Why are Dobermans Man’s Best Friends

   Pets, especially dogs, can reduce stress, anxiety, and depression, ease loneliness, encourage exercise and playfulness, and even improve your cardiovascular health. Caring for an animal can help children grow up more secure and active. Pets also provide valuable companionship for older adults.

    If you see a “Beware of Dog,” sign, what dog do you instantly imagine being behind that fence? Chances are your mind is sobered up by the thought of a Doberman Pinscher. Bred to be lean, mean guard dogs, they will keep you and your family safe and frighten away annoying door to door salesmen. While they can be quite intimidating, some lines of the breed have been bred in recent decades to be calmer and gentler. Their sharp minds and loyal obedience make them easy to train. 

Highly Intelligent: Doberman are considered one of the top five smartest dog breeds in the world. This intelligence means they’re easily trainable.

Loyal: These dogs are naturally incredibly loyal and will bond very well to a family unit. They do have a tendency to pick out one family member and bond exceptionally close to that one person, but they also love just being “part of the pack”

People Oriented: Doberman Pinschers are very in-tune with people and will look you directly in the eyes while you’re speaking to them. They’re often called “velcro dogs” because they’ll stick to your side at all times..

Loving and Affectionate: The modern-day Doberman can be just as loving and affectionate as any lap dog. Be prepared for your 90-pound Doberman to climb up in your lap at every opportunity and beg you to be let up on your bed with you at night.

 Dobermans are generally great with kids that they’re raised with. They are great at being gentle and tolerant of young kids and babies. They can also be great with all kids if they are socialized from an early age. `Kids love affection. They love to give it, and receive it. Dobermans were bred to be very people-oriented which has a side effect of producing a dog that loves affection. Cuddling, endless petting, and kisses in the face are all greatly appreciated by these dogs. In fact, you might find your Dobbie demanding affection too often. Turn them loose on your kids and they’ll get all the affection they can handle.

  Whether it’s kids, other dogs, or other types of pets, the running theme here is that early socialization is key. When a Doberman is a young puppy, they’re curious about everything. Introducing them to as many situations, people, and other animals as possible will help to  ensure they become well-rounded adults.

 While good training is important for all canines, it's especially important for your  puppy. He's a big, strong boy, and needs to know right from wrong. He'll probably excel in puppy obedience training, because  he's smart, learns quickly and wants to please you. Dobermans have a reputation for not just picking up training quickly but retaining it. That means he should easily learn housebreaking if taught correctly and consistently.
