Hi If I do campbell puppy test and I select a puppy who shows no dominance , what is the chance of him developing dominance provided I am a first time owner looking after Dob
Hi Can a puppy be confused when I mimic an assertive body posture and calm voice even though I am fearful in dealing with my dominant puppyif he will bite me as they can smell fear
LOL! I just watched my son’s Doberman but I’ve know her since she was a puppy, so she loves me and I love her. She’s a well trained Doberman. I did have one issue with the “come” command, so I stopped, called her name, she looked at me, and then the “come” command and she came back to me, sat down, looked at me. I praised her and off we went to the house. She knew what she was supposed to do. Onto the couch I went and had her jump up on the couch and she put half of her body across my lap, so I rubbed her ears and neck, as I watched basketball. She almost fell asleep. 👍🏻 It was a fun time for both of us! Another great video. Thank you. Love those Dobermans!
Great video! Honestly my husband and I have never felt comfortable with anyone other than ourselves caring for our dobies. They are so much smarter than most of the people we know that we've never thought it was really fair to either and likely to not go well. We'd come home and find the dogs had totally taken control. 😂🤣😂🤣😂
Great video - one thing we add to our “List” is a letter giving permission to our sitter to authorize medical care. It has only happened once in 40 years but our dog needed immediate care and that note made it possible since we were available by email but not phone and the issue was time critical and it was expensive.
@@loriw2661 Thank you very much! I cant wait to start working with him 😁 He is from good lines so I most likley got a very good working dog (not show lines).
I pet sit and one of my regular clients has a rescued Doberman, he has been the sweetest boy from the moment I met him. Truly one of the sweetest and most fun dogs I’ve ever taken care of. He’s the reason I wanted a Doberman of my own and started researching the breed
Hi John I am from India and I love Doberman I had a Doberman when I was 17 and I had to give him up as he turned on me he turned on me as he had touch and possession aggression He was the son of a Champion dog I suffer from schizophrenia and Ocd. I suffer from severe anxiety. Is Doberman a good therapy dog, if the puppy is good for first time owners as per Campbell test Can I handle it Would like to know your opinion
I’d also make a point to ask for any allergies the dog might have, just to be safe! I guess you’d put that with their medical conditions, but I thought I’d mention it anyway. Great video as always!
@@DobermanPlanet sometimes that can be the different between life and death, and i’d hate for anyone to lose their beloved and precious companions (and even service animals) just because of something like that. just gotta look out for each other and our dogs❤️ ps. even though i’ve been around dobermans all my life, i’ve never had one of my own. that’s going to be changing this year, hopefully. i’ve found a breeder in my country that ticks all the boxes, and between him and your channel i’m sure i’ll be able to raise a well rounded, great dog :’) i’ll be getting that puppy with the hopes of training it to be my service dog, but if that doesn’t work out he or she will become the most spoiled pet i’ve ever had haha
Excellent video 🐾 through my years with my Dobermans hiking mt Hood Forrest ,yesterday I did my 4 mile hike alone but there were plenty of signs I was not alone 💜after seeing your vidio I would love to dobi sit 💜Thankyou Doberman planet .
Oh no...so sorry to hear that you are without your Doberman now. They really are our best friends and yours definitely enjoyed hiking with you, no doubt! You would be the perfect one to Dobie-sit. Condolences on your loss.
Great insight! I keep a running docs file for each of my dogs. Anyone willing to babysit them has appreciated it. Simple stuff like "Toby really loves his ears scratched, if you do that, he will feel normalcy ".
Love you and this channel. I haven't watched it as much, because my Doby will be an amazing 13, in October. So I keep thinking, he's going to die and couldn't watch anymore. He's still pretty strong and I'm going to spend the rest of his time, enjoying him, instead of being scared. Someone from your channel reached out to me and was so nice as I asked if when he does pass, if you could do a memorandum for him. There is no way I could leave him with anyone. I can't go to the store without him. We moved into a 55+ retirement community and I was fortunate, I could have him here. But apartment living for a Doby, is not ideal, luckily his energy isn't what it used to be, but we lived in the country. Kaiser defended the little Maltese we had, from anything on our ranch. He had acres to run, so the last 3 years of his life here in an apartment has been tough. He has adjusted to the other dogs here which is amazing if you think about it and is leash trained at 9 years old! Just the most amazing breed and people who don't have them, will never know what they are missing out on. He got me through a divorce and having to sell my ranch. Doberman's? Are heroes. Simple
Hi John. Great video, as always. Let me add another topic since it almost ruined this week's vacation plans. We have two Dobermans, a male of four years and a female of one year and three months. We had them with sitters together in the past, and everything worked out fine. This time, we had to separate them. The girl had extreme separation anxieties and probably barked and cried more in one night than in her entire life. Friends were able to pick her up, and she stayed with a familiar dog… which ended up working out. I don’t believe there is anything to blame on the sitter, but extreme anxieties are something to consider with our Dobies…
We tried leaving extra water and kibble out while we were away for 48 hours, without having found a dog sitter. When we came home after leaving "Camelia" (8 year old female Doberman) home alone in the backyard for two days, she was ill (vomiting and diarrhea). Took a month to recover. Not sure what went wrong, but may have been a change in diet before leaving (was fed some leftover people food).
I hope you’re joking. That’s extremely irresponsible. Leaving your dog home alone for 2 days is abuse. Dogs don’t have rules like humans. Chances are your dog ate all the food and drunk all the water within an hour. Then got curious and ate whatever else it could find..not to mention dehydrated too. Again, I really hope you’re joking.
Hi John! 🙋🏻♂️ My family did our best to take our Dobie with us on travel and vacation, but when we couldn't, we had my best friend take care of our Dobie after we familiarized him with our girl. I took his hand down under her nose to smell him. I made sure to hug my best friend IN FRONT OF my Dobie so that she saw he's a benevolent human. I had him perform familiar routines, like feeding, so she knew that he was a friendly for her when they were alone together. Dave never had a problem with our Dobie.
Those are such great "extra steps" you took to make sure your Doberman knew he was a good guy that you trusted and that she could trust, too! Very smart!
Yes! Here is an article on "How Long Can You Leave a Doberman At Home?": www.dobermanplanet.com/how-long-can-you-leave-a-doberman-home-alone/ and here is a video we made on separation anxiety: ruclips.net/video/Obvr8JrxJM0/видео.htmlsi=fYFV2iCrsP5nGNXp. Hopefully this helps!
Great video, as usual. Thanks! Still struggle with finding the right "sitter" for my adopted European Doberman. He's sneaky dominant in a passive aggressive way. Has them wrapped around his paws by the time I return... ❤
Thanks for this video. I just left my 2 Dobermans, 1 my boy 14mos and gurl 9wks, with my brother and sister. I’m sick about having left them for 2 weeks but am secure in knowing that they are in great hands! The part about getting photo/video updates was spot on. Makes me happy to see they are doing well while I am away! Thanks again!
@@DobermanPlanet I absolutely adore the breed mate, I've had them in my life since I was born, 38 years ago.....but I've not had one in my life for 10 years and I miss them so much 😢
The worst 13 months of my life was having a Doberman. Only get one if you don’t work and have 10-20 acres or more of land for it to run circles on every day
That's sad to hear. Most Dobermans are taken to the shelter during this time...this video explains why: ruclips.net/video/oZqGfdAIJDY/видео.htmlsi=njjRxgJvPj5yjR9R but, it is a short-lived period that owners have to push through. You do have to do research before getting them to know they do require about 2 hours of exercise a day, which makes sense since they're a working breed. Doesn't sound like one was the right fit for you, though. They're certainly not for everyone!

