Hi everyone,
I am a new dog owner and I have recently adopted a Doberman Pinscher puppy. I am really excited to have him as my new family member, but I am not exactly sure how to train him. I have read a lot of articles online, but I still feel overwhelmed and confused about where to start.
Do any of you have experience in training a Doberman Pinscher? What are the best tips and techniques that you have used? Also, I would love to hear about any challenges you have faced and how you overcame them.
Thank you in advance for your help!
Hello everyone,
I too have experience with training Doberman Pinschers and wanted to share with you some of the things that have worked for me.
One thing that helped me with training was keeping communication with my dog a top priority. Dobermans are incredibly intelligent, and I found that if I included them in the communication, such as using hand or facial signals, it was easier to get my Dobie to do what I wanted.
Another tip I found helpful was managing expectations. Training takes time and patience, and new dog owners can become easily frustrated when they don't see quick results. Frustration can lead to anger or disinterest, so it's helpful to remember this is a process that takes time, but it can ultimately lead to a strong bond with your new family member and better behaviour.
When training, it's important to make sure you're doing those training sessions at a time when your dog is most receptive. As I respected my dog's schedule and started training when he was up for it, I noticed more success in the training sessions. Consistency in training is also necessary.
Finally, I highly recommend learning from people who are more experienced than you are. Getting advice from a professional and hanging out with any other Doberman owners who have been where you are can offer valuable insights, making the whole training process feel less overwhelming.
I wish you all the best of luck in your training process!
