I've never let my doberman off the leash she would be in Cuba before I could catch her LOL!! Always be in control of your dog.....and get some of your family with young children and practice being around children. My friend who trains dobermans told me to say she always walked her doberman through a play area where children could see the dog and say something nice, she never allowed them to run up to the dog because she said he was in school. The children liked watching her as she trained him to walk around children and not step on them.I hope I've helped!!
