Important Commands In Doberman Obedience Training
The real reason why we want our Dobermans to have obedience training is for better communication. Since humans do not know the way to puppy-talk or doggy-talk. We teach our dog to realize our words and follow them. Here are some vital commands we can teach our dogs that is helpful 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 sort 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 would be you. You can also use this command when you see your dog chewing the newspaper, 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 process till the dog responds without pushing his back. Make sure to reward your dog with food or praise when he’s sitting.
“Stay”
Here, you will probably need another person to hold the dog while you command. First is to tell your dog the “sit” command. Once he is seated, let him know “stay” and the second person will hold the puppy while you walk ten steps away from you. You could lift up your hand while you are saying the command for him to associate 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 tolerate 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 nudge the dog forward. Make sure 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 will inspire your Doberman to delight you more than fear the training if it is connected with harm. Always give rewards to every followed command or wanted result. You may either use pats and praises or food treats as reward. Don’t reward for shoddy performance, as it will lead on to shoddy obedience.
