Dobermann Training

Do you have a Dobermann that needs some training help? Natalie from Crazy Kind Calm dog training can help!

With over 900 dogs trained across the Macedon Ranges, Natalie understands the unique personality and needs that come with this wonderful breed.

Dobermanns are sleek, powerful dogs bred for personal protection. They're highly intelligent, athletic, and deeply loyal — forming an intense bond with their handler that makes them both wonderful companions and dogs that need experienced, confident guidance.

Common Dobermann traits and training needs

  • Naturally protective — can become over-guarding of family and territory without proper guidance
  • High energy and athleticism that needs daily vigorous exercise
  • Can be reactive on lead, particularly towards unfamiliar people and dogs
  • Sensitive and anxious despite their tough appearance — harsh methods backfire
  • Strong-willed and intelligent, requiring consistent, clear leadership
  • Prone to velcro-dog behaviour and separation anxiety

Dobermann owners know they have a deeply loyal dog who takes their role as protector seriously. If your Dobermann positions themselves between you and strangers, becomes anxious when you leave, or is reactive on walks, that protective instinct is working overtime. Despite their confident exterior, Dobermanns are surprisingly sensitive dogs who respond best to calm, consistent training that builds mutual trust.

Dobermann (and others) Success Stories

★★★★★ Google
"Nat knows her stuff and explains it in clear and really easily adoptable instructions. She has helped immensely with our pup who has a bit of anxiety around socialisation so that now we can walk calmly and it's great to have her at the end of emails to answer anything that comes up. Highly recommend Nat's approach, it's made a world of difference!"

"This is the second dog we have trained through Nat. Her calmness and her attention to detail is what we love. She is extremely patient with us which can be a huge help when we feel like we are failing. Our dogs are happier and there was no punishing or upsetting with any of our dogs so they still love us and there is no fear just respect and love. We appreciate Nat and her commitment beyond words and we have and will continue to recommend her to any and all who listen."
