  • There are a LOT of pros and cons to owning a breed as unique as a Doberman Pinscher. So this video will lay out everything about owning a Doberman that's most likely to have a real impact on your life. We're not going to just discuss the single traits these dogs possess that might be a benefit or drawback for you, but how each of these traits interacts with their many other qualities to produce very unique behaviors in this breed. So if you're thinking about getting a Doberman for your family and want the quick and dirty real-world rundown on these dogs, then this is the video for you! We'll talk about behaviors, instincts, trainability, intelligence, loyalty, family environments, kids, and so much more. This is a Doberman behavior, deep dive!
    As most Doberman owners know all too well, not every dog product works well for this unique breed. That's why I maintain a list of the best products I've found so far for Dobermans.

    I have been following/watching your videos and channel since the very beginning. You have been a tremendous help to my family to get great insights of the breed. We finally got our first Doberman in Spring from a reputable breeder after waiting for quite some time. It was so worth it!! Hands down. Best dog we have ever owned(as family). He is amazing- super smart, obedient, loving, athletic yet calm and stoic!!:)). I 100% agree with what you have mentioned in this video.

My other dog played along and he became intrigued - now its a daily part of our routine - about 3 times a day we do the shell game and the muffin tin game.

That first dog just KNEW how scared I was and did everything to gain my trust and really became MY dog and I became his human. He was the most kind, intelligent, loyal and wonderful dog. It's my dream to get one myself in the future.

    When I feel financially prepared, I can't wait to own one of these guys! I find that the "intimidating" look of the dobie can be good in some training situations.

    On the topic of aggressive perception... almost every aggressive dog I've ever met was actually a Labrador Retriever that wasn't trained well. My lab was an absolute mess when we first rescued him, but 2 years of intense retraining turned him into the sweetest boy in the park. I've noticed some people get a lab because they assume it will come automatically socialized and trained, and therefor never put in the work to make sure that dog actually DOES behave. It has definitely made me more cautious around canines.

    Well, I didn't have any real choice about my Doberman. He chose me. He was an abandoned dog roaming the countryside and showed up at my house in the country and decided to stay. He was about a year old at the time. So I didn't have any of the puppy concerns to deal with. However, he was completely undisciplined and pretty crazy when he first arrived. If I had not found this channel, I would probably have gotten rid of him. I'm glad I didn't. He's my family now. He's been with me a little over a year now. At least I didn't have to pay $2000 for him. I have no idea what kind of breeder he came from. I can't really say for sure he's a purebred, but definitely looks like one. He's a "red" Dobie (actually chocolate colored).

      If you are athletic &/or like the outdoors, hiking/running, nature trails etc & if you have the time to train & be around a good bit w/ the dog &/or can bring the dog w/ you (traveling sales) & want a true companion- there is no better dog. But they are a lot- I have 2 kids & 2 Dobies, the Dobies are not THAT far off in terms of neediness compared to my human kids lol! But I’ve never experienced the type of real connection w/ an animal- dog or otherwise - that I have w/ my Dobies. They’re so loyal

    Another awesome video. You are absolutely correct when you said the most important thing you can do during that first year is acclimate them to EVERYTHING possible. We started taking our pup for walks at 10 weeks of age. This included walking her at night near a busy four lane street (but not too close) where she got use to seeing headlights, high traffic sounds, motorcycles, bike riders, walkers, etc. We also walked her in the rain. We also took her to stores where we encouraged anyone and everyone to pet her. She accepts dog treats from the cashiers at our local pet stores. She's groomed so strangers touch her feet to clip her nails. She's 18 months old now and we still do all these things (and many other things too). She is perfection.

    Our Dobe Babe didn’t have to be on leash when she went out to go potty. We’d open the door, she’d go do her business and then come right back in. And if we were out in the yard doing yard work, we didn’t even have to have her tied out. She’d stay right in the yard with us. Such a good girl!! She was such a loving and obedient girl! 😊 Definitely want to get another Dobe someday...

