Will Atherton Doberman Show Educational and informative videos from Will Atherton covering everything you could want to know about the incredible Doberman dog breed.
Are you struggling to look like a normal human being? Do you look like you haven't seen a shower in six months? Does your appearance make people doubt your credibility? If so, this is the channel for you!
Honestly if you want to reduce your Dobermanns reactivity the only way is to exercise them enough to lower their natural anxiety ridden nature. People often don't realise just how much physical and mental stimulation this breed needs. If you aren't looking for a jogging partner and a companion that will take up all your free time I'd suggest looking for something else.
Just had a new born baby he is 4 months old but my partner wants dog a Doberman or mallionios can’t decide yet he is willing to train and exercise and train the dog and which would be the best option need advice pls
I run him up and down steep grassy hills , I throw the ball down the hill and he goes down and so do I and then I throw the ball up the hill and he runs up so do I. When I get tired I get him on flat ground and I throw and he runs and brings it back. Check this out, hes only 3 months. A European black XL bone. He's a real maniac. We live alone in a house with a fenced in backyard im a successful retired WWF pro wrestler I train everyday. Hes going to give me a real run for my money when he's grown. Listen to me, these dog's are so unreal and so smart. They are nonstop if you let them but Im his leader and he knows it. You have to be a real man's man 💪 to have one. I love him very much and he sticks to me wherever I go. God has blessed me with this handsome dog and I take care of him like the son I never had. His name is Rocky !
I don't trust dobermans. Never have, I never will and I've been around a lot of them. They have all been sneaky bastards that like to turn around and bite you when you least expect it.
I hope I PRAY nobody watches this video… so First big LIE … Sometimes dogs(any kind) is afraid and traumatized case the cage ,., Depends on the owner to pay “ ATTENTION “. I mean .. no matter what you say or heard Every DOG is different (just like humans).
Love your work, Will, but the word, “adult” is important with regards to the Dobermann’s exercise requirements. So many owners expect a pup to require 2 hours of daily exercise resulting the inevitable hip or shoulder joint damage, resulting sometimes even in the need for amputation. It is a gorgeous large breed that requires *exactly* the required amount of exercise in early years and no more. Less is more for this breed’s early months.🤝
Thx for this information ... way too many people buy one of this magnificent creatures, not knowing what they really get into. Bad consequences always for the animal
What I do with my dog should not be mandated by the government, that goes for cropping and docking, same as spaying and neutering! I never understood why people want the government standing over them, beating them down with more rules
The European doberman is much larger up to 120lbs of muscle, with different bone structure and is unbelievably beautiful but the smaller American Doberman is shown here.
Do you have experience with dogs that are rescues? I have a Doberman that was cage aggressive so they kept her in the cage for 24 days while at the shelter. She is showing major signs of anxiety when I’m gone, which includes chewing at the door frame from the door that I leave and pooping and peeing in lots of different places… She was barking incessantly and that has gotten better (gone for three hours today and she was not barking). Just not sure if this is normal because of her being a rescue and she might stop once fully adjusted or I really need to put these methods into practice. (she has only been with me for 10 days)
Which breed is better in terms of handling itself alone with other dogs for extended periods of time (the one with less separation anxiety from the owner)?
That was outstanding! The young man was very good. This was very informative. Stubborness, demanding need like😢s training 1 to 2 hrs of physical exercise. Physical issues like heart, pulmonary. Bad genetics from inbreeding. Thanks that was great.
In the late 1800`s the Doberman Pinscher was a shaggy athletic mutt that lacked intelligence it needed a major makeover then it`s creators Louis Doberman and Karl Friedrich gave the Doberman exactly what it needed. They included DNA from a new source in Germany the Italian Rottweiler this changed everything. The Doberman became fearless and it`s bite was no longer a joke its coat was smooth beautiful and sleek it is one of the smartest breeds anywhere.
My doberman does not guard against me or any other person. She guards against dogs, but ONLY dogs she doesn't know/like. Only physical corrections stop it, but she does it against the next day.
17 minute video with a whole bunch of talking and yet zero useful info. If you guys are looking for training tips with your Dobe get doberman specific Trainer, who is familiar with the breed. Dobermans are a bit different. Verbal corrections do not work with Dobermans and unfortunately the longer you let this behavior go on the worse it’ll get. Redirection and distraction are a path to disaster. The only thing that works is correction and it’s not verbal. When they bite you and you make sounds, you are just seen as a squeaky toy. The more they bite the more you squeak the more fun it is . Don’t waste your money on his webinars or whatever. He has no idea what he’s talking about. He might be able to train a Chihuahua but not a Doberman.
What an awesome informative video! I really love how you explain the reasoning and why something works. I have seen many videos on this topic, but was never made aware of the body language aspect. I suspect this will be useful for any correction, even outside of biting. I will be getting my doberman puppy soon and these videos are helping me prepare so much! This has been one of the best videos I've seen so far.
The American Pitbull is not really a guardian breed. It is more of a catch/game breed bred and used for things like wild boar hunting, bull baiting, bear baiting, and dog combat. But even still, it is a surprisingly versatile breed. It's even more versatile than the doberman. I know some may disagree, but think about it. There are successful police Pitbulls, therapy Pitbulls, and personal protection Pitbulls, but where are the good doberman weight pulling dogs or wild boar hunting dogs like there are with Pitbulls?
If you have a cropped and docked Doberman in the UK, expect to be verbally and possibly physically assaulted. You will be in constant fear of being judged (quite right in my opinion) so please don't buy a mutilated puppy. 😢
