| Do you think your Doberman knows your normal routines and actions? How well do they observe you and react to your habits?
Risa knows my morning bathroom routine. She sleeps until she hears my hair dryer turn off. Both dogs wake up when I turn my computer off and/or shut my laptop. Fiddler runs to his crate for a treat every time my husband eats in the tv room. Every time I'm on the phone, both dogs get soooooooo annoying. They know when I leave the house whether I"ll be right back or whether I"ll be gone for awhile.... I could go on and on. They notice everything!
Does your Doberman know the difference between a workday and a non-work day? Do they act or behave differently to you?
I don't really have a "normal" schedule, and so this doesn't really impact them. They are, however, used to waking up when my husband gets up for work. He takes them out around 7:00 am.
By your routine action around the home, do they react to situations which are out of your routine? (Enter/exit the same door, making loud noises, etc)
They don't really react when my routine differs.
How do they react to situations which are not normal around the home? (bark, go investigate, act tough, etc)
Does your Doberman know what is supposed to be outside around your home? How do they react to things not supposed to be there?
They bark. We just moved into our new house about two weeks ago. Last week Fiddler saw a strange car parked outside. (Nobody was in it.) He started barking at it. I was amazed than in just a week he already knew which cars belonged here and which cars didn't!
