But in this video, I not only show you how to handle the first weeks at home, the juvenile delinquent stage, and the teething stage... but I also give you the one best trick I know to get you through all of these major struggles so you can come out of the other side with a mature and well behaved Doberman!

Doberman Planet thank you a million!!!!
Hey, if my second wife divorces me, iam getting a doberman.
I got my Dobe girl when she was only 9 days old. She was the runt of 9 pups. She wasn't getting much of mom's milk and was getting very weak. Mom started trying to put her down. My friend stopped by one day with her to see if I would keep her for a couple hours while he went to his shop. He told me what was going on and I half jokingly said "You won't get her back." He replied with "If you can save her you can keep her". So, I've had her since she was 9 days old. She slept on my chest for the first 2-3 weeks. I woke up every few hours to feed her goats milk with a syringe until she was able to use a bottle.
She's now a very muscular 68 pounds and FULL of energy, and will be 3 years old in in 7 days. She is very much bonded to me and very protective of me, however she can sense if I am ok with new people and takes her que from that.
Roger Andersson oof
That's such a beautiful story
God bless u...
Wow, i can see why is she bonded with you...you arw practicly her parent and owner, i cant imagine how much she loves you
What a great story! Wish I could be so lucky!
Our boy ate 2 sectionals during his terrible teens. it was quite the trying time. he matured into the most loyal, loving and intelligent dog i have ever had in my family. he would take a bullet for my wife and kids and makes us laugh every day with his crazy shenanigans. over the years his fur has slowly started to fall out (he's a blue) and he has slowed down quite a bit. the realization hits me hard how short a time we get with these wonderful dogs and i'm not sure how we will take it when he's gone. thank you for providing education on the breed. stick with it folks, they are worth it.
I'm so glad to hear this. Our 7 month old has chewed one corner of our sofa so badly we have to get another. I hope she outgrows this soon
These dogs are definitely no joke when it comes to how much work they are. Very active dogs that need a good amount of exercise and mental stimulation to remain happy and healthy. But gosh, they are really special. Once they mature everything comes together and they are awesome dogs. Loyal, smart and loving. Love my boy.
Love him every day for the rest of his life. It takes a little while until they calm down and understand how they are supposed to behave, but once your Doberman is trained they become the best dog on the planet. If your at that point then just enjoy it every second of everyday. It’s really hard to lose a dog that is so in tune with you. I lost my boy like 6 months ago and it is so hard trying to pick a new pup and move on from the previous dog when they seemed almost perfect. Best of luck to you and your dog
@@johndoe-sh6bi Thank you! It is gut wrenching to loose a dog. They really make the best company. Very sorry to hear about your loss. I hope you find a time that is right and start a new chapter with another pup. Honestly I almost didn’t get another dog after I lost one a few years ago. Its too traumatic. But having one around brings so much joy into my life. Good luck!
@@lizbelli8287 Thanks man
The first 2 years will definitely wear you out but it's worth every minute
This is soooo true 😭 countless times I’ve said “just please 10 minutes to my own please” and he just boops his nose on me
Schedule, schedule, schedule & patience & exercise & activity makes for a happy Doberman. And, eventually your dog will grow up & it becomes very easy for all. The routine becomes less busy but still a schedule.
John, you are a godsend - providing these tips to Doberman owners.
I had 3 ( in a row ) and figured this all out on my own in time. John you truly are an asset to the Doberman Pinscher & their owners. Many thanks to you.. I love the breed and am very happy that you provide accurate information, rather than urban legend.
I had dropped the idea of having a doberman, after browsing through the internet and youtube videos. But when I found your channel it changed my mind. I have seen almost all the videos, subscribed to it to catch new ones. I have also started to read the data on your website, it's just great and has lot of information. I want to prepare myself with your help before getting my Dobie. You are contributing to the awareness for the breed. Thanks John!
That's really makes my day to hear, Akshat! So glad you're finding the information helpful and that you decided on (in my opinion) the best breed out there! Haha. But seriously, thank you!!
Hey Akshat can you suggest me the breeder from where you have bought the Done. Even I m looking for it.
My Dobermann does the same thing in that video where he “talks back” to me by barking at me when I tell him to do something. He is so stubborn!
