I was not training him in Schutzhund. I was simply training Rustin to show and restrain aggression on my command. Rustin was NOT be tied up like that forever. That was only for two short times. Those times were just the very start of attacking and releasing on my command. During the next time we trained, we used a harness and a leash I held on to. I also had many more video clips of Rustin grabbing a hold of and releasing the bite glove, but I accidentally deleted around two hundred video clips from my computer's hard drive. So as you can tell, I only have one very short one left of him having a hold of the glove, one of him barking aggressively at the decoy on my command, and a two of him resisting the desire to show aggression toward the decoy. We also used the bite glove to focus Rustin's attention more toward the man rather than the equipment, by having the decoy slip the glove and get his attention. I had some videos of that, too, but yes, of course, they got deleted. And there was one video clip I had of the decoy stroking him on the top of his head a few times.

So far up to the time I posted this video, Rustin knows nine commands; sit, floor, let's go, get in the car, get over it, go free, we got trouble, takem', and leave it. Sit is one I hardly use, but he somewhat remembers it. Floor is one I use quite often. It means for him to lay down and remain laying down until I give him the next command. I use let's go for heeling. And also, I don't prefer dogs to sit while heeling, and so Rustin remands standing when I stop. I also use let's go as his recall command as well. Get in the care, of course, means for him to get in the car, LOL. Get over it means for him to jump a hurdle. Go free is for him to do what he wants to, until I give him his next command. We got trouble is a warning command. I use it to warn him of a threat. He is allowed to attack on the command we got trouble, but I use it mainly to focus his attention on the fact that there's a threat out there. After his attention is focused on a threat, I use the command takem'. I use takem' to get him to realize that he MUST attack and defeat the threat the best he can. Leave it is a command I use for him to, of course, leave things alone. This includes stopping his aggression, dropping things from his mouth, and ignoring things.


This is Rustin, my first European Dobermann. He is sired by Eria Pro Grandmaster Flash, and his dam is Ayrin Black Iron Warrior. Therefore, he is from a European show line, instead of a European working line, but I still like him anyway! He may not have the highest defense and fight drive a Dobermann could have, but he's still a great dog. By the way, some people think of European Dobermanns as big, somewhat clumsy, muscular dogs. However, there are those who are even more lightly built than Rustin. Then again, it's possible that Rustin will gain a bit more muscle as he grows. By the way, I do not favor Dobies that are "overly" muscular, nor those that are disproportionate.

Rustin loves going to the dog park. It gives him plenty of room to free run and a whole variety of dogs to socialize with. So far up to the day I've posted this video, he met a Gundog mix, two Great Danes, a Siberian Husky mix, a little chubby brown mix breed, a Great Pyrenees, several Labrador Retrievers and Lab mixes, two Golden Retrievers, some American Pit Bull Terriers, two Greyhounds, a Jack Russell Terrier, several Shepherds and Shepherd mixes, several Chihuahuas, another Dobermann, and many, many, many more. And of course, he also interacts with many different folks at the dog park.

In the video, Rustin also meets a few folks as well. He met one of my aunts (the lady petting him on the porch) and two of my friend's relatives (the two kids). The guy at the door had some chicken left over on him, and of course, Rustin loved the taste of it. The girl loved him so much, she couldn't stop petting him for twenty plus minutes. As far as the decoy goes, well, obviously, Rustin doesn't like him much, LOL. But because I trained and socialized him well, he is able to stand being touched by him. Before I accidentally deleted around two hundred video clips from my hard drive, there was a video of the decoy stroking the top of his head a few times with the bite glove. But in this video, you can still see that the glove was touching the side of his mouth as he withstood the desire to attack it because he was under the command leave it.

Rustin's ears don't stand up that well because he has formed pockets in his ears. The veterinarian told us that it may take quite a while for them to stand properly, but Rustin hates tape on his ears, so for that reason, I've put it off. His ears are fine just the way they are.

  • @m1shadow Glad you enjoy my vids!

  • @DiamondRavenChannel No problem! I like your channel!

  • @m1shadow Agree. And thanks for commenting!

  • Very nice Doberman you have there!! Doberman is an amazing well rounded breed!

  • @DoglaR Thanks for commenting! Haven't talked to you in a while. I'll go look up the brand after I'm done responding to you. By the way, nice videos and if you subscribe to my channel, I'll subscribe back to you. Please subscribe to my channel. How are your Dobermanns doing? I like the slow-motion in your videos.

  • Nice clip. He has grown since the last time I saw him. How is his mass? If you would like to put more weight on him, you can try "Cavom". cavom . nl. The green one. But it is a Dutch brand, so may be expensive to import in the USA. A lot of sporting dogs in Holland are on this diet. Sports like IPO/KNPV etc. Good luck with training.
