Where can we find out about the Doberman course?

I have fostered or saved 12 Dobermans over the past 20 years. 4 of them became our family dogs. I never paid anything except an occasional pound or Rescue fee. They have all been magnificent ambassadors for the breed. I lost 2 of my own to DCM. My first rescue Kabahr lived to be 14 years old, the last two that passed Chesty and Max (2 weeks ago) passed from DCM. It’s heartbreaking to lose them- but the happiness, loyalty,and joy they bring when they are with us, rivals everything else.

love this dogs decause of you

I really think it has to do with individually. Pups from the same exact litter all have different personalities. My Lucy gets to go hang out with all her direct siblings every once in awhile and even though they are German Shepherds they are all so different. I'll bet some of Arlo's siblings are similar to Cooper as some of Coopers siblings are similar to Arlo. It's the reason why there are dominant pups in a litter and runts. Personalities on a deeper genetic level.

Kinda like it is genetically impossible to be lactose intolerant if you’re blue eyed

Excellent Channel!! Having been a Doberman-only owner for many decades, I can relate to so much of your advice and observations. Like you, I believe they are THE most perfect canine companion, but certainly not a breed for everyone. Thank you for the wonderful tips and enthusiasm. I had noticed a few of your videos, but never really took the time to watch or dig deeper. Now that I have, I'm damn impressed. THANK YOU for your time and efforts and dedication to this breed. My current 5 year old female has become terribly reactionary to other dogs. But I'm to blame since I watched it happening but had been too lazy/busy to deal with it. Now it has become a serious issue. When this video popped up, I thought "What the hell- let's see if he can provide some energy and maybe some new techniques". Thanks to you, I have become focused again to work with my otherwise well mannered Dobie. She's a rescue, and it's been a challenge from the beginning. She was fine with other dogs when younger- but VERY reactionary to human strangers. I spent so much effort fixing that, that I missed the aggression shift to other dogs. She's fine with people now and slowly warming up to other dogs over the past week now that I'm working with her again. Daily CONSISTENCY is the key, that, and end every training session on a positive note. Just a sidebar- what got her into this dog aggression, was the neighbors walking their dogs in the neighborhood. While it's nice to see people out walking their pets, but they tend to stop in front of my house, which naturally has dog scent, and let their dogs do their business! My dogs see this from the window and you can guess how this ramps up! I've tried speaking with them, but I get the usual: Well, if your dog wasn't so aggressive... etc. Yep- always MY dog and MY fault... yet twice now their little yapper dog has bit my shoe/pants leg while I'm speaking calmly to them. Oh well, I've been around enough dogs (and reactionary owners) that I just brush this off and remain calm. To make matters worse, since they know my dogs name- they actually yell it when my dogs bark. Argh!! Whatever happened to common sense?! Anyhow- thanks for your videos, you have help to renew the effort/enthusiasm on my part. You reminded me that I'm not alone and simply need to refocus on my best, most loyal friend. JDH (US191)

To help with them not wanting to be alone. Would having another dog be helpful in that situation?

Thank you so much for all your videos I just got two Dobermans 8 weeks I have been bingeing all your videos such great information ❤

I disagree with this. I had both males and females. All of my Dobies followed me everywhere. But my males were better at protectiveness. My females would back down a little at a stranger, my males would stand in front of me. My one male that I got at 2 years old was growling at strangers within 12 hours of being at my home. He backed down a man on drugs that was yelling and cussing at me, and when a man tried to break into my yard one night he ran from the gate to stand in front of me when I came outside, the female stayed at the gate. One night my 2 females allowed someone to come into my yard and steal items. All my Dobies have been loving but my males have always watched over me the best.

Cheyne peppers and they'll dig other holes.

my german shepherd digs holes so they can lie in them. I think it's the hot whether, it's cooler to lay her body in the hole.

2 well known trainers and my Doberman still want walk on a leash. He's over 2 years old and been training him since he was 8 weeks old. I have almost given up.

Hi! Don't know if you will see this comment, but I wanted to address how your videos about hacks are almost always about younger puppies (ages maybe around 3-12 months old) and I am a first-time Dobie owner who came to this account after getting mine. He was 2 years old when I got him, and I had little time to decide if I should adopt him since he was about to be given up to a shelter because his previous owners didn't realize the responsibility. And when I started researching all the stuff I needed to know, I found you. Some things in your videos have really helped me! But I have seen a lot of missed opportunities just talking about stuff to help puppy Dobies only and not older ones. I really think it would be helpful to lots if you know some hacks for older dogs and would make a video on it. Of course, no hate!

Intro was too long ugh...