My 14 week old just started this.... she doesn’t like to do “down” so when I give the command she barks at me and whines... it’s so funny - but also annoying!
What do you do if they refuse to listen and just "talk back"?
We brought a brown rust dobermann home. It's two months old now. This video shall help us a lot.
@@VwapTrader wtf lmao
@@annabennett7688 Funnily random, but also true
@@VwapTrader Sounds like somebody didn't get a text back! 🤣🤣🤣 Get some therapy, dude.
@@VwapTrader Yeah, uh... I'm not reading all of that... Good night and good luck with whatever you're going through. 😬
@@ashinfante2505 Night babe
That clip with the boxing gloves hitting the guy in the face is actually a Dobermans snout hitting you
Haha I've been there!
I was sitting on the floor with our politely dobe and our 3 year old female done was by me, she moved really fast, I think she sneezed or something and whacked me so hard in the mouth that my gums were bleeding. It hurt so bad.
I'm laughing in between your comment and your name "Spank the Monkey" 😂
I laughed out loud because I could relate (especially the whining). You MUST push through the difficult times and stay on point just like John says. Know that in the end you will have the most awesome dog ever!!! My Moses is now just over two and he is so obedient and loving. People obsess over my Dobe cause he is such a loving gentleman. It took at lot of consistent work, especially the first year. All great advise on these videos.
Thank you so much Suzanne! Really appreciate the insight! That's so cool about Moses, I'm sure he is awesome now. Yeah that first year though.. so rough. I just want people to be aware going into it and let them know it's normal and temporary. I hate the thought of someone giving up a Doberman pup because they're "too much to handle" while they're going through just a temporary phase because they feel like it'll never end.
You got that right!!! This breed is not for the lazy...
Oh, I needed this, brought my 11wk Dobie home yesterday (not even 24 hours ago)
Doing exactly what you said, crying last night, cleaning up ALL day & nipping.
Teething toys ordered before he arrived home.
Thank you!
i used to massage my dog's gums when he was teething and he really loved that
In watching this at age 12 and probably not gonna adopt 1 for about 8 or 9 years but i continue to watch these vids cause I love dobermans and your content
“Stick with it” is the BEST advice. Just when I think it’s not working or it’s hopeless, it always seems to just click with Petey. He does exactly what I am asking for and does it consistantly. This has given me more confidence in my training and that makes a huge difference.
My dobermans brought nothing but joy and laughter into my home. No problems with them, other than they were like velcro.
We brought our puppy home at 3 months. He is almost 6 now but let me tell you... from age 3 months to 1 year hr was a whirlwind of issues. The worst struggles I ever had with a puppy. The crying, the energy, constantly running constantly going for stuff he shouldn’t. At 5 months he could reach anything on the high counters, and he would LEARN to do it a different way each time he got caught and fine-tune his stealing skills. The biting was awful too. It was all play but it hurt and was constant. I asked a trainer when he would start acting more behaved, they (another avid dobie owner) said at about 4 to 5 years. And they were right, at 4 years he finally calmed down and started listening more. So if you want a Doberman puppy... be very prepared. This is not like most puppies, and certainly blind-sighted me even though I’ve had multiple puppies in my life.
I'm early!! We are getting a dobbie!!!!!! I am so excited
Congratulations 🎊! 😁👍
Congrats Charlotte! I'm so happy for you. Hang in there, the puppy stages are rough but later on you'll look back and miss those times. Takes lots of pictures and videos, they grow so fast!
Doberman Planet thanks so much for your videos! They helped my family a lot!
@@charlotte5582 So glad to hear it... that just made my day!
You will love them !!!
The way your doubie looks and clings to you! Like “You are my leader and I must protect you at all costs.” My heart🥺💕💕
That’s how I felt picking my first Doberman she is very hard to handle but she is getting better less bitting and she now knows how to sit
Hi, how old is she now? I wonder when to expect quit bitting completely?
Misha Kiguradze she is now 7 weeks today we got her at 6 weeks but she is bitting less now maybe once she eats a little older she will stop bitting
I get my female next week. So excited, any tips?
Chris Rivera congrats there are very smart dogs Socialize Take them to as many places and let them see as many people/dogs as possible just letting them see and learn to focus on you / ignore the distractions is huge. Put in the time to train them- a tired dog = good dog they require physical AND mental stimulation to be happy. Training new tricks, puzzles, are all ways to mentally exercise them they are a amazing dog breed and a great family companion 🎊
@@jessicagutierrez6886 okay awesome. Thank you!
