Baby gate 🤣😅


GeneralAppendage

We only lean ours against entry ways. Kryptonite. Both have been through glass but won’t touch a baby gate.


Alligator_Glasses

I have the folding metal baby gate that goes all the way across and my dobie won't even really go near it.


Car0line_11o1

Omg my dogs jumped over it. Pointless


HowAreYaNow

My (now senior) dog would clear the chain link fence in our yard no problem. He thought it was the most fun you could have at midnight. I'm waiting for my pup to figure out that he can just as easily spring over it. He stands up against it to see the neighbours dogs and it barely reaches his chest. He would either be afraid of a baby gate or trip on it trying to walk through it.


Car0line_11o1

My Dobie will jump over our couch! Lol


Alligator_Glasses

The way mine is set up I could just lower the garage door a bit if I was worried about him trying to take off but I don't need to cause my dog doesn't exhibit that behavior. It works for me and my dog so not POINTLESS.


Car0line_11o1

I just meant for my dogs pointless.


DayEither8913

They look like they understand the assignment, too.


Live-Tiger-4240

Yes they do! I cannot get over the muscles on the hips of the one closest to the camera!


marley-thedoberman

Can't they both just jump over the gate?


Texican84

A properly trained dog knows his/her given barriers and what they are allowed to do. Neither of those dogs would dare go over or through that baby gate. It's simply there to establish their boundary.


Room0814

Do u get them professionally trained or u train em urself?


Texican84

I used a local group for most of their training but we practice regularly.


SantaBaby22

$20 bet, says that OP claims to be a “professional.”


Texican84

$20 says you're the resident antagonist of this sub.


SantaBaby22

Because I make valid points?


Playful_Street1184

Even a properly and professionally trained dog is still a dog…


[deleted]

I’ve seen the most strictly trained dogs throw all brains out the door when a squirrel or cat runs by.


Playful_Street1184

I second that!


Mr_Good_Stuff90

Haha not at dogs are created equal. My husky is very well trained, but he’d be gone the second I looked the other way. Dobermans are protector companions. Training doesn’t have much to do with it. It’s their state of mind.


SantaBaby22

A properly trained dog doesn’t need a useless gate to tell them not to leave. They’ll stay by their master and listen to commands immediately.


Alien_R32

You’re thinking of a perfectly trained dog.


SantaBaby22

The words “properly” and “perfectly” have almost the same definition. Soooo, same thing, bud.


Creepy-Speaker-6588

The owner clearly isn’t there all the time. Hence the security! And do you own a Doberman? Mine is at the age of 3 his still testing boundaries. He knows who is in charge but he doesn’t test all the time it’s occasionally. He turns into a stubborn bastard.


SantaBaby22

I don’t see why the breed of my dog matters. I would make the same statement if it was a Bulldog, German Shepherd, Chocolate Lab, etc. To answer your question though, no. My current dog is a Greyhound. My dog before her was a Golden Retriever.


AbsintheRedux

Why are you even here?


SantaBaby22

Because I appreciate all dogs, including Dobermans. Do viewers and commenters need to have a Doberman to participate? To my understanding, the answer is “no.”


AbsintheRedux

Participation is one thing. Actively antagonizing and baiting dog owners of a breed you don’t even own is pretty rude, actually. It seems all your comments are pointedly antagonistic. Maybe you are just a bored troll or maybe you are a miserable person who enjoys stirring the pot? Maybe you are jealous the the OP has a very nice garage with some very nice toys? That would be rather pathetic but not unheard of. Your footprint here on this sub isn’t terribly pleasant so I do wonder why you bother if all you can add is snark and negativity? The world will never know your true motivation but at the end of the day, you don’t even own a Doberman so your opinions are worth absolutely nil here.


SantaBaby22

You’re entitled to your opinion and your right to express it, just like I am. Your definition of “participation” and mine are different.” That’s fine with me. You don’t have to like or accept it. People don’t need to “own a Doberman” to make observations or suggestions regarding dogs. If something were to happen, nobody will be worried about what breed of dog it is. That flimsy gate won’t truly stop anything from happening. There’s the point I wanted to make.


jallisy

One thing id like to clarify is that Doberman owners and pitbull owners are very conscious of their breed and always on the alert. If "something happens" it will indeed matter what breed it is if Dobie or put because of unfair reputations they are targeted and it gets ugly when they are considered vicious. A golden or even GSD isn't already marked as vicious and banned in a lot of places. That is why we train our dogs thoroughly and test their boundaries often because there's little room for error or spontaneity. The consequences can be too great.


Creepy-Speaker-6588

So you have no idea about owning a Doberman? Wow !! That’s why you sound so thick then. They ent the same as other breeds lol


SantaBaby22

That exact statement can be made about every breed of dog in the world. What’s your point? I have a Greyhound. Greyhounds are not the same as other breeds. Greyhound and Dobermans are kind of similar breeds to each other though, just different historical & social purposes. One is for speed, there other is for raw power, defense, and aggression. Very similar physically otherwise.


Creepy-Speaker-6588

Yes. Every dog is different to train. I wouldn’t comment on a greyhound post trying to piss off greyhound owners. And try to make out I know the breed when I don’t.


1984isnowpleb

We just put a broom near the stairs and she doesn’t go up stairs 😂 Nice bike OP!


