I think it might be worth mentioning as well, that from the day we brought her home, my roommate and I noticed some of these weird behaviors. At the time, we didn't know what was normal for doberman puppies, and we kept being told that they're tough until about 11-18 months old. But really...

Update - Not the update I wanted to be making. Progress is never linear and setbacks are to be expected; this, however, was more than a typical set back. Eris has been doing well overall. Taking her out on walks, even letting her off-leash in places no one is around has been good for her. A...

Thats a great idea! I will go look for one of those. Black would definitely be preferable, too. Thanks!!

My 2 cents: 1. If your dog loves their crate, I don't think crating them when guests come over will change that. Maybe give them a little treat for going inside and then ignore them while you have guests over. I frequently crate my dogs when guests are over just so we can have some peace and...

Ouch that looks painful! Poor baby. I can see how the location of the wound is a real pain to keep bandaged. My dobe is clumsy as heck and always smashing into things and getting random scabs. I dread the day she actually really hurts herself. I hope recovery goes well!

Thank you :))) I don't want to say her previous training was bad, I think it just needed to pivot to something else, and that's the downside of a 1-time board-and-train and not continuing classes or being able to observe it yourself. I still think board-and-trains are better than not training a...

Just an update! It's been about a month since we stopped using the eCollar for anything (put it away) and started incorporating new home/training habits., and I've seen a marked improvement on all fronts. The main improvement is she seems far far more relaxed in the house, not like she's...

Hi all! This is a continuation of my Introduction, since I wanted to post it in the right place. Eris' Story: Eris will be 2 in April 2025. I got Eris at 16 weeks from what we thought was a reputable breeder. It checked all the boxes.... until it didn't. The more I learned in the 6 months...
