training

Hi, I have a five month old European doberman that I got when he was 3 months old. In these past few weeks he has developed a really bad biting problem where he snarls, growls, barks and bites people in the house, especially my sister. Me ( the dogs owner ) and my sister are the main targets for...

Hi there! I have two male dobermans who turned 3 in January. They are only 6 days apart in age but are not litter mates. I got Duke when he was 6 weeks old and is an absolute sweetheart. He is my shadow and sleeps with me every night. When Duke was 10 weeks old we adopted Max from an ad. So they...

Hey guys, Just need to vent... Crate training is still not going well. At this point I WISH we only had to deal with whining in the crate. DeSoto’s whining has turned into full out screaming, barking, howling, and scratching and digging at the crate when he’s put in there during the day. We...

Hi Everyone, I've been lurking for a while but wanted you all to know that this group has been extremely helpful for me. I got my now 10 month old female red dobie, Oya, in January at around 4 months from a breeder. She's been a wonderful dog overall. Some separation anxiety issues here and...

If you have sent your dog to a board and train How was your experience? How long did they go? I’ve been looking into it as a possibility for my girl when she’s a bit older if we aren’t making the progress I’d like (I put as much time into it as I am able but I wish it was more) Is there any...

Ever since we got him his been kinda scared of other dogs. We even ran into his sister sibling whiling visiting a vet a couple weeks after he came...

My girlfriend and I were talking about the possibility that someone might want to poison our dobes by tossing poisoned meat over the fence if they were afraid of the dogs. It’s always a real possibility so we decided we need to get a game plan together to start training in poison proofing. My...

Hi guys, I feel like I make a lot of forums asking a bunch of stuff and I’m sorry aha! Just wanna make sure I’m doing the right things since it’s my first time raising a puppy. I had a couple questions and opinions regarding my puppy. So we got him March 5th and between me and my spouse we...

Hey guys! Just curious. My boy Haku is just over 8 weeks old and is being crate trained. He sleeps in the crate at night which is located in our bedroom. My boyfriend will put him in and sit outside the crate right when we go into bed. He will whine a bit but then settle down and sleep. He...

Jill here, 19, and my boy Jack has now been with me for a month. As far as doberman go, he’s a great dog with a really kind temperament. I’ve managed to work with him on a lot of his problems. When we got him he had been raised in a living room of a condo and slept outside on their balcony at...

Hello, Our Maya is 11 months old and even with continuous training I cannot get her to listen to me. She listens to my partner however she runs circles around me. For example, she’ll be calm and obedient around him however as soon as he leaves the room she becomes very naughty. Such as knocking...

Hello everyone! Just wanted to post an update as I have not been on for a little while. So Jaxon is 3 months old roughly. We are on week two of posting his ears. Today happens to fall on a rest day for him so we didn’t post him. His ears are pretty much standing on their own but they do sag a...

Hello! So my husband and I have decided to become Doberman owners. I think they are a beautiful breed, I love that they’re athletic, and I plan to do obedience training and lots of outdoor activities together. My last pup who recently passed away was a mini dachshund, so this is a big change...

I'm looking for advice on transitioning to a flat collar. Maeve has done prong and e collar training. We just enrolled in therapy dog classes. I know I can't test with anything but flat. Should I keep ecollar on and clip to flat and work her that way? Or go just with flat? She obeys well...

As some of you know I am new to this forum also have not received my first ever dobe pup from the breeder yet . He is only 6 weeks old as of today . Wanted to ask all you friendly dobe owners out there who have well trained pups to share with me somethings I need to do to make sure I have a...

*Staff Note:* Posts were moved from ecollar recommendations thread as there was some useful training specific advise that would be more suitable and easier to find by being in their own thread :) Carry on!* I had to crank up on Bogie with going after our indoor/outdoor cat. He didn't respond to...
