I had to watch a Doberman for a few days a long time ago. He slept in bed with me and would jump out of bed and rush to any sound he heard in that house. Gotta be honest, probably best night sleep I ever had. Made you feel like if something happened in that house, this dog is not only going to find it, you'll be alerted to it long before you are in any danger.

Yep, same here.

[@janetritchie7499]

That very trait of Dobermans, being hyper attentive, is what saved my life. My Doberman and I were walking through our property which were some large fields with head-high grass behind our house. We'd walked there a lot on the narrow deer trails. The land was posted so no one was supposed to be there. My Doberman, Maxie, was ahead of me on the trail when she abruptly stopped and uttered a low growl. I tried to urge her on, but she kept throwing her body against my legs, trying to stop me from moving forward, and growling more loudly. Suddenly she leaped forward in the tall grass,, and I heard a loud scream. Turned out that Maxie had sunk her teeth into a man with a rifle who was hiding in the grass ahead of us. He stood up with Maxie holding onto his arm holding the gun. I had no weapon. I told the man to get the heck off my land and also told him that it was not deer season. I told him to hand over the gun and go back the way he came. At first, he acted like he'd refuse, but Maxie increased her grip in his arm, and he dropped the rifle, which I immediately picked up. I tod Maxie to "Release" as I held the gun pointed at the guy. I told him to leave and that he could come by the house later if he wanted his gun back. He turned and ran up the trail and out of sight. He never did come back for his gun. From then on, whenever I walked those trails, I carried a rifle with me.

[@user-wu3pk3su3d]

The ASPCA and Humane Society have issued statements regarding this. Each dog needs to be taken as an individual. And even with any dog that seems aggressive, it could be from fear. There are trainers who specialize in rehabilitating “aggressive” dogs and they completely change. It’s more that the people who have the dogs are bad or train them badly rather than bad dogs

I had a Doberman growing up named justice and she saved my sisters life. In 2004 my sister had just turned 2 and I was 6. We were playing in the backyard when my moms phone rang, there was some family emergency so for just a moment she stepped inside to talk on the phone in private. Shortly after my mom went inside I heard barking so I thought it was justice running around playing. Seconds later I heard my sister start crying When I turned around I saw a German shepherd and a Rottweiler look at my sister running full sped towards her barking. Out of nowhere Justice comes out and jumps on the Rottweiler tackling him only 5-10 feet away from my sister. After this both the German Shepard and Rottweiler ran away. Those 2 dogs went on to maul a mailman 2 days later and he ended up needed over 120 stitches. The mailman made a full recovery but sadly both dogs were put down. To this day I am just as mad as ever those dogs were killed because their owner didn’t train them, they didn’t know any better because they hadn’t been taught better. Luckily the owner was criminally charged and he was no longer allowed to own any pets. Shortly after the incident he moved. It’s upsetting dogs like Pitbulls or Rottweilers have this image in the publics view of being bad dogs because they’re not bad dogs, they have bad owners.

Also, a big one that I’ve had experience with before is that Dobermans will be 100% on another dog not giving it space, will screech and even nip hard at the other dog to play, and won’t back off when warned by the other dog. This can lead to serious problems if not checked. Source: I’ve encountered several Dobermans and plenty of them do it. I literally saw three in one day at the park all within 100 yards of waking and it happened every time. They’re super smart. They need correction and adjustments more than other dogs. If you are tired and just want a chill dog to walk, that’s not gonna be these. They need training on training. Also I have no bias against them as they are one of my fav dog breeds.

I guess it all depends on the dog you get because every Doberman I’ve dealt with is a great & loving dog.

[@pablo_the_destroyer]

For the people who want a dog like that 👇🏾

[@luckycatdad8369]

Dobe's are definitely pretty spazzy, lol. Also just an insane amount of energy. I had a Dobe years ago, I'd take him to the park and play fetch with one of those launch sticks for 45 minutes in the morning before work, then I'd come home at lunch for a quick walk. After work another 45+ minutes of fetch and training, then about a 20 minute walk before bed and some more training. All of that, just brought him down to the energy level of a normal dog. Not even close to tiring him out. He would go so hard sometimes his paws would start to bleed and I'd have to stop playing fetch but he didn't want to stop.

