Thanks so much for noticing! We've got a great video editor on staff and she does a great job. Let us know how the luring works out for you and your Dobie!
Because of your channel, I bought a Doberman in 2022 ,and love Archer so much. I reference your training guides and they have helped out in guiding him to a healthy and safe set of behaviors. Watching how you train both the Dobermans and the owners is why I refer others to your channel. Thanks!
I've really enjoyed these training vids with Art and Cleopatra, it's great to see an owner be very invested in learning the best ways to deal with behavioral issues, and not get frustrated and give up 😊 Poor Art must've almost had a heart attack when he came out to find her gone, I know I would! So glad him getting her to chase him back home worked!
I apologize upfront for maybe having a little too perfect picture in mind due to training a working Doberman for competition (and it might not matter to the pet owner) but I would like to point out a few things just in case someone is interested. Luring is a great tool but ideally, you want to build the drive in the dog first before trying to teach behaviors. You want the dog to push into your hand with his nose. First, it is a good idea to practice luring without the dog to get the technique down. There is a little more to it than just having the dog follow the treat. You may want to look up how some professional trainers teach technique and treat position (for example Michael Ellis). For the competition style heeling, the right shoulder of the dog should align with the left knee of the handler with the head up. The hand position for luring needs to be in line with that. You generally start with a stationary heel position. If you're just looking for a casual leash walk heel, of course, it doesn't really matter. Just keep in mind, if there's a chance you might want to go into sports later, it will be 10x harder to re-train it. Personally, I use different commands for competition heeling vs. casual heeling or even right-side heeling. Another thing on the markers: in past episodes, the YES marker was used as a release command. In this one, it was more like an "I like what you're doing, keep going." marker. Make sure to stay consistent with your markers. I also suggest using your release marker only once and then reward (means YES instead of YES-YES-YES). You could say YES and then praise the dog with other words to let them know they did something exceptionally well. A big YES to Arthur for figuring out what to do if the dog doesn't want to come with the recall. You always want to run in the opposite direction. If you chase the dog, it's just a game for them.
Great mechanics - treats on the side you want the dog, stepping off with the foot closest to the dog when you want them to go with you, stepping off with the foot furthest from the dog when you want them to wait (recall) or stay (dog is safe, nothing bad is going to happen to the dog, will come back to the dog BEFORE giving the release word). I like saving their name for moving exercises too. Awesome!

5:01 Seeing a Doberman, especially an adolescent, cabled unattended within short, plastic portable panel fencing in a public area gives me so much anxiety. I'm glad her owner was able to catch her when she bolted. Cleo is making progress in her training, though.
This is off topic .... looking for some advice... we are setting up a ball pit for our Doberman pup and would like your opinion... is a 2.3 inch ball diameter safe for the pup?
Hello John, we owned 2 rescued Dobermans who passed away and we are getting a puppy by end November. I used to mountain bike with my previous Dobermans, taking them on long rides. How soon can i hike and mountain bike with my puppy Doberman?
Hey, what's going on, brother John? I see that 👀 you're making sure that Arthur is doing right by his dog (Cleoptra) But anyways, God bless you, brother John and your awesome family, and 🙏🔥✨️🫗✝️🪽
Has anybody an idea of how to lure a liittle dog? I have a sore back and cannot walk bent down for a longer period. And another question: What are those white ear adornments I see now and then ?😀
We use an empty dish across the room to practice - even in classes. The dish represents anything the dog wants. You're just doing 180 degree about turns until you can get to the dish on a loose leash. One good with an empty dish, add a few treats or some of their meal. Add distractions - cat or another dog in the room - can they still do it with kids around? Take the exercise from the house to the back yard. Progress at the dog's pace. If they're not good in the house, they're not ready for the back yard or the driveway, let alone the street. Hope that helps.
Dollar tree also has extendable items - back scratcher - just watch the eyes with the prongs. There's also a really long pressed rawhide - totally digestible, breaks off anywhere you want - dip in cream cheese or wet dog food (again watch their eyes that you're not poking them while you're walking) they only get to lick when they're right where you want them - your hip even with their shoulders. Hope that helps.
Smart thinking with the race you home. I teach my Dobes a home cue. No porn yeses please. ONE Yes pause treat. If you Yes it, you have to treat it. Good job, super, thanks for checking in if you don't have treats on you. The Yes marks the exact moment you want more of whatever you yesed. Just like a click if using a clicker, so be careful what you're yesing or clicking. Whatever gets rewarded and reinforced, gets repeated. What does the dog think is reinforcing? If you're not acknowledging what you do like or want, sometimes they are bad in order to be good. Negative attention is better than none at all. Like Chirag Patel says, when they're good or doing something you like - whether you asked for it or not - don't keep it a secret - let them know. Hope that helps
Great progress!! Way to go Art and Cleopatra! Doberman Planet is Amazing!
Thanks so much, Segra! Certainly appreciate the kind feedback!
Way to go Cleo! She is doing great!
She sure is a fast learner and is making great progress!
Great content and crisp editing too. I am definitely going to try this with my Doberman. Thanks for this video.

Wow! What a wonderful thing to say. Your comment is much appreciated and heart-felt. It's great to know that others are benefiting from these videos!

Yes, he is very invested. They are learning a lot of tips and tricks together!
Just excellent. Bravo for your work
Thanks so much for your kind words, Cathy!

Thanks so much for your keen eye and attention to detail, Robin!
👏👏👏
Love it, I want a dobbie but scared a bit, so your videos are really helping😊
They are wonderful dogs, but we may be a bit biased! ;) But for real -- the more you watch, the less scared you will be!
You need to start selling your Doberman Planet shirts!! I'd love one!
Thank you! Great idea to look into!

Hi... Please do a video about the pressure spot wounds.
5:01 Seeing a Doberman, especially an adolescent, cabled unattended within short, plastic portable panel fencing in a public area gives me so much anxiety. I'm glad her owner was able to catch her when she bolted. Cleo is making progress in her training, though.

Great video, i don’t see how to download training. It says coming soon
I am not sure if you made a video on this prior but can you make a video on best places to get a doberman online or irl
Great question! Send us an email to support@dobermanplanet.com and we'll be happy to send you some resources that will help!

Yes! He was quick on the draw with that one! Thanks so much for all your input, Robin! It's certainly valuable!
