🐾 #TrainingTuesday with Oliver! 🐾 Training took a little pause while Oliver’s best buddy focused on Therapy Dog training and certification, but now it's Oliver's turn to shine! We’re revisiting the basics and gearing up to tackle some specific areas that need a bit of extra attention. Thanks to Drew @thek9expert for knowing just what Oliver needs to succeed! Training isn’t a “one and done” situation—it’s an ongoing adventure with plenty of twists and turns along the way. Especially with a young Doberman, it’s so much more than just commands—it’s a bonding experience that strengthens the relationship between you and your dog. 🐕❤️ Remember, training is more for you than it is for your dog! No matter how many Dobermans you’ve had, each one is unique with their own needs. Even experienced owners may discover new challenges with a dog that has different instincts, quirks, and energy levels. From Obedience to Agility, Rally to Scent Work, Fast Cat to Dock Diving—there are endless ways to explore with your working breed dog! The journey of growth and learning never ends, and it’s all about the adventure you share. #TrainingJourney #WorkingBreed #DobermanTraining #BondingThroughTraining #DogTrainingAdventures #OliverTheDoberman #theK9Expert

🎾 #TrainingTuesday with Jester! 🎾 During the day, Jester helps his mom with chores, but when Dad comes home, it’s time for agility training and more ball time! 🐾 Jester started agility classes at 6 months old, but safety was always the priority. Dobermans shouldn’t do weight-bearing activities like jumping at full height until their bones and joints are fully developed. Jester didn’t jump at standard height until he was 18 months old, after getting the all-clear from X-rays. Agility is a great way to bond with your dog, building teamwork and trust. It’s not just about speed—it’s about accuracy and safety! For example, when tackling the "A" frame, dogs must touch the yellow sections at the beginning and end to protect them from launching dangerously. In beginner Novice A, the focus is on completing the course accurately within 90 seconds. Speed comes later! Since Jester is super ball-motivated, his mom made a custom paracord tug toy that encloses his favorite ball. It’s the ultimate reward for him during training. In busy trial environments with lots of dogs, people, and distractions, tugging with his ball keeps his focus right where it belongs—on Dad! Of course, Jester’s first trial didn’t go as planned. After being measured for his height class by the judge, Jester got into the ring and… oh my! So many new people to meet! He had to say hello to the nice judge who measured him and all the friendly workers nearby. Unfortunately, visiting the judge is an automatic DQ. But that’s part of the journey! Back to training, more tugging and ball rewards, Jester’s skills continue to improve. Toys aren’t allowed in the competition ring, but you can participate as FEO (For Exhibition Only). This allows dogs to practice in a trial setting while using their favorite toy as a reward. Check out Jester’s first FEO run! Jester completed the course beautifully, impressing the judge who said it was one of the best FEO runs she’d seen! T

Ethel and Agility Training

🐾 It's #TrainingTuesday 🐾 and today, we’re spotlighting one of our wonderful adopters and her talented girl, Ethel (formerly Ziva)! Doberman Underground requires all adopters to enroll their new dog in a training class with a professional trainer within two months of adoption. While some applicants may think their experience makes additional training unnecessary, we know from experience that every dog has unique needs, and training is key to successful adoptions. Not only does training provide valuable socialization, but it strengthens the bond between the dog and adopter. Dobermans are a working breed and training gives them the challenge and job they crave. From basic obedience to therapy work, tricks, agility, scent work, and even dock diving—there’s a training path for every personality. Today, we’re thrilled to share Ethel’s journey in agility! Her adopter writes: “Two years ago, Ethel bounced into our home—an enthusiastic, high-energy Doberman with boundless curiosity and no formal training. It was clear from the start that Ethel craves learning and has a tireless appetite for it! While other dogs might lose focus during class, Ethel is just getting warmed up. Agility has been the perfect challenge for her brilliant mind! Every week, we tackle new obstacles and commands, and it’s so rewarding to see her excel. Agility is not just about the obstacles; it’s about teamwork and learning to communicate better. We’re having a blast, and the joy on both our faces says it all!” Great job, Kerri and Ethel! Training is so much more than obedience—it’s a foundation for building lifelong trust, fun, and growth! 🐾
