I really thought it was Impossible to train my 3 month Dobbie puppy but after watching your videos I'm teaching him so many tricks 🥳 Thank You Doberman Planet!
That's great to know! If you ever want another idea on something we haven't yet done a video specifically about, check out our website's training article: www.dobermanplanet.com/how-to-train-a-doberman/. Many have said it's been helpful for them, too!
3 month old? LOL..LOL They are BEGGING for a strong Boss! What a pure Joy ( new Doberman) you have there! Best to you both!!! You now have YEARS of nothing but great friendship/ trust/ and unconditionally love ahead of you!!!!
It has been my experience that when a Doberman gets enough exercise they are less destructive. Lots of dog toys too. My dog definitely has his favorites.
I've lost 19 shoes and 23 sandals I tried so many things but it didn't work but now I'm relieved because I wouldn't be losing anything ( all chewy stuff) because of John. Thank you very much for your useful information collected by hard work. Well my dogs only destroy rugs, carpets, shoes and sandals they don't chew any hard thing thanks for your service again. I wish everyone is alright there. Wish you a good week.
My big Dummy was notorious for eating crotches out of underwear and toes it of socks. Though it was my fault for leaving them out. Was definitely a learning curve with my boy! He was never a chewer of furniture thankfully! Wish I had these videos 12 years ago. With my next Doberman I'll be much better equipped for training thanks to these videos!!
So sorry your Dobie did that! It's a difficult behavior to correct and being proactive (picking them up/not leaving them out) is definitely easier than being reactive and trying to address it later on. Furniture chewers definitely can create more of a problem! Thanks so much for your compliments and for reaching out! Always great to hear from you!
Your training tips are REALLY so HELPFUL!! We have had our 10 week old Dobi puppy for 2 weeks now and we have been using the redirection technique so often and it DOES work. We have been calling it the YES/No game. We tell him no whenever he is chewing something he shouldn't and yes when he takes the acceptable toy we present then give lots of praise for chewing the right thing. So far he has learned to leave the bath matt alone and is working on ignoring shoes....Even with the puppy frustrations we are soooo in love with him and so glad we chose to go with the Doberman breed.
Awesome vid!! I own 2 dobermans, opposite sex, and I CANNOT stress enough of how they chew literally everything. I was losing hope and was thinking that they will chew everything in my house until there's nothing left LOL But thank God this video came in time!! Very informative and easy to understand. Keep it up John!
John I’d watch you every day if you made vids everyday. You are such a positive man. My whole family can’t wait to get our first ever dog and our Dobie soon in a couple of weeks.
Thanks so much, Silvia! Arlo appreciates your compliments of his good looks! ;) Haha. Aren't Dobermans all so sleek looking?! Such great dogs! Regards from the States!
Oh koko behaves awesomely good when left alone, on the contrary he chews on fluffy pillow excitedly when i am at home. I have tough time taking it out from his mouth, so everytime i have to play some trick to tale it out...!
Maybe you could find Koko a soft chew toy similar to the texture of the fluffy pillow? Definitely a hard predicament to be in! Definitely putting it out of reach or keeping the door shut is a good idea, as long as just keeping an eye on him. They can be tricky!
Right On tips in ur video. Always find ur vids informative n interesting. Plus good chance to see cute Arlo. Notice when giving him his toys he is very aware of the other toys around him. Good job Arlo ! Kudos for another excellent vid n anticipating ur next one.
My dog only chews on things when I leave 😒 she isn't left home for too long and it seems she is punishing me for leaving lol I'm retraining her from the bad habits she has I rescued her about 2 months ago it's been going great !! Especially with access to these amazing techniques!! Thank you
@@DobermanPlanet thanks for replying!😁, we getting a Doberman soon and all your videos have been enjoyable and have helped us understand what we need to do for our pup 🐾
Mine started to chew my shoes after I went to work. They have my scent and it's strong. I put them up on shelves. He Chewy on socks I left one the floor. I was more careful and problem solved. I never scolded or shamed him. Later on I'd get home and he`d pull things out of my briefcase and leave something in different rooms. Funny. We made a game out of finding stuff and then played. It was like him telling me what he did that day.
