Jee so many people are so mean. :/ By the way, you've got a beautiful dobie there :) Don't reply to all the stupid comments, they're juss being jealous.
@m33lad the food gets fizzled out so she no longer gets food as reward. There has to be reward in the beginning stages of all training. in MY opinion. It works for me and that's all that matters. Thanks.
@VituMV just patience & common sense. we trained for obedience up to level 3 & have one title on her. Tricks come after obedience training but is based on the same principles.
great dog! usually when a dog is aggressive, it's because of its owners not properly training and socializing it (or desensitizing) or result of a bad breeder breeding a dog with aggression issues.
Beautiful dogs!! Just got our 1st Dobe almost one tiring and almost sleepless month ago! Whew, I had my husband get a vasectomy for a reason... NO MORE BABIES! Just like the kids, can't wait for her to grow up so I can see how gorgeous our girls' going to be!
I have a 7 month old dobe he is great !!! I have 3 kids ages 9,4 and 2 and he is amazing with them so gentle even as a puppy. He follows my 2 year old round around all day his name is Zeus and she calls him my Zeussy baby !! They are fantastic, loyal and very loving dogs but can cause a lot of trouble to !!!
Lol aww thats cute!! they do have to find things to get into. I remember sitting on the couch in the living room with my parents one day & bentley opened the back door & just came strolling in like he owned the place....we've learned to keep doors locked now lol
Yeah I started training her myself before we attended official training and trained her to heal via a pivot instead of the "proper" way. I dont mind and never fixed it because she finishes where I want her so it's no biggy for me. We dont compete in obedience so no one really cares. LOL good observation though!
dont let the video fool you into thinking a dog you get will be just like this one. They are a lot of work and require many hours of training. This dog has thousands of training hours put into her. think long and hard about that before you buy one.
what a beautiful girl. i have a 13 yr old male that i truly love more than the world, im getting a puppy to start the transition for when his time comes, i really have had no excitement about a puppy til i saw ur great video n remember how much fun when they r younger. thanks for the sunshine during my cloudy time.
hallo there,i wanted to ask if its truth what they say about these dogs,they say that after some years they become crazy?i love these dogs but i dont want to kill it if someday go crazy,so can you help me?
Are you joking...? Surely you're joking... honestly now, "become crazy?" Nothing just magically becomes crazy. If your dog goes crazy, you MADE it crazy. Treat it right, and stop this absurd lunacy about killing your dogs in some mythical mental state.
no that is absolutely not true. It does make me sad though, what people believe because of silly rumors. Dobermans are dogs like any other dog. They are a working breed and need training like any other working breed. Please never believe anything you hear in life about any subject. Always educate yourself. It pays to do so in all aspects of life.
i am about 2 get a doberman this weekend but i am a little scared. it a very small dog now but i know it will grow. plz some advice should i get it or not?
Watching this makes me just giddy. I just LOVE dobies.... They are so smart, and incredible athletes. Mine will just play catch for hours if id throw it. lol. I go through tennis ball like water. then got smart and started buying those chuckem balls. Or kong balls...
oh "chuck-it's" are GREAT! I have one of those. I'd be lost without mine. My girl gets a daily R-U-N in the P-A-R-K (we have to spell it around here) and that cuck-it saves my arm and gives her HOURS or entertainment. We play fetch daily.
Love the dogs! and Love the video! Very creative! I like it best when videos are mixed in with still pics. Beautiful dogs! My dog is just as crazy about his ball! I bet your dobie does what mine does.. if nobody will play with him, he tried dropping his ball in various containers to see what it will do. Except, when he can't get it out, he whines for me to help....tricking me into playing with him! ;) lol
yes mine does have some crazy antics when it comes to demanding my attention. She drops her ball into stuff that she can't get it out of and then stands there and barks at it until I come get it for her. Who's got WHO trained there!! HA HA
Wonderful well behaved and absolutely beautiful Doberman. I am thinking of getting one when Hubby retires in a year..have started researching the breed (health issues, temperment, etc), and all the do's and don'ts with them. Have also considered taking in a older rescued dog as we are older ourselves....any advice for this Dobie beginner would be helpful..:-)
beware of rescue operations, they can be a little nutty (or seem that way) about criteria THEY feel makes a good forever home. Some feel they have the right to know your entire life in order to adopt you out a dog which can get a bit ridiculous but for the most part they have their hearts in the right places.
good for you for having her in training. All Dobes need training. Proper training by someone who knows the breed. Enjoy her, they are a real priviledge.
Yes they are. Many people work hard to tone down the natural drive to protect. They can be a little indiscriminate about when is the right time to protect resulting in not so good things. It's actually part of a well bred dog but is what makes obedience so important. Protective is good, protective without obedience is bad.