That's great to hear! A Doberman definitely knows who they can trust and who is there for them. Such a sweet moment shared by both of you!

Very smart! Great addition for your sitter to have on hand in case of an emergency!
I picked up my first Dobermann yesterday, drove 3000km. Now hes asleep on me. So tiny, now. ... :D
Congratulations!! I’m so excited for you to experience Doberman life. They’re exquisite, smart, loyal and an absolute JOY to have in the family😊🐾
@@loriw2661 Thank you very much! I cant wait to start working with him 😁 He is from good lines so I most likley got a very good working dog (not show lines).
Congratulations!! This site will help you SO much and is lots of fun too...Welcome to the Doberman Planet community ❤
Congratulations!! We are happy for you and your new best friend!
Thank you all :) And I started watching this channel as soon as I booked my puppy 6 weeks ago :)

This is to funny……I just finish dog sitting, a Doberman, my brothers family dog. It was good just the walking the dog was not good.
Haha that's great! So glad it went well, except the walking part. Hopefully your brother will be able to work more with him on that!
Thanks for this video. Looking forward to bringing our new Dobe pup home in a few weeks.
Congratulations! We are happy you'll be welcoming home your new best friend!
Excellent video, John. very good job thank you
Thanks so much, Cathy!! Really appreciate your support with watching all these videos!
Great insight! I keep a running docs file for each of my dogs. Anyone willing to babysit them has appreciated it. Simple stuff like "Toby really loves his ears scratched, if you do that, he will feel normalcy ".
That's a great idea! That's certainly helpful for the sitters!
Why are my Dobermans not excited about eating. It’s a chore. I’m feeding Ollie’s!

I completely agree. After you babysit a Doberman you’re probably going to want one..
Right - Zeus, Apollo patrol! Or in my case Zeppelin, Zoso (2 red Dobes) patrol
Zeke isn’t my first Doberman but he’s the hardest player on the block my vet but him Prozac and it’s helped him a lot.
I've have some money left over John which charity do you give to ?0 Doberman charity or dog charity

@@amirhamza122 No, when we returned most of the water and kibble were still in the various bowls we had left for her.
Please, please don't do this. How terrifying for your dog, she was ill from sheer stress of not knowing when and if you were returning.
They are a handful the doberman breed are definitely one of a kind just to much human behavior for sure but I love it..
Good video. Definitely needed information. Thank you.
Best doggo that ever had us… wants all the dobie pals 🫶🏻
I want to see more Doberman vs intruder scenarios
Yes loving dog, that's true, but they have also another side ... You shouldn't be fooled by their friendly and owner-oriented side.
Thank you! So glad you enjoyed this "crash course" in Dobermans that you can send to your sitter!
Please speak about dog agility, too

That was one of my favorite scenes from that show. That and the one where she has headphones on them.
Ours too!! It was so funny to watch!
My girl is my "Wild Child" and she is a big kid.
Those two are difficult to go together haha - wild child + big kid = crazy times!
Great video, as usual. Thanks!
