    Stassi went too far with her own nail trim

    This is what 3 hrs of swimming does. All that running and jumping off the pool deck ground them off a little too much.

    Stassi; better and worse.

    At my businesses shop I keep the gate on the road barely open enough to fit my truck through. I have no trespassing, caution dog will bite and no semi’s beyond this point signs all attached to the rolling gate. Oh and a 3 foot sign with my business name and address attached also. So 90% of the...

    Vom Landgraf litter… Blast from the past

    https://m.facebook.com/people/Landgraf-Working-Dogs/100046239647433/ What would you expect from this breeding? Does anyone know any of these dogs from the pedigree? @Doberman Gang do you remember Citto? I’m from California, so Wendy is only 3-4hrs north of me.

    Stassi stopped a late night intruder

    My freshman son had his high school winter formal last night. He got dropped back off at home last night a little after 11. We were in bed at the time, and Stassi was sleeping in her bed on the floor. I heard the house front door open. Stassi jumped up running to the entry. She let out one bark...

    What do you guys think of this Doberman?

    I came across this video the other day the Doberman is around the one minute mark. I’ve seen on a previous video this dog was bought for a client as a personal protection dog from Eastern Europe. It’s so interesting the difference in breeds when you watch them back to back. PS: I’ve heard that...

    Dominant dog collar?

    Just wonder If anyone has any experience using? What are some of the pros and cons vs other collars? Compared to choke chains and prongs for example. I would think it would be in between the two, less physical force needed than a choke but more than a prong.

    Growling at nothing much

    Not much of a video. But the light really showed her great physique that she’s been working so hard on. Haha

    Leaving the food bowl in the middle of eating?

    Stassi won’t start eating until released. Which she is still doing, but last week she started to leave the bowl halfway through eating. Then come find me in the house and look to me to be released again. Giving full eye contact and drooling looking for the release command. Once given she would...

    Doberman Feet

    I know the standard calls for tight “cat like” feet for a Doberman. But a lot of the working line dogs have looser toes as far as I can tell. I figured this was for more articulation of the toes. Helping with athleticism overall. But I was reading a discussion on GSD’S someone was asking for an...

    Morning bike ride

    Me and Stassi have been going on morning bike rides. We usually do 4-5 miles with a loss and gain of 500-700 feet. I try to go out early, so there’s less of a chance of running into some two legged animals out there. Haha A deer was bedded down in the thick trees on the edge of the meadow...

    Sleeping in the middle of the house at night?

    Just wondering if anyone else’s dog chooses to sleep in the middle of the house? Stassi goes to sleep in her bed inside my bedroom at night. But she only stays in there for an hour or two then gets up and goes to sleep on the floor in the central part of the house. Where she chooses to sleep at...

    What would your reaction have been?

    Me and my family ski in the winter a lot. I usually leave Stassi at home in her crate. But it was later in the season and the weather was a bit warmer. So I took her up with us. She was in the bed of the pickup in her crate with the cover on. I would go and let her out a couple of times during...

    Drive intensity vs Depth of drive

    I posed this question in another thread but felt I was hijacking the thread. One aspect of drives in dogs that fascinates me. And I’d appreciate your guys thoughts or opinions on. Is intensity and how it relates to depth of drive. For example I’ve seen hunting labs that will play fetch until...

    How do you feel about this guys opinion on the modern Doberman?

    I came across these series of videos from “The jaded dog trainer” on Ray Allen’s YouTube page. To boil it down the content creator feels the Doberman has been watered down from a real ass eater. To a “sleek,muscular,ottoman”. What do you guys think?

    Stassi's evaluation with Joel Monroe

    I had my evaluation with Joel Monroe on Wednesday. I have a lot to say but not sure if I have the time to talk about it all in one post, haha. His opinion was…. Yep she’s a Doberman. And she wasn’t as thin nerved as I believed. I guess to start out with. I got the feeling that I was the...

    Diving/swimming

    I’m wondering if anybody has gotten their dog to actually do a few strokes under water for a retrieve? I was hoping that some of the water sports people might have some tips? I have personally seen a lab that would go 4-6 feet in a pool to get a ball. So if their is anyone out there that has...

    Benchmark Dobermanns

    Are their any members here with a Benchmark dog? Or have any of you spent any significant time around one of their dogs? My female Stassi will be two in September. So we are starting to think about adding another dog in a couple of years, maybe. Whether or not to add another dog comes down to...

    Tried to hire a trainer/behaviorist.

    I saw a yard sign in my neighborhood the other day advertising for a trainer/behaviorist. I had been thinking of bringing in a professional to evaluate Stassi’s temperment. And too see how she could be handled by someone outside the family. The trainer is associated with my vet which also...

    Training Progress

    Hi guys, My pup is the first dog I’m trying to formally train. I had a blue heeler for 15 years that was well behaved. But became that way kind of organically from going to work with me everyday for 8 years. So my dobe is 8 months old now and we’ve been working on engagement and the basics since...
