if you want to train your dog to stick to you while chaos going around you like bicycles, runners, cars and etc passing by, you really need to teach your dog to prefer being next to you instead of chasing them. In order to do that, you have to teach your puppy to stay next to you and neglect all the things happening around him in his or her earlier ages. Like, take your dog to walk around the place you live but don't let him to get distracted. Every time he looks away or tries to chase something pull him towards yourself and tell him to stay close if he follows your commands then give a tasty treat. I trained my dog by asking my nephews to run around him and make noise. I started pulling him at first but after a while understand that sticking with you is advantageous. So, make sure you show him or her that he has to stay with you unless you let him go freely, and meanwhile give the puppy good appreciation.
P.S. I just can’t stress how important it is to teach your dog the yes and no command! I daily trained my dog so he can understand what is yes and what is no. Every time i feed my boy i tell him to wait and then once he moves towards it i say no and take back the food.. eventually, he understands it and waits until I fill the bowl and tell him yes to let him know that it is okay to eat now. Same goes with his toys. I toss the toy and tell him to wait and no, he waits and expects me to give him the yes command to go for it. This will help him to understand in the future to stop chasing someone or something if you tell him or her no. Thanks
My pittbull was abused and neglected as a puppy by her original owners and shes fine at dog parks but on leash she goes crazy alot of the time. Any tips to get her to be less protective or chill out more?
Once u said u had a boxer, I instantly foresaw an alternate timeline where this was “Boxer Planet” and Arlo was a boxer. Twas a cursed time....no Doberman Planet....no chad dobermans 😳
I'm looking into getting a doberman and was looking at random videos and found your channel...................... i haven't stopped watching your videos! Your thoroughness has me literally hooked, amazing content!
My dog is adopted, she is a doberman/boxer mix and I can see in her exactly what you're talking about, the intelligence and "velcro" part of a doberman but with the goofiness and hyper personality of a boxer haha weird combination🤷🏻♀️❤️
I am getting my first Doberman in about a month and I am so grateful I found your channel! I've been watching all of your videos over and over again out of excitement and I am so excited to watch my Doberman Remi grow like I am watching Arlo grow lol
I want to thank u for helping my husband. When he was planning on getting a doberman u put his mind at ease and helped give him the knowledge he needed to properly care for and train him. Our doberman is now 5 months and coming along so well. So thank u again for sharing ur love and knowledge of these beautiful majestic dogs...💙💜❤💛
I’m 25 and I’ve been saving money to get a doberman. Well today I put down a deposit on a doberman puppy from a licensed breeder. So excited to start training and playing around with a new friend!
I'm 20 years old and I can firmly say you have convinced me to get a doberman when I get a bit older. Thank you John! Keep doing what you're doing because the information you provide is priceless.
Nice video! It lets your viewers get to know you better as well as learn a thing or two. Once you go Dobie, you never go back! And thanks for the shout out👍❤️
Thank you so much, I'm so glad you enjoyed it! I totally agree. Of course I had to give you a shout out! You're one of my biggest supporters (and for a long time now... back when my channel was MUCH smaller)!
One day ill get a doberman and I just want you to know that you are already a major factor on me and my future dog (whether it be a doberman or not). You already taught me so much on what to expect from what to expect to even giving me the idea on how to groom them. Keep doing the great work!
Finally! Someone who doesn't train with E-collars! :) We moved to Europe from CA and e-collars are banned here. So every time I would look up US Doberman training videos, they'd use an E-collar. Nothing against people who use it but I wanted to make sure that I train and build my relationship with my dogs to where I didn't need one. Plus dobes are so sensitive, it's better to have discipline but motivate with postive methods. Anyway, just wanted to say love all the fun videos and your Doberman Planet website has really helped me in all things dobe.
Thank you CTran... so glad you enjoyed it. I won't say I "never" will recommend an e-collar... but really I feel all other possible avenues should be explored first. Usually when someone feels an e-collar is the only method left to try, they've been lacking somewhere else in training and we can just fix that instead!
Definitely Katherine! Thank you so much for taking a minute to ask your question. I hope I provided something useful in that answer! :-) And thank you... we sure do still miss Cooper of course but Arlo is great in his own way!
Nice video. Been watching you for some time now. I have a 7 year old dobe named Magellan. He's my pic. His grandfather won the Westminster 2007 best of breed. One thing that I don't hear much about and that you might be aware of is that some dobes run into foreign object ingestion. Unfortunately this can be fatal and repetitive if they are lucky to survive. Magellan has had multiple surgeries due to this. Also I highly recommend that dobe owners get pet insurance. Feel free to reach out and keep the videos coming. All the best!
