Are you wearing something different on your head?
Okay, here's the answer (and not to go against the concept recently talked about – and I agree) but: As to me teaser: Oji was so switched on in those two pictures because of this: My daughter and I played a quick game that had us throwing a semi-deflated balloon at each other and trying not to get hit by it. Oji is very stimulated/reactive to physicality. Really, I've been working his whole life to keep him calm – especially in the house! So, when he saw me playing this game and urgently moving to avoid being struck by the thrown balloon, he got very excited! His reaction was to come at me and get jumpy and nippy. I tried to keep the excitement going as I grabbed my phone and snapped the pics. Even on a sit, he was still amped up and ready to, umm, I guess bite Master. :rolleyes: Oji strikes me as a Dobe that would naturally do what people dream about – get physical if someone took a swing at me. Problem is, without training, it seems his reaction might be to bite ME.

He's keen to work. Kaiser gets that happy face when he gets his Jolly egg, Jolly ball, or white frisbee and goes into attack mode with the items. They are all independent play toys so he's free to try and bite whatever he wants. Safe biting outlet for him, completely safe for us.

Ok, would never have guessed that! I suppose you could call it prey drive, with you as prey. :rofl:

We also do a formal type of biting a tug toy. I'd like to get a video of it someday. He waits for the command to hit the tug and then it's a tug match that I imagine is slowly injuring his neck. Then I let him win the tug at the height of his aggressiveness.

I always wonder about tug toys and their necks too. When K was getting chiro, the dr specifically said no tug toys or jumping for a few days after the treatment.

I love the photo! What is the purpose of Rex Specs? Are they sun protection, or protection from dirt, dust, insects? I have never seen them used in Australia, especially out where I live.
They are UV protection, these are the clear lens. I will get them comfortable with the clear lenses before I introduce the smoke colored lenses. They stick their head out the truck window and when I bike with them it will protect their eyes. They hated the doggles so these goggles seem to work better for them. I took them for a run this evening with them on and they did fine. Plus it protects their eyes when they run through the mangroves.
 
Dobermans are such a loyal breed. I've never had a dog who constantly wanted to be with me. No matter what I was doing, he'd be there. If we go out to sit on the deck, you better bring Buddy. If not, he will be barking at the door within seconds. LOL It could be raining out here and he still wants to be with us. As long as we are sitting under the eave and not getting wet!
