postheadericon The Importance Of Doberman Obedience Commands

Dobermans really enjoy a daily dose of mental stimulation, just as much as they appreciate their walk so you can teach your dog an endless number of obedience commands as long as you are consistent with them.

The most used and overused command word is “No!” When used properly, this word is extremely effective. Whether your dog is chewing something that he shouldn’t be or getting into the garbage again, the word “No!” means for him to stop. Some people make the mistake of using this word to even warn their dog to not act a certain way but this is ineffective. “No!” is disciplinary word that should never be used to prevent a certain action or it begins to lose its meaning. This is a word that should never be yelled but rather offered in a strong, firm tone.

For those times when you anticipate that your dog is going to bark at the mailman or lunge at the rabbit hopping by, “Leave it!” is the command to use. Of all of the common Doberman obedience commands, this is the only preventative one. As you learn your dog’s traits and postures, you will know when he is going to do something that he shouldn’t be doing. “Leave it!” gives your dog the opportunity to correct his own behavior before he does it. If he acts in a preferred way, it is always a good idea to follow up with “Good leave it!” so he knows that his behavior was correct and appreciated.

To teach your dog manners and constantly remind him of your alpha position, the “Wait!” command is effective and important. This word gives you control over your Doberman in any situation and it tells him that you are in charge. “Wait!” should be used before your dog is allowed to go outside and then again when he comes inside, which gives you the opportunity to clean his dirty paws on those rainy and snowy days.

Release doberman obedience commands are important as well, especially for guard dogs. After all, you want your dog to retain an intruder, not necessarily eat one. “OK” is a common release word. It can easily be taught through a simple game of fetch. Every time your dog is going to give you the ball, say your release command. He will learn that he is suppose to give you what he has when he hears that particular word.
