The Doberman is a very human-focused dog, which is why many owners find themselves needing to train their Dobermans to stop jumping up on them, and their friends who come to visit. In this video, I demonstrate three methods to get your Doberman to stop jumping up on people that are highly effective. Plus, I reveal a method to stop the jumping that I’ve been refining for a while now that’s designed specifically for Dobermans. Yes, my very own anti-jumping Doberman-specific technique called “Hands Up, Don’t Jump!” If you want to know which techniques for stopping jumping in Dobermans are worth your time, these are them! So let’s stop your Doberman from jumping up on you and visitors who come to your house. This is what you need to do to have a well-behaved Dobie.

I watched your older video on the hands up technique, and was blown away at how quickly this worked for our Dobie pup! Thank you, thank you, thank you! She's a champ with this. Now, if only I could get her to enjoy being alone in the house. She loves her crate any time of the day, except when we leave. If you have ideas, I'm all ears. This week, we've been testing out putting her in her crate while we are working (and our son is virtual learning). We rarely leave the house, but do try leaving for 15-30 mins from time to time (sometimes just to work with her on this situation). She barks the entire time we are away, and is really worked up when we return. FYI…she's currently 7 months old.
Hi, we have rescued our doberman 3 weeks ago, and she is 10 months old. Thank you for this video, we will be trying your methods out, as we are tired of her jumping up on us, every time she sees us for the 1st time for the day. I will let you know our progress 😊🐕
I'm sure a lot of people will have issues with this but it works well for me. I wouldn't recommend it for everyone because it's reliant upon the dog knowing you're the alpha and knows better than to challenge you.
What I do is speak their language which is how dogs communicate with eachother to set boundaries. If my Dobie intrudes my space like trying to get his head near my plate or jump on me, I will give him a low growl. The training for this starts as a pup when they bite or try to play maul you. Puppies, and all mammals, respond to physical reprimands when learning. Mothers will growl or even nip their pups when they get out of hand so speaking their language works well to rid them of unacceptable behavior.
Now, you don't wanna hurt them but they do sometimes need a physical response to learn from this technique. As a pup, if they jump up and bite at my face, I will growl. If they do it again, I will once again growl a little louder and firmly, not violently, grasp the scruff of their neck to get their attention followed by a firm No, or Nein in my case because I prefer German Commands. If it continues, I will roll them onto their backs and hold them down for a few seconds to relay the point that I mean business and they are gonna listen to their alpha. By speaking their language, my pups have always learned quickly what types of physical behavior and boundaries are acceptable and which ones are not. Many people will complain this is abusive or makes aggressive dogs. I've never had that problem with any of my dogs because it's not abuse, it's the same response they would get from their angry mother or any other dog who will not accept being a chew toy.
Instances I would not recommend this for are with adult dogs you are unfamiliar with who may take it as a challenge, owners who are timid and have problems establishing themselves as the alpha of the home or "pack," and in instances that don't require a physical response or "threat", like training for tricks, problems with their listening skills, dealing with aggressive behavior towards cats, etc. Only use it to establish boundaries you don't want them crossing with you.
So appreciate your advice! Thank you.
Super Duper Ty!
Really??? Little dramatic…
This is Hilarious!
I love watching you, you are so informative. We are getting a doberman next month and I watch you all the time so maybe I will be ready!
I have learned so much from you I'm going to be staying with 2-95lbs Dobermans owners told me they jump im a little person but i will try all ur techniques & if all fail i will hopeful not get knocked over so happy i found u
Thank you needed to watch this
I have two that jumó on me and they have scratch me bad
My dogs do not jump on me ever. But getting my bloodhound rottweiler mix not to jump on other people has never really happened in 11 years. Not because I don't try. Not because he doesn't listen. Even my dobie grabs his back legs to get him to stop! It all has come down to people not ignoring him when they came in and not telling him no. He's just too cute! lol
Wonderful tips on Dobbs jumping on us with groceries loaded in our arms.
My husband has used the wheelbarrow trick with his last few dogs with success. We currently have a shollie and the wheelbarrow trick does not work with him. He finds it to be a game and my husband has done it several times in a row before switching to hands up and knee out
My dog every time i bring to walk if so it the cat or dog he jumped on me
Hello. what about biting , how to stop that ? my 5 old month old female red won't stop biting and runs at you with the mouth open all the times. what can I do . any advise ?
Hi, i love your videos and the dobbies! i am fascinated by them and I am thinking to get one. I am wondering if a female dobermann will need more exercise then a male Doberman pincher..? Will 2 hours be enough..?
The awkward dance trick worked wonders, thank you!
I've adopted a dobie, around a year old, who was abandoned in my neighborhood. He's usually chill, and he isn't malicious, but, he has some stress, with change in environment, diet, and having been abandoned by his previous owner.
This behavior will come out in the evenings, and is indicative of what you've mentioned, about being raised the incorrect way, from his time as a puppy.
I also, slowly, socializing him. He needs lots of love and patience. I am also considering training (for both of us).
Your insights, here, about one behavior, explain a few behaviors, in fact.
Otherwise, he's a loving boy.
this is great. I think its when in wild a dog will greet each other in there faces. They are for your face I feel and when I turn away its like no I don't like that and I say "No" in a deep low voice. Say there Name then give one word command.. Saying NO NO NO NO dont do that or just there name for they have no idea what you want. if you jump on me wanting to see my face. When they sit and behave I treat. Kids are bad at allowing dogs to jump on them I feel as is some owners.
haha love how you show how NOT to allow a dog doing something by allowing your dog to be naughty …lol.. Not Running out a door is another issue. I have taught people how to do .
This baby is high energy too
Awesome videos
my doberman puppies juko is awsome with the wheelbarrow and the ignoring thing thank u so much I don't have to worry about me getting knocked over with groceries in my hands anymore!
🙏😍 gonna try this method.🇵🇭🇺🇸🇨🇱
I´ve got a Dobeman X Malinois breed but he´s close to 100% of Dobeman behavior. So I´m really thankful for Your hints on Your channel. Vladimir is close to seven month old and I got really much knowöedge from Your channel to handle him right. And it works!!!😎
Why and HOW does the Hands Up Method work?!?
And WORKED it did!!!
I have a 4 month old Doberman who thinks she's a piranha !!!
She stops jumping and snapping almost instantly!!!
Just need to know WHY…
THIS METHOD WORKS?!?
THANKS !!!
Hi can anyone tell me the best ear stands to use for my new puppy please
Your method is amazing I used it on my Dob when she was small but the only jumping problem I have with her that she is going to be 3 is when I make my bed she jumps on the bed and being deaf I give her hand signals to get down and she looks at me like nope my bed. Any suggestions because even throwing toys in front of her on the floor she stays on the bed till she's ready to get off. As usual thank you so much you are.awesome and so very knowledgeable.
My Doberman took a good knee to the chest and never again has this been a problem with me. My wife is a different story.
Thank you so much for this video!!!! Very helpful!! Can’t wait to try these out!
