    here's another idea you might want to try. Get the canine good citizen certification to show prospective landlords. It might convince them to allow an exception to a no dogs rule.

    Dog Food!!!

    I think Canidae all life stages is good and affordable. But you really need to learn how to read the ingredient label of whatever dog foods are offered in your area.

    How do you exercise your dobe pup in Winter??

    I try doing a fast walk or jog with my dog since walking feels cold. Don't know if you like jogging but it would definitely raise your body temp higher than plain walking. Also I do play fetch down a long hall indoors.

    From calm and happy to growling and snapping in 2 seconds flat

    Also keep in mind it may not be an issue that he is trying to be the dominant one or protective of you. A doberman may just give a growl because something is making him uncomfortable. It may be a confidence or shyness issue. Do not let people just walk up to him and touch him, they should...

    Barking... Bad Habits... Suggestions on how to deal?

    Although I agree with the above that dobes should be allowed to do their job and alert you with a bark, I'm not sure it's okay to alert you to something 40yrds away. I personally do use a shock collar and think that they do have their place if properly used. Don't use the automatic kind (which...

    What first attracted you to the Doberman breed?

    I once worked as a security guard with dobermans, and man did I feel safe. People really show you respect with a dobe at your side. I also love their look, the elegant athlete I call it and they rarely have the usual doggie smell, a pretty clean dog they are.

    Ox and the dog park-not good

    Your poor buddy Ox has also realized that you can't always protect him as his pack leader, contributing to his fear. I too would stay away from dog parks, for all the reasons mentioned above, safety, hygiene, bugs and the issue I found with my dog, ground hog holes. The park i took my dobe to...

    Excited Doberman

    Oh boy, Rocco needs to learn some manners, and I hope your wife is okay, this must have been very stressful for her. It sounds like the poor dobie has some fear aggression. He needs to slowly be desensitived to different situations since he's probably feeling insecure about his environment. He...

    Itchy boy!

    You can also try sprinkling some flax seed (good for omega 3 like salmon) on your dogs kibble food.

    Standard Doberman Weight

    I was looking at the american standard for the doberman and noticed it didn't mention anything about weight guidelines. Did I just miss this or is there no weight standard for males and females?

    Do you have Christmas Stockings for your Dogs?

    Blanket sucking?

    I have a dobe that is 5yrs now and she still occasionally sucks on her blanket. Does anyone know why an adult dog would do this? I'm going to do some research on google and try to understand this. I have heard that maybe it's a mental issue or indication that the puppy was taken from the...
