Hi everyone,
Introducing Dobey!
He's 1 and 1/2 months old.
After hearing me go on about how much I love and wanted a Doberman, my sweet girl got me one for Christmas! Best gift ever.
We are from Melbourne, Australia. Down here, unfortunately, it is illegal to dock the tail and crop the ears, and you can get some hassles for it. It's total bull****..
Anyway, as much as I would've preferred the docked tail & cropped ears, I don't mind the natural look. (I've been looking up the natural ear taping on this forum)
The little guy is settling in nicely. Didn't whine much on his 2nd night here.
He's got a friend in the backyard, Pilly.
She's a 7 year old Kelpie x Jack Russel, and already they love to play together. Which is very surprising since Pilly is not well trained and dog social, at all. After two days of supervision, I think it's safe to say they get along and I'm not too worried about them being together.
He will mostly always stay outside.
I've had a couple of very short training sessions with the little guy, basically introducing him to 'Sit' with the treats above his nose. He's very energetic and gets distracted very easily, and quite often doesn't even seem interested in the treat!
Overall he seems very happy and excited to be here.
Any advice and tips would be greatly appricated.
Glad to be apart of this forum,
