, most of our dogs will see minimal use of the e-collar over time.
Love it....what a good boy Mack is...and what a great trainer Mack has!
I just got a 9 week old female Doberman she is so sweet!
I love dobermans. I have had 4. Leah is black n tan. Had a brindled and fawn color. The best one was a fawn one. Miss her a lot!!
Thanks! We love them too. They are really awesome dogs. I bet yours are amazing as well.
Are they bad as all get out for like the first 5 months? Mine is a menace lol
Beautiful animals! Aggression bred put of them years ago. Intelligent, loyal, eager to learn, easy to train. I've had two in my lifetime.
They never had aggression in them to breed out in the first place.

What a gorgeous and good boy. Nice work.
Thank you!
So Refreshing to see a woman to “Take Care and Control” of those Handsome Dobermans!
Mack your such a good boy.
Congrats !
This was awesome! Good job

Wow, that’s great.. 🙌🏻🌟❤️
Good job Mack, are you a brother of Dodge?

God job
Where r u located? Do u have a website for training info?
Hello! All of our info can be found at www.ik9trainers.com
Do you use “Break” as your release word at all times or only certain times? Which release word would be better “Break” or “Ok”?
We use break always as our release word. We know people who use “ok”, but find that it is too commonly used in conversation for us to recommend it’s use. Great question!
Are they American or European? Are they yours or are you just training them?
They are European Dobermans. Mack is a trainee and Auto is my personal Dobe, but they are brothers.
I've always used the words "OK Free time" and it's always work well. Thoughts ?
@@freedomridermorty4459 it really doesn’t matter what word you use as long as they understand it’s a release word.
@@ik9trainers551 are you a trainer?
@@pjm0621 yes, we are trainers.
I know that it’s a small thing but why are you walking him on your right side?
Great question! Whenever you see us train dogs to heel on the right, instead of the left, it is at the owners request. Typically they already have a dog that heels on the left - but not always
@@ik9trainers551 that makes a lot of sense. Thank you for your response.

Very nice work
Thank you! Cheers!
