For us Albert is the velcro boy so he usually comes faster than Della if she's "busy". They both have good recall but Albert will come first if they're hot on the trail of something.
This was today when they were on the trail of something. Albert came running right away and you can see that Della is somewhat disgusted.

For sure, let me know when it happens with Jax so I at least have hope for Bogie.
Well...he's a fascinating kid. Out in public, he is perfection. He never engages in his ass hat behavior until it's just us. People comment on how wonderful he is, how obedient, how "calm," etc., and I'm like...Wanna come home with me for a bit so that you can see a few little "personality quirks?" He truly is getting SO MUCH better, so I really have no complaints, but when he does decide to "f**k around" and screw with me...it's no joke. He is full-blown butthole!!

What a great shot! Yes, Albert is definitely keen to come back faster. Can't wait until Kaiser does this more consistently.For us Albert is the velcro boy so he usually comes faster than Della if she's "busy".

Around other people Kaiser is so well behaved. Totally calm and cool and people are always so surprised. I love to hear the praise as it reflects so well on (me!) him being a "scary" Doberman. But at home he's way more rambunctious.

Oh man B, you just described exactly how Miesha was... she and Jax really were Brotha'/Sista' from anotha' Motha'!!!
Mr. Bogie doesn't know it yet but he is getting ready to get his wings clipped. I am tired of saying come with a 'NOW' added to it to get him to respond.
I must say too though, he is a good dog he is just a huge goofball and is so interested in testing his boundaries. We had a come to Jesus meeting this morning over the cat. He is going to learn no means no!!
It's a lot of work to work two dogs but I am getting there, not without my share of bruises. Lol

Bahahaha. People come to visit and are like " :O ! Your dogs are soooo well behaved" and I'm over here like "noooo, they're assholes who just know when to put on the charm". Sit calmly for pets? You bet ya! Actually listen impeccably to every slight command? Of course! Make me look like a lunatic for ever complaining about their dickish ways? Most definitely!

It always felt that way...well, except the first time I actually talked to you on the phone, and you were "putting her through her paces" before she could go to her dinner bowl. THAT time I thought, "Shit, I was impressed with myself and my Jaxie because he will 'sit' and wait until I say he can have his food. Baby Miesha actually does 'tricks' for dinner!" I stepped up the training regimen then!! (I think they were 3 & 1/2 months old!!) Sweet Miesh...

I feel the same...I especially like it when I can tell that someones who says good things about him is somewhat "taken aback" that he is such a sweet dog because they clearly had other expectations of a Doberman. So...I guess that he waits to be a jerk until we are at home is a good thing. It's really only ever when he is just COMPLETELY AMPED UP about something, but even that is getting better. He has free roam of the house now, and I love that.
My sister arrived late last night...she's been away for quite some time (maybe almost 3 months) dealing with a situation with her daughter, and she could NOT believe how he acted. He loves her, and she was prepared for a full-blown 90-lb. jumping/licking, etc. love fest because it's been so long...plus she was carrying take-out food and grocery bags (which contained paper towels...a "hot item" for Jax.) You could tell he was excited, but he just followed her around for about the first 10 minutes she was here (making sure that some part of his body was touching her at all times, of course.) She was like, "Ummm...Jax, are you okay?...Why are you pretending to be such a good boy?" He has matured a lot in the last several months.

Oh Lord...I wouldn't have stood a chance with two at a time!! You do a great job. And, yeah, you've got the battle wounds/stories to prove you have indeed raised 2 Dobe pups!
Loving her play time!
We've got a tired out boy, too. We've spent the last 10 mins or so playing with bubbles in the garden. He loves to snap them

Toronto hit 85 from 65 in two days and her ears are not standing. Ps: meet the snugle bodies.
Della seems to always be stepping out and strutting her stuff
