  • Dobermans ARE DIFFERENT! They aren't like any other dog breed. These are the most important Doberman-specific tips that you MUST know as a Doberman owner. Dobies are very unique dogs that have a different personality and training style to many other dogs and if you aren't using their natural instincts and behavior tendencies to your advantage during training, you'll have an unnecessarily difficult time getting results from training. In this video, we'll discuss turning one success into many, ending your sessions with focus, leaning into repetition, utilizing consistency and routine to your advantage, and an important leash training concept that makes all the difference with Dobermans.
    As most Doberman owners know all too well, not every dog product works well for this unique breed. That's why I maintain a list of the best products I've found so far for Dobermans.

      This isn’t specific to only *this* fantastic video, but I just wanted to drop a note to say: thank you so much for all of the work, research, & positivity you put into these videos! A few years ago, I started to gain interest in adopting a Doberman, which I held in the ‘Top Three breed considerations.’ I have, now, firmly decided on this breed-- largely, thanks to this channel! The 'American vs European,' and ‘differences between male & female’ videos have been most helpful. Right now, I’m leaning towards female, American Doberman pup. I already have her name picked out! :)
      There are excellent European breeders in my region, but reputable / AKC American Dobie breeders seem to be a bit harder to come by here. If Doberman Planet ~ or anyone else in the community~ has firsthand knowledge of excellent, American Dobie breeders in the Midwest / heartland area, feel free to pass that recommendation along 😊 Thanks! - Leila

    Absolutely on target as usual, John. It cannot be stressed enough that these dogs will test their boundaries with you repeatedly and at every turn. It is easy to but crucially important that you not get frustrated and lose your patience with them about this, as it will only confuse them. They will know you are upset with them but will not understand why. Their empathic nature, genetic desire to be your partner, and extreme intelligence get all tangled up. You have to remember they are not being deliberately stubborn or contrary. As your partner...and they do see themselves as equal partners with you...they believe it is their duty-bound obligation to show you when they think there is a 'better way' to do things. patience and especially consistence are the key. We're not going to do it that way... we're going to do it this way and then reward the heck out of them when they let you win. Then they will get it - letting you win makes them win and get them what they desire the most...to please you and make you proud of them.

    What a subject matter expert you are on doberman's john!! Thanks again for the great tips. 👍👍👍 I have a neighbor who is sort of a wacko, And she is frightened of the breed. So she called animal control and said some things that were not true. That my dog charged her and ran across the street. Animal control investigated said they were going to give me a written warning. I protested,
    And explain explained that my dog Is a velcro dog and highly obedient. Animal Control then said do you mind if we test your dog. I said you can give her any test you want. So they did. And brought two animal control officers. My doberman went through a series of exercises including tests that they gave her. And my doberman passed everyone of them. They withdrew their Warning, Stated that they believed me over the crazy neighbor, Complimented my dog that she was exceptional, And they left shaking my hand telling me what a great dog I owned. But it wasn't just me! It was the fact that these dobermans respond with intelligence and obedience. Now I share this story with people and they Have a hard time believing me. That is, except for doberman owners!

    So true with the anchor idea when on. Leash. I’ve got a electric fence which is near one n half acres territory, I love it as the Doberman does. I show her the collar she comes n sits on my feet turned around to have her fit back on, and vice versa come evening. So simple a routine that I have to give her equal credit for helping me to be able to do that. My dog has a strong want but don’t let the want become anxiety and then it becomes more difficult but still possible when working with the Doberman. Show them love and they will give you a load back to you.

    Hi John! 🙋🏻‍♂️ I needed this Dobie-video today. I was thinking about my deceased Dobie girl, Cera June, (the butt bumper), the other day and this video hit perfectly. Thanks, man. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 P.S. Speaking of building habits and repetition with Dobies, my mom taught my dog, "Cera June, boundary!" My Dobie knew to instantly stop and sit even if she was at a full run. It saved her life once when she was about to run into the street with cars. She immediately stopped from a dead run and sat.

We train everyday, a lot of it is reinforcement, then every once in a while we throw in something new. We use your idea to say "guard " for speak. It works great, especially since she loves everyone. She never looks ferocious, unless she's protecting us from things outside lol. She will bark and come and get me, and tell me all about it, and I am supposed to follow her, which I do.

      Check out Susan Garrett's retrieve video. A really long toy works great and makes it clear to the dog when teeth are on clothing or body parts, it's game over. Also, Joel Beckman's satiation video is particularly helpful. Sara Ondrako has a great video on how to make a snuffle mat with a pocket. Getting them to think is also the key with Dobes. Teaching a new trick or even just sit, down, stand, and mixing it up so you can praise for making the right decision. Hope that helps.