All of this!!! This info is very helpful! I got a Black and Tan Doberman girl @ 2 months ago. She’s 3 months today and a really great dog. But the puppy stage has been exhausting and sometimes frustrating. It seems like I’m not alone. I wouldn’t trade her for the world, but I’m glad to have these tips!!!
How are things with her now?
0:36 DP feared for his life lmao
I use to think this about my doberman... But when I got my euro dane weighing in at 140lbs at a year old.... thats like stepping into the octagon lol Great videos. Blessings sent to you and everyone out there.
This helps my husband understand our new family member better. Appreciate all your videos 🤝
So glad the videos are helping Jo-Anne! Congrats on your new Dobie!
Honestly watched 10 seconds of this and took a massive sigh of relief! I thought I was going mad! Our little (big) 6 month old is so testing at the moment, but I see a light at the end of the tunnel! Thank you :)
It's Doberman Crazy Mad
Start training very early. Dobes are so smart they have to be started soon!
I got my Doberman when he was 4 weeks but we turned him in cause he was to small. Then we got him when he was like 5 or 6 weeks because his mom stopped giving him milk. He had to stay in the room the whole time cause he couldn’t go outside. So he pooped and peed inside but it’s not his fault. I didn’t really like it because he had to get dewormed. And since I stayed with him everyday taking care of him myself since my brother didn’t help me I had to clean up his poop WITH WORMS 😩. I still love him a lot ❤️ now he’s potty trained and only goes outside to pee or poo
Once again, that word 'consistency' ! Excellent advice for the formative stage of the life of a Doberman and the unbreakable bond the dog will form with you and your family. You just do these things so well John, awesome video once again !
And Arlo, well, he's a diamond ain't he ?!
Thank you so much for this video! You described perfectly what I'm dealing with a 12 week old!
Hello John! Thank you for sharing your advice and makes a lot of sense too. Love the footage and goodness how Arlo has grown ! So glad I’m in this journey with you too Till your next vid , take care and keep safe 🥰👍🏻
Can you please add a video of how to deal with puppy aggression? I brought home a Doberman puppy last week and he has growled at me a few times over items he isn't allowed to have and then once when I picked him up. I'm concerned that this could develop into a problem if not handled correctly.
Love this breed and your channel breaks down the ups and downs of having one, I shared you channel on my Facebook page as well because you really do have great information on here
Getting a new pup is always so exciting but quite a struggle! Thanks for all the great videos!
Congrats! You'll do great!
Doberman Planet Thank you so much! Doberman are THE BEST!!! I definitely prefer Euro lines over American lines but after seeing your video about mixed euro/Americans I’m a bit intrigued!!
I have struggled a few times but I would not change a thing
What a great video! Thanks!!
Dude you’ve been such a help thank you I’m 16 and I’m trying my Doberman so well because of you!!!!
Your videos are helping me so much. Thank you💛🌷
Thank you Joann! So glad to hear it! Don't be a stranger in the comments section!
John!!your a God! Thank you so much we are now pround owners of a new puppy thanks to you .we looked at so many and doberman by far are the best we have watched all your videos for months you have learned us so much thank you
Hello John, a very nice and informative video, Thanks for sharing! Greets from Germany. Look forward gladly to seeing more, channel subscribed.
They're awesome Dogs, I've got my third one and she's just great. Always wanting to love on you. He's very right about working with them all the time, since they love to please their owners.
He's gotten so big already..so loveable.. I had a Dobie and he passed away at 9 1/2. Love to watch your videos even though he's not with us anymore..
Great job training arlo.
Just subscribed. I had been wanting a Doberman and finally got one ! He is aEuropean/American Doberman. Which is what I wanted. I love this channel bc the info is so valuable as a new owner of this breed. Thank you for putting out this channel. My 12 week old puppy is already biting on everything and including me lol . SO any tips anyone has to offer would be great . Checking out your next video on this subject!
Got an Albino Doberman and A Rust brown Doberman love them alot❤️
I’ve watched so much of your videos the past few days because I’m getting a Doberman soon and this has helped a lot
So glad you found them useful! Thank you and congratulations on making the decision to get a pup! You're gonna love your Dobie!
