The Doberman is a breed of dog that for many years, and still today, has been considered dangerous. However, the character of the animal will not depend on the breed, but rather on the education it receives.
This dog is a very affectionate furry that likes to learn new things a lot, so if you have just acquired one, we are going to tell you how to train a doberman.
What do I need to train a Doberman?
To educate your friend you will need the same thing that you would need if you wanted to teach any other dog: patience, respect, affection, treats and time. You will not need a punishment collar, a tool that could also do a lot of damage to the animal.
The most important thing to teach the Doberman is the behavior that you have with him. Of course, he has to learn some basic rules of coexistence, but he must always do it little by little, knowing at all times that he can trust you and that you are not going to do him any harm.
How to educate it?
The first thing to know is that this is a breed that has a medium-high energy level, which means that it needs to exercise every day to be happy and calm. Thus, it is important to take him out for a walk and / or run, from an early age. With two months it is a good time to start taking him out to the street so that he gets used to the smells of other dogs and people and to the noises.
In addition, at home you will have to teach him some basic rules, as »sit» (sit down), »still», »down» (down or lying down), or even to give the leg. On this article We explain how you can do it. Also, if you do not want him to climb on the furniture, do not let him ever do so as otherwise he would be confused.
Whenever he does something wrong, such as chewing on shoes, don't mistreat him. Ask yourself why it does it and look for a solution. The most common is that he behaves like this because he is bored; if so, take all the time you can to play with him. Thus, this behavior will tend to disappear on its own.
The Doberman is a dog that can become the best friend of the human being very easily. You just need to be respected and a lot of love so that you can get the best of yourself.