    I don't know if it's a phase or if I did something wrong. My 7mo pup is no longer motivated by treats, she has toys but isn't motivated by them. I praise her when she does good.
    I am working on leash training (just like your earlier video) she does not want to yield to her leash/ collar. I've had to resort to a choke chain when I take her to the vet or groomers, so she can't pull out of her collar/harness. It's the only training she's been resistant to.
    Door dashing went really well, she learned to not cross thresholds without a signal. But, last week she saw one of our roosters and jumped the gate to chase it. It was sudden and unexpected; we've had the chickens and turkeys for years, they are at the fence every day, and my pup has never bothered with them. She chase him into the coop where mayhem ensued. Many feathers were lost, and a turkey was flipped on his back, but no blood was drawn (rooster doesn't cock a doodle anymore - he's to busy hiding behind the hens, now)
    Since this event, my Dobie pup is not interested in training treats or her flirt pole, she's never had a favorite toy to motivate her either. She's also avoiding eye contact with me now.
    Is this something I need to just work through? Is it a phase? Or, is there something I need to change?

    I think one of the biggest things that people need to understand about a Doberman is their need/ desire to be near you is intense. They seriously don’t call them VELCRO dogs for nothing. I’ve had 4 Dobermans, they are all clingy and attentive, and that’s great to an extent. My last surviving Dobe is a nine year old female, and in her older age her clingy-ness has increased exponentially. She has always been clingy but now it’s like DAMN. I love her to death but I have to send her to daycare if I’m off work just so I can have a moment of peace. Great Doberman for sure though!❤

The reputable breeders around here sell their dobes for 4k or more (usually 5 or 6k), and don't offer a lot of in-person visits. Do you have any knowledge or suggestions on this?

      My wife and I have a 6 month old dobie pup who went through quite a separation anxiety phase. We are first time dog owners (wife grew up with dobies but never raised one herself til now) and we live in an apartment and both work and go to the gym every day. We were dreadfully stressed because our dobie Ivy would howl and bark inside her kennel while we were gone. We eventually dedicated a specific special treat that we would give her before leaving (kibble in a kong wheel) and when we returned (pb stuffed kong toy). She would never get those treats any other time. We had to start small and go through a few really rough weeks. We would start with a whole week of leaving for only 15 minutes a day, then the next week at 30 mins, then 45, an hour, etc. we would monitor by furbo alerts (but stopped watching video feed because it would raise our anxiety) and eventually she stopped crying and whining. I’d say it took about a month to really get this down. Now I can leave for 2-3 hours at a time with absolutely no problem, and when I get home, Ivy doesn’t even want to say hi, she goes right to the freezer and sits for her treat.

    My doberman was two and half and kept in his kennel for 18+hrs a day. So I got a really cooped up dog with NO training except for potty training. He didn't pull but does now. Doesn't want to eat his food because he wants ours. He will actually eat base boards instead of his own food. We have tried every food out there for dogs. We have a bully pitbull that is trained perfectly and Chihuahuas and German pincher. He just seems very confused and food trainning doesn't work anymore either.

    Hey John I need your help but don’t have the money at the moment for the personal class and I wasn’t sure how else to reach out to you except for this comment, I have a Doberman pup his name is Milo, he’s 17 weeks, I took him to the vet at 10 weeks to get his ears cropped, the same day of surgery they posted his ears and taped them up and charged me over $900. And as you can imagine, his ears look awful now. I took the post off because they weren’t healing. Went to a different vet and got some cream for them, now 7 weeks after the initial surgery, they’re Finally stopping bleeding. But they’re all bent and mangled looking. I just don’t know what to do other then wait for the last scabs to remove themselves and continue posting myself. Any advice would be greatly appreciated I love my dog and want the best for him.

    I have a question: I've had 5 Dobermans up until now. The thing is, my 'little' 40kg/80lbs girls is beyond intelligent. I've been around dogs my whole life, and this is some next level intelligence. Yesterday, we were playing 'fetch' which is more I throw the ball, my boy, really big, 50kg? will fetch the ball, but not bring it back: none of the dogs I've ever had played fetch 😂. So the female checked this out, and saw that when I had the ball, I would throw it. She figured that out, and by the 5th throw, she would steal the ball from him and bring it to me. I've never played fetch with her before, we stayed on a farm, and running around in the veld is way more exciting than a ball. Being in town, I now have to keep them busy. My father taught her to jump up when she was a baby, she is 3 now, and it's the one behaviour that I cannot undo: I've tried giving treats when, after I tell her to get down and sit, I give her the treat, but she figured out that she gets more treats if she quickly jumps up and sit directly afterwards. Then I tried, telling her to get off and sit, and I'll wait until she is calm before I reward her with a head scratch, the end result is still the same. She uses techniques to work around the 'problem' and to manipulate. Yeah, she can also open doors and fridges. She also makes sad, deeply hurt puppy eyes, to work on my emotions to get me to be more lenient. Any advice? Btw, I talk to her, all of my dogs and cats, like I would to a human, and they understand what I say and respond to what I say and full on conversations, not just words. . .

