Critical Commands In Doberman Behavior Training

The main reason why we’d like our Dobermans to have obedience training is for better communication. Since humans do not understand how to puppy-talk or doggy-talk. We teach our dog to understand our words and follow them. These are some important commands we will be able to teach our dogs that is helpful in everyday living.

“Leave it!”

This command is the most vital command since it will protect you from lawsuit. 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. Make sure that you have diverted his attention to something else. That will be you. You may also use this command when you see your dog chewing the paper, or ransacking the rubbish 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 method until the dog responds without pushing his back. Make sure to reward your dog with food or praise when he’s sitting.

“Stay”

Here, you’ll potentially need another person to hold the puppy while you command. First is to tell your dog the “sit” command. After he is seated, tell him “stay” and the second person will hold the little dog while you walk ten steps away from you. You might hold up your hand while you are saying the command in order for him to link the hand gesture as “stay” command. Repeat the method till the dog obeys but limit it to 5 times per 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 does not, ask the second person to poke the dog forward. Make sure to give him food treats or praise when he has reached you. You may also train the “stay” and “come” command at the same time.

Tips:

During Doberman training, ensure you are consistent on your use of words and your rewards. Never punish for mistakes but instead rewards. This could motivate your Doberman to please you more than fear the training if it is connected with harm. Always give rewards to every followed command or wanted result. You can either use pats and praises or food treats as reward. Do not reward for shoddy performance, as it will lead on to sloppy obedience.
