It's a Dobie thing!

You should see Oji's performance at the front door when the mailman comes onto our porch. I should video tape it, though I don't have a Youtube account, so uploading videos to DCF is not that feasible for me.

We should have a thread of members' Dobes going off at the front door, then have a vote for the most impressive. We could also have a winner for the Dobe most crisply obedient in ceasing upon command.
Now that's a fun idea !
 
Mischa is so funny with that. She sounds so ferocious when someone's at the door, but also waits until the other dogs bark like she's not sure what to do yet haha... We recently taught her speak and her "speak bark" is so high pitched as compared to her bark for a reason

Freaking out during thunderstorms?? Or even just rain? All of mine have/do. I was relieved to learn I could give them "people" Valium; get it from my doc; with my low insurance co-pay, saves me mucho bucks on vet tranqs. I have scars on my arms and legs from their pawing me for - not making the scary noises stop?? I feel bad for their being so scared, but, ye gods, it can drive you crazy!!

Do you need an 'account'? I've been doing it for so long that I've forgotten how I started it. :scratch: I don't upload for anything except DCF. :) I don't post anything public. I just use it solely for being able to post something here. I think you can do that without any special account or anything.

I believe on has to have an account such as one with Youtube or some other video uploading service. Mr. Von clarified that recently by saying something akin to he doesn't host videos on his server because it takes up too much space and resources. (which I totally understand)
 
I think you need an account too. I have a YouTube account, I believe it's just my gmail account, but I never used it to upload videos before here :-) I had one to verify my age to watch "adult content" (really, a song that curses needed to verify I was over 18) awhile ago so I don't remember what all went into creating one. But when I upload I always select "visible only to users with link" so none of my videos are public. You can only view them by the link I post here (or if I share the direct link with someone)

If I recall, my last two Dobermans have, when we don't prevent them, sometimes put their rear ends up on couches and chairs.

Current boy, though never allowed on furniture which has always been my policy, likes to come up and put an elbow on the couch. It can be hard to detect especially if he's getting loves from my wife. I have to lean over and see if that little elbow is up there.

What about it? Any of your Dobes like to put their butts up on furniture? Or their elbows? I realize it is going to be hard to find anyone who does not allow their Dobermans on the furniture.

Ares no never ;)
Lap dog level: Expert
image.webp Passed out on the couch lolimage.webplol apparently the laundry makes a seat image.webp I have a billion more of these if his butt can reach it he will sit on it lol don't be alarmed I pick up his toys when he passes out lol
 
Yeah, we have no doubt Oji would be a lap dog if we let him, and he is a top-level, prolific comfort-seeker.

Put anything on the floor and he wants to lay on it. A folded towel for me to do sit-ups on, he will try to lay on it if I give hime the chance. My daughter's clothes thrown on the floor: A bed to him.

He will put his head and neck in our laps. Truly, he wishes he was the size of a min-pin.

Ares puts his head in laps lol it's cute !
 
Oji is often pushy about it (Oji pushy? How could it be?). But we like to tell him to sit or lay down, then give him the go-ahead to plant his head and neck in our laps.
Lol it's ok Ares is pushy as well and I can be a bit of a push over if he's being sweet lol he gives "the face" lol

There are times when he will come up and plop his head on the keyboard of the laptop, or will come up and almost make us spill our glass of wine on the couch and rug with his insisting to put his head in our laps. So yeah, boundaries and rules :)

Lol Ares so far hasn't made spill but I think the funniest one he did was he was sitting on my the bed staring at me as I was typing on my phone and he put two and two together and touched my phone out of my hand not hard but I was cracking up. I looked at my fiancé and tears running down my face from laughing so hard. It was like he's was saying " that's enough now pet me." Lol dobes
Trust me he has plenty of rules and boundaries ;) I think you know that hahaha

HA!! Did he knock it out of your hand with his beak or with his paw? I've always read and heard of Dobies acting up when their owners are on the phone, and I've certainly experienced that.

And yes, I know you have rules and boundaries for Ares. Oh, Ares, one day you may be allowed to sniff as you walk! ;)

Ava has a stealth approach to getting lap-time. She'll start out sitting nicely, quietly next to me in my "TV chair" to get her love-pats, until she (apparently) thinks I won't notice as she Ever. So. Slowly. puts a paw on one of my legs. Eventually, the other follows, and she Ever. So. Slowly. raises herself up and across my lap. The little minx!

Oh yes. Too funny! :facepalm: :nono: :)

Oji will sneak his elbow up onto our couch on which we are relaxing. Yup, just an elbow. Yup, I thwart it.