      There's an awesome video on Boing. (Not sure of the author or RUclipsr). The woman just wanted to get from where she prepared the food to where the dog got fed without jumping. Took a little while but by praising the Boing and only reinforcing or acknowledging it when she asked for it, it worked and now she has a trick too. Boing - like Tigger the tiger. Also, Susan Garrett's retrieve video is one of the best out there. If you need a more methodical way, check out Training Positive. Hope that helps.

      Thanks for the tips in the other video on jumping up. I've been applying your techniques and it's working. She still tries to jump up, but with the voice command, hand signals and body ques, the leg thing, she is learning fast. She now sits, most of the time, when Im around her and she wants attention. She still jumps up when my back is turned. She is something else: she always works her way around what I'm teaching her 😁.
      My male Doberman came up with a plan to get me out of the house, if I'm in there for too long: it started about a week ago, he will bark at imaginary things in trees, and I will go out to have a look, and bam, I'm outside, and there is nothing in the tree. He is so proud of himself for figuring that out. They keep amazing me with the plans they concoct to trick me. For a dog to come up with that plan is simply mindboggling. They're not just dumb animals they can think in terms of our behaviour and form full plans, almost alike humans. If that makes sense

    Thanks. Very good video. If not trained and left to their own devices, they will be destructive and can be quite dangerous. Go ahead and read that sentence again. I’ll just add that training and consistency should start the day they set foot (or their not so little puppy paws) into your home. This also applies to a rescued dog. Let the routine and consistency begin immediately. With rescued dogs, it might be h logic to have a professional trainer help. They are never too young to begin. Their primary focus is you (and food when they’re puppies), use that to your advantage. I think you showed this, but didn’t mention that their food is not something to guard. They need to earn it and it can be taken away at any time. Resource guarding is dangerous and can be extremely dangerous if you have young kids in the house. Best dogs ever! I wouldn’t have anything else, but I recognize that Dobermans aren’t for everyone. Had them since the 70’s. Yeah, I’m old.

    New Doberman owner and I fail at leash walking! I have tried to teach heel position and for her not to pull a million times. We can walk around inside but forget it if we are outside. From what I understand is this probably means Millie does not know what I want her to do! So lost and confused. I would love to take her on walks. We settle for staying in the backyard. Which granted we live on 3 acres but I would love to take her to my job, Petco and other places. I just can’t depend that she won’t pull me off my feet! Also, she loves to jump on people when we are in public. At home, we all turned our back and didn’t acknowledge her while jumping and she knows if she wants to see anyone who comes through the door, it’s all 4 on the floor. Very consistent with it. Door bell rings or anyone comes through the door all we say is all 4 on the floor. She is golden. Let it be a new exciting person, nope. I might as well sound like Charlie Brown’s teacher! So discouraged with my ability to train/lead. Millie is so loving and happy. I would love to give her bigger experiences. Right now, we only go to my office when no one is there, walk downtown when it isn’t busy, go to Petco when it first opens etc. anything to avoid lots of people. 😢

      Check out my response to the 5 Dobermans comment above. Susan Garrett has a greet and regreet video. Love Joel Beckman's Rottweiler named Creed video for the foundation video for loose leash walking and reactivity. You're not going anywhere unless they're on your page. Quick 5 minute game of retrieve before a walk helps take the edge off. Put in the work up front and you never have to worry after. Like back and forth in the driveway until taking a step off the driveway. They earn their way to the next part of the walk. Kikopup and go say hi - especially for working dogs rather than people coming into the dog's space. Also, great video by McCann and instructor Carol with a field Spaniel named Cheerio. We use this in classes too. The empty dish is across the room. You're just doing about turns until you can get to the dish on a loose leash. The dish represents anything the dog wants - people, dogs, cats etc. Hope that helps.

Definitely a lot easier training my pug!! 😂 I figure if this is the worst problem she has it is something we can definitely fix. It’s been so hot here Millie can really only handle being outside for 30min or less. Hoping these extreme heat advisories end soon!
