My Doberman puppy Arlo is 1 year old now and turning into a MUCH easier to manage and well-behaved family dog! This dog is incredibly smart, but a little stubborn at times. He’s making tons of progress when it comes to house manners, playing with the kids, command training, his behaviors, and so many other aspects. He certainly still has room for improvement but overall, I’m very excited with the progress I’ve seen Arlo make during his time in our family. Owning a Doberman can be tough during that first year, but Arlo is proof that if you make it through those tough initial stages… it’s all worth it!

  1. I started watchjng this channel when u bought Arlo at 8 weeks…. Man its great watching him grow into the great dog he is now… I feel like i've been watching him progress in person …..Thanks for the videos mate… They're amazing … Keep posting more… and you definitely convinced me to get a dobbie❤️❤️❤️💯

  2. I haven't watched it and listened to several of your videos and I find it is amazing with the Doberman I have several disabilities and I'm wondering if with your opinion would a doberman be a good medical alert service dog if properly trained

  3. Arlo is awesome. I will be picking up my Euro-bred Dobe puppy in 5-1/2 weeks. He's just 3 weeks old right now. I am enjoying watching your videos. You give lots of great tips and advice. The Doberman breed is like no other and definitely have certain challenges.

  4. Just visiting to check on beautiful Arlo. Progress for me I managed to not cry while watching. Can't guarantee that not happening again any time soon. I lost my boy Hercules a month ago from the dreaded DCM. He was only 4. Sadly I most likely will never have another because of my own health problems.

  5. It’s been fun following your journey. Sure is a beautiful dog.

    One thing I did to overcome leash reactivity (which was completely out of control) with my dogs was I worked them up to doing obedience work OUTSIDE the dog park. As they got better at tuning into me, we would move the exercises closer and closer to the fence (where other dogs would go zooming by or be playing or whatever). It proved to be a wonderful resource and training. Now my dogs are well behaved on the leash AND we play at the dog park! In the beginning I took them nearly daily for a 15-20min training session for many weeks in a row but it sure paid off! Nothing beats having a well balanced dog!

    Thanks for the videos!

  6. My doberman is 7 months now and it is height 66 cm,, i hope it can be 71-72 cm at 1 year.. im curious for arlo height at 1 years? Could u tell me?

  7. I would like to get a European Doberman but with a lot of bad breeders out there I am not sure where to go. Where did you get Arlo from?

  8. Hey can you get ahold of me I could really use your advice . I have a eight month old dobsky but the doberman side comes out more . I need your training help asap

  9. Arlo has grown into a fantastic looking dog at 1 year as well as showing great characteristics for a family dog. It seems that now most Doberman breeders have focused on showline dogs vs. working line dogs that can be trained in Schutzhund or personal protection. What are your thoughts about that and why did you choose a dog from a European breeder vs. US. breeder? Thanks for sharing your story with us.

  10. Well you convinced my son who is 18 years to get one. But I am the one who ended up taking care of our Dobbie who's name is Billah and he is 13 month now We had him since he was 10 weeks old. I have learned so much from your videos so THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart. This was my first dog at the age of 47,there were time I just wanted to give him up but I am so glad I did not. He is such a good boy now. I work from home with a call center but my boy knows not to make any sounds or bark while I am working. He is so good. I love him so much.

  11. What an excellent program. My last dog was a Weimariner, and we didn't do a lot of discipline with training. He was raised like a kid and had the run of the house and a huge yard. Naturally intelligent, he understood many things, but now I see that he could have had so much more potential! I should have taken much more time like you have done with Arlo, how much more that natural intelligence and affectionate nature would have come out. It's so fantastic to see the training produce such a beautiful hound and best friend.

  12. Can I ask why you decided on a male ? We are meeting the litter in a couple of weeks, they’ll be 6 weeks old to pick out our pup and I am a little unsure whether I want a male or female. It’s our first Dobe 😊

  13. Brandon mcmillan is the most gentle, thorough and effective dog i've ever encountered. My friend and i love the dog show and never miss it. So many times we've shed a tear of happiness just seeing a dog's life changed forever when proper training is applied and they go on to live their lives the way they should. I have brandon's book https://www.youtube.com/post/UgkxK8-VQWpYThx4IC6MiIvb6VS1ebTzzdxq in two formats. Not only the paperback version but also the kindle version to refer to when i don't have the paperback along with me. I have used his methods with my cavalier kc spaniel and turned a non-disciplined furbaby into a companion who has traveled thousands of miles with us across the country. He is a near perfect dog thanks to brandon's methods. I don't get one cent of kickback for recommending brandon but i do it because i love dogs. They deserve to be given a chance. Brandon's mission in life – to rescue dogs and place them in a forever, happy home – is very dear to my heart. I recommend his methods to anyone who has a dog – young or old. I've seen him take even old dogs and teach them. Brandon was an animal trainer before his current mission. His parents were animal trainers. His methods are the best i've ever found. Your furbaby will thank you for spending the money on this book. Don't hesitate – it is worth every cent.
