All About Training Doberman Pinscher Dogs and Puppies

Properly training the Doberman pinscher requires time and patience. Highly intelligent and receptive to positive reinforcement, the Doberman is a willing companion who is eager to learn. However, because they are large breed of dog and due to the fact that they do have a lot of energy, it's highly recommended that you enroll your Doberman pinscher puppy into early obedience courses. As a puppy gets bigger, you'll find adult obedience courses much easier and you may discover that your athletic Doberman pinscher enjoys doggie sports, such as Frisbee catching agility training.
If you do choose to train your Doberman at home, there are a few guidelines to follow. First, don’t try to train your Doberman in your living room. The Doberman is an extremely active breed that needs lots of space to run. Similarly, the Doberman Pinscher’s intelligence dictates that he will not be responsive to boring training; he needs space and excitement. So, begin your Doberman training in a spacious area and be well-armed with plenty of fetching-for-reward type tricks.
Finally, the temperament of your Doberman depends in part on your treatment of him during training. As his trainer, you should be firm yet kind with some measure of authority. For a sweet tempered dog, avoid yanking on his lease, using an overly harsh tone and never punish your Doberman by hitting him.
