Doberman Pinscher Training – Breed Specific Techniques For Faster and Easier Training

Here are a few Doberman Pinscher training tips:

1. Doberman Pinscher training begins as soon as you bring him home.

2. Take him for short walks to familiarize him with other people, places and strange noises.

3. Teach him the five basic commands of sit, stay, heel, down and come in a systematic manner. Begin with ‘sit’. Place your dog on your left and firmly give the command running your hand down your dog’s back to guide him. Praise him and hold him in the same position, then release your hand, praise him and give him a treat. Repeat this many times.

4. Next, teach him the ‘stay’ command by placing your hand in front of his nose and giving the command. Move just a step or two back in the beginning and tell him to sit and stay there. Gradually increase the distance as you move away from him and make him stay longer.

5. ‘Heel’ is to teach him not to lunge at anyone while walking by your side. Just say a firm ‘no’ whenever he tries to do that and give the leash a quick snap.

6. ‘Down’ will be the most complicated command to teach. Place your dog in the sit position, and say “down,” as you gently push his front legs out into the down position. Talk gently to him, stroke his back and praise him.

7. ‘Come’ is a command that he will love so long as you convince him it means a happy, fun experience. So, don’t call him to correct him, and he will obey you instantly.
