I could not imagine doing this. My boy would scratch the floor and bark insanelyI'll throw the ball in the house (low effort throw) and he has the challenge of finding it after its rolled under something.

If I throw the ball in the house it is thrown directly into their mouth. Occasionally it will bounce off their mouth or teeth and hit me in the face or knock something off the end table.I could not imagine doing this. My boy would scratch the floor and bark insanely
hahahahah I feel like dogs (and toddlers for that matter) ARE basically drunk people
I agree, my dogs are so ball crazy they only get balls during training. I am constantly trying to get my dogs to calm down in the house, bringing out a ball would be inviting mayhem inside.I could not imagine doing this. My boy would scratch the floor and bark insanely
K's toys are in a closet at the front of the house. He used to slip and slide to the back door to get to the yard, so now I pause before I open the closet door. He sits and then I make him heel walk to the back door. Sit again before going outside.I agree, my dogs are so ball crazy they only get balls during training.

Did you mean unleashed?Sure I can't make him heel walk while leashed but baby steps right
No I meant he pulls while ON leash. On another thread @Doberman Gang and I were talking about K's pulling on leash and I've been doing leash pressure training with him to get him to stop. Unleashed and motivated to get his ball, he suddenly does know what heeling is all about! he's such a funny little jerk sometimesDid you mean unleashed?
Every step is a new step!
I have Bogie doing this after you had suggested it. He does pretty good with it, maybe 4 hops before he goes back to all fours.Gel reminded me of indoor exercise/stimulation.
Have your Dobe search for things by scent.
If you can teach your Dobe to stand on its hind legs and jump toward you, this is great exercise! Takes commitment to teach this.

Not to mention they cannot get traction on the tile floor.

What's On Your Floor?
I learned to use a Gentle-leader with a choke chain attached at a common point to walk my first Dobe and have continue with that with Grace. The Gentle-leader keeps her focused forward and if things get dicey with another dog or human I still have great control with the second collar. I tried E collars on walks but prefer the Gentle-leader.No I meant he pulls while ON leash.

Believe it or not, for once, it was hotter by youLol mine get more exercise in the winter then the summer. Summers here can get up to over 100 degrees, we just had a major heat wave last week, it got up to 111 in lake forest, @Gelcoater Im sure it was bad for you too.
This week we have been able to get out and work and train and exercise lol
Same here. What is it with dogs not knowing stairs? Is it just something they have to learn when their legs are long enough? I was stumped when the dog just stood there looking at me. I turned to my hb and said, "so this is your guard dog?"Remember, this is the dog that had no clue what stairs were when he came here.lol