Showed the bf your vids so we could both educate ourselves more on the breed. He is warming up to a dobbie puppy 🥰 thank you for the useful informations. I subscribed and looking forward to more.
Hey John, hands down your channel is the BEST on UA-cam about Dobermanns. My family and I are thinking about getting a Dobermann and you are providing such a wealth of valuable information! Thank you so much!
Oh man! So many great questions/answers! Guinness and Arlo have some things in common. Guinness loves his Jolly Ball too (and his Kong Wubba). Guinness and I are avid runners and use the Sport Dog brand e-collar when out for a run, and have for practically all of his 8 years. It has a beep, vibrate, and a shock. And I have only ONCE in 8 years used the shock (long story short, he distractedly ran into a busy intersection). I get a lot of comments about how good he is off leash, but I don't think most people realize it is NOT A FIX, not for pulling and certainly not for ignoring you when you call and that it took A TON of work and patience to get to the point where I feel 100% comfortable taking him down our People Trail, which can be pretty busy, off leash. It is a safety net, for Guinness and for the other people utilizing the trail. Before I ever put the wireless collar on, Guinness was a gentleman on leash. He does not pull. When I stop, he stops. When I say 'come' he comes, 'here' and he heels. I agree, your pooch should be dialed in before taking him in public off leash. I very, very seldom even have to use the even the 'beep' on the wireless collar. Even when he sees something small and fluffy that he REALLY wants to chase, a firm 'leave it' will have him refocusing back on our run. Even though I use the wireless collar, I also don't recommend it. At least not for just anyone. And, I as said, I don't believe it should be used as a fix. If your Dobe isn't coming when called, there are other things that need to be worked on. A trigger happy beeper finger can quite literally ruin a dog just as easily as protect him.
Hii John,, I have been watching ur videos from a year now it is very very informative .. My Dobie is 4month old it's fantastic .... Will u do a video on natural ear taping
E-collars don't really shock from what I've seen. That_Enzo_And_Lotus guy said, "It's more like when you go to the chiropractor." I would use it because even though the dog is fully trained the dog will always have a trigger and if something hits that trigger and they run off and don't come when called you can quickly press the button for the collar. It doesn't shock. Awesome video can't wait for more.
Hi! I love your videos...... I’m getting my first Doberman and super excited but we have a 3 year old cat, do you have any advice on the first introduction?
Thank you so much for your dedication to the Doberman breed, I've always wanted a Doberman since I was a kid. My wife and I have always owned Dachshunds and we finally decided to get a Doberman, I started researching the breed and your videos were so helpful. We watched them to make sure the breed was right for us, and so in February we adopted our Bree from a rescue in Dallas your videos have been indispensable for training. We have a well behaved and wonderful Doberman that gets along with her Dachshund brother and sister. Again thank you so much for everything you do for this wonderful breed.
Hi John, thank you for all your videos on tricks, tips, and info on Dobermans. Me and my boyfriend just got a dobie pup a month ago and we watched all your videos before getting him. It helped us so much and they are really amazing dogs! With our pup Bruce there's this brand of treats that really gets him interested and he'll do anything for those treats specially. The brand's name is "Full Moon" and we've tried the chicken nuggets and the chicken jerky. We break them down to little pieces and they work wonders in teaching Bruce new tricks.
Thank you! So glad you enjoyed it. I really liked the Q&A also and am certainly already planning another one. There were a lot of questions I didn't get to so I will be putting them in an upcoming Q&A vid for sure!
I wish I could just find a good breeder that actually responds to emails. Since my old breeder has gone MIA and was one of the top in country i've had to move on and contact other breeders but having a real tough time getting any sort of communication going. Brutal
Exactly what Suzanne said... and start picking up the phone and calling too. Introduce yourself on the phone and be friendly with them. Ask questions about their breeding and be interested in them. They have such a high demand for their pups right now you really have to play a bit of a social game and get them to like you to get in with them. I hate saying it but it's the nature of the beast at the moment.