    I've had two Doberman's (at different times) as a child. I loved them both. The female named Angel (lol) was a bit more aggressive with people who weren't members of our family. Funny thing...she just KNEW our property line automatically. We lived on an acre and a half. I was always amazed at that, because we never taught her. She just never stepped a foot over the line unless we were taking her somewhere. When I heard you talking about your dog (in this video) I was delighted to learn that was just a normal Doberman trait.
    Our family didn't really know much about Doberman's back then. My older brother just brought her home one day. She was a puppy. Too bad we didn't have the internet (it was 40 plus years ago) or anyone to helpl us with training tips. She did nip people who came onto our property if we weren't outside. She wasn't extremely aggressive. Her nips never drew blood but kept people out of the yard. I realize we didn't know to socialize her.
    One day when she was 5-ish, she attacked and killed a stray cat. I was at school and when I came home my mom had gotten rid of her because watching the cat attack terrified her. I understand where my mom was coming from but I sure wish we'd just known how to train her etc in the beginning. So my advice to others is MAKE SURE to watch these videos and learn all you can about training a Doberman correctly.
    I WOULD ABSOLUTELY have another Dobie!!! They are awesome dogs! In fact we had another one later on and he was a bit more gentle. Sadly a nearby farmer shot him. 😪
    Thanks for doing these videos!!! 😁♥️

But he took her back to the breeder because he didn't think his lifestyle would fit her needs. Now I LOVE Doberman and interested in getting one once im a bit older.

When you get them from a good breeder and socialize them and train them the right way they can be loving family dogs I am considering a Doberman. I know that this dog will help protect me and be great companion.

    Pros: the unconditional love they have for you and you have for them. Con: ?? Can't think of any for my Girl, she's not just my best friend but a true companion for life!!! My Doberman Layla she actually saved my Daughter's life by barking and jumping up on her bedroom door when it was closed to get my attention when my Daughter was sick on night at 3:45 am. My Daughter got sick and had her bedroom door closed she was sleeping on her back and got sick and threw up and aspirated and blocked her airway. Layla immediately saw she was in danger and began to jump up and scratching the door and barking very aggressive which was out of caricature. It woke me up instantly and was able to get to my Daughter and clean her airway.

    My Dobi is cooking as we speak, resting peacefully in his mommy’s tummy due to pop out in March and I can hardly wait.
    I live alone because I prefer it that way and because I am an ugly man but my dogs think I am as handsome as Tom Selleck.
    I am retired now so my life centers here at home with my dogs and the activities around what I call a big yard it is the perfect
    place for a dog like a Doberman. I love it when my dogs interact with me. I have had three boxers and two Pit Bull Terriers and all
    have been unique and special in their own way. The most important thing I have found is this uniqueness and the separate distinct
    personality of each companion I have been blessed with, people not so much. Dogs do not hide who they are, they are not selfish
    or greedy with themselves. They will freely be who they are without pretense or hidden agendas. They need your love and everything
    that goes with it and in return they will love you right back. It is truly a wonderful thing to connect with your dog, nothing quite like it.

    I became an 'accidental' owner of an American Doberman puppy and can say all these points you've mentioned are true. My dog (still under a year old) is turning into a wonderful companion and yes they have high energy but are so trainable it's amazing. They are definitely 'velcro' dogs and they WILL want to be stuck to you like glue everywhere but not in a needy whiny way.
    Your videos have helped me along the way with a very busy schedule, trying to understand how best to work with my dog and train with little free time.
    I know this sounds odd but I noticed a definite uptick in 'trainability' and 'bond' once I allowed my dog to sleep on my bed. I normally would shut the bedroom door and all would be well until maybe predawn and then the door scratching would start, but no, he didn't need to go potty. I had always thought it not a good idea to let a dog sleep on the bed but he never assumes he can just jump up, waits until I'm done brushing teeth etc and then will still wait for my 'ok' command to jump up. Minds his manners and doesn't fuss and keep me awake. He won't even eat his food unless I give him his 'ok'! These dogs are the smartest!
    And a comment on the 'out of place' - I had a friend over who was playing with my dog and meanwhile I slid under my car with wrenches to work on something, was focused on that. Supposedly my dog ran around a shed playing then suddenly saw 'someone' under 'his car' and my friend said the hair went up on his neck and he was actively barking and angling in to see what was going on. I thought they were just playing and I was ready to slide out from under the car anyway and once I did my dog stopped barking and came up covering me with licks and happy yips. It's good to know he realized this was not 'normal' in his scan of the property and he acted accordingly.
    He's still a puppy but the sky's the limit in teaching and training these dogs! They definitely look to please their owners, are highly aware of their surroundings and alert. If a person can't handle a 'new member' of the family they must interact with respectfully and fairly they're better off getting another breed! Dobies are for life loyal!

    My 5 month old Dobermann pup (European.. just a Dobermann over here)is a joy! She is an absolute sweetheart. Yes she is always by my side wherever I go.. She doesn't destroy her toys. And loves playing with other dogs. She is very friendly. Unless it's dark out. Then she is a different animal. So far I'd say it has been pretty easy. But we will definitely have to work on separation.
