Is it normal, anyway?!

Yes, it is. Just imagine the situation from the point of view of your Doberman. He is part of the family, often treated as “the kid”, and then, suddenly, a new creature arrives and takes all the attention of his beloved family. It is quite similar to what older children feel, when a little brother/sister arrives. One of the differences is just that the dog can’t speak English

Actually, if we are aware of this ‘problem’ in advance, the situation can be handled, but it needs consciousness and to be started in time, long before the baby’s arrival. Let’s see how we can prepare our Doberman for the new family member.

If your dog’s daily routine has to be changed with the baby’s arrival (it probably will), you should start changing the rules much earlier, giving him plenty of time to get used to the new set up. This way it isn’t going to be so sudden and shocking. If your Doberman hasn’t really been trained before, it’s high time to start. He should learn at least a few commands, like sit, stay, etc. This way, he’ll be easier to handle.

Many families worry about their dog endangering the health of the child, so the best thing to do is to take your pet to the vet, get him checked and get some advice. Get your Doberman used to the new smells, sounds in advance (blankets, lotions, toys). It’s also a good idea, that just after your baby was born, send home a blanket that the baby had been in, so your dog can experience the child’s smell in advance. It is very important to know that your  Doberman will get a lot less attention from the mother, so when taking the baby home for the first time, the mother should greet the dog, so it is better if someone else is carrying the baby.

It is also a good idea not to leave them alone together at the first times, until your Doberman feels comfortable with the baby, because, for example, it is very possible that the dog won’t tolerate the child’s crying very well in the beginning. You have to teach him that this is a normal sound, and you should motivate him not to bark (with treats, for example).

And the most important rule for last, maybe it seems too obvious, but it’s still worth mentioning: try to give as much attention to your Doberman as you can. The point is that he has to feel that you do care about him. If you keep this in mind, most probably there will be no problem.

Dobermans were first bred by a tax collector, Karl Friedrich Louis Dobermann, in Germany around 1890. The reason why the Doberman breed has the features that we know and appreciate today, such as its intelligence, alertness and ferocity, is because Karl Friedrich Louis Dobermann needed a guardian to protect him while on duty. The breeds guardian abilities are well known globally and the Middle East is no exception. Read more about popular dogs in the Dubai.

Having a puppy around the house can be a huge source for entertainment and play. But how does that saying go? “It’s all fun until someone gets hurt’. Due to the excitement and fun, a Doberman puppy may just bite a little too hard and its sharp teeth can puncture skin. What can be done to avoid this? One way is to immediately tell them NO. This may be a party pooper method but they need to learn that they shouldn’t bite hard.

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.

What a position for a Doberman pup to take! He will make a perfect watchdog when he grows up.

Avoid unnecessary vet bills! Do your dog’s basic health check!

Too young to walk, but he just keeps trying!  He will make a strong Doberman.

Breeder Louis Dobermann had wanted to streamline the look of the dog by giving it a fierce and sleek appearance by cropping the ears and docking the tail. 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.