I just got my first doberman because of your videos! Been loving the breed my whole life. Thank you for helping me choose the European Doberman. God bless you and I love your videos
Been obsessing over your videos for months because I'm getting a dobe!!!! He's 3 weeks old now so not long to go!! Thanks for the GREAT channel and info
I want a Doberman so badly but my aunt won't let me get one. She still thinks Dobermans are the stereotypical vicious junkyard dogs. I hope one day soon I can get a Dobe for myself. i love this channel for teaching me so much for a future companion
My father in law told my husband dobermans turn on their owners last night. Our Sasha is just over 3 months, I was horrified he could say such a thing as I'm with her 24/7 and we learn together everyday. I shared dobermanplanets page about this topic and told my husband to read it as his attitude towards her changed over night. 😤😡😡😡🤬
So sorry to hear that. Yes, a lot of people believe that because of how they're portrayed in movies and television. And to be fair, there were many "junk yard" type owners in the 70's who used owned these dogs. But things have certainly changed and the Doberman truly is one of the most loyal, dedicated, and loving dogs around. Good luck convincing your Aunt! Send her to some of my videos to see Arlo!
Thanks for your videos! The first dog that I had - I was 6 year old - was a doberman. Unfortunately he died at 8 and after him I could not have other dogs, only cats, due to condominium rules. Now I’m thinking of getting another doberman and the information on your channel are really helping me to prepare. I’m from Italy and I appreciated your comparison of American and European particularly about cropping ears.
Over the years I have had three donors for myself and I bread my pair and sold over 50 puppies from that pair. But they were just so amazing that when my donor dies I will get another because my female is totally in sync with me and my life and is right by my side 24/7/365
Oh Kaiser is a 105 lb European Red Doberman and has natural ears and cropped tail. My personal reasons? It can be painful to the dog and most people don't know he's a Doberman. So when I take him down to the track at hours when others are there? They think he's a "Very Big Muscular Lab" lol!
Glad I found your channel! I'm looking to get into the dobermann family. I've had several dogs in life most recently my last 3 dogs were American pit bulls and staffordshire terriers which are awesome dogs! But when I was a kid with my family looking for a dog I fell in love with a doberman and my dad was down to get this beautiful dog but my mother didn't want a big dog sooooo happy wife happy life and I ended up with a Long haired dachshund mixed with a basset hound And he was an amazing dog But I never got to scratch that doberman itch and I think it's about time that I did. So your videos are awesome and I appreciate the content!
Thanks for choosing the no cropped ears question👏🏻👏🏻we choose not to as we saw our females litter mates have theirs done. One died from infection she contracted after surgery and her brothers ears would not stand after many attempts.
Thank you soo much for all the info you have given, time you have spent; n pure love you have for the breed. I came across you after doing some research, my husband has been wanting a Doberman forever. We were able to find a great breeder n we found our boy Reno! Thank you, I will always refer to your videos for help! Seriously, every step.. Thank you!! Great job!!
Same I’m trying to look for treats that work on my Doberman so far zukes mini naturals treats are working very well she gets very motivated with those treats
I like the pupperoni treats for training. They are like beef jerky sticks for dogs. Not greasy and I just cut them into smaller bite size pieces. And can cut them bigger as the dog grows if needed.
Totally agree! Arlo has worked his way (finally) through the handle of our Jolly Ball. But it sure took him a VERY long time so I'm still very happy with it. He loves it.
Thanks so much for answering my question and thank you for sharing what you have learned about our favorite dog breed. Please keep it up, you're awesome!! Happy International Dog Day 🐾♥️ Laura Read
Could you do a video about adopting a doberman from a rescue? I have never gotten a dog from a breeder but I would love to have a doberman because they are amazing dogs! I'm curious about pros, cons, training, adopting an older dog, etc.
We adopted our Doberman from a rescue in Dallas, no regrets if you do decide to adopt one just carefully read the dog's bio make sure it's a good fit for your home. Especially if you have other dogs, cats, or children, our Doberman was a perfect match and we haven't had any problems thanks to these videos, good luck!
I have 2 blue dobies. 1 (1yr 7mo) male who is blue on blue, he dont have the rust markings n 1 (2yr 8mo) female who is blue n rust. Im so glad I found ur channel. Iv learn quiet a bit watching. I find that my male sticks 2 me more than my female. So much so that he tends 2 get jealous. He also hates 4 any of the other dogs 2 sit n my lap 🙄 My female tends 2 stick 2 both my husband n I. Neither have their ears cropped. My husband says he wished he'd had them done. Of course its 2 late now. The 2 r so very different yet alot alike. I dont have a specific breed I lean toward more. Im an all kind of dogs person 😊 Along with the 2 dobies I have a boxer, beagle, pomeranian, n fiest/beagle. mix. Keep doing the Q&A videos, they r quiet helpful. Thanks 4 helping us along the way. B safe.
