puppy

Hiiii! Wow, we fell off the Doberman Chat planet for the past year. It’s been eventful for Remy, and I’ve been wanting to properly catch up here, as I thought maybe some of the experiences we've been through/info we've learned could be of use to someone else down the road. But I just hadn’t been...

Hi, I am new to this forum and found it after doing some online research for my current puppy. I have a 15 month old male (neutered) Doberman. He has been to multiple basic obedience training programs and has always been spoken highly of. Ive had him since he was 8 weeks and have raised him...

Hey Everyone. We got our girl Nellie when she was an 8 week old pup. She is around 4 and a half months now. She is good with commands like sit, paw, other paw, lay down. We also have an orange female cat around 7 months old that she plays with. Once in a while she and the cat get out of hand...

Hi all :) I’m new to this site, and I have been reading threads on this but couldn’t find any that matched our situation. I’m really worried my puppy has turned quite a negative corner. He is almost 5 months old, and despite the fact we couldn’t ‘cuddle’ because of the puppy biting, I...

We recently bought a “ pure bred Doberman “ about a month ago . He was around 18 lbs when we got him and around 13 inches , over the last month he has grown 10 inches and gained 27 lbs. we just got a DNA test to see if he’s mixed with Dane or some other large breed . He’s beautiful and does...

Hi I have been feeding my 6 month old nutro large breed puppy food but I’ve been wanting to switch for a while but I’m having trouble finding good dog food brands. Does anyone have any suggestions?

My lad turns 7 months old this week and I have recently increased the amount of time that we exercise per day in an attempt to curb destructive behaviours that were, evidently, arising through a surplus of energy. I was scared of 'overdoing' the exercise with him at first as I had a vet tell me...

I want to start by saying I know puppy biting is normal and to be expected! My puppy is 3 months old, so I know we have a long ways to go. However, I am wondering if anyone has some tips to help manage it? Some days are worse than others, but I know most of what his “triggers” are. Most of the...

My puppy will be 12 weeks old tomorrow. I have been feeding him the same food he had at the breeders, PPP Sport Performance All Life Stages in the chicken & rice formula. His stool has been mostly soft since I got him, even with the addition of a probiotic and some powdered pumpkin. I think...

Hi Everyone, Just wondered what your advice would be for toilet training. Our pup is 5 months old now, he holds his pee all night. He will also hold his pee when crated in the day up to 6 hours which happens once every three weeks when I have to go to the office while my partner is on morning...

Hello all, I felt I needed to make an account after reading a few posts about this. As the title says, I'll be a first time Dobie Dad coming up here in just a few short days. I have recently been doing some [over]thinking about how I will be able to make my dog feel better while I am working...

Hi all! New to dobe-chat! Many forums out there are very upset when the same question gets asked, but with the pandemic, it seems as if everyone either has stopped responding to calls or doesn’t update anything on their sites anymore. Im located out of New York but am willing to travel pretty...

Hi! I am a first time Doberman owner. Our puppy is about 14 weeks old and he won’t cuddle with us. When he gets tired his biting get so bad that we end up just putting him in the crate for nap time. It’s almost like he doesn’t have an off switch with us. Is this normal and will he ever want to...

Hey everyone! I have a 6 1/2 month old (63 Lbs) male red and rust, I got him from a very reputable breeder, and he is AKC registered. Since he was about 2.5-3 months old he has been getting a UTI every 2-3 weeks and no amount of or different antibiotics will take it away for an extended period...

Hi everyone! I have a 10 month old puppy, his names Prince he’s the first Doberman I’ve ever owned and honestly best dog I’ve ever had he’s amazing in every way! He’s super friendly with people and dogs, and greets everyone as a happy pup! Thanks to socializing when I very first got him! He’s...

Hi I’m wondering if this has happened to anybody else or if it’s a bad thing. My 10 month old puppy (black/rust) has a few white hairs near his ears. They are not noticeable at all only when you are all up in his face… he only 6 white strands of hair. But I just find it odd ? Since he is...

Hey again, thank you for all the advice so far! Some context (skip this paragraph if you want to get straight to the question): Kanda is 8 months old tomorrow and doing alright. He is no longer going to day care or dog parks for the foreseeable future and we are locking down on training. We...

Hey all! Thanks so much for your help so far, I’m so glad I found this forum. My boy is 7 months and will be 8 months on Jan 6th. He’s been going to daycare 2x a week since he was 5 months. He’ll have to stop going soon, as they have a rule that puppies 8 months and older must be neutered. I...

I’m a first time dog owner and a first time dobie owner. I adopted my euro boy at 4 months old and he is now 7 months. I did so much research prior to adopting him but oh my lord I feel like I am failing. He is really testing me lately. He knows his basic commands (sit, stay, come, lay down, go...
