The Hound – Doberman, is an intelligent, agile, and extremely endurance dog breed that is often used to track prey and assist hunters in their hunting. However, training is essential for your Doberman Pinscher to be a great tracker. Next, I'll share some exclusive cheats to help you train your Doberman.
1. Build trust and intimacy
Before embarking on any form of training, it is crucial to establish trust and intimacy with your Doberman. You need to give it enough love and attention so that it can feel your kindness. In addition, you need to respect the Doberman Pinscher and understand its needs and emotions so that you can ensure a smooth training process.
2. Step-by-step training plan
Training a hound requires patience and time. Having a step-by-step training plan for your Doberman Pinscher will help ensure that the training process goes smoothly. You can start with simple commands such as "come", "follow me", etc., and gradually increase the difficulty and complexity. Make sure there is a clear start and end to each training session and give the Doberman Pinscher plenty of time to understand and carry out your instructions.
3. Establish a good foundation
Before you start training, it's important to make sure your Doberman Pinscher has good basic behavioral habits. For example, make sure it doesn't bite people or objects at will, doesn't bark, doesn't defecate in the open, etc. Training of these basic behaviors can be started when it is still a puppy, so that by the time it starts training tracking skills, it already has good behavioral habits.
4. Cultivate concentration
Retrievers need to have a high level of concentration and reaction speed. During training, you need to develop your Doberman's concentration in various ways, such as stimulating its senses through sounds, smells, food, etc. At the same time, you need to get the Doberman Pinscher used to reacting immediately after hearing your commands, so that it can react quickly when tracking its prey.
5. Follow-up training
Tracking training is a crucial part of training a Doberman. You can start with simple tracking exercises in the park or courtyard, and gradually increase in difficulty and complexity. In tracking training, you need to give your Doberman Pinscher enough space and time to track the target, while also making sure that it doesn't get too excited and hurt itself or others. In addition, you can improve your Doberman's tracking skills by increasing the difficulty of tracking by using inducers, odor interference, etc.
6. Rewards and Punishments
Both rewards and punishments are necessary tools during training. When a Doberman Pinscher carries out your instructions correctly, you should give it appropriate rewards such as compliments, treats, etc. When it violates the rules or misbehaves, you need to give appropriate punishments, such as brief isolation or serious criticism. In this way, you can establish positive reward mechanisms and negative punishment mechanisms that will help Dobermans Pinscher better understand and carry out your commands.

By building trust and intimacy, a step-by-step training plan, developing focus, tracking training, rewards and punishments, and more, you will be able to successfully train a great hunting dog.