Thank you so much for your education about Doberman. I came out of cancer fighting and I am in remission and I want to get a Doberman dog. But I live in France and do not know where to get a family Doberman dog breeder. Can you help me John?
Best treat I've used is stew meat/flank steak bought on sale . I trim excess fat and then dehydrate making little fresh jerky treats. My dobie (that we sadly lost to heart failure) , our rescue mutt, and our rescue pit LOVE them. Only use as a special treat for training.
John, LOVE the channel so much; can't wait to move out of my apt and into a house, so a Dobe can come into my life. In regards to Dawn Gilman's question re: e-collar training and your response. I would like to refer you both (and other viewers) to Thomas Davis' FB channel (Upstate Canine Academy); I find it very educational, training-wise. A very recent video, "How I Safely Train my Dogs Completely Off-leash," pretty well covers this topic. Another training collar Tom incorporates is the Herm Sprenger Prong collar. He emphasis the importance of using ANY training aide correctly. I hope this referral is helpful. Y'all Be Safe!
I'm a new subscriber and I love you channel. I am interested in getting two Doberman puppies to add to my family and you have been very informative. Just a video idea maybe one of who you are and your background would be interesting. Love the videos. Keep up the great work.
Getting our first Dobie as a family (I jad one whem I was 3-4). He will be a 100% Euro pup from Romania...cannot wait and thx for all the great info. Just purchased the puppy and training books by the Monks of New Skete...other recommendations?
Have you ever thought about Doberman Planet 🌎 merch? Some hats or shirts would be pretty awesome!
That s a good idea
I agree
I would purchase one.
I'd definitely buy Doberman Planet merchandise
Agreed
if you want to train your dog to stick to you while chaos going around you like bicycles, runners, cars and etc passing by, you really need to teach your dog to prefer being next to you instead of chasing them. In order to do that, you have to teach your puppy to stay next to you and neglect all the things happening around him in his or her earlier ages. Like, take your dog to walk around the place you live but don't let him to get distracted. Every time he looks away or tries to chase something pull him towards yourself and tell him to stay close if he follows your commands then give a tasty treat. I trained my dog by asking my nephews to run around him and make noise. I started pulling him at first but after a while understand that sticking with you is advantageous. So, make sure you show him or her that he has to stay with you unless you let him go freely, and meanwhile give the puppy good appreciation.

This will help him to understand in the future to stop chasing someone or something if you tell him or her no. Thanks
My pittbull was abused and neglected as a puppy by her original owners and shes fine at dog parks but on leash she goes crazy alot of the time. Any tips to get her to be less protective or chill out more?
You need to be very dominant with these kind of breads! Not a dog for everyone.This need to be said!
Once u said u had a boxer, I instantly foresaw an alternate timeline where this was “Boxer Planet” and Arlo was a boxer. Twas a cursed time....no Doberman Planet....no chad dobermans 😳
I'm looking into getting a doberman and was looking at random videos and found your channel...................... i haven't stopped watching your videos! Your thoroughness has me literally hooked, amazing content!

Thank you so much, I'm really glad you are enjoying the videos Alex! Congrats on your soon-to-be new family member. So exciting!
Dobermans are just a incredibly awesome breed. So glad I got mine. Great job.
Totally agree... glad you enjoyed the vid Alpha. Love your support... had to give you a shout out in this video and say thanks!
Where did y get your Doberman
@@norakateb6234 from a German Breeder in Illinois
@@alphadog5996 do they do shipping if so what is there website called
@@norakateb6234 I'm afraid he doesn't ship his dogs.
16:58 he could have told his Doberman"If you run,
I'll make you bun"
This is the best way😂
I want to thank u for helping my husband. When he was planning on getting a doberman u put his mind at ease and helped give him the knowledge he needed to properly care for and train him.

The best ever channel to provide the information about Doberman. I m a Doberman lover since childhood. Love your work.
Thank you so much! That really means so much to hear. Don't be a stranger in the comments! :-)
One day ill get a doberman and I just want you to know that you are already a major factor on me and my future dog (whether it be a doberman or not). You already taught me so much on what to expect from what to expect to even giving me the idea on how to groom them. Keep doing the great work!

@@DobermanPlanet I love Arlo just as much as Cooper. He is an amazing dog. Yes you did answer my questions all completely. thank you.
My doberman loves organic string cheese for a training treat but i don’t use it all the time cuz it gives him bad smelling gas lol
Thanks for this video it really shows that you care about the community.
Absolutely! Thanks Weston for taking a minute to drop this comment, really means a lot! Love having you here.