I really hope you read this, you're a hero. and I'm very concerned about a choice I need to make soon. The size and weight of a female doberman is perfect for me but is it so that female dobermans are not very playful and goofy or are they just less playful. Please rate both males and females' playfulness on a scale of 1 - 10. Also I need a dog that is responsible but isnt boring and serious, I really want that puppyish excitment but I also need a dog I can trust to be responsible when needed. Please someone help me .
I was worried about the same thing too, but still ended up going with a girl pup, and let me tell you the playfullness is there alright! And sometimes almost too much to handle! She's 8 months now and is a goofy little gal always ready to play or spend time with me. Also, i have seen that female dobies are easier to train as they tend to be more focused in you than other distractions. So I think you should go with a female without worrying about the puppy energy! One thing though, I think playfulness, being goofy, and being a velcro pup depends more on each pup's personality than it does on gender. So maybe while deciding on your pup from a litter, look for one more interested in you, and the one following you around. I would also look at the Voldhard test (i believe there's a copy on Doberman Planet) for specific traits you want to see for that.
Is that not the point to keep your dog in the crate at least till one year. The working line even till a year and a half. Good stuff to see that Arlo is fully trusted at young age!
My owner does this with me alot when I chew things I'm not supposed too but sometimes he forgets to put my chew toys on the floor so I decided to chew on anything because I get bored!
We just rehomed him and he has a lot of bad chewing habits especially fabric sheets material. And if you try to take it away from him, he will growl at you to protect it. Need some help love the dog would love to keep him, but it is a big challenge because we’re rehoming him. I don’t really know how old he is I imagine a little under two.
Yes! First time dog owners can definitely be successful owning a Doberman, but there are some pitfalls some experience. Check out this video about why first time owners fail to make sure you've got the best chance of success: czcams.com/video/xPjhZUBM_50/video.html. Hope this helps!
We trained Nyx to chew 2 things. At first it was the softer puppy bones and a "stress" ball. Her favourite ball is the dark blue with orange stripe Chuckit. With her adult teeth, she uses naturally shed elk antlers or any peanut butter flavoured nylabone. Soft plushies are only used under supervision...she finds the weakest point in the toy and exploits it to the point of destitution lol 2.5 hours is the longest she's been home without humans. She paces for 10 minutes then gives up and goes and lies down 😁
@@kenhammscousin4716 Whatever the flavour is, our dogs like it. Maybe once their saliva mixes with the nylabone it releases a light flavouring that they can taste???
Thanks for telling us your experience with Nyx and her own chew toys, Joshua! It's great she's had such close supervision - you never know when something could go wrong. Sounds like she's had a lot of good choices for chew toys, too!
John, you're channel has helped me tremendously with my dobey Merida. She's been a trooper. I wanted to ask if you use a virtual vet? We're on the road alot and sometimes it's hard to get to a vets office. In this case she has a minor lip issue, and I just wanted your take on a virtual vet?
I have a two year old rescue male who had zero training. His training is going very well with one exception. He loves to suckle on a blanket any thoughts on stopping this behavior?
Love the video but he never had this problem tankfully and I also had a question. When tell my doberman to do something he thinks for like 5 seconds and then he sits, one of my cousins dogs I tell him and he does it immediately. What can I do to make my dog do it immediately.
Oh wow! That's a ton of money and so unfortunate! So glad you're on the right track now and have some good resources to get you through those chewy tough times!
I’m getting a muzzle for my 1 year old dobie cuz even with enough exercise And bones and toys, he still once in a while chooses to chew something. And doesn’t listen when I speak to him through our camera , so when I work I’m gonna muzzle him 😅 because he listens so well when we’re home. He stays off the couch. He doesn’t destroy. But he only causes trouble when I’m at work. He goes on the couch. And even if I hide everything, he ends up pulling a box out from under the bed, cabinet etc. or goes up and gets something from the table. Since speaking through camera doesn’t work. And only me being home is the only thing that changes I think a muzzle is our only option
How is it to have a European Doberman as a family n a grand dog without ur dog participating in a dog show or whatever Is it important that if u get a European Doberman u should have that dog participate in any dog show???????? Is arlo a working dog ?