Watching these videos make me miss our dog Heidi. She was amazing. Too much energy for my life now though. :)
I love your videos; keep them coming. Almost everything you share is accurate. The only downside I came across your videos after trial and error with my Dobermans. But now watch your videos to learn and understand my mistakes....
I have 2 Dobermans; Diesel AND Max (not related) - adopted them in the first 4m. Both were mistreated during the first few months so there was a lot of separation anxiety built in them. Treadmill helped a lot cos by the time of training time they had spent their high energy. They both are stubborn in their own way but f*cking intelligent and are velcro dogs (which I don't complain especially with COVID, they are enjoying it even more). Dobermans unnecessarily have a bad rep - it is in most cases bad dog ownership than the dog itself. During their stubborn phase, they do test your patience, which goes well into the 6-8m stage after that, at least it continued until then with my dogs, they both settled and recognized me as the pack leader. They love humans and kids and are fine with cats, not sure why people say they aren't the best first dogs.
Im waiting for my dobie to come into the world april or july and ive been binging your channel, so im getting exited beyong explanation
You are spot on with that 12-16 week mark. It was absolute hell! When it was time to come back inside from potty, he would lay in the grass if HE wasn’t ready to come back in. He tried nipped me in the face a few times when I had to pick him up to bring him back in.
Love our guy and knew it was just temporary but what a journey that month was
Hey! We got our Doberman pup last night! Your videos really came in handy!!
Congrats!!!! They are a absolute joy and so willing to please. 🤩
Congrats! I'm so excited for you! This is going to be a fun ride so hold on! I'm so glad you found something useful in my videos. Don't be a stranger in the comments section!
Ours is 4 and a half months old. He is a ball of energy. Both fun and challenging.
This is great, thank you!
Thank you so much for checking it out, hope you got something useful from it! :-)
My gf and I picked up our Dobie, Gaius 2 months ago. He is 4 months old now and is definitely in phase 2/3 and giving us hell! John, your videos are our lifeline when he throws everything he has at us. Being patient with Gaius and committing ourselves to him is so rewarding and through all the gorwing pains is the best/most loyal/loving dog we could have ever hoped for. Weve been watching your videos before we got him and definitely continue to follow you religously. Dobies over everything! Keep up the great work!
I've been following up on every video for a while. Never commented on them because at the time it was all for educational purposes ; but THEN I got hooked and it wasn't untill January 9th of 2021 I got my self and my wife doberman puppy. 3 days in and its been exhausting BUT the experience is so worth it. We have tons of fun playing with him.
He is super stubborn tho and always ends up trying to bite ( he is 6 weeks old) so he recently started eating aswell so its been kinda complicated in that area.
But overall he is an exceptional pup .😍
Out 21 week old (I’m in the UK) is finally showing signs of the teething phase coming to an end! These videos have been so helpfully. Even as bone idol as Zara may be 😂
Always great advice and tips. Thank you so much for your priceless contribution to Doberman lovers. I save all your videos to know exactly what not to do when I bring a Doberman puppy home again.
So happy they videos have helped Justin!
Te felicito está hermoso y muy regalón.especial para criarlo con niños,maravillosos guardianes.de presencia💕
Another great video, loved it! Would be interested in your thoughts of another "testing your boundaries stage" at 12-18mths old as this is where I've acquired some of mine ( being rescued or rehomed).
Totally agree on
Tired( well excersised ) dog is a happy dog
Strong in their routines
Consistency.
Keep the vids coming,
Greetings fae Scotland 🏴
Hi, John, good video, our red Doberman, was the last of the pack at 8 weeks, was scare,underweight , first 2 weeks 3 meals a day , & accidents, make me a professional cleaner, the laundry area is his domayne,now confident, 6am goes out for needs, back in light breakfast ,lock to 7am , then start day exercises & walk park, Velcro dogs gets bore unless they carry a duty, & don't forget introduce everyone comes to your place, they want to know who comes, very important, house is his domayne, don't forget, have a nice day, & praise the dog, lol
Believe me... They are really lovable ❤️
Thank you for your info on Doberman puppies, I finally got one my wife knew I’ve been wanting a Doberman for a long time. I got it for Father’s Day, she had told me before I actually got him. She wasn’t sure if I was gonna want a boy or a girl. Once knew I was going to get one I had found your videos.