you had me at “my subbies”
Getting my first Doberman today very excited but nervous 😬
I adopted a doberman yesterday..from a high kill shelter
Training treats: cooked bison, very motivating. You can vary the size of treat from a small to large reward. Doesn’t upset tummy and is great protein.
Please make videos on:
Attack training
Bite training
Weight pulling(Is it right for a healthy Doberman)
Thank you.
Have a great day

My Parents just gifted me a EuroAm Doberman:)))yesterday
I really liked this Q&A video; I had that same question about the unique ear cropping method you used on Arlo, so this was very helpful.
So glad you found it helpful! I plan to make more Q&A videos in the future.
Hi! I love your videos...... I’m getting my first Doberman and super excited but we have a 3 year old cat, do you have any advice on the first introduction?
Same here. We may be getting a Doberman this weekend. We have a chihuahua and a cat. Any advice is super helpful.

I want a Doberman so badly but my aunt won't let me get one. She still thinks Dobermans are the stereotypical vicious junkyard dogs. I hope one day soon I can get a Dobe for myself. i love this channel for teaching me so much for a future companion
My father in law told my husband dobermans turn on their owners last night. Our Sasha is just over 3 months, I was horrified he could say such a thing as I'm with her 24/7 and we learn together everyday. I shared dobermanplanets page about this topic and told my husband to read it as his attitude towards her changed over night. 😤😡😡😡🤬
So sorry to hear that. Yes, a lot of people believe that because of how they're portrayed in movies and television. And to be fair, there were many "junk yard" type owners in the 70's who used owned these dogs. But things have certainly changed and the Doberman truly is one of the most loyal, dedicated, and loving dogs around. Good luck convincing your Aunt! Send her to some of my videos to see Arlo!
Thanks for your videos! The first dog that I had - I was 6 year old - was a doberman. Unfortunately he died at 8 and after him I could not have other dogs, only cats, due to condominium rules. Now I’m thinking of getting another doberman and the information on your channel are really helping me to prepare. I’m from Italy and I appreciated your comparison of American and European particularly about cropping ears.
HI JOHN!
I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS SO MUCH!
GREAT CHANNEL,GREAT INFOS!
THANK YOU SOOO MUCH!!!
REGARDS FROM BAVARIA,
GERMANY!
HAVE A NICE DAY!👍👏👌🙋♀️🙋♀️
Pill pockets are my dogs favorite treat. I also love them because I can pinch off a small bit or larger piece, pending on how I want to reward her.
Over the years I have had three donors for myself and I bread my pair and sold over 50 puppies from that pair. But they were just so amazing that when my donor dies I will get another because my female is totally in sync with me and my life and is right by my side 24/7/365
I love you man keep going
Thank you so much! Back at you!
Oh Kaiser is a 105 lb European Red Doberman and has natural ears and cropped tail.
My personal reasons? It can be painful to the dog and most people don't know he's a Doberman. So when I take him down to the track at hours when others are there? They think he's a "Very Big Muscular Lab" lol!
Glad I found your channel! I'm looking to get into the dobermann family. I've had several dogs in life most recently my last 3 dogs were American pit bulls and staffordshire terriers which are awesome dogs! But when I was a kid with my family looking for a dog I fell in love with a doberman and my dad was down to get this beautiful dog but my mother didn't want a big dog sooooo happy wife happy life and I ended up with a Long haired dachshund mixed with a basset hound And he was an amazing dog But I never got to scratch that doberman itch and I think it's about time that I did. So your videos are awesome and I appreciate the content!
at least I can say i was here before he hits 100k or even better 1mil can't wait to see him grow
Thanks for choosing the no cropped ears question👏🏻👏🏻we choose not to as we saw our females litter mates have theirs done. One died from infection she contracted after surgery and her brothers ears would not stand after many attempts.
Thank you soo much for all the info you have given, time you have spent; n pure love you have for the breed.
I came across you after doing some research, my husband has been wanting a Doberman forever.
We were able to find a great breeder n we found our boy Reno!
Thank you, I will always refer to your videos for help!
Seriously, every step.. Thank you!!
Great job!!
Thank you for all the you do for the Dobermann breed! You've certainly helped us out on our journey with our 13 week old Red and Rust puppy, Hazel!
Great video 👌. I'm learning so much 👍
We love u dood ur awesome
Thanks Valentina!!!
The end was hilarious
Great Channel!