May I please ask for tips on when my doberman literally destroys all of the toys ( both hard and soft) that I give him? I have been really working on all of these wonderful tips and tricks to curb his chewing instinct but he destroys his toys in such a short time that I am constantly replacing. I'm talking ripping stuffing out, chewing through supposedly chew proof toys, destroying footballs, baseballs, tennis balls, you name it he has chewed it! I am starting to become concerned with him swallowing things and becoming lodged in his throat or impacted in his intestines. I just feel like I can't keep up! 😭🤣🧡 Any and all advice is greatly appreciated! 🧡🐕🦺🐕🐶🐾
What age did you get your Doberman’s ears cropped? I’m getting a Doberman puppy that’s about 3-4months old and they’re uncropped. I did just get stationed in Korea too so idk if they’ll even do it out here
Here is a video on cropped vs. natural ears: czcams.com/video/GoqrDMQjGpw/video.html and our video on what the process is like: czcams.com/video/9-8ttXTZi6g/video.html. We hope this helps!
Buy lots of bones, always have a bone handy to trade with him or her. My dobe is 8 months and other than 1 pair of shoes and a bunch of useless basement junk she didn't chew up one thing important. But we always had different type of dog bones near by to redirect her attention to and really got on her if she had something important in her mouth (before destroying). But she's been fantastic inside the home, its off property that has been a huge challenge with her I'd say extreme reactivity. To cure that I have actual cooked chicken pieces in a bag in my pocket to redirect her attention away from (other dogs and bikes). Slowly it seems to be working.
I would crate them, and take them out constantly with praises honestly... I had to retrain my Penny took about 3 weeks because she was 10 months old and already used to w.e. also her diet probably was not great.
LOL..LOL.....LOL..LOL...60+ YEARS of Doberman ownership, and just laughed at this video! I've met NEW Doberman owners like this.Whan I SHOWED UP, and their (untrained dominating) Doberman started this kind of crap, I just looked at them with that "REALLY ?!!!" Look on my face, and the STOPPED and turned BACK into a Doberman!
I have 3 Dobes. Two of which chew my couch. I can't stop them, they are so destructive. The 11 yr old is an angel; the 8 yr old chews and rips the couch and the 2 yr old is a complete terrorist, also chews and rips up the couch; steals EVERYTHING, but she's lucky she's so cute. I've tried everything. Any ideas would be helpful. Thanks.
The issue we have is with the TP! The second our backs are turned, lickity split into the bathroom she goes and TP all over!! We no longer keep it on the roller, it’s lives inside the vanity on a shelf... any ideas? PS, Koko is 2 1/2 years old
Great question! Some people with toddlers who unravel the toilet paper have put a hair tie around the roll so that it's much more difficult for it to unravel (but with a Doberman, it's still possible that they could shred it if they worked hard enough). Keeping the door shut is also a good option. Hope this helps!
Oh no! That's even worse because it can cause obstructions and lead to major blockages and surgeries. Lots of $$$ and heartache! Be sure to keep a good eye on your pup, the items picked up, & hopefully that won't ever be a major issue!
Coco likes to steal stuff and put it in her kennel and chew it. Clothes, toys, trash, plastic bottles etc.... Its never her toys or bones, those are for when she is in the living room with the family lol. My other two dobies dont chew on anything

Good topic my friend. I love complimenting you on what a great teacher you are. Guess what it’s my birthday on Tuesday I’ll be 23
Happy early birthday, Peter! We hope you have a wonderful day tomorrow and appreciate your compliments!
Can you do a video on how you posted his ears when he was younger?

We trained Nyx to chew 2 things.
At first it was the softer puppy bones and a "stress" ball. Her favourite ball is the dark blue with orange stripe Chuckit.
With her adult teeth, she uses naturally shed elk antlers or any peanut butter flavoured nylabone.
Soft plushies are only used under supervision...she finds the weakest point in the toy and exploits it to the point of destitution lol
2.5 hours is the longest she's been home without humans. She paces for 10 minutes then gives up and goes and lies down 😁

Oh no! That's even worse because it can cause obstructions and lead to major blockages and surgeries. Lots of $$$ and heartache! Be sure to keep a good eye on your pup, the items picked up, & hopefully that won't ever be a major issue!
Coco likes to steal stuff and put it in her kennel and chew it. Clothes, toys, trash, plastic bottles etc.... Its never her toys or bones, those are for when she is in the living room with the family lol. My other two dobies dont chew on anything
us gingers gotta stick together, we are dying out
Give your dog a raw food diet will stop them from chewing on personal items!
No! NO! ARLOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