That's so cool! Congratulations! Sounds like you have a very cool wife! Haha!
Getting a dobey on August 19th! She's gonna be my service dog prospect hopefully I'll be able to post all of our training, adventures, and even our downfalls. You have already helped me so much!
I have had dogs my entire life. My first Dobie is a red female and I have had her since she was 12 weeks old. She is now 11, and although I love ALL dogs and cats....this dog is my soul mate! I will likely never have any other dog in the future but a Doberman. These dogs are so intelligent and fearless, but extremely loving and funny toward their owners. I cannot imagine a better service dog, so I am very happy for you! Congratulations!
@@lisad.7825 awww thank you so much! I'm currently embroidering her harness.
My Doberman was a fantastic service dog for high & low blood sugar and my eyes for the blind. Stubborn dog make great smart. Dogs learn fast l in classes from puppy to good citizen to Love to work service dog training. Loved Walks 20-30 minutes walks. Have a fun great time.
@@carlettaedwards1432 will do, thanks!
Miss Analiese Glad you are embroidering so she can be extra pretty! I know people are not supposed to pet service dogs! Your biggest problem will be all the people that want to talk to you about her. Dobermans are still uncommon (they were crazy popular in the 1970’s when I grew up). So brush up on your Dobie knowledge because people are going to ask you everything about these glorious dogs! Wait until you see how much your baby will bond and love you...THE BEST
Damn' - that's a nice pool !!!! :-D
(and also - great video !!)
I don't own a dobbie but i love watching your videos! I can definitely relate to a lot of the information you provided, especially the biting part 😅😂
Haha well thank you so much! You're always welcome here even if you don't have a Dobie (yet)! :-D
I wish I had this video a few months ago. My 10 month Doberman has been a stubborn mess with anxiety plus the virus ruined our routine a bit.
So sorry to hear that! Yeah the corona thing definitely messed up a lot of things in Arlo's world too. Especially the socialization stuff during that critical early window.
Hahaha! Great video! 6 month old dobie here and feeling the pain (& the love)
Thank you so much! Congrats on your pup!
Oh boy LOL!🤣🤣 Intro though!
I taught my puppy to trade with me. Every time he finds something he is not supposed to have. He runs up and puts it in my hand. All that for a cheese stick! ! This way they don't run from you. They run to you!!
I pick up my European Dobermann. In 13 more days August 15th I am so excited I wonder how my husky is going to get along I had her for three years and now I want a guard dog I've been watching all your videos and I want to say thank you you are teaching me so much
That's so great! Good luck and congratulations! Arlo's best friend is a husky, they get along really well together! It's also good that your husky is a bit older, that age difference will help them get along a bit more smoothly also.
Wheres good places to get dobermans I'm looking to get one
@@DobermanPlanetI was curious what breeder did you get Arlo from. Im looking into getting a doberman
@@dwill4862 From a good breeder is going to take a long time I was on the waiting list for like 3 years
Where did you end up getting it from
had my female spayed today including removal of my 2 socks she ate vet did not charge for sock removal thank goodness have to work hard to keep her out of stuff
Tú estás maravillado con estos hermosos perros ,yo era igual cuando los tuve .ahora en mi país que es Chile ,no se ven tantos .Quiero tenerlos de nuevo🤗
Thanks for this video! I noticed how Arlo is content to just relax on your lap without chewing you or needing a chew toy. My doberman pup is 14 weeks old right now, and while he likes to be in my lap, he NEEDS a toy, or else he will bite me or will become a bit restless. Was Arlo ever like this and did he just calm down as he got older and teething slowed down? Once again, great content!! Your channel has helped me so much.
Yes, Arlo was definitely like that at that age but it has gotten better. I think it's a few things... getting through the teething stage, maturing a bit, and upping his exercise a bit. Once I found the right amount of exercise Arlo needed during the day, it improved. But chewing a toy in your lap is a bonding thing for Dobermans too so don't be too eager to stop it entirely :-)
I LOVE your vids
Wow I love your videos
Thank you so much!
I miss my dobies so much.
