I've written a couple of articles about Dobies (applies to other dogs, too), from my years of intensive observations of dogs and especially my last Dobie. I'm thinking some people here may enjoy this reading this article. It's published in the online magazine, Medium: Learning About...

So Grim is our 7 month old boy, we've had since 8 weeks. We didn't know any vaccinated pups so we had to wait until he was all set. When he was we introduced him to my sisters pit puppy. The pit was just a little excited making noises wagging his tail. Grim wanted to just run away we tried...

Hello guys I am new here, I have an 8 week old Doberman puppy and I have had him for less than 1 week. I love him when he is playing/doing tricks with me but I find that he often shuts down on me.... and this makes me sooo frustrated! I am a new owner and I feel like I am failing him! Also, both...

I haven't owned a Doberman in well over a decade and this is also my first time having two. They are a few weeks apart in age and the play has been getting more and more agressive as they grow. I can tell it is play because they have tails wagging, can be distracted easily (usually) and they...

I know I've been asking ten thousand questions since I joined here, so I figured I'd take a moment just to post a moment of hijinks with Zeus. :) This was my situation this evening. Clearly, we still need a lot of work on the "leave it" or "drop it" command! He knows when he's doing...

This is my first doberman and I am relatively new to dog training. I know, not the best combination but I really love the breed and did copious amounts of research before deciding to buy. Being new, I want to make sure I am doing everything I can to help ensure a healthy, happy environment for...

Needing suggestions for toys that can withstand long hours of doberplay. Effy has no interest in kongs or the other hard rubber toys. She lives to play tug and loves her rope toys, squeaky and stuffy toys more than anything, but I've recently had to start taking these all away from her within...

Hi, I have a 6 year old dobie and a new 13 week Malshi (Maltese/Shih Tzu).When my doberman plays with the Malshi she uses her front paws and stomps. She is a big girl 106lbs and I am so afraid she is going to insure the new puppy. How do I correct this behaviour and is it even possible?

I go to the dog park almost weekly and I have come across several dogs that Mayhem likes and gets along with but after a while, they get tired and want to lay down and catch their breath and mayhem still wants to go. I am looking to make some play dates with some other high energy dogs.

Hi I recently just got my first Doberman and she will be 3 months in a week. I have had many puppies in my life but I have never had one that play bites so much. I don't know if it's a Doberman thing or just her being a little wild. Does anyone have any ideas on how to stop this. I've tried...