is your doberman from an american line or european? Im planning to buy 2 dobies and i cant seem to decide which one i should buy. which one do you think is better in terms of being a family pet?
I believe a breed of dog (even though it was entirely man made) should be the closest thing for size workability and temperment that it was originally bred for. I think they are FAR better animals if they are bred with the closest thing to their country of origin by breeders who work them in their respective diciplines. However if you want a lab in a dobe suit, get an American one. ;) just My honest opinion.
Thanks for your thoughts...I hope it will make my search for a family dog simplier. Yours looks very well behaved and I hope to take mine to obedience school also...if not for the dog, then just for me.. :-)
of course not, your dog is only 2, thats stil very young. my girl is 5 now and is still learning new stuff. That saying about old dogs and new tricks is not true at all. you can train a dog at any age. its just takes a bit longer for stuff to sink in when they are old, but your guy is still a baby. he'ss putty in your hands! teach him all kinds of good stuff!
Hi, I like your Doby, pretty, she,s loyal, I have a female too, She is under "Kandy the Doberman" Check it when you have a chance. Where is your Doby from? Mine use to be very pushy, and took a lot to get her past that. My other female was just the oppisite. How about yours?
Verbal training is how we trained my Doberman she was great.. loved to play games and loved to make you happy. i agree with you with treats at pup age and verbal all after.. Everyone thinks that my dog is some kind of killer when in reality its better behaved then all the small gods that get away with murder.
yeah, they are amazing dogs thats for sure, but in the same breath aren't for everyone. They need a job in life be it obedience to K9 sports, they are MUCH better companions with proper training. they love to please thier owners.
I wont argue with someone who believes there is only one way to train every dog. I wont argue when the proof is in the pudding. I wont argue when what I have done for my, and a number of other dogs has made them good family members, good K9 citizens and happy companions. I'll remind you to read my first post about where and when I train with treats and I'll thank you to stop posting now.
tone of voice and body languare are far more effective in training, regardless of age. if you say verbal praise is 20x more effective then food, why not use it since puppyhood. mothers don't teach pups behaviors by giving them a bunch of junkfood. they show their teach and vocalize. the fact is any dog that has been treat trained has been trained to take food from a persons hand. what if a child has something the dog wants? it's a bad precedent to set for your dog. treat training = bad
there is no "bad" way to train a dog, only what is right for your dog. I can understand your point for protection training or for shutzhund but my dog does just fine with food reward 10% of the time. She would NEVER take food from anyone else unless I allow it. She is certified to go into hospitals and old age homes. 90% of the time, she works for my verbal praise. There's nothing bad about food reward when the time ot the dog is right.
in addition: I would never advocate using treats for obedience. Simply because voice praise is 20 X's more effective and reliable than food when your in a sticky situation like needing you dog to recall immediately or something else equally as important. My dog works for me because she thrives on my verbal praise for the most part.
There are only two situations I use treats to train. For tricks, and for obedience only when they are pups and don't have a clue what your asking of them. Reason is, you can't correct for fun stuff, and you cant correct for stuff the dog doesn't know. Once obedience is solid, treats are eliminated.
oh yeah 3 nights per week every week for 3 years straight. Now we only go once a week. Thats for obedience anyway, the tricks and stuff I do with her are all stuff I just do for fun at home. people love it and it helps people get past her breed when they meet her.
but yes...lots of time and lot of patience. they are VERy fast VERY intenst and very eager to please if you use the right training methods.
I want this video on my MY C-5w unit.

foxgirl26 2 years ago
@foxgirl26
It's perfectly O.K. to do a pivot heel. All retrievers do it that way, and in Rally Obedience you can 'finish' the dog to heel either left or right.
I have a Lab that works hunting retriever and obedience as well as agility. She will finish either way and heel on the left or the right.
And if you're not competing, who cares? Long as she heels!
Your girl is really alert and focussed, by the way. Have you thought about agility?

in addition: I would never advocate using treats for obedience. Simply because voice praise is 20 X's more effective and reliable than food when your in a sticky situation like needing you dog to recall immediately or something else equally as important. My dog works for me because she thrives on my verbal praise for the most part.

There are only two situations I use treats to train. For tricks, and for obedience only when they are pups and don't have a clue what your asking of them. Reason is, you can't correct for fun stuff, and you cant correct for stuff the dog doesn't know. Once obedience is solid, treats are eliminated.

oh yeah 3 nights per week every week for 3 years straight. Now we only go once a week. Thats for obedience anyway, the tricks and stuff I do with her are all stuff I just do for fun at home. people love it and it helps people get past her breed when they meet her.
but yes...lots of time and lot of patience. they are VERy fast VERY intenst and very eager to please if you use the right training methods.