Same I’m trying to look for treats that work on my Doberman so far zukes mini naturals treats are working very well she gets very motivated with those treats
I like the pupperoni treats for training. They are like beef jerky sticks for dogs. Not greasy and I just cut them into smaller bite size pieces. And can cut them bigger as the dog grows if needed.
Okay have a great day
I love your videos 🤩🤩
Practical and informative. Here's a tip: don't let the baby lick the electric sockets so that Arlo doesn't have to rescue you from bad parenting
OMG - the JOLLY BALL - Lucy LOVES her JOLLY BALL !!! It’s super durable and GREAT for chewers !!! I recommend it, highly!!
Totally agree! Arlo has worked his way (finally) through the handle of our Jolly Ball. But it sure took him a VERY long time so I'm still very happy with it. He loves it.
Keep it up boss! These will be priceless for so many future dog owners, Doberman and all !
Thanks so much for answering my question and thank you for sharing what you have learned about our favorite dog breed. Please keep it up, you're awesome!! Happy International Dog Day 🐾♥️
Laura Read
That's a really awesome video..great work
Love to Arlo..he is such a handsome fellow
Could you do a video about adopting a doberman from a rescue? I have never gotten a dog from a breeder but I would love to have a doberman because they are amazing dogs! I'm curious about pros, cons, training, adopting an older dog, etc.
We adopted our Doberman from a rescue in Dallas, no regrets if you do decide to adopt one just carefully read the dog's bio make sure it's a good fit for your home. Especially if you have other dogs, cats, or children, our Doberman was a perfect match and we haven't had any problems thanks to these videos, good luck!
I have 2 blue dobies. 1 (1yr 7mo) male who is blue on blue, he dont have the rust markings n 1 (2yr 8mo) female who is blue n rust. Im so glad I found ur channel. Iv learn quiet a bit watching. I find that my male sticks 2 me more than my female. So much so that he tends 2 get jealous. He also hates 4 any of the other dogs 2 sit n my lap 🙄 My female tends 2 stick 2 both my husband n I. Neither have their ears cropped. My husband says he wished he'd had them done. Of course its 2 late now. The 2 r so very different yet alot alike. I dont have a specific breed I lean toward more. Im an all kind of dogs person 😊 Along with the 2 dobies I have a boxer, beagle, pomeranian, n fiest/beagle. mix. Keep doing the Q&A videos, they r quiet helpful. Thanks 4 helping us along the way. B safe.
love your content
Love your videos man! You're literally the reason I'm getting a Dobie when I finish my studies :D You're The Doberman dad
Haha thank you so much Chapo! So glad you are enjoying the vids!
Thank you so much for your education about Doberman. I came out of cancer fighting and I am in remission and I want to get a Doberman dog. But I live in France and do not know where to get a family Doberman dog breeder. Can you help me John?
i got a dobie pup this morning and your videos are really helping me out!
Congrats evrblaze! That's so great! I'm really glad you found my videos helpful!
Love your channel...I have a 3 year old fawn Dobi and I’ve learned so much here. Thanks for sharing!
We have a dog park in our community and he loves it hell drive us crazy if we can't take him due to the weather
That is one healthy dog. I love this breed. I will not crop my dobbie's ears ever!
Thanks for sharing info
Best treat I've used is stew meat/flank steak bought on sale . I trim excess fat and then dehydrate making little fresh jerky treats. My dobie (that we sadly lost to heart failure) , our rescue mutt, and our rescue pit LOVE them. Only use as a special treat for training.
John, LOVE the channel so much; can't wait to move out of my apt and into a house, so a Dobe can come into my life.
In regards to Dawn Gilman's question re: e-collar training and your response. I would like to refer you both (and other viewers) to Thomas Davis' FB channel (Upstate Canine Academy); I find it very educational, training-wise. A very recent video, "How I Safely Train my Dogs Completely Off-leash," pretty well covers this topic. Another training collar Tom incorporates is the Herm Sprenger Prong collar. He emphasis the importance of using ANY training aide correctly. I hope this referral is helpful.
Y'all Be Safe!
Thanks for the tip Ray! I'll have to check that out!
Love your positivity!
Thank you!!!
I'm a new subscriber and I love you channel. I am interested in getting two Doberman puppies to add to my family and you have been very informative. Just a video idea maybe one of who you are and your background would be interesting. Love the videos. Keep up the great work.
Getting our first Dobie as a family (I jad one whem I was 3-4). He will be a 100% Euro pup from Romania...cannot wait and thx for all the great info. Just purchased the puppy and training books by the Monks of New Skete...other recommendations?
