How do you train a Doberman puppy to understand basic commands? This is how! This video is a crash course on how to train a Doberman with the most important commands including sit, stay, lie down, off, come, leave it, and a release command. These techniques utilize my basic formula for training Dobermans which takes advantage of their natural instincts to get fast results. I’m always modifying my training approaches, but these are the most effective techniques I currently have.
For more information about how to train your Doberman in all the most important commands and behaviors, see my Complete Doberman Training Guide here (a lot of work went into this guide): https://www.dobermanplanet.com/how-to-train-a-doberman/

How do you get your dog to let you brush their teeth 😅?! He’s 3 months old
Love it! Thank you
Another useful recording. Thank you
My favorite dog is dober man
PLEASE HELP. I'M FOSTERING A 1.5 Y/O FEMALE DOBERMAN W/DOG REACTIVITY & I'M WORRIED ABOUT HER FUTURE (I don't think she is adoption ready…but she is listed for adoption)
I have fostered dogs for years & am currently fostering a 1.5 y/o F Doberman. I'm worried for her, so I put her through GROUP obedience out of my pocket. She completed the 6 weeks & her socialization is still the main issue (which is why I chose GROUP class). Oddly, she lives with a male Weim-GSP, & female Am-Eng bulldog & 2 cats.
She improved with people reactivity BUT her dog reactivity is AWFUL. She made small progess with big dogs & NO PROGRESS with the little schnauzer in the group class (EVERY class, multiple times she zones on the schnauzer & LUNGES, GROWLS, FROTHS). She's on a Herm sprenger & she hurts herself, gets frustrated & just spirals for a good 20 seconds (feels like eternity) before she goes in a sit (she doesn't relax, she is still clearly amped). We're redoing the 6 week GROUP class. She knows the commands, I need her have coping mechanism & impulse control around other dogs.
Do you have any advice on how I can stop the reactivity? It happens on leash walks too? I try to be proactive, but she knows EVERY house with a dog & the group class has dogs & becomes amped. I put her in sits, body block, "look at me" but she sits waiting me out (I have to go in the classroom &finish my dog walk, so it ends up with her hurting herself by herm sprenger correction pops or just lunging
AS I tell her leave it)
I have done this group class (1 & 2) with another dogs needing socializing & it's a great company with a good syllabus, spacious class etc.
Well explained ❤️👍
Do you have a video recommending how to slow down a fast eater? I just got my pup – Isis. She's 3 months old and is used to eat with a pack of others; so she scarfs her food too fast.
Getting my puppy soon , Hopefully training goes smoothly.
Do u have a Ear posting video?
Thanks,very useful!🙄
Is 11 months too far gone for training? Our 11 month old was doing so great and now is off the rails, jumps on my daughters (5&7)
jumps on me , is very reactive, I’m trying so hard to control the habits

I love your channel 13 years since having a dobie pup Great refresher plus new things to teach this old dog "me" new tricks 💞 I use a quiet room and I sit on floor a lot also I use a long line ect on my pups I had. dobies are easy trained some humans are hard. haha
What can i do if my dog does not want to do the down part i tried putting the treats close to his legs and nothing she jus playfights with my hands
Great overview of how to train a puppy
I've a 8 weeks old pup
Distractions are okay but what to do when they start fighting for treat and not listen to what they're told to
Should we teach multiple commands
Or let them learn one command first for few days then come to next command
Breaks my heart whenever I see a doberman with cut ears. They're literally cut for the look
John Walter hello..You are doing a great job !! 👍🫠
Very interesting video
Great video but I just can’t get my Doberman to stay standing all he wanna do it lay in the grass
I have been using this https://www.youtube.com/post/Ugkx1_veP7CApJK_GWy_TczaMciuG64PqJeU as a handy reference book. I read through the book and enjoyed the little glimpses of examples. I love that this author believes in rescue dogs. The tips and training has been invaluable and gave me moments of…."how simple why didn't I think of it" so it's been a great tool. Thank you!
As a dog walker, how can I get a Doberman puppy with separation anxiety to walk with me and enjoy it. She gets nervous walking (leaping) away from the owners house and zig zags anxiously and skiddishly around the street. Thanks ! 😊
Thank you ! I learned so much from watching your videos the past 2weeks . Getting our pup next week
Did you bell train your Doberman?
My family has just brought home a 7 year old female Doberman. A vet had ger surrendered to her to be put down do to the owner reporting her having ADHD. The vet is looking for the right fit for her. We offered to trial her to see if ahe is a good fit in our family with 2 kids 13 & 8 plus a senior 17 year old cat. We don't want to add stress to our cats last years of life. So far so good, beginning of day 3 in our home.
Robin is not leash trained. I have a prong collar that she came with and a collar the vet put on her. She is very sweet and my hope is to get her used to walking with me without pulling. Learning to heal properly and consistently to get yer off the prong collar ASAP. I did have surgery 5 weeks ago so the prong collar gets immediate results as she is strong and could pull me if she decided to chase something.
Any suggestions with adult training would ve helpful. I think she is really enjoying getting out for walks regularly.
Nice work 👍🏽
how would 1 get a hold of you minus
