Are Dobermans smart and easy to train?
Yes and no to both. Most Dobermans are eager and willing to learn and enjoy training sessions (don’t overdo with a young pup – they just don’t have the attention span). If you start young and teach your puppy its order in your “pack”, problems with training will be minimized. However, Dobermans tend to have more dominant personalities than some breeds and can be stubborn, so some care in training is recommended. Classes are extremely beneficial. A Doberman that thinks it’s the Alpha member of the pack can be trouble.
