How to Deal With a Neurotic Doberman

Comment

The Doberman Pinscher is smart, energetic and territorial which makes it an excellent watchdog. These same qualities can lead to problems if they are not properly channeled. Dobermans that are not well-socialized sometimes become aggressive out of fear or overprotective tendencies. An untrained Doberman can become mistrustful, neurotic and suspicious of strangers which can lead to biting without provocation. An adult Doberman Pinscher can be retrained to make it easier to handle but it will take time, patience and a steady commitment from the owner or trainer.

Instructions

Establish yourself as the alpha personality. Doberman Pinschers are more likely to respect and follow the instructions of a person they perceive as dominant. Be firm and consistent when giving commands. Do not tolerate stubbornness or nipping, even from young Dobermans, and maintain control at all times. If the dog is particularly stubborn, consider consulting a professional trainer or sending it to obedience school.

Give the dog plenty of exercise. Doberman Pinschers are lean, strong, energetic dogs that require plenty of exercise to avoid becoming restless and snappish. Avoid tying up the dog in one place for long periods of time.

Teach children to respect the Doberman's temperament. This breed of dog is not the type to tolerate teasing or mischief. Children in the home should participate in the dog's care but should not play roughly with it.

Watch for signs of agitation when the dog is around other animals. For example, if it acts aggressively toward other dogs or cats in the household, separate them. Do not allow them to be together unsupervised until the Doberman has learned to tolerate their presence.

Allow the dog to be handled by all members of the household as well as visitors while it is young. Socialized Dobermans are less likely to be overprotective of their owners if they learn to trust strangers.

Reward the Doberman Pinscher for good behavior and discipline it when necessary by being firm and speaking sharply to it. Never hit the dog.

Remove the dog from stressful situations. Doberman Pinschers are highly sensitive to loud noises and unexpected activity, which can cause them to react negatively. For example, if you are doing noisy construction in your home, you might want to relocate the dog until it is done.
