The main reason why we want our Dobermans to have obedience training is for better communication. Since humans don’t know how to puppy-talk or doggy-talk. We teach our dog to realize our words and follow them. Here are some important commands we are able to teach our dogs that is handy in everyday living.

“Leave it!”

This command is the most significant command since it’ll save you from suit. This is when you need your dog to put down something or divert his attention to something else. Well, this is kind of hard. If your Doberman is about to chasing a kid, Say ‘Leave it’; then restrain them or turn them around. Ensure that you have diverted his attention to something else. That’d be you. You may also use this command when you see your dog gnawing the paper, or ransacking the garbage can.

“Sit”

When you teach your dog to sit, simply say “Sit” then push his back part with one hand while you pull the leash on your other hand. Repeat the process till the dog responds without pushing his back. Make sure to reward your dog with food or praise when he is sitting.

“Stay”

Here, you will probably need another person to hold the little puppy while you command. First is to inform your dog the “sit” command. Once he is seated, let him know “stay” and the second person will hold the puppy while you walk 10 steps away from you. You could raise your hand while you assert the command in order for him to associate the hand gesture as “stay” command. Repeat the method till the dog obeys but limit it to five times each day for your Doberman to put up with it.

“Come”

Once your dog has learned the “Stay” command, simply tell your dog to “Come”. If he doesn’t, ask the second person to poke the dog forward. Make efforts to give him food treats or praise when he has reached you. You may train the “stay” and “come” command at the same time.

Tips:

During Doberman training, make sure you are consistent on your use of words and your rewards. Never punish for mistakes but instead rewards. This could inspire your Doberman to please you more than fear the training if it is associated with harm. Always give rewards to every followed command or wanted result. You can either use pats and praises or food treats as reward. Don’t reward for sloppy performance, because it will lead directly to sloppy obedience.
