Hey there and welcome to the forum!

Re the biting, it sounds like dominance play to me. My advice would be to practise a really good re-call, so you can call her back around other dogs/distractions. Also, I would say its really important to stop it before it escalates and be really careful in case another dog in the park doesn’t appreciate rough play.

Personally, I would keep her on the lead until you are confident she comes back 99% of the time. My dog is excellent with other dogs, but I also carry an compressed air can/air-horn to shock the dogs in case a fight ever broke out. You could also use it as a deterrent, in case she feels the need to nom on the other dog! As long as you catch her just as she goes to nip

Re the skincare, I've never had a dog with skin issues, but I hear alot of people have better luck with a change of diet. It might be worth looking into!

Hello and Welcome to Doberman Talk!

Bless you for choosing to adopt!

Hugz to Zoie!

Hi and welcome to the forum from PA. Thanks so much for adopting.

What color is your dobe? Blue dobes and to some extent fawns, come with skin trouble practically built in. Storm's Regimen might be a good place to start with a blue dobe.

Diet, allergies, hormonal imbalances, bacterial and fungal infections and mite infestations can all have some influence on a dog's coat.
