hello
I used this website before when I got an unwanted dobe aged 7 1/2 months. she is now 18 months old. she has bee3n to training classes, runs off lead through forest 3 times daily but also running round my fields. she lives with my 2 other dogs. But she is a force to be reckoned with. She is very protective of myself and my husband, she is territorial of our house, our land, our land rovers and in the room my husband takes her to at work sometimes.
She runs like the wind like a cruise missile checking everywhere looking out for threats. I do not trust her with humans but she is fine with dogs. how can she determine what are the boundaries as she is bred for protection as we all know. i have talked to doberman owners and met some at dog shows and a few have the same 'working strain dobermans' with similar traits to her. she is a lot of work (I know dogs are !) and needs to be calmer in her own environment and territory as I do not have that many humans coming to my house but have a muzzle on her when they come as she will lunge at them.
I do correct her but this is my first dobe. i have had setters, pointers, terriers, lurchers and a belian malinios which were all fine.
