At an early age they should know what they are allowed to chew hard on such as their toys. Have a spray bottle handy and if they start to bite or chew on something that is off limits or too hard, spray them with a little water. This will cause him to stop and it is definitely better than a loud verbal scolding and soon they will know what and who not to bite.

Poor breeders always:

• Seem to focus on getting the dog out of their responsibility
• Cannot provide any documented proof or certification of its clear and sound health
• Do not have knowledge of cropping the ears or docking the tail which is a breed standard
• Fail to inform you about the health concerns such as bloat or heart concerns

Quality breeders always:

• Adhere to the breed standard hence keeping their physical attributes and protective and alert attitude
• Be part of a governing Doberman group or club
• Will take time to show their kennel and its cleanliness
• Will provide certificates of good health and through orientation on how to groom and care for it

Maybe finding a quality breeder may be difficult with one disproving the other and hyping up their own. With not much experience, it can lead to a pitfall leaving you with a poorly bred dog that may cost more to take care of medically or because you would need to either buy new furniture or forcing them to play fetch and all they do is lay down.

Other people may see docking as an aesthetic or cosmetic aspect and totally unnecessary but Doberman enthusiasts are also trying to avoid the dog from “broken tail” injury due to the thin tail bone that can break by excessive wagging or striking an object unintentionally.

Breeders who are strict in following the standard have the tails docked as early as a few hours after the puppies have been born. There isn’t any real scalpel surgery done but an orthodontic-type band is placed around the tail cutting the blood circulation to it. In a few days the tails eventually just fall off.  Future owners who want undocked tails will have to search for breeders who will allow as many are stuck with the standard, sleek that comes after docking.

Save money on vet bills! Do the basic health check yourself.

Here are some techniques: train the dog with commands to STOP and SIT while they are on the leash without any strong pulls. Hopefully they will do the commands as you stop walking. Another is tug on the leash with a verbal command as the dog starts to pull.  If it persists, walk the other way and pull harder on it, Dobermans learn fast and this may help.  Pinch collars can also be utilized however, they cause pain and if the dog keeps dragging the owner; the spikes will cut into the skin. Pain is not a healthy form of positive reinforcement.

If you want proof of just how extraordinary the relationsip between man and his best friend can be then you really must read a stunning new book called One Dog At A Time. It has been written by a British Marine and dog lover called Pen Farthing and tells of his time serving in the violent Helmand Province of Afghanistan.

While dodging the bullets and mortars, Sergeant Farthing witnessed the cruel and barbaric Afghan tradition of dog fighting. Rather than standing by as many would have done, he risked his life by breaking up the fighting and freeing the dogs. One of them, a big, battle-scarred mastiff he christened Nowzad after the town he was stationed in, found his way into the Marine compound where he befriended his liberator. As Farthing’’s tour of duty continued, he and Nowzad became inseparable buddies. The tough British soldier and the powerful dog formed an odd couple in the middle of the war zone. They were soon joined by other dogs who were drawn to the sanctuary the Marine compound provided. At one point, one dog pushed her litter of newborn pups through the wall of the compound so that they could be safe from the Taliban bombs and general cruelty of the Afghans towards the dog.

By the end of his time in Afghanistan, Farthing had more than a dozen dogs and puppies living in his makeshift sanctuary. As he prepared to leave, he was faced with the heartbreaking prospect of leaving them all behind.

We won’t spoil the ending of this powerful book, but suffice it to say that two of the dogs he rescued are now living with Pen Farthing in England. He has also set up a fantastic charity to rescue other abused dogs in Afghanistan. His work is truly inspirational and is winning the admiration and support of dog lovers everywhere. Part of the proceeds from the book will go towards his charity.

If you only buy and read one dog book this year, make it One Dog At A Time.

One in five dogs snore. That’s what a group of scientists discovered when they did a study on canine sleeping habits.

They also discovered that dogs dream. In a series of tests vets recorded dogs experiencing Rapid Eye Movement or REM sleep, which in humans indicate a dreamy state. Interestingly, the vets also discovered that dogs tend to doze in on-off sequences, snoozing for an hour then waking for half an hour. During the waking period dogs are often highly active and do things like pacing around and barking. No one yet has explained whether this is related to their dreams.

Not all dogs are able to control their sleeping habits so well.
Dobermans were bred by a German tax-collector who wanted to produce a dog so fierce that it could protect him on travels through bandit-infested countryside and persuade reluctant debtors to pay up. One line of the breed didn’t quite work out according to plan, however.

This unfortunate strain of Dobermans suffer from narcolepsy- an inherited condition which makes them drop sound asleep whenever they get excited. Even the sight or smell of a favourite snack is enough to send them into a deep slumber.

Also, dog training is an integral part of a working dog’s life for them to be able to assist humans in activities like hunting and police work. Training dogs is a specialized skill since the key difficulty lies in how to communicate efficiently with them.

All training of dogs is a repetition of the basic principle of reward and punishment in various forms and combinations. Communication of these signals is the key to proper training. One very important thing to remember is consistency of signals. The reliability of the training depends on how well a dog is able to be sure of what your signals mean.

It must also be mentioned that different dog breeds take to training differently. Dogs like the iconic German Shepherd are very easily trained due to their high intelligence. Another important factor is the emotional state of the dog. A dog that is frightened, anxious, or insecure doesn’t train well and this reflects the importance of factors like proper socialization of Doberman puppies.

A lot of studies have shown that proper puppy socialization goes a long way towards ensuring a good temperament and receptivity towards training. Lots of handling, petting and generally being around humans in their everyday life goes a long way towards making a dog well behaved and easy to train.

Training Doberman puppies should not begin too early however, as there is evidence to show that before a certain age, the brains of puppies are not significantly developed enough to process complex learning.

Professional dog trainers are best when it comes to training your dog as they will ensure that the proper habits are set for life, including how to behave around strangers. For the safety of your dog, it is your duty as an owner to ensure that he or she is well trained.
