No matter if you're training your Doberman to be a protector or just for enjoyment, it is important that they have the right temperament. Females are more vulnerable to aggression and have a harder time trusting new people. Females may have fought with males for milk during their early development. However, a well-trained Doberman can be a wonderful family dog as well as a protection dog. Here are some tips to help you train your Doberman so that he can roam freely in your neighborhood.

A Doberman Pinscher is a gentle dog, but its outward appearance may scare small children. Although this dog breed loves to play, it can also be overprotective and knock a small child down if it gets excited. Doberman Pinschers love human company. They are happy to be left alone, but they also enjoy the freedom to roam.

Doberman Pinscher dogs can be used as protection dogs. They are intelligent, loyal, and alert. They are strong and agile, making them a great personal protection dog.

Once it does, praise it and let it sit. Repeat this procedure until it can perform the command on its own without assistance. This shouldn't take too long. This can be done quickly if the dog is well socialized.