[@turdferguson1603]

Very protective and very loving. I owned a pure bred pitbull and a pure bred champion, Doberman. The Pitbull didn't have mean bone in its body and loved everyone. My Doberman was very intelligent, but naturally liked confrontation, especially from other dogs. Made him difficult at times.

[@patrickhughes477]

My dad had 4 at one time. Love this breed!

[@Jay-lc1vo]

Wish I could have visited your Dad with his Dobies

[@shale4408]

I’m not sure if I would say my Doberman is that way. She’s incredibly loyal, protective, level headed and always available to me. She’s never off just doing her own thing. ❤

[@marleneclough3173]

Mine were the sweetest dogs I have ever had wonderful family dogs vigilant but friendly. They followed my example if I was wary of someone they were if I was relaxed they were. Wonderful dogs

[@McLoathin]

I learned how to walk by hanging on to a Doberman. he was always there, always kind, never lost his cool, and he was perfect. would recommend 10 ⭐️s

[@gypsywanders]

I love dobbies as family dogs... Mine hâve Always been super attentive and somehow derpy at the same time. I think how you raise them plays a significant part

[@spark9of9creation]

I notice this with my Doberman when he’s on the lead, but when he’s off he’s just running around doing his own thing

[@brandon1661]

My uncle had a Doberman he got as an older dog and he was an amazing dog really sweet listened well and wouldn't hurt a flea

[@professional.commentator]

I almost got attacked by a doberman on the streets once. It was late at night so the doberman was probably being overprotective of its owner. But what happened was I literally just passed by the owner and her dog while talking on the phone with my parents, and then it almost grabbed my leg with its mouth but I was luckily able to dodge it and the owner also pulled the dog away at the same time. I remember literally being in shock because that was the first time a dog came that close to attacking me. And this was also a small, young doberman. I can't imagine what would've happened if it was a big one.

Hilarious since he's the exact opposite of a boogeyman for dogs 😂 nothing but treats and positive affirmations.

[@Ponygirl1111]

You are spot on Garrett! I have a Euro and an American, and even though they are 2 different creatures, they are never off duty. Some folks might get lucky and get a show line Dobi that is easier to manage, but for the most part, these dogs are just way too much for the average owner. They have a very high attention span, but it’s directed at their hyper vigilant situational awareness. I find that they are hard to train to heel, because they are bred to run ahead and behind and all around you, to make sure that all is clear.

[@louisbabycos106]

I had the honor of growing up as a young child with two Kimbertal super dobes . Great family dogs , intelligent, emotionally intelligent and knew when to go into protect mode .

[@stephanierichmond5393]

Dobies are real goofballs! They will definitely entertain you! Ours would make us laugh out loud with her antics! Best family dog! 🐾♥️

My Doberman is the best behaved and best looking dog anywhere we go and always checks back in with her pack and me

[@brettbeez]

I agree my doberman always stands out amongst other dogs and constantly gets compliments wherever we go on how beautiful he is.

[@peggyswander3744]

I've had 4 dobermans and they are the best looking dogs around.

Totally correct! I've got two and even though they both have different personalities, they both are always on, exactly like you say!

[@user-ih3gl5dq7e]

I had two Dobermans at the same time. They were amazing. I also had my two boys when I had my Doberman and I truly believe if trained properly and exercised properly and just truly loved and respected, they are amazing.❤❤

[@alveniascarborough179]

My dobey is my shadow. He’s not spacey at all but he is always watching and alerting and guarding. He is also super friendly to others who we are signal as “ok”, smart, funny, and easy to train. As an inexperienced do person I highly recommend dobies!!

My Doberman was never Squirrley, she was very protective, but she took commands very well. She even helped to raise a litter of kittens.

