I started training/working my two in rain, wind, thunderstorms, pretty much all weather so I wouldn’t have issues with them being skittish or fearful in different weather.Anyone else’s dobe absolutely not like the rain, potty breaks on days it rains is war I swear

Duke isn’t skittish or anything but he does not like going out in it at all, lol he will be all for it until the door gets opened and he sees it’s actually wet ,then he looks at me like you for real right now 
Crazy thing is he gets baths just fine he's almost a diva when it comes to rain tho

He will go out in it with me and wanna play n what not but the usual wanting to be out in the yard or going out alone nope not happening he waited til the sun came back and it was trying to get warm again before he went out in the snow. As long as it was actually like cold cold (for here anyway) he had his diva on and it was a potty trip on the leash only

The war comes once he realizes it’s wet and he’s still going out once we are out it’s fine but if he had his way he would not go out in bad weather
Yes, they can give you that look of Nope, no way, not going to do it. They will melt when water falls from the sky and they make sure you know it! Drama kings and queens for sure.

Duke can’t stay in the house all day it’s not good for my health lol
No you're not. Lol I can have Buddy out for a long walk and come back and he still is standing next to me with a toy in his mouth moaning, like, "take it, I dare ya!"
For two seconds I was thinking, you don't have indoor plumbing? Then I was like,
ohhhhhhhhhh. 
So cute! You're killing us with these puppies, who know! LOL

@MyBuddy the struggle is real my previous dobes weren’t working line at all duke is and I learned they mean it. he is full blast 20 hours a day (the other 4 I hide) I’m seriously thinking about getting him a treadmill. Right now he trains 2 to 3 times a day for 30 mins to an 1 hr depending how into it he is and if it’s a session with a trainer or not, then we always play fetch then search games to end each session and he still is in my lap with a toy as soon as my feet go up

I bought one for my two and it does take the edge off for a little while. I usually put them on it for 20min before we do training, biking, running or swimming. It helps with their focus.

I think you may have been the one put the idea in my head on another thread about duke but ive been giving it serious thought. My thinking was there is no way he can keep this up with all the training and what not oh boy was I wrong the only thing wore down after training is me lol

This is why I am building a cart for them to pull. Hopefully it will help with their endless energy. Doc told me they will be tired for about a week, then they will become more fit and develop more stamina so be prepared. I so did not want to hear that!My thinking was there is no way he can keep this up with all the training and what not

Well that’s just great energy to harass me longer lol he still will most likely end up with one for his own benefit if nothing else. But please keep me informed how the cart does for you, that may be our next stop as well
Doc, the pups vet has two huge Rotties and he runs them with his golf cart. Needless to say the golf cart is too slow to really wear them out. I told him to let them just pull the golf cart. He has to crate and rotate his males because they have gotten into some nasty fights. If he were to hook them on each side of the cart, he could exercise both at the same time because they wouldn’t be able to get to each other to fight, not to mention if they were tired they would be less inclined to scrap with each other (I think).
They each have their own ball but they always want what the other one has.
