Education and training Doberman

Doberman is a wonderful breed of dog. They are characterized by good intelligence and reaction, for which they are often used as watchdogs. However, this requires efforts and bring up the dog, so the puppy owner must be patient, after which he will reap the fruits of his labors as an obedient watchdog. It is reasonable to teach a dog even if it plays the role of a pet - the knowledge of the commands will not be superfluous. We suggest that you familiarize yourself with the Doberman training program by months.

Speaking of the Doberman, we can say that they are intelligent, with a lively mind and an excellent reaction of the dog. This is a very brave and at the same time noble breed.

Taking into account all the behaviors of these dogs, experienced dog breeders recommend caution when buying such a pet to novices. But if you decide to start a Doberman, we will try to tell as much as possible how to raise a puppy at home, as well as about the features of training.

Properly trained dogs are very balanced, sociable, but at the same time harsh externally dogs. An interesting fact is that the dogs of this breed are among the 10 most faithful dogs in the world.

Before direct training, you should establish your own authority so that your pet sees the leader in you. The dog, because of its desire for leadership, may try to cast doubt on the primacy of the owner at any age. For this reason, regardless of the age of the dog, the owner should be firm in character. Any mistake will no doubt affect your credibility.

A dog has special critical moments when, in obedience to its innate instincts, it may try to take a leading position. It is then that the three basic qualities that underlie the whole training system should be especially manifested:

• the severity of the host to the dog;
• respect;
• an expression of love for a pet.

Thus, you will let the dog know that you are in charge, but at the same time show respect for him. And an expression of love will make your relationship warm.

In fact, all the training takes place in monthly stages, so the owner of the Doberman is wise to preliminarily examine this information in detail. Then you will have the opportunity not to miss precious time for training and developing the necessary qualities.

A puppy from an early age will begin to show its proud and independent character. Therefore, the owner, who has just begun the process of training a puppy at home, without the help of trainers, must have the necessary knowledge of all aspects, as well as be patient and tactful.

When the dog was just brought in, after having made all the necessary vaccinations, it is necessary to start learning the nickname so that the puppy will understand that they are addressing him. After that it is necessary to accustom to a specially designated place for a toilet.

As a result, the puppy will become obedient.

After that, the owner will teach the dog to the collar - this is one of the most important moments in the education of the Doberman. It is best to start practicing with the puppy at home, put a leash on it and walk around the room - this will avoid stressful situations when you first walk.

In addition, the puppy should clarify a number of necessary rules so that he does not go beyond the boundaries of what is permitted, this list includes the following:

• for games it is necessary to use only specially purchased toys, which will prevent damage to furniture and valuables;
• prevent the puppy from biting, no matter who plays with it - you or an unfamiliar person;
• for convenience, waking family members should be prohibited;
• to accustom one to loneliness, so that in such moments he would not howl, gnaw his shoes, or spoil furniture — this would avoid many problems.

The puppy is already allowed small walks in the fresh air. A very important point is to teach Doberman peace of mind at the sight of driving vehicles, passers-by people or other animals. Having developed such qualities in a dog, you will make it friendly to the environment.

At this stage, a new list of rules is introduced for a pet, which should be followed:

• food intake should be carried out only in a specially designated place;
• going to the toilet when walking outside;
• Do not show aggression towards people and any animals.

The basis for raising a Doberman still rests on consistency, strict behavior and the encouragement of properly executed teams.

Having learned the basic rules of behavior in society and home conditions, the dog does not need constant monitoring of his behavior. However, you can not allow even one-time cases of disobedience of your pet. In the process of training it is important to maintain consistency and perseverance towards the dog. But it is considered unacceptable to offend the pet, all classes, without exception, should not be a burden for the Doberman and you.

During this period, the following rules should be grafted, which include:

• movement of the dog near the owner, even when the dog is on a leash;
• return to the owner on the first order;
• the Doberman must have restraint, in other words, at the command of the owner to sit, lie or stand on the spot, not disrupting without permission;
• Do not eat food from the earth or the hands of strangers.

This period is difficult, since it is then that puberty of your pet begins. Weakening threatens disobedience due to rebellious feelings awakened inside. Here it is important to closely monitor the Doberman and in any disobedience to stop it at the root, but without showing cruelty.

There will also be visible flaws, so it is important not to miss the moment and correct the mistakes made in the process of education.

Smart individuals of this breed learn quickly, however, you should still approach the process with full responsibility. The first lessons of training should not exceed 10 minutes. Later, the length of time for training can be gradually increased. In the first year, the dog must be taught the following commands.

• A place! In the process of educating and becoming oneself as a head over a dog, this is one of the main skills that should be instilled at the time of getting used to a nickname. Thus, the puppy will learn discipline, which ultimately will simplify the control of the Doberman.
• To me! Here we have in mind the approach to the owner, that is, to you, regardless of what the dog is doing. It is necessary to execute the command with a voice or a special gesture. To get used to a pet, you should use toys or some kind of treat, along with approval.
• Phew From the first months the pet must know which items it is forbidden to touch.
• Beside! It is considered one of the most difficult to master teams, which for this reason must be worked out constantly.
• Sit, lie down, stand! Training Dobermann in place is important as much as other teams. In this position, the dog must be certain time to form an understanding of what they want from it.
• Aport! The development of skill occurs through the game. The dog needs to be taught to run after the objects abandoned by the owner, after which he must bring them back, in order to fit toys or an ordinary stick.

Training in the designated list of teams that are aimed at developing the discipline of a dog begins, as a rule, from the age of six months. In general, it is recommended to entrust this occupation to professionals in this field who are purposefully engaged in developing certain commands from the Dobermans by means of a training system.

The main objective of the entire course is to form obedience to the basic commands and skills required by the dog in the future. In addition, the purpose of the Doberman is determined, which can be divided into three groups:

• hunter;
• security guard;
• companion.

After completing the course, the dog will be awarded the appropriate diploma.

Punishment also plays an important role, and this process should be approached with all seriousness. For example, obstinate and independent dogs of this breed with a lack of control will be very disobedient and wayward. As a result, the dog may lie on the bed, gnaw home furniture, shoes.

A puppy will be enough to strictly scold, an older dog from six months is allowed to punish with a blow of the folded newspaper. Also, the dog will understand the discontent of its owner if it temporarily limits its play with a favorite toy.

It is important to remember that the Doberman, who sees the leader in his master, will be more willing to master the basic rules of behavior in the house and on the street. It should also be understood that knowledge of the theory will be reasonably supported by watching video tutorials. This will help prevent gross mistakes in education and not cause aggression against the owner and other inhabitants of the house.
