Was only joking about the sardines. Pray to heaven that this is only something minor and not something that could be life threatening for your dog.

Not a Vet and don't play one on TV but - :) Looks pretty clear to ME that your dog has a serious sardine deficiency going on there. :)

Which is WHY you want to nip this in the bud sooner rather than later. :)

Back during the scamdemic when (some) Vet clinics would not let the humans come inside - I took the girls for a weight check and they sent a pair of Vet assistant young ladies outside to bring the girls in and check them. The one girl asked if they followed commands and that is EXACTLY what I...

That is a good looking Doberman.

I looked up that tape (Zonas) and it said it was athletic tape. Picture on the box did anyway? Johnson and Johnson makes the Elastikon as well. I bet we get at least 10 different brands listed before long! :)

Sometimes things as simple as an immediate and loud / angry sounding 'NO' can be enough to let them know that their level of biting was not appropriate and not going to be 'allowed' or tolerated. That works a lot of the time and especially so when they are young and still learning bite...

All tapes are not created equal. If Jan suggested a particular tape you can rest assured that she has used it and it worked well for her. Definitely has the experience to make a good decision when it comes to that stuff. :) I got hooked on Elastikon when I used it with the current girls. Vet...

I noticed that focus too. That dog was down right eager to follow commands and waiting for more! :)

Not all Dobermans. Sure, some are going to be more inclined to chew stuff they should not be chewing up but not all. Out of mostly habit I just don't put anything inside the crates any more. Easier to keep things clean, no chance of them destroying / ingesting whatever... Current girls have...

Was walking outside of a Petco parking lot one day with my girls when they were little when a dog jumped out the open window of a passing car and ran up on us in an aggressive way. That crap got handled by my boot several times before the owner collected his mutt and put in back in his car...

I would have fired that trainer on the spot for suggesting medication for noises with respect to Dobermans. And then fired her again for being against pinch collars.

Awesome! :)

Would bet money you already know this but going to toss it out there anyway just in case - Confidence is really important and something that needs to be built. If you set it up the first few times where it is easy for the dog to do it and they build that confidence - My previous girls used...

Was looking at the face mostly.

A Doberman mixed with what else?

My thinking as well. Mine are fairly regular with one happening in the mid morning and one after dinner. (both times fairly firm) The soft serve stuff they squeezed out at the park today about mid day was a 'bonus' poopie and not done incubating yet. Only reason they even did it was because...

I don't believe for a minute that it is mere coincidence that not a single Vet that ever prescribed me that stuff (and charged me for an office visit) ever bothered to ask what I was feeding them. Or ever mentioned allergy testing. (which they CAN do nowadays on dogs if they send a sample off...

Would be more funny if that was not something that the 'woke' idiots in America could actually dream up. The garbage they are pushing on us nowadays rightfully would have been laughed at only a few decades ago but here we are today - they are doing it and the majority remains silent about it.

I got one like that! Pretty sure it is a special Doberman awareness trait that only a select few have still. (the tongue detecting vibrations / microscopic chemical changes in the air and such to alert them to the presence of bacon (or sardines) even IF they are sleeping sort of thing) :)...