Good video. I’ve had them since the 70’s. I’ve always had black and rust because of health issues that can go with having diluted colors. Back in the day I don’t remember even seeing reds and definitely not the others. Something you don’t bring up is eye color. Darker colored eyes, almost black, used to be the standard and indicated less dilution. I’ve had American, Euro, male, female, working, show, AKC pup and rescues and I think you’ve pretty much nailed that. The only thing I’d add is that the working dogs or Euros are really fearless. They are not as likely to be concerned with lightning, loud noises or fireworks. I’m an older adult. When I am needing another dog, I’ll likely get a rescue dog, female, American or Euro because I’ll get to meet them first and know what I’m getting. Females seem to be slightly more calm and the females we’ve had are definitely more attached to one person. Our large, intact, euro male can be trusted with all kids and even though he’s intact, he gets along with almost all dogs. Definitely more playful and has tons of energy. That said, we live in a farm so they all get tons of exercise. Just want to add that Dobermans didn’t used to have all the health issues they do today. I’ve been lucky, so far, and no Doberman related health issues. It may be their color plays a role, or exercise, or diet. And maybe just luck. Thanks for all the videos!

What I never get is, people have such a problem cropping dogs ears but have no problem with the idea of cutting a dogs BALLS OFF. I know if the dog had a choice which one he would prefer to keep 😅

That's any dog

Got my first Doberman. He's had free roam about a month now. We'll free roam downstairs and to the backyard. He's doing great. No accidents or destruction yet. I work 12 to 16 hour days sometimes. I do have family or friends come by for an hour in the afternoons just to ease his boredom. But he does amazing. He'll be 6 months in a couple of days

What kind of Dobe is Arlo?

Out of the seven Dobie's that I had during my lifetime, only the first...a female...was protective. The rest were all kissing machines. 🤣🤣

The main reason I didn't think about getting a dog is because of my allergies. I never have issues with animals that don't shed a lot, so knowing that dobermans don't shed a lot makes me so happy. and convinced me to get one at some point.

Whats the bandages on his ears?

Lentils and peas are not good for Dobermans. Do your research.

I got a Doberman named Zeus that runs 10 miles a day. He'd impress anyone if they got to see him. Jumps fences 6 feet ...yes. He's an aristocrat n he knows it. He's amazing.....

My vets have told me its fine to crate while away at work full time. Specifically up to 10 hours for a house trained full grown dog.

My red and my blue Dobie also love each other.

You clearly don’t understand training principles/concepts. Have you ever actually done anything beyond “shake a paw”? Nice shirt, though! #stayinyourlane

Arlo hasn't grown .. push the neutering. Give the vets an income .

There is no health options

It's illegal in India btw

What was the temperament test that you did with the puppies?

My childhood friend owned nothing but Dobermans all his life from childhood to middle 50’s . They are naturally a Watchman guardians.

GOD BLESS SALEM! MISS MY RED DOBERMAN PASSED AWAY YOUNG JUST AT 7 yrs OLD

This is amazing advice! I love Doberman planet! Ii have just started watching your videos and I am so amazed! I am a new Doberman owner, as I've had Rotts and German Shepherds before, but this is my first time having Dobermans... so I am really intrigued and still learning about how to properly train and handle Dobermans. :] This advice is so very helpful and some of the potty training techniques I wouldn't even have thought of. I have two Dobermans, an adult rescue female and a male puppy. The puppy has a huge problem urinating in the house in particular, he's three months old, but he still pees constantly in the house and I really am having trouble potty training him with peeing outside. Does anybody in the comments have any advice that they can give me also? I really am enjoying the channel and am definitely going to try and do these potty training tips, hopefully they help! :] Thank you Doberman Planet for all the advice for this beautiful breed! :]

My favorite thing about my Doberman Lena is that she follows me every where my cat Piper, Lena and my daughter all in tow no matter where I go 😊. As for her anxiety when I’m gone she is never left alone my 12 year old son is home all day with her or my father however she is so bonded to my daughter and I that she kinda just sleeps all day for him but that works out bc he loves to play his games and this is his first dog so her being chill all day has worked out for us but I do feel bad bc I’m pretty sure she is sad im gone.

is it just me or is this guy always high Also very much a narcist complexion

I enjoy ur content..I like the goofy, fun,silly , hella awesome things U cover about Dobs. I will have 1 or more Dobes the rest of my life. I LOVE MY DOG LUVS ME 100% !!!!

It's like your Dobe got a factory reset and everything they knew got erased. Manners, tricks just gone I have a set of canine "commandments". Thou shal not be aggressive about food thou shall not charge the door and others. Two days of firm insistence of following the rules and all was well. Never saw anything like it

Thinking about the Doberman... The herding dogs seem imprinted with the understanding of sheep, cattle etc. My thought was the Doberman is similarly imprinted on humans. They just get Us establishing why the breed is so unique and so capable of communicating/reading the body language of people.

I had a quick question I just got a Doberman puppy she's 3 months old we brought hee home from about a 4 Hour drive in CA. She's home but she's very timid and scared And she cries a lot at night during crate training. I put a leash on her and try to go outside with her and she doesn't want to walk. Is this normal for her to just get adjusted to the new place.

Feminist.

I'm so excited to bring home my first Doberman! Any tips on how to prepare?🐶
