Does any one have a Doberman? I do and he is a real clown he has developed these weird behaviors! where he will bow his head down between his front legs and scratch on the floor, the whole time he will make a weird vocal noise. He will also lay on his side moving all four legs as though he was swimming the side stroke again he will make a vocal noise. He is the funniest dog. If you seen him you would probably be a bit afraid because he looks intimadating, he is the perfect bread confermation. Once you get to know him he is a big goof! ↓

my freind had a doby growing up she was 13 when they had to put her down she could not get up when she would lay down they would have to helpher to bed and up. she was a great dog before that she was a rescue they got her from a bad owner that tied her outside and shot her once. when it was hunting season they had to tie her up when she went out or he would go after the hunters but that is understand able i think. ↑

Your doberman is young and still very playfull, but you can still teach him biting is unacceptable! When he tries biting grab him around the muzzel and hold it, at the same time tell him no! Dont squeeze his muzzel hard just enough to hold his mouth closed. You have to be concistant and firm speaking! Always use a toy when playing with him never use your hand. If you do he will think it is ok to play bite you, thats what you are trying to break him of! Be sure every one in the house hold does the same when he bites! Remember when he is a pup biting may only be play, when he gets older play biting can lead to aggresive biting. So try the muzzel holding with the comand NO! ↑

I don't know really nothing about the breed. However I now own one since she was 8 weeks old. I"ve 6 Great Danes in the last 15 or so years and they are considered a Giant Breed! I will ALWAYS love DANES! However it is heart breaking to me because they don't live as long at all like other breeds. Dobermans are very sensative and extremly loyal and protective which I never knew when I got her as a pup. I hired atrainer to come out cause she at a young age was sooo protective almost dangerously to me. But I didn't do research about the breed before I bought her. I always liked Dobbies since a kid. I never knew they were stictley bredd to protect. They are bred to protect. I know now thwy have more health issuses than the Danes in the breed I wanted a dog I liked and felt safe with that would live longer than the Danes. I love her but she is a clown I thought I saw it all with the Danes but she is sooo loving and funny. From what I'm learning from her and my info about the breed they are sooo sincere and very sensative to how you react. I love her! ↑
