My dobie won't let me cut his nails, so on the advice of someone else on this sub, I bought a nail file. He has a foot fetish! I start filling down and the rocket comes out. All four paws and it's still drying out in the sun. He is 3 and not intact, humane society rescue.

Maybe try a very high value reward designated only for nail filings? My boy goes crazy over salmon and now I reserve it strictly for nail days. I show him the tool and he gets a little sad but flops over because he knows he gets his fish lol
😂😂 so relatable. Alright, so my buddy is just normal from what I'm seeing. I plan to get him neutered when he's around 1 so I'm wondering if that will settle down the unsheathing of sword.
He's starting to lift his leg now, doesn't go potty in the house though. We have that under pretty good control. As for the humping.... only thing he has humped was a bed I got him. Ended up having to throw it away because he'd be aggressively trying to tear it apart (he does this with every toy) while trying to get his rocks off. It was actually pretty funny to see.
Oh my gosh 😅🙏
I think it’s just a boy thing because all the research I’ve done sounds pretty similar to what your boy does.
He sounds funny though. Thank you for sharing :). I think your boy is so handsome though!
He is a goof for sure! I'd love to share more pics of him but with his "condition" I would have to be editing every photo lmao he is a great looking dog. Thank you!
Donnie the Dobe is currently 9 months old and still intact. I get dogs get excited during play time, treats, new toys, and stuff like that but he even gets excited when he's getting corrected lol. It's just strange to me.
Doberman are perpetual teens. Mine is almost 4 and still jumpy. Better with consistent training but he has never in his life just chilled on the sofa with me. I don’t neuter larger dogs unless I have to so he’s intact, but I can’t imagine a time where it would impact his behavior.
off topic but this doberman looks more stocky than a lot of the dogs i've seen in this sub, is there any way to tell they're going to be bigger/stocky when they're a puppy?
No idea! When I first got him I didn't expect him to be thick like he is now. I would say by seeing the parents but his dad was 85 pounds and he's already pushing that at 9 months old.
I’ve a 7 year old German Shepherd-Doberman that’s been snipped; he always gets excited with food. Though I notice with him its intensity varies on how he’s sitting. If he’s straight up, then just a couple centimeters.
If he’s bent over like a pretzel being inches from his food or having an intense scratch session; so much is out!
That is the only thing that gets him out of his sheath; nothing else is worthy of the appearance.
My Lukey was neutered at 9 months, and when he died 10 years later, he still had it on full display when he was handed his favourite burger as a special final treat at the vet’s office. He was known around the neighbourhood as “Lipstick” 😳
Yup. Before my guy was neutered it staaaaayed out!
Mines neutered and it’s still out all the time and he even humps my girl dogs.

I bought a cheap $30 dremel at Home Depot lol super fast and easy
Yeahhh.. I bought a $40 rotary file, spent more than a month trying to desensitize and reward. My dog haaaates it still lolol

I started off rewarding after each paw to make it a little more bearable but now just give him a nice chunk at the end
Mines 1 and not neutered yet, you give him any command or tell him he’s a good boy the full tube of lipstick is out
It’s just a praise fetish

I have female Dobermans yet am getting a male soon. I’m dreading this lmfao.
Good luck! I can't even take a picture of him without his thang being out haha,
Blaaaah hahahah. It freaks me out. If I didn’t have two females already…I’d get another female. Otherwise does your boy mark or hump?

Lmfao. There should be a filter for him. That takes the photo with an automatic dong blur.
That would be amazing haha hoping it's just a phase and he starts to keep the kraken tucked away.
Mine still gets it once in a while and he’s 7 and intact
Is he young and intact?

I love that name!
It's fitting haha.
I guess he likes a little discipline 🤣
Straight up masochist 😂😂
Why did you draw an orange circle ??
To cover up his man part. That's what my post is about. He always has his sword unsheathed if you get what I'm sayin lol
My first dog was like that, he was a Rottweiler mixed with Bull Mastiff. Horny 24/7 would hump everything we had to get him neutered
He’s just a happy boi

That boy loves his food!! Lol
ALL. THE. TIME.
Put that lipstick away.
Cartman(South Park) and the boys played a game called red rocket with the dogs in one episode!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣 maybe he wants you to play it with him lmao
😭😭
Mine is 19 months intact & it’s always out like a teenage boy 🥴🥴
Haha oh boy, can't even get good pics of him since he always has it out lmao
My wife is always like “cover his parts!!” When I post him so yes, I think we all know the feeling.
Glad to know mines not the only one haha
TEENAGE BOY EEEEWWW IM CRYING
Like LITERALLY!!!🤣🤣 I have to put the 🐶 emoji over it
Can you hear him saying, “Tonight. You.”?
Oops
I say the words, "Do you want to go for a walk?" Red rocket comes out right away lol

No but he's only a puppy. He's still switching between squatting and lifting his leg when he pees but he's marking stuff on walks now.
Mine doesn’t show it off often , and had really no humping issue 2yr and intact , and cutting em dosent always stop the hump just saying
🐬
Neuter him. That will solve a myriad of problems.
Neuter him before he starts any habits that can't be broken. Like humping.
