| Hey and welcome from hamilton Ontario. Glad to see that you've found dobermantalk, its a great resource.
I would also give the "pet store" lecture but its already been said. Make sure that his crate is not too big, he should not be able to soil one area and lie in another, sounds mean... but its the case, also no blankets until he's reliable.
I think because of the pet store thing you will likely have to take him out a few times, even at night, lots or praise for going outside and then back in the crate. Be VERY consistent. Feed at the same exact times every day, let out at the same exact times, put in at the exact same times and let out of the crate at the exact same times.
also, get that paw checked.
also, what sex are all of your dogs? I hope that the ( what I'm assuming is a min pin? by your medium sized... since there is no medium sized doberman...) is not male.