I’ve never had a doberman, but I definitely felt this lol... When we had a german shepherd it was chaos the first 6 months, but damn was that a special dog. I miss him, he definitely tried challenging his spot in the pack often. :P great video, this was super helpful.
Thank you so much Dylan! Sounds like you had a good pup overall though, I can tell from what you said he had a really caring owner!
Doberman Planet Thanks mate! It was a team effort between a young me and my mother lol...Funny enough he was actually very well behaved when in public, he was good with kids and other animals. He actually matured relatively quickly (he wasn’t as bad around 7-9 months). I never got to see him actually mature, but I’m sure he’s well mannered now. 💜
We we’re thinking of getting a Doberman puppy and maybe we will name it Arlo
We got our little guy on June 13th. We named him Arlo because of him.
Haha that'd be very cool!
Great content John, could you please make a video about mental simulation for a 2-4 month Doberman puppy? If there is already a video, please share the link in comment.
This is the 1st video of yours I've seen...great to hear from a "regular" guy in addition to the professional trainers...e/one has some good input . Now...I'll search your channel for what I'm about to ask, but did you use or refer to any specific method of training or have any "go to" source/TH-camr for tips and "How-To" info? Thx much...thoroughly enjoyed the video. I am considederin getting one next year once I retire, as my schedule currently won't afford me the time needed for one now.
And I don't mean to load up a comment with questions that maybe are addressed in other videos of yours, but your dog seems well fit for the family...in the house...very loving...not too high strung, etc, so have you provided the breeder's information if indeed you obtained yours through one? Thanks again.
Hi! Love your channel and just subscribed. I’ve been watching all your videos and feel reassured we made the right choice in choosing a Doberman puppy. He’ll be joining our family when he turns 9 weeks old at the end of next month. My question is regarding socializing the puppy early on. I know you mentioned the critical age of socializing needed between 8-14 weeks, but how do you do this if puppy isn’t fully vaccinated? Thanks so much for all your great content.
I have a 5 month old Rottweiler but still like to watch all of these videos as they still mostly apply to rotties. Also I plan do get a Doberman
You just got a new subscriber
Hi @DobermanPlanet thanks so much for your videos they really help.
I have a question my family and I want a Doberman, we have a big garden and good fencing, but we want to build an outdoor insulated kennel/house for him as he’ll only be allowed in the downstairs part of our house. Would they be ok with a kennel like that?
Omg arlo is so big now 🥺
Yesssss....I thought I would lose my mind the first year!
I thought their intelligence would make up for my inexperience, but I was wrong. He was non-stop!
I kept saying, " First and last dog!"
But now I want to get another one!
Please, do a video on having 2 Dobermans?
Oh man I can relate to those feelings. I was in over my head with my first Dobie for sure and felt that way all the time. But here I am, still owning Dobermans! Haha. Thanks for the video idea. I like it! But I think I need to convince the wife we need another Dobie now... you know... "for research". Haha :-)
*my dream dog* 👁💧👄💧👁
Arlo is very cute. Nice
I will get one
Sir love from India
I needed this today! My boy is 4 months, teething and getting stubborn and back chatting 😂😂 any advice on helping him with the vacuum? He barks at it a lot when it’s in use
Dude you have a beautiful Doberman.
Thank you so much! We definitely love this guy!
Just got a 7mo Dobie who is absolutely awesome but does do the mouthing a bit. Great video!
Congrats! Just stay on top of it. At that age it's critical to not allow mouthing or it could become an adult habit! That's so awesome though, I'm really happy for you and your new Dobie!
Thos dude is amazing
I’ve been researching hard if we should get a Doberman puppy.
I’ve been looking at the negatives too.
Arlo is no doubt a great play mate for the kids.
When I get my dobie puppy he will be 12 weeks old, so I’m definitely making sure I’m prepared
Thank you so much. I enjoyed watching this awesome video . I have a lil pom dog . She's cute and funny . I make videos of her
My family is going to get a Doberman pup during March next year
GREAT VIDEO!
ARLO,I LOVE YOU!!!
REGARDS FROM BAVARIA,
GERMANY!👍👍❤💜💙💋
Thank you Silvia! Always love and appreciate your support!
I got teething gel for my puppies and this seems to be working
Can you do a video on the pros and cons of buying pet insurance for your doberman?
