Doberman Pinschers, contrary to popular belief are very friendly and are far from aggressive. Doberman Pinschers are easy to train and are often times trained to be therapy dogs, rescue dogs, guard dogs, police dogs, and are even trained to perform duties for the military. Doberman Pinscher are very protective of their owners and want nothing but their owners satisfaction. Doberman Pinschers get along very well with other pets and children, despite their size and aggressive appearance.
Doberman Pinschers are also very well behaved and require very little training. The biggest problem you’ll ever run into while training your Doberman will probably be training them to stop jumping. As I mentioned before, Doberman Pinschers are very friendly dogs and get along with nearly everybody. When they meet new people they’ll often times jump to play with them. This is not an acceptable behavior and its important that you train your Doberman to resist it. Not everyone is comfortable having a large dog jumping up on them, and in today’s society you may very well end up with a lawsuit on your hands.
The first thing you need to train your Doberman Pinscher to do is resisting jumping on you and your family. This is the primary base that we will build the rest of the training off of. If your Doberman won’t resist jumping on you they’ll never learn to not jump on strangers.
Training your Doberman to resist jumping on friends and strangers is slightly more difficult because many times people will assume this is an accepted behavior and will reward your dog with praise. The only way to really enforce this is by informing your guests of what they should do in the case that your Doberman Pinscher jumps on them.
If you can consistently reinforce these methods your Doberman Pinscher will stop jumping in no time.
