I originally had a Dremmel for house issues but it is a cord plug in and seemed to be a hassle getting caught around Ragnar's neck/legs, etc...

Figured I planned on having Ragnar for a long time so I invested in this cordless Dremmel.

It holds charge well. I currently take my time with Ragnar's nails and stop treat/praise often, entire time leaving Dremmel on for the constant Dremmel sound.

Some others may make suggestions but I would recommend one with various speeds. This 8050 Dremmel has various speeds. I started with the 2nd to highest speed and worked up to the highest speed.

The only negative I have is the highest speed has a roaring sound that is kinda loud. Ragnar does not necessarily like it but he tolerates it with cheese or turkey at the ready. The highest speed makes a big difference though, it files his nails much quicker than the other speeds.

Get something, desensitize and practice and you will develop a program/rhythm just like you did with his ears.

Also, as with the ears--try to have fun with it.

I have the same one and love it!

Instead of rawhide try pigs ears. They’re softer than bullysticks but when they get older bullysticks are the best for chewing and keeping busy.

Aww so cute and the ears are off to a good start! I agree that he's way to young to leave them out of posts for more than an hour or so or you'll lose a lot of progress.

Thanks for the update!

As JanS said
I wouldn't leave them down for days.
Take posts out, clean and dry ears and then repost with in an hour.

Had to give him a bath, because he pooped and peed in his crate 3 times today so I thought lets make a selfie, so you can see how big he is. I'm 167 cm tall!

Spot the Dobershark

He blended in so well!

Yikes. 3 accidents? Did he not indicate he needed to go? Too much water before hand?

He pees in his crate for (I think) attention since 3 days ago. When outside he holds it and when in the crate he wines and pees. Because then I come back and he gets to go out. Pooping was only twice and not his fault, I woke him up this morning and didnt wait before he pooped outside because I was in a hurry to do something for 10 min. Put him back in his crate in the meantime so he pooped (but not the usual amount). I then fed him and he didnt have to poop anymore and I had to leave for work. He always poops after eating so ofcourse a while later he had to go. My husband then overslept so yeah.. wasnt Ace's fault.

We're working on the peeing for attention. I already taught him to pee on command and thats going better and better so just a few days and it'll be done. At least I hope so... staying positive

 

[Kaiser2016]

I'd limit the water intake too.

 

[Ddski5]

I would limit the Vodka intake also.

 

[Kaiser2016]

It was funny because I didn't expect that, but I also disagree

 

[Ddski5]

Hahaha.... my first x-disagree...

Some Absolut would definitely affect not only his bowel/urinary functions but cause all the previously stated behavior problems also.

Crikey, it took me ages to spot him. I’m looking at the pic on my phone and needed to enlarge it to finally spot him. I thought you were having us on Lol

 

[DN2017]

I strongly recommend soaking the kibble in it and giving your dog a straw (gets them drunk faster).

 

[Ddski5]

Hahaha....
That's funny!!!

 

[Tropicalbri's]

Vodka sauce on kibble. Yummm.

Our sunny boy today

 

[Ddski5]

Wow. His coat is so shiny.

That's a beautiful Doberman.

 

[MyBuddy]

He's so handsome! I love his crop too!