[@vivienekim]

I've met a super calming Doberman at the vet with my old dog years back. That dog walked in, lay down and was just with the owner and seemed very secure in itself. That presence calmed my dog down, who was deathly afraid of the vet and always shaking to her bones. That dog was so chill. Of course it's in the combination with a knowledgeable owner, but I immediately thought of that dog when this short came up.

[@copcuffs9973]

My neighbor USAF left his doberman home she looked at the meter reader then tucked tail and ran away from the gate as he opened it to hide behind a shrub on the far side of the yard. Once he'd left and shut the gate she ran back to the gate to bark at him as he was already leaving. 🤣 I didn't tell my neighbor his guard dog was a scaredy cat because it gave his wife a sense of (false?) security peace of mind. ✌️

We had one when I was a kid. She was very protective of us kids. She also got us in trouble. When we took off around the block when we weren't supposed to my mom would tell her to find the girls and she would bring her right to us.

That’s what I love about Dobermans. Makes me feel safe knowing she’s always on her game.

I've had Doberman's all my life. They are incredibly smart, protective, and loving. You are partially correct on that, they are a little Squirrelly. But there on point.. Great dogs. ❤️

Yessir they're great dogs but they need proper training if you're gonns take them out

Best dog ever owned. Great with my 3 year. I actually got her when my son was a new born. There bond is incredible. Very docile dog. She is the biggest leaner for a lap dog. 😆 At the same time she is very protective of her family... These dogs are territorial of their home when it comes to strangers knocking on the doors and walking in front of the homes.

[@carlo6912]

What a beautiful and powerful animal.

[@fordhammie]

Shes not a space cadet; shes ON DUTY... 😂

[@macmachine]

Our friends had a dobe-pinch in their recording studio. Great with them, but attacked 3 different musicians recording there, so they had to get rid of him. They're slightly nervy and on edge all the time.

[@pnutparker]

My Dobie saved my life on at least 3 separate occassions, only 1 of which did he need to act in an aggressive way. They are alert dogs but thats what you want in a family dog. I dont have kids but every time my dog was around children he immediately knew their safety was his priority.

[@annazagorodniy713]

My dog is so on alert anytime we're outside of our home... job st like you described. She scares the crap out of people with her instant reaction if strangers appear out of nowhere suddenly. She looks intimidating and very scary when she wants to scare away perceived danger with her bark, but in reality she's very kind, sweet and very loving once you are not a stranger to her.

[@terrysaunders2026]

[@miket8497]

They are good family dogs. A good friend of mine has 3 & is looking for her 4th. However, & I've owned them myself, I do think they have a tendency to be more nervous than something like a Bullmastiff.

[@blueflare3848]

He never said that they can’t be good family dogs.

[@primalcritters]

​@@miket8497 to be fair, they were once considered the elite protection dog because that's what they were bred for. But unfortunately they have been so watered down that they are complete nerve bags. Fact, you go buy a protection dog, they'll never sell you a doberman. They'll sell you a working line German Shepherd and second spot goes to the Malinois

[@_GandalfTheGrey_]

I was horribly misinformed about the doberman breed before getting mine for personal protection. I was told by breeders and trainers that the doberman is able to protect at the drop of a hat, very stable working dog if they’re from european bloodlines AND that they LOOOOVE to chill and be lazy with their owners when they aren’t working. Well idk what they were smoking but mine is ALWAYS ON exactly like you said, hard to focus for long periods of time, has a very hard time relaxing and will WHINE for hours for me to take him to go do bite work or just go outside and run. I work from home and so when i’m on zoom calls and he is on a down command but whining nonstop it is just unbearable. He is an amazing protection dog but he needs to be worked every day or else he gets whiny and even sad. He’s a drama queen. I am currently trying to find him a new home that wants his level of drive and will work him and hopefully switch to a Cane Corso as they can do personal protection and be lazy at home and chill as well as not being a whiny breed.
