Happy new year and thank you been meaning to shake up the routine 😁
A lot of you have asked about the "Flirt Pole" I used in this video (the big cat-teaser looking toy that's made for dogs) at 3:37. It IS pretty awesome at wearing Arlo out, without wearing me out. Haha. Here's the link to the one Arlo and I use (we have the 36-inch version):

Happy New Year John!
Quick question, how would you best handle separation anxiety?
My 11month old Female has been awesome, I have followed everything that you have taught on these videos and your website and she has turned into the sweetest, most loving, and most obedient dog. She has never chewed on anything that wasn't hers up until TODAY! I am out of town for a work event and each time I do this she is home alone with my lady, and she acts up. Today she chewed up the carpet which is mind-boggling to me because she hasn't ever chewed on something other than her toys. She isn't crated anymore because we haven't ever had an issue, and she doesn't do it when she is left home alone at my house, but in my ladies house she acts up.
How can I fix this when I am gone? I feel terrible. She is such a sweet dog but this one incident has made me feel like I am doing something wrong now! (I'm not downplaying it either, this is literally the first time she has chewed something not hers! But this was bad!)
Thanks so much for everything. Your advice and training has turned this dog into the "second" love of my life after my lady lol.
Great video by the way!!
Declan
I have this same exact flirt pole! It was the best thing I ever bought for my doberman. She gets super excited for it and doesn't take much time to tire her out. Definitely worth the investment and you can buy replacement parts for the ends of it. 🙂
Can i feed Ceralac to my 45 day old Doberman puppy?
He seems weaker than its siblings
Hi brother,I'm trying to get a doberman,should I get male or a female?
Hi sir how old can we start training and exercising a doberman puppy? Can we put them on exercise as early as 2months old? Thank you
I really appreciate your content, I'm gathering information so I can adopt my own dobie girl in the next year. Thanks so much!
The puzzle toys like the one you showed my doberman worked out that she could hild it in her mouth an throw it up in the air on a hard foor and smash it, all the sand from it on the floor!!!
How can I introduce toys to my doberman
We put the deposit on a European puppy today! Just wanna say thankyou so much for preparing me for this. I've been watching all of your videos, I think I watched your puppy corner videos like five times each, ugh, I nervous.. Can't be too prepared!
We LOVE THE DOBES!
Hi i live in sweden and i News help to find a good breeder can you please help👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Hey man, i just wanna ask how tall do American doberman and european doberman get, ? I'm planning to get an American doberman , it's the only one available in our country, European are hard to find, i really just wanna know how big do American dobis get
Great vid John, any chance on doing some stuff for the older Dobes,who may be on restrictions as per some exercises and activities?
Sir tell me for food chart flow Doberman please video my dog also
I have to wait sooo long to get a Doberman! But I'm so close to getting the puppy. I want to have a strong bond with it and trains it to be the best. I just love them so much and Arlo! I will probably be getting a agility course for it too.
Although this video has some great ideas, please note that you should NOT take a dog to a dog show unless it is entered in the show. It is actually against the rules for any AKC or UKC sanctioned event. There are certain health and equipment restrictions as well. And finally, there are expectations about behaviors.
Just a suggestion (something I do with my dogs) is a mix of fetch and hide and seek. It’s easier to do outside if they’re trained off-leash. Just throw a stick and then hide behind a bush or tree for them to find you
You’ve gotten me so excited and feeling very confident! I’ve watched most of your videos to ensure that when I pick my Doberman and bring her home I’ll be ready!
My Dobie, Coby, is clearly not getting enough exercise, he definitely shows a lot of the signs you mentioned. Everyone in my household has chronic pain /exhaustion, along with me working for service so I'm dead on my feet most days after work. I'm going to try a few of these to see how he does! Thank you
The hide and seek ability of a Dobie can be taken incredible. At our trainer’s, they take my wife out into a large field on an ATV at night to get some distance and she’d hide in tall grass. I’d then give our Dobie a command and she’d run into the field and find find my wife. She got very quick with it and it was good fun.
You could always get a fast, all terrain radio control vehicle (I recommend one in the 1/10 size). Be sure to introduce your dog to the rc properly by having a good distance between the two before you make the truck zip across the field. Don't have it charge towards your dog, rather have it catch the dogs attention by driving it from left to right or drive away from. You'll need to "armor" the rc to keep it from getting chewed into oblivion and you don't want the dog to puncture the battery pack, so some kind of armor. Also, once the dog gets close to the rc, have it come to a complete stop, you don't want to cause injury to your dog so after your dog gets close to catching the rc, complete stop. Walk over to the two and bring your dog back to the bench/seat/tailgate/whatever. You could also attach a chew toy to the back of the rc with a length of rope or strong string.
Lol… They don't float very well…
I guess my dog will never see snow since I live in the desert😢🥺😭
My Doberman loves tug of war and me too ❤❤
O, if your lazy and know how to work a drone, this is crazy 🤣 good excersize.
My Doby is not a fan off baths any suggestions
I don’t like going to dog parks because they’re other dogs aren’t very friendly and some owners don’t watch their dogs
These beautiful dogs will do anything, as long as you don’t get them wet and cold. Nb. Buy a coat for winter and wet weather.
I would say dog show is physical – low (usually you are running only few rounds) and mentally – medium (dog has to concentrate 100% on you and what you are doing. Also there is some loud noises, many other dogs and people etc. Our dogs may sleep for whole day after show wknd😅🙈).