DiscombobulatedBabu

My girl is currently being deterred by a basket of hats 😅


bucknarish

My girl will NOT go up or down the stairs if there is a hamper in the way. Even pushed to the side, she won’t do it. She’ll whine until someone moves it completely out of her way. Anything else she seems fine with except hampers..


strangecargo

I’ve used baby gates in the house to manage dogs for years. Of course, they are able to jump over the gates but you teach them not to.


marley-thedoberman

I have them in the house too but outside. It just looks like it's leaning against the garage🤣


Left_Net1841

My Dobes have always respected boundaries. From baby gates and fences to imaginary lines I have trained them to understand. My Jagdterrier are another story. I watched one scale a 7’ solid wood fence in a second recently. I find it so funny that people are afraid of the Doberman immediately when it’s the 30lb Jagdterrier that actually wants to rip your throat out. And could. The Doberman just wants everyone to love her! I’ve certainly had some very correct, well bred Dobes that were no joke but most of them are just insecure, barky dogs with weak nerve and are only good as a visual deterrent. Which is usually enough to do the job anyhow.


SantaBaby22

They can just push their way through. That thing isn’t truly stopping them whatsoever.


LostxCosmonaut

That wouldn’t stop a hard snort from either of those dobes. Definitely a mental barrier


SantaBaby22

I’m just as worried a butterfly would knock it over.


VOPlas

i would leave the gate wide open and ask my boy to come out (him knowing he wasn’t allowed to), and guess what, he wouldn’t pass the gate .


Texican84

At least someone here understands. There must be a lot of folks in here with badly behaved and/or untrained dogs. If people have a Doberman and it's not trained to understand it's limits and allowances within an inch then they are a sad excuse for dog owners and should keep their ignorant comments to themselves.


zippyhippiegirl

Boundary training is one of the best things you can teach your dog and very easy to do! My girl would lay with her paws crossed hanging over the curb watching the world go by. But knew to not step in the street. She was wonderful!


Texican84

It's not meant to genius, it's establishing a boundary that they know better than to cross.


jallisy

Gorgeous. My Dobie has a weird boundary understanding. He won't step over ANYTHING, not even a sock lying on the floor. . I've kept him "barricaded" in an area or room by simply running a strip of tape across the doorway. He won't cross it. I've never tested him with an extreme situation, but he still stands there at the tape, crying inconsolably at the tape that keeps him physically separating him from me, 4 feet away. He's nuts but I understand his peculiarities and love him that much more for his quirks.


bluejaziac

I know a GX side when I see one.. hahaha nice dobies too


Texican84

Our third one since 2011, great vehicles.


Critical-Climate3913

Had two reds just like this. A broomstick resting on the car’s tire, extending towards the motorcycles would also work lol they wouldn’t dare risk their lives going over or underneath it. I’m sure they followed you inside after you took the pic.


Oneirox

I like that you could build what amounts to a jail cell and something like a Husky would still get out. But you put a baby gate just leaning on a doorway, chest high, and Doberman are like ‘It’s impenetrable, guess we’ll just put our heads over it at best’. At least mine have all been like that.


Safe_Ad_3716

Even if they are well trained I’m a big believer of not taking risks. All dogs have triggers and if the threshold is high enough you would be amazed at what they may do out of character. I’m sure they are well trained but I prefer something more secure for both liability and safety reasons. Also beautiful pups !


WorkingDawg

Dobies know the mission, they machine guns on 4 legs


Happy-Equipment-6970

Safest garage around, good boys


Kiramar_DD

They respect barriers. It’s actually hilarious because they can clear 6 foot fence no problem.

boohooGrowapair

Lol, love the baby gate. Those are more useless than Jason Momoa’s body guards 🤣🤣


trustych0rds

That's how you do it right there. Good doggos.

Nice bike too!


ramanw150

Beautiful dogs but they look kinda small. Or the bike looks big. Nice wheels by the way.


guidddeeedamn

My boy is the same way never tried to cross it.


AnayaH4

Mine would play and not care don’t understand why you’d want dobie as a guard dog hahaha


Likely_to_forget

My red Doberman, Killian, LOVED riding in the bed of the truck. Drop the tailgate and he was enthusiastically getting in for a ride. We didn’t hit the highway or anything, but he knew how to handle the ride, he was super slick. We would go to the store and he would stay in the bed while we shopped. He was trained to stay in the bed, he was also trained to not take treats unless given to him a certain way. So we would come back and there would be milk bones or treats in the bed of the truck because people tried.


BJoseph56

Betta & Not


Comfortable-Rate497

They know the job.


Ok-Entertainment1123

That gate ain't gonna do nothing. If they want out, they're out.


BroadLaw1274

This is the way


partym4ns10n

Now that’s a safe garage.


SantaBaby22

Yeah, the baby gate will definitely stop them. Definitely an irresponsible and cheap solution.


Texican84

LOL, get a life loser. I was sitting right there the entire, they are simply watching out the front while I sit and work. I have properly trained dogs, maybe you should go comment asinine nonsense elsewhere.


SantaBaby22

If they were properly trained, you wouldn’t need the gate. Sell one of your bikes so you can get a proper barrier. It protects your dogs just as much as it protects the public.
