If you’ve ever had a puppy, you know just how difficult training them can be. Just when you think you’re finished housebreaking and getting the basics under control, they become teenagers. Similar to some children, these can be the most challenging years of all.
Teen dogs like pushing their boundaries and often end up getting their way. If you struggle to resist their charms but would like to see better behavior, this man’s tips will be invaluable.
Watch how he stops his 16-month-old Doberman from begging in a video shared on December 11:
This is truly impressive. His dad, photographer Charles Lindsey @rubydobrucetoo, is undoubtedly putting in the work with Bruce. This handsome boy is a true teenager, and he’s pushing his boundaries. Today, while Charles was making a sandwich, Bruce was begging for a treat. When he directs him, “Out of the kitchen,” he complies. However, much like a human teen, he lets out a whine to protest a little. Here is where he warns us, “Most people fail at training because they don’t continue as they did with the puppy.” He goes on, “Puppies are easily trained while these guys are a pain in the butt.” Ha! That’s the truth. I’ve always found mine to be the hardest between the ages of one and three. When we take the time to put in the work, he reports, “If you push through this with your continuous training, you will have a well-mannered dog in the future.” That’s a fact.
This good boy has people impressed. Viewer @yfree1 applauded, “Excellent!! This should be mandatory for owning a dog. The dog isn’t the problem...it’s the owner.” That is almost always true. Viewer @vic2606 responded, “That’s where I have failed with training and my Doberman. He stayed in his teenage years. He is 5 now.” They're skilled manipulators when given the power. Viewer @nicole Lustgarten remarked, “Love the clean-up command!! I trained my Springer this same way, and people always gave me slack for being tough on her and then ask how she’s so good.” Well-mannered dogs don’t come easily.
Dobermans often get a bad rap because of bad owners. But they're smart, loyal, and wonderful companions. Bruce is a shining example of how exceptional they can be.

Training a Dog to Be a Gentleman
Bruce is doing a great job with the consistency of the training he’s receiving from his dad. When he tosses over a piece of meat, he knows to wait for his command before gobbling it up. He even calls him over and makes him leave it behind. However, he receives a reward for being obedient. He makes him wait a little longer before allowing him to get his prize using the “Clean up” command.This good boy has people impressed. Viewer @yfree1 applauded, “Excellent!!
