How do you teach a Doberman?

Answer 1

You should easily be able to train them they are the 5th smartest dog in the world! If you don't believe me Google it and it will say that.

The doberman is a hard breed to train because they just aren't smart dogs, they dont have the patential to stay focased that long. to train a Doberman you need to have that pastence and alot of treats but the easiest way to train it is when telling it to sit lay shake etc. You need to get them into the possition of the trick and keep them there and just repeat the words of the trick like sit sit sit sit sit sit. and just praise them when they stay .

THAT IS AN UNTRUE STATEMENT!!! DOBERMAN ARE ACTUALLY ONE OF THE SMARTEST DOG BREED IN THE WORLD!!! THE REASON THEY CAN BE HARD TO TRAIN IS THEY ARE ACTRUALLY TO SMART!!! BY BEING TO SMART THEY CAN FIGURE OUT HOW TO GET WHAT THEY WANT WITHOUT DOING WHAT YOU WANT THEM TO DO!!

Actually, the person above me is correct. Doberman Pinschers are one of the smartest dogs in the world. Yes, it is easier for an experienced owner/handler to train a Doberman, as they need to have a strong leader, but otherwise, they can be taught just about anything with great ease. Oh, and if you train any dog by repeating the command (ex. sit sit sit sit), it doesnt do the dog any good. It is best to say the command once while gently pushing down on his/her rump and wait until he/she sits. Once he/she does then reward them with treats and praise. I am an absolute Doberman fan for life, I love the breed and just despise people who know nothing about the breed and put up nasty comments like 'they arent smart' ect. Anyway, I hope this helps, and a Doberman is NOT stupid. =)
